I will help you craft a story that can be broadcast far and wide, no matter how outside-the-norm you are. If your dream is to have a cover story in a prestige periodical, a […]

Day 969 and Hot Chicks
I know it’s a little bit odd to be getting chickens in August, but as of today our homestead is now home to eight egg laying hens. Some of our friends are moving and needed a local home for their laying hens. Another one of our friends was giving up their old chicken coop so […]

Day 963 and Chronic Stress
I don’t think of myself as living a particularly stressful life. I’m one of the luckiest people I know. I love and am loved by my family. I own a homestead in Montana. I work with brilliant people. My one burden in life is my health. I don’t want to undersell how much it affects […]

Day 940 and Dishes
Much to my surprise, tomorrow it will have been one year since my husband and I moved from Colorado to Montana. It feels like the time absolutely flew by. We achieved quite a bit on the homestead in just a year here. We installed a solar grid so we can be off the power grid […]
You could be forgiven for losing faith in the American Dream. We’ve had a rough couple of years with bad vibes and culture wars. The Great Weirdening era was not easy. I’ve been encouraging people to consider preparedness in the face of unrelenting uncertainty for a decade now. It’s time for us to move on […]

Introverted Julie somehow always finds the homesteader, science fiction, alternative economy, crypto libertarian aesthetic studies […]

756 and Weather Station
We live outside of town. We’ve learned that means the weather that is being reported isn’t always accurate for us as the various weather stations are mostly at the university or downtown. So what does a pair of homesteaders do? Buy our own weather station! It’s an Ecowitt 2553. In the US, Ecowitt weather stations […]

Day 693 and Thanksgiving
I’ve got so much to be thankful for this year. And it’s the first time since the pandemic began that I’ve felt optimistic about where I’m going with my life. Even if I’m a bit of a doomer, I remain a believer in the human capacity to figure shit out. The road to tomorrow is […]

Day 667 and Socializing
I’ll admit I had certain expectations of what living in Montana would be like. I like my space and I like being on my own. I had fantasies of quiet days to myself focusing on my investing and my homestead. So it’s been something of a surprise to find myself socializing more in Montana than […]
