Get Goat Wise | Homestead Livestock, Raising Goats, Chickens, Off-grid living
A couple of weeks ago in Episode 117 I talked about how our market evolved away from the sale barn. Today I want to talk about why the auction can be a great place for meat goat producers to start selling their goats, and for a lot of producers it's the right long-term market. Today I want to talk about how to use the sale barn well, the research, the timing, the relationship building, what to do when you pull in, and what I learned over several years selling this way. Let's get to it. Episode Mentions: 117 | Selling Meat Goats: From Sale Barn Auctions to a Waitlist 11 | Should I Tag My Goats?

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
Do zoos actually help conservation? Contribute to wildlife research? Or are they mostly to entertain people? A couple of years ago, I did a podcast interview all about zoos, and I thought this would be a great topic for my own podcast due to the complexity. It's not a straightforward answer…In fact, during the pandemic, when we were all watching The Tiger King, I did a whole blog post series on the ethics and research impacts of zoos, and these are still some of my most popular posts!Zoos were originally built purely for entertainment and were the only way most people could see an exotic animal. Placed in cement cages or concrete pits, animals were there to fascinate, but at the expense of their well-being. But as scientists and the public have learned more about animals, some zoos began to change. There are now high-quality institutions running genuine conservation science, captive breeding programs, and research on wild animal populations.But unfortunately, not all zoos have stepped up. There are still dilapidated roadside attractions where animals are locked in cement cages, might be forced to do unnatural and harmful tricks, or be bred to have a constant supply of babies for tourists to pose with for photos, and with nowhere to go once they get older. These zoos might do things that they call research, but really, this is a form of greenwashing so that they can use these small projects to justify their money-making operations from animals. On the flip side, I talk about how zoos genuinely contribute to conservation. For example, conducting real research on animals outside of their zoo population, providing genetic safety nets, and captive breeding animals like the black-footed ferret and golden lion tamarin from the brink of extinction. In this episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I'm going to walk you through zoos so that you can understand these differences, as well as offer some guidelines so that you can make an informed decision for yourself. I break down what separates a good zoo from a bad one, and the gray areas in between. I also address the harder question of whether zoos change people's minds. Many claim that zoos educate the public about wildlife, but just because they present information doesn't mean that people take it in or take conservation actions…Those are much harder to change. I talk about a meta-analysis of 56 studies on visitor attitudes after zoo visits, plus how zoos like Cheyenne Mountain Zoo are trying to close the gap between education and action with things like their sustainable palm oil initiative.And because this podcast is always about helping you build a wildlife career, I offer an overview of the different kinds of roles that you can obtain for employment, as well as my own behind-the-scenes experience, where I monitored elephant pregnancy hormones and worked on reproductive research for cotton-top tamarins.You'll get a rundown of the career paths zoos actually offer: zookeeping, education, communications, research, and creative roles like videography, plus wildlife-adjacent jobs in finance, fundraising, and law. I also explain what kinds of zoo work won't help your wildlife career, no matter how much hands-on animal experience it seems to offer.Specifically, we talk about:The history of zoos, and how they evolved from pure entertainment into institutions that can contribute to research, education, and conservationThe clear signs that separate an ethical zoo from an unethical one including enrichment, keeper barriers, and whether the public is allowed to touch wild animalsWhy Tiger King-style roadside zoos like Myrtle Beach Safari don't count as real conservation work, and how to spot greenwashing when a zoo claims to "support conservation"Why zoo populations serve as a safety net for species with critically small wild populationsReal conservation success stories through captive breeding, including golden lion tamarins and black-footed ferretsThe behind-the-scenes research zoos do that visitors never see, including my own experience monitoring elephant hormones as a Disney's Animal Kingdom internWhether zoos actually succeed at changing visitor attitudes and behavior toward conservation, and what the research saysThe strongest arguments against zoosAn overview of wildlife career paths at zoos: zookeeping, education, communications, research, creative and media roles, and wildlife-adjacent careers like finance, fundraising, and lawAnd MORE!Jump links:1:52 Tiger King during COVID4:59 History of zoos: from pure entertainment to modern standards7:28 Roadside zoos & Tiger King-style operations8:08 Signs of an ethical zoo: no touching wild animals, enrichment, barriers13:00 Captive breeding & maintaining genetic diversity15:10 Reintroduction programs & minimizing human contact16:37 Personal experience at Disney's Animal Kingdom (elephant endocrine research)20:31 Zoos & education: Do they change attitudes toward wildlife?23:47 The argument against zoos25:49 AZA accreditation & evolving zoo standards27:56 Careers in zoos overview33:02 Outro & upcoming free training: The Four Faux PawsDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

William Penn returned from Ireland in August 1670, and soon found himself arrested, along with fellow Quaker William Mead, for preaching to a crowd in public in violation of “the common law,” an ambiguity that would play out during their momentous trial. The trial would end in their acquittal, notwithstanding egregious intimidation of the jury by the judge, the Lord Mayor Sir Samuel Starling. Among other exciting moments, Starling threw the principled foreman of the jury, Edward Bushel, in jail. Bushel’s suit for a writ of habeas corpus would lead to a verdict that established an inviolate principle in Anglo-American law, that judges may not intimidate juries. Penn and Mead were acquitted under the glare of remarkable publicity for the day, and the case would establish Penn as a nationally famous advocate for Dissenting religion. After his acquittal, Penn finally made it home to visit his dying father, Sir William Penn, with whom he reconciled in a poignant father-son moment. Subscribe to my Substack!

Topics: Commentary: Who are the “least of these”? (00:00) Are all things good or evil? (35:00) If someone truly believes many good things are wrong, how would you counsel them to move forward in life? (42:00) If we say God has a reason to allow gratuitous (i.e., meaningless) suffering, then aren't we saying he's unable or uninterested in bringing about his good ends without the use of suffering, and how do we make moral distinctions about suffering if it's all doing good?

Want to create a personalized homeschool high school that actually fits your teen? Ditch the one-size-fits-all model and design a meaningful high school experience built around their real interests, strengths, and goals. When my son was little, he was deeply into LEGO, Minecraft, and Roblox. Like many moms, I found myself wondering: Is he going to be an engineer? Of course, loving to build might simply mean enjoying creative play. But as he’s grown, those early interests have taken shape in surprising and evolving ways. Now 16, he’s fully immersed in AP Physics — passionately trying to explain its wonders to me, a mom who, let’s just say, opted out of physics altogether in high school. (In case you’re also not fluent in physics, it’s the study of how the universe works — from motion and matter to forces and energy. According to my teen, it’s the language behind roller coasters, rocket launches, and even coffee machines.) So naturally, we’ve started planning a post-secondary tour of local engineering programs. From LEGO to Fire Halls: How One Teen’s Interests Keep Evolving But then—plot twist—he began volunteering at our local rural fire hall. Thanks to a provincial grant, he's being paid to train and get hands-on with emergency equipment and fire safety. He's found joy in team dynamics, truck maintenance, and yes—gear talk. He recently took a First Responders weekend course, which excludes ER scenarios—but with his dad being an ER physician, their conversations now sound like a medical podcast when they're driving home together. Will he be an engineer, a paramedic, a firefighter, a physicist, or a doctor? The truth is—I don't know. And that's exactly the point. Why a Personalized Homeschool High School Starts With Who They Are Now Having raised and launched three older kids, I've learned that what excites them at 16 may not at 17—or 25. What matters is that they have space to explore who they are now—not who we think they should become later. And that's the heart of a personalized homeschool high school. https://youtu.be/BdmKJSIJFik?si=GbEThW6xFG6cVa9f Why a Personalized Homeschool High School Matters for Your Teen As a homeschool parent approaching the high school years, you might find yourself fielding questions from well-meaning relatives, friends, or strangers: “But what about college?” “How will they get a diploma?” “Aren't you worried about gaps in their education?” These questions come from a conventional lens—and they often miss the deeper, more meaningful reality of a personalized homeschool high school: an education that honours who your teen is, what they care about, and how they learn best. And yet, every time I share our story, I’m met with the same questions Building a Personalized Homeschool High School for Your Unique Teen The traditional high school model often follows a rigid formula: Four years. Prescribed courses. Standardized testing. College prep. But personalized homeschooling invites us to pause and ask more essential questions: Who is this teen in front of me? What are their natural strengths, curiosities, and goals? How do they learn best—and how can we make learning meaningful? This isn't about lowering the bar. It's about raising relevance. It's about designing a path that grows with your teen—not boxing them into a predetermined one-size-fits-all plan. The “Cover Everything” Myth in Homeschool High School A major source of anxiety for homeschool parents is the pressure to “cover everything”—to make sure there are no academic gaps. But here’s the truth: Even traditionally schooled students with perfect grades have gaps. Like you–because you have gaps, right? What matters most is not checking every box—it's cultivating a love of learning, teaching critical thinking, and giving teens the skills to learn what they need when they need it. As one seasoned homeschooler once told me: “Everyone has gaps. The difference is, homeschooled teens often know how to fill them.” Also, as a medical professional I’m married to once told me, “I can resuscitate you, but I don’t know how to build a chicken coop”. Gaps. Everyone’s got them. This is my daughter in the OR with my husband (in Africa)–until she was a high school senior, she wanted to attend medical school. Then she went to ballet school. But that’s for another story. Teen-Led Learning: The Heart of Personalized Homeschooling The high school years are a time of individuation—when teens start carving out an identity that's distinct from yours. That might look like questioning long-held family decisions, including homeschooling itself. Which is normal. Developmentally appropriate growth. (Although, also undeniably surprising at times, and definitely annoying at times too, just sayin’) Some teens might stick with homeschooling through high school. Others may want to try a co-op, community college class, or hybrid learning experience. Some may choose to return home again after testing new waters. And some might even pursue public or private school. A personalized homeschool high school allows flexibility. It meets your teen where they are. What If Your Homeschool High Schooler Changes Their Mind? Remember my 16-year-old and his physics + fire hall + medical training journey? He’s exploring, he’s sampling, and he’s curious. And guess what? That's exactly what these years are for. (Truly, I believe all of life can be, but I digress). Just because your teen is passionate about something now doesn't mean they'll stick with it forever. And just because we adults once chose a path at 17 doesn't mean we're still on it today. (Raise your hand if you've changed careers, callings, or creative pursuits since graduating high school.) We need to stop asking teens, “What will you do for the rest of your life?” Instead, we can ask, “What interests you right now—and how can I support you in exploring it?” Interest-Based Learning in Your Personalized Homeschool High School We often approach high school with tunnel vision focused on college preparation. Yet statistics show that 70-80% of college freshmen change their majors during their first year. Most adults aren’t working in the field they planned to enter at 18. This suggests we might better serve our teens by helping them: Discover their authentic interests and strengths Develop transferable skills like critical thinking and independent learning Gain real-world experience through internships, volunteering, or entrepreneurship Build a portfolio showcasing their capabilities and achievements Explore potential paths without premature commitment Personalized Homeschool High School Paths Beyond the 4-Year Degree Wondering how to personalize your teen's homeschool path in real-time? Here are some simple ways to begin: Interest Inventory: Ask your teen what they're curious about. What do they love doing in their free time? What subjects spark joy? Flexible Learning Plans: Tailor academics to include subjects or electives that support those interests—think architecture for a builder, creative writing for a storyteller, anatomy for a budding EMT. Real-World Experience: Look into internships, volunteer work, shadowing professionals, or community-based opportunities. Teen Involvement: Let them co-create their schedule, choose electives, and reflect on their goals. Portfolio Documentation: Keep records of their personalized learning projects, papers, courses, experiences, and reflections. Want to Feel More Confident While Supporting Your Teen's Growth? Transitioning into homeschooling high school can stir up doubts and fears—Can I really do this? What if I mess it up? That's why I created the Mindsets for Homeschool Moms Transitioning into High School workbook—a journaling and reflection tool to help you shift your mindset, clarify your role, and feel more grounded as you walk with your teen into these transformative years.

Israel is in a strategically weakened position – and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will take a hard political hit if reports on the details of U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding are accurate, Haaretz columnist Joshua Leifer said on the Haaretz Podcast. Netanyahu had been “riding high,” planning to face Israel’s upcoming elections in the fall having compensated for his failures that led to October 7 by boldly “reconfiguring the map of the Middle East, and disassembling Iran's proxy network of Hezbollah and Hamas, and taking on the Iranian regime itself,” Leifer said. The Israeli leader thought “his legacy [would] be rehabilitated by those wars. Fast forward to where we are now, and that's not the case, and he’s having to confront that,” Leifer added. “Strategically, Israel's in a terrible place, where the Iranian regime is stronger than it was, and it is now able to enforce a new kind of equation where Israeli freedom of movement is limited by the potential threat of ballistic missiles from Iran – which wasn't the case prior to October 7.” Netanyahu, Leifer said, has been “backed into a corner” on all of Israel’s fronts – Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and now Iran. He must follow Trump’s dictates and has turned Israel into “a total vassal state of the U.S.” and “Trump’s lapdog.” If he were to defy Trump, he runs the risk of losing American support, which could endanger the country even more.

The golden-voiced son on Richard and Linda is more tied to '50s/'60s rock and country than he his to his parents' folk influences, and he's recorded ten albums of tuneful, straightforward but highly idiosyncratic rock and country tunes since 2000.

The Future of Destiny 2: What You Need to Know About Its Last Update Meta Description: Discover the latest on Destiny 2’s final update and what it means for players. Learn about server shutdowns, content changes, and the future of Bungie’s game development. Opening ParagraphDestiny 2 players are facing a significant change as Bungie announces the end of new content updates for the game. With the last update rolling out on June 9th, many players are left wondering what this means for their beloved game. In this post, we’ll break down the details of this final update, what players can expect, and the implications of Bungie’s shift in focus towards new projects like Marathon. The Last Hurrah for Destiny 2 The announcement that June 9th will mark the last official update for Destiny 2 has sent shockwaves through the community. This beloved game was initially designed to be a long-term project, with developers promising a decade of content and updates. Unfortunately, it appears that the game will only last about eight and a half years. After numerous expansions and updates, players are left with more questions than answers. Why Is Destiny 2 Shutting Down? A Shift in Focus: Bungie has decided to shift its resources away from Destiny 2 to focus on a new project, Marathon, which is a departure from their previous titles. Player Engagement: Many players have expressed frustration with the game’s direction, citing paywalls and a lack of engaging content as reasons for their dwindling interest. What Will the Last Update Include? The final update promises to shake things up significantly: Buffs to Primary Weapons: Players can expect a revamp of weapon dynamics, which could alter the game’s balance. Removal of Portals: This change will impact gameplay mechanics, forcing players to adapt to new strategies. A Final Showdown: The update aims to bring all players together for one last epic experience before the game transitions to its new phase. The Community Reaction The community’s response to the shutdown announcement has been mixed. Many players feel a sense of loss, having invested time and money into the game. Others see it as an opportunity for Bungie to finally move on from a game that has seen better days. Players’ Concerns Future of the Game: With the servers going offline, many are left wondering if they can ever return to the game in the same capacity. Home Servers: Some players are exploring the possibility of creating private servers to keep the game alive amongst friends. What's Next for Bungie? As Bungie shifts its focus to Marathon, players are left to ponder the future. Will Bungie learn from the mistakes made during Destiny 2's lifecycle? New Horizons with Marathon Concept Overview: Marathon is a new shooter set in a unique digital world, focusing on extracting data from enemies. Expectations: Players are hoping for a smoother launch and a more engaging experience that avoids the pitfalls of paywalls and repetitive content. Conclusion The end of Destiny 2 as we know it marks a pivotal moment in gaming history. While the last update has the potential to offer an exhilarating finale, it also raises questions about Bungie’s direction and commitment to its player base. As the gaming community pivots towards new projects, it remains to be seen how Bungie will navigate this transition and what it will mean for dedicated fans of Destiny 2. Key Takeaways June 9th marks the last update for Destiny 2, signaling the end of an era. Players can expect significant changes in gameplay dynamics with the final update. Bungie is shifting focus towards its new project, Marathon, in hopes of revitalizing its offerings.

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
AI seems like it's EVERYWHERE nowadays, and I know if you're a conservationist like me, you're concerned about its environmental impacts, and maybe even avoiding it because of them…But I recently read an article that scared the bejesus out of me. It basically stated: AI is here, and those who don't know how to use it well, WILL be left behind. And then I realized, AI is already here, not just in our everyday lives (you can't run a Google search without it), but it's also here in wildlife work. Big conservation organizations all over the globe are using AI to document, assess, and analyze biodiversity to combat huge losses. Platforms like iNaturalist, Merlin Bird ID, and Wildlife Insights all use AI models. And now I'm starting to see it pop up in wildlife job advertisements. Posts are now asking for applicants to know how to use and run AI effectively in wildlife work by integrating Claude and ChatGPT in their workflow and processes. This episode is NOT about the environmental impacts of AI, but rather that it's that AI is here, hard to avoid to some extent, and that organizations are already using it. If you're pursuing wildlife work, they are now also asking you to adopt it. And just like the article I read, I'm concerned that if you don't adopt it, you'll be left behind. So in this episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I am talking all about AI in wildlife work. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous to record this one. It's a topic that can ruffle some feathers, and as you'll learn in the episode, there is a lot of real pushback from not just environmentalists, but society as a whole. My goal in providing you with this episode isn't to tell you whether to use AI or avoid it. I'll leave that up to you. Rather, it's to provide you with my perspective using 20+ years in wildlife work, and actually having worked on a large AI conservation project, on how it's already being used in nature and conservation research, how I expect it to be used in the future, and what it means for your career.In this episode, I walk you through how large conservation organizations are using AI with examples across different species and systems, and what it means for you as a job-seeker. Should you use AI to write your cover letters and resume? Is AI messing up the system so that your applications can't get through? I'll cover all of that for you.So if you're worried about what AI means for wildlife careers, or maybe you're curious and didn't realize the extent to which it is being used in conservation research right now, or just want to get the competitive edge when it comes to wildlife, conservation, or environmental careers, this episode is for you. Specifically, we talk about:Real examples of how AI is being used in wildlife research right now, such as camera trap processing, animal behavior studies, in surveys, and moreHow AI is changing data processing roles and what this means for internships and field assistant positions. Will these jobs be gone? Why wildlife careers are becoming more quantitative and computer-heavy, and what skills to prioritizeHow AI is going to continue to affect wildlife jobs and careers at a variety of levelsHow AI is affecting the job application process. Should you use AI to write a cover letter? Resume? If AI is making it harder for your job application to move to the interview stageHow leaning on AI can actually hurt your career when it comes to job applications, networking, and standing outWhy it's more important than ever to be authentic and do something different to separate yourself from others when seeking jobs What conservation organizations are starting to ask for when it comes to AI in wildlife jobsAnd more!Jump Links:00:00 Welcome and Topic04:25 AI Environmental Impact and Context08:54 AI Is Already Here in Wildlife Work12:57 AI Tools in Conservation17:31 Research Automation Examples22:00 Jobs and Skills Shift26:21 Data Heavy Future30:10 Regular Job Postings Seeking AI Skills34:18 Authenticity Over Automation for Job Applications43:26 AI in the Hiring Process47:02 Final Thoughts and Next StepsDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

Most of us don't think about brain health until something goes wrong. We think it's normal to experience brain fog or we just accept cognitive decline is inevitable as we age. Science shows you can physically change your brain at any age. You can grow new neurons, build stronger connections, and even shrink your risk of Alzheimer's — and it doesn't require anything mysterious or extreme. My guest is Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a renowned neurologist and one of the world's leading experts in brain health. He received his MD from Harvard Medical School and his PhD in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he now serves as an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute. He's also the author of the new book The Invincible Brain. Some of the things we discuss are: Why your brain is an organ you can care for like your teeth or your heart — not a mysterious black box you're stuck with The 12-week brain fitness study that showed older adults physically grew their brains by 1–3%, making them up to three years younger on an MRI Why genetics play a surprisingly small role in late-life Alzheimer's — and how exercise can cancel out the effects of the highest-risk gene The exact amount of exercise that strengthens your brain (and why doing more than this won't help) Why sleep is an active brain-cleaning process — and what 20+ years of insomnia does to the memory center of your brain The one rule about food Dr. Fotuhi cares about more than keto vs. Mediterranean vs. vegetarian How chronic stress physically shrinks your brain, plus the perspective shift his daughter learned that keeps her calm under pressure Simple daily ways to challenge your brain — from memorizing names to license plates in traffic The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for building a physically stronger, younger brain starting today Related Episodes 91 — The Biggest Threats to Your Brain Health and the Lifestyle Changes You Should Make Today to Stay Sharp with Dr. Austin Perlmutter 212 — What Are You Feeding Your Brain?
