  1. My antidote to disgust & nagging spirals in social media and to 💩 AISlop.

    Grounding. They produce better sh*t than LLMs! And if you want to learn about the pure joy of life, watch baby goats!

  2. A young goat destined to be sacrificed to the goddess Kamakhya as an act of devotion. The tradition of bali (offering or sacrifice) is, in this context, a ritual practice linked to fertility, power and devotion to the goddess Kamakhya, associated with the divine feminine and the menstrual cycle. Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati, Assam, India, November 2025.

  3. OK, that is it for today.

    The house is cooling, it might freeze outside tonight.

    The kitchen smells of fresh #sourdough - two loaves now sitting in a cool oven to keep them safe from any #mice that are canny enough to make it into the kitchen tonight.

    No prizes for guessing what we will be eating for breakfast tomorrow.

    I am going to bed assuming that the world's despots will give us another day tomorrow.

    So we can enjoy more pictures of baby goats

  15. CW: USPol and the red hat gang ; Aesopian Fable "The Fox and the Goat (in the well)"

    The two different versions are because the final piece displays differently on different screens.

    Anyway...
    I just HAD to parody the red trucker caps for the political commentary because the goat pun just begged to be made.

  20. I am a Trinitarian, if not exactly a good Catholic, so I like to find threes of things. Once you're alert to the ubiquity of three-fold equilibria among fundamental concepts, it's hard not to start seeing triangles in everything…Jewish art and architecture is really good at evoking triplets of things, isn't it? Marvellous. I think of crystals and pyramids and sequences of numbers and all sorts of fun things, when I glance towards the Tree of Life. Kabbalah is closed to me but…c'mon, look at it! of COURSE it's powerful! It's like higher mathematics (cf. the intricate radial and cylindrical symmetries of Muslim art and architecture and its spectacular knowledge of tesselations.)

    There is a holy trinity of goat acids. I do not lie! One can speak sensibly, in chemistry, of the goat acids. There are three medium-chain fatty acids, three 'normal' (i.e. straight-chain) alkanoic acids, that are the goat acids.

    Caproic acid, hexanoic acid, CH3(CH2)4COOH
    Caprylic acid, octanoic acid, CH3(CH2)6COOH
    Capric acid, decanoic acid, CH3(CH2)8COOH

    All of them have a name which refers to the goat as seen below. The Latin word for goat is capra (and caprea and capriolus and some others, Latin is a bit loosier-goosier with alternate spellings and word-forms than English) and thus supplies the root for all these chemical names. And all these acids and certain compounds of these acids are especially commonplace in goats. Cute widdle bouncy gotes which my esteemed colleague Kaylin Evergreen detests. She is (to me anyway) a priestess of Queen Hera, the formidable matriarch of the Hellenic deities whom I honor as best I can, in whose guidance I have trusted in many lean times and bitter moments. Hera bears among other epithets the name of Ἥρη Αἰγοφάγος, Goat-Eating Hera! Hence I am always getting a bit of stink-eye from Queen Hera about my own…dalliances with gotes. In the past, as it were. oh dear

    Anyway! I have had a long-time fascination with this little chemical triplet, which I once remember seeing pop up in a diagram showing how those three acids could be resolved on a liquid chromatographic column. They're "model compounds" indeed: showing that you can resolve the three acids cleanly with your analytical equipment is a good demonstration of the effectiveness of chemical analysis.

    They're found among many living things, not just goats; they're among the common lipids of organic life on Earth. Valerian root is another material that tends to be rich in the goat acids and thus valerian has a characteristic stench about it. I happen to regard it as a more or less pleasant smell in moderation (I guess I would) but I will allow as how it's a bit overpowering of other smells. They're just a bit more volatile than other organic acids likely to be found, so…you smell them more.

  21. This article also discusses making home-made weed killer from vinegar and soap, but be careful when applying it... Don't apply to flowering plants, and apply at night after the bees have gone home.

    #EcoFriendly and #EnvironmentallyFriendly #WeedKiller: Does It Exist?

    By Stephanie Osmanski
    Updated July 20 2020,

    Excerpt:
    "Another eco-friendly alternative to weed killer is enlisting the help of animal friends. Good for the environment and entirely non-toxic, goats can scarf down any unwanted weeds from #kudzu, #OrientalBittersweet, and #ailanthus to #MultifloraRosa, #JapaneseHoneysuckle, and mile-a-minute.

    "In fact, some companies — such as #Ecogoats and #GoatsEatWeeds — even rent out goats to homeowners that want eco-friendly help controlling their unwanted noxious weeds. Because a goat’s least favorite food is grass, a goat will eat everything else first before munching on your lawn."

  22. These #Maine #goats are hungry for your #ChristmasTree

    by Susan Cover, December 29, 2025

    #LitchfieldME — "With the holidays winding down, it’s time to consider options for getting rid of the Christmas tree.

    "While many cities and towns offer pickup or drop off, some goat farms are happy to help as well.

    "At #IronLeafFarm in Litchfield, several Nigerian dwarf goats are ready and able to strip your tree bare.

    " 'They get trace minerals, antioxidants, forage, it helps with cutting down on hay in the winter,' farm owner Anne Seeber said.

    " 'No tinsel, make sure it’s clear of all lights and ornaments,' Seeber said. 'We do give them a once over before we allow the goats to have them.' "
