Well, I'm about 99% packed right now with all of my stuff and Monday and Tuesday are my cleaning days for this place and it feels strange. Like a year ago, I was still living in that substandard shack in Imperial, NE and wondering if I was going to die in there.
I filed my divorce papers with the District Court of Chase County, Nebraska and put my first 200 bucks in savings for my own car today. It's not much, but it's a fair start.
I stand with South African Boers. The genocide has to stop. Justice now!
@twatterbaas
this is for you and your people. My Croatian people know what its like when they kill your people and take your land in the 1990s. Farmers stand with Farmers.

You're high. The reason your mom went out and bought a gun was to protect you. Second amendment allows for us to protect ourselves. Cops are far away from my home, thus the firearm protects property and life here in rural areas.
My best friend Brandy, her son Jonah just tested positive for Coronavirus. He's in really bad shape and at the hospital being sedated and admitted because he has autism and is violent. She has a weak immune system and she saw him two days ago. Shit got real, in a hellfire hurry.
@MsBlaireWhite
I was 3 when I was sexually assaulted, I was 10 when it ended. Colorado department of justice didn't get me justice, my father did when he savagely beat, kicked, choked and almost slaughtered that next door neighbor who did that to me. My Papa was God in flesh that night.
@Izzyalright
Congratulations! You deserve justice. Neither people that raped me or the next door neighbor who molested me as a child got justice. The only justice I got was when my dad almost killed the neighbor for what he did, after I told my folks about it.
I went to North Platte WalMart just to get out of Imperial today. As I was in the curtain section, this older gentleman came up to me and timidly said "you look a lot like one of my old best friends, a guy I worked with at Sterling Beef, by the name of Big Dee Brdar".
@queersing
If the USA isn't so great, then why the hell did my father and thousands of others flee Communist Yugoslavia for this beautiful land? My Papa was so happy to come here and see fully stocked stores, be able to vote and to work. I'm grateful for everything this country gives me.
@sleepisocialist
Have you ever met anyone who fled Communism? I have, I called him Papa. You have no idea of the terrors of Communism. My Papa didn't get to see his family for decades because it wasn't safe to go home. At 13, I had to console him while he sobbed because his Mama died
This is the first Christmas where I didn't feel alone, wasn't suicidal and depressed. Good friends, a great girlfriend plus getting the toxic dead weight outta my house helped drastically. I can actually see a future for me.
@FemmeLoves
Fuck, not enough beer and time to sort that shitshow out into a rational idea. I've got nothing. Good luck, y'all will need it. Poly confuses me more than my past girlfriends, organic chem and college algebra combined at 8 AM on a Monday morning.

Well, I can shrug 75-100 lbs on my shoulders all day long, I can handle 200 to 225 lb hog carcasses on my shoulders to start breaking them and I can get my ass handed to me by a 1350 lb fat steer and not cry. I developed that on the kill floor. Your point is?
Oh my fresh frozen hell, so this is what the gates of hell's hottest fires looks like. Schumer looks like the creepy ass funeral director and Botox Betty on the right can't even blink her damn eyes.

One stellar night for me! I got to visit with my lifetime hero and idol, Dr. Temple Grandin! She is autistic, like me and a major driver of the improvements in the meat industry. Most of the livestock killed in the plants I worked went through her handling systems.
You know, in a month, I went from seeing jumping off the dam at Enders, rope around the rafters of a round top or finding my end in a syringe full of Micotil to actually seeing a future for me and not being afraid to reach out for it. I'm damn proud of myself.
Tears came to my eyes, as I replied in a quivering voice: "Sir, I am the youngest daughter of Big Dee Brdar". He told me stories about my dad and it made me smile. People only die when they forget about you. I slipped off my mask and he just looked like he saw a ghost.
I swear to God, if one more fucking person bitches at me about the lack of meat on my retail counter I'm going to snipe on them about being grateful this is temporary and not permanent like fucking Communism. These lousy fucks wouldn't have survived a day in my Dad's time.

My body is paying for it, but I'm not one to shirk the work. It's the one place that took a chance on an immigrant from Communist Yugoslavia and it's the place where I redeemed myself and it's home.
I was wearing my Hooker Sweatshirt from Hooker Oklahoma and I got asked if I knew my shirt was offensive? Nah, I told them, it's a location not the vocation.

@billmaher
we have good food here too..Sehnert's in McCook,NE just won a James Beard award. Plus we don't have people shitting on the streets like feedyard cattle like y'all do in NYC, LA and SanFran.
Okay, okay, you deuces. I know I've been absent, but my boss seems to think I need to live at the cutting tables and cut more beef for some odd reason. I'm damn proud of myself, I kept the case full for three days while he was gone. One of the few days I actually liked me.
Still a lonely day for me on Thanksgiving, but there has been such an outpouring of love on Twitter, checking on me. Even strangers at work even checked on me. I'm still in a dark mood but it's lightened some.
Tonight, I'm wrapping up my 42nd birthday. It's just another lonely day for me. Several of my best friends forgot my birthday and I just got a half ass Happy Birthday from Wheelz. I get it that I'm easy to forget especially when they're all in relationships, but damn, yo.
Well, things are changing for me for the better! Today, I went for a interview at a higher volume meat department at McCook and I got offered a management position!! I also have legal representation to take this slumlord to court and my Tiff is coming in a month!!
Yes, my fellow Twitterites, I'm still here! It's been a wild and wooly couple of weeks in the meat department and almost had a mass mutiny because of a GM with a power trip who hates the entire meat department. However, she can lump it and we're still cutting meat!

It's been an extremely hard few days honestly. I literally missed two days of work because the depression is making me only want to sleep. I'm having a hard time shutting my suicidal ideation off even while sleeping. There's no hospital there I can go to that isn't hot with Rona.
Tomorrow is 40. I think for tomorrow, I'mma head to the lake, drink some beer and not let the terrorists fuck up my birthday. 9/11 was my day first, not theirs.
I'm seriously at the point of fuck it dude, I'm done and I'm over it. Fuck The Rona, fuck bullshit politics, fuck shitty commodity prices, fuck most human beings. I want nothing more than a bottle of Famous Grouse, a ounce of weed and a few friends around. I'm insanely lonely.
This meat cutter got a day off and what did she do? Well, I ran off to Colorado, got a lot Rocky Mountain High and played a little Hide the Pickle with a sleezy agronomist 15 minutes after her weekly therapy. It's Christmas, ho ho ho, bitches.
As a matter of fact, this entire weekend, Tweeps, I had no bouts with suicidal ideation or wanting to attempt. It was like for a couple of days, my brain was calm and collected.
I'm going to get harassed for saying this but every woman should know how to knock, bleed, skin, gut and split beef for her loved ones. It's part of being an incredible nurturer and Queen of the Kill Floor.

Look in the bottom right corner of the steak, first time I've seen a fat blemish. Steer got hurt, knot developed and instead of normal scar tissue, it turned to fat. This was a prime graded beef but this couldn't be seen until I cut it today.

My Papa came here from Communist Yugoslavia for freedom. This land has been good for our family, I'll defend her and my fellow American farmers to the death.
@trish_regan
My family's freedom came in the 1990s because of "assault weapons". That's how Croatian people left the shackles of Communism. By taking one type away, then it will go to another until all the protection we have is gone. I'm not willing for that.
My cow calf pair that I selected as grand Breeding. Six year old cow, 90 days bred with her fifth calf and fourth calf at side. She's a front pasture kind of cow.
Well, I've seen it all. My soon to be ex husband asked me to float him 60 bucks for fuel so he can see his buffalo heifer girlfriend. On Christmas Eve, as I'm cutting meat and making money to start my life over, while his ass can't keep a job.
Guess what folks?!? I got a new to me car and I'm so proud of myself! I bought a 2003 Nissan Altima with basically 121,000 actual miles for 4900. No financing. I thought I was sunk when the LeSabre's alternator shelled out that I would lose my job with Kugler.
Me. I'm badder than this heaux. I've worked on the biggest kill floors of the nation protecting human health, animal welfare and food safety as federal meat inspection. I've stood in subzero and hotter than hell weather doing feedlot postmortem without shirking.
@TedDeutch
Does that mean the same for me, a butch bi woman who is Conservative Libertarian and supports the NRA and Trump as well as the American Oilfield and Farmers?
4-H is for everyone! This little boy has some serious guts and drive to be here. Welcome to Chase County! At Logan County, we had a little girl with Downs too showing lambs and she gave it it her all. If you say you can't do it, bullshit. These kids probably outworked you.
If you could, I have a humble request. My cousin Antonija, my dad's first cousin and Rudy's wife is in the ICU at Sterling on a vent and prone because of COVID-19. Please keep the original scrappy Croat lady in your prayers. I love that lady so much. 🇭🇷♥️🇭🇷
Folks, I don't ask this often, but I need y'all to raise someone up in prayer or good thoughts tonight. My best friend, Brady Haynes aka Wheelz, his mom, Vernette is in the ICU up on the Front Range on the ventilator because of Corona. She's holding her own.
I've been taking some time down from Twitter to kind of reflect and I've had a few mental setbacks because of the holidays and the depression kinda spiked a bit but I'm getting better. I haven't forgotten y'all but I needed to come back emotionally to be the best here.

As a conservative leaning bi woman, the 2A protected my right for life a couple of times. My dad fled Communism to come here so we could be free! 2A protects 1A and the Constitution from threats, both foreign and domestic.
Not a good night for me, folks. I just lost the second man I loved more than life itself, the man that taught me my craft, was my rock when I needed him and that fucking cunt Coronavirus kept me away from seeing him. I fucking hate you, dementia and COVID-19.
@albertafarmlife
Guns are what saved my life. Guns are what let my family free itself from the shackles of Communism. God made all men, Samuel Colt made them all equal! Cops are 45 minutes away if something happened. I want my fair fighting chance. 2A protects all other amendments!

That's what breaks my heart. You deserved better and that is my worry for people wanting kids to transition. I see you and recognize your pain.

Meet Gyp. A gentleman who raises coyote hunting staghounds in Pritchett, CO is giving me this adorable ice eyed shag dog for free to help me with my autism/PTSD. He's a five month old puppy, so the pic makes him look older. I'm so stoked.
Am I sad about it. Kinda. Am I scared about my future, not so much as I was a few weeks ago. I'm going to make it. You'll see. I'm now the new manager of the trailer park I am in and I put in for a third job. I'm going to make it, one way or another.
Today at this time, this big dude, the OG kill man and the bravest son of a bitch I ever knew crossed over into the Great Beyond 28 years ago. 51 years old and a massive heart attack took him quickly. 13 years with him wasn't enough.

I made these today based off of idea from my beloved cousin Rudy, the OG meat man
A little 93% hamburger, a little homemade Italian sausage made by Mr Joe Langin, ricotta cheese, dried milk, parmesan cheese, plenty of spices and freshly chopped celery leaf, parsley and thyme
Went to see my Dad yesterday to wish him a happy birthday. Hard to think he's been gone almost 30 years. It's sad when my Croatian cousins remember him but my own siblings forget where he's buried at. Pretty damn pathetic if you ask me.
What do you do when you're bored and you want pizza, but don't feel like fucking with dough making? Break out the pie dough and make calzone pie! More cheesy than my Tata's (Papa's) jokes and enough fatty deli meat to piss off my vegan groupies. 25 minutes from now, we eat!
I did manage to eat a little today. All I got to do is keep it down. Small steps folks, small steps. Bulimia isn't about food, it's about trauma and control. This shit sucks though, no lie.

Y'know I wish this heifer hadn't blocked me. I'm kind, gentle, boisterous and kinda of an asshole at times and I've never found a man who actually didn't like it. Men want intelligent women, by and large, not doormats.
I remember back in 1988, Peetz Plateau K-12 school asked my Papa to be Santa Claus because he could fit the Santa suit and had the deep loud voice. Tiny me was mortified because I knew his English wasn't good (think PhD level profanity) and I wasn't about to sit in his lap.
You don't always know what happens in a person's head. I appear fully normal, but inside my head, the demons are there. The PTSD, the body dysmorphic disorder, the bulimia, the severe anxiety disorder, autism, major depression. Look, listen, learn

Hold the phone. My ass is not maternal. I'm bred with a strong back, good legs and a brain. I'm bred to work the kill floor or the fields. Period, end of discussion. You take me out of that and the college classes for meat, livestock and agronomy it would be suicide for me.
Thanks Dad, for coming here to the States, so I can exercise my right and freedom to vote. Right now, I'm in tears as I write this because there are a lot of apathetic people who refuse to vote because it's too hard for them to get off their ass and do it.
This bitch stepped to me, I'll knock her Lane Bryant Karen ass so fucking fast, she'd have to take off her mask to take a shit. No one steps like that to a kid and does this uppidy shit.

I'm getting better as the years go on, my father is resting peacefully in heaven now. When the molester died, I went to the funeral to check to make sure he was dead by tapping his eyes like a steer, then pissed on his grave.
Now, I'm two months away from 40. I still look fairly young for my age. Am I hot, meh, probably not. However, even though I'm not comfortable in my skin, I'm trying. I think today was kinda rough on the anxiety.
Looking dapper and happy in my new favorite tee shirt from BOXEL Manufacturing. No matter if it's meat rabbits to show steers, they all meet me at the cutting tables. All breeds welcome.

I broke down sobbing this morning while cutting pork chops thinking of Rudy. I know he's 90 year old and dementia sets in, but damn, did it have to happen to my Rudy?!? There is so much still for me to learn from him. This isn't fucking fair, yo.
