It's honestly just so sad to see so much censorship and hostility for even questioning the status quo. I know I shouldn't be surprised at this but I always am. 🇵🇸

What on earth would give farmer's market personnel the right to censor your personal page content? That's absurd. I'm continuously surprised at the level of discomfort people seem to experience in the presence of opposing views of any sort, as if they themselves are in imminent danger as a result. And I think the only right answer is to mourn the suffering & loss of both innocent Israelis and Palestinians and want it all to end - how on earth can that be wrong?

Thank you, Anna! This current climate of being unable and/or unwilling to have open and honest discourse over any number of topics really gets at me. My personal page is also the public farm page. They're not separate. I just wish we were able to talk about this issue and so many more without censoring each other...

I agree! I recently found someone who disagrees with me politically and is willing to have open conversations and answer questions and it has been an education. I'd love more of this type of discourse.

"When I am at my most wretched, dejected, grumpy and down. When I have Eeyore sitting on my shoulder, a constant companion who will simply not go away. When I am anxious, cross and worried — I turn to spaces across my farm, hidden and exposed, that remind me of the good in the world, the magic that exists right in front of me. Spots where I can look up and see a tree full of cedar waxwings or lie down, exhausted and frustrated against my favorite apple tree." I loved this!

Thank you! I find that nature is the most healing force to keep me happy and sane. A good walk does more for me and clearing my head then just about anything!

It is censorship, pure and simple….i too have always supported the Palestinians; the genocide occurring there is atrocious….how sad that someone feels impelled to lecture you concerning your opinion…
