Last week I loaded up the pigs I had raised since piglets and took them to the butcher. And to be honest, it never gets easier.

These pigs lived an incredible life. They weren’t confined to a stuffy building or standing on filthy concrete their whole lives. They spent their days on pasture, grounded to the earth, rooting through the soil, grazing diverse plants, feeling the sun on their backs, & living according to the rhythms nature intended. They woke up with the sunrise and settled down with the sunset. They had room to roam, play, express natural instincts, and simply be pigs!

As farmers, we spend months caring for these animals. We protect them from predators, provide fresh water, custom corn & soy-free feed, and clean pasture. We watch them grow, & give them behind the ear scratches.

They live the best lives possible! And then one day, we load them up, knowing they will have one bad moment before their next journey.

Wendell Berry once described the butcher process as “animals on their way to becoming people.” Because their story doesn’t end at the butcher. Their life becomes nourishment! Their sacrifice feeds families. It becomes strength, energy, celebration, and shared meals around the dinner table.

The modern food system often disconnects us from this reality, and makes food appear as if it simply arrives on a grocery store shelf with no story behind it. No sacrifice, no stewardship, and no relationship.

And while we are often told that avoiding animal foods removes us from death... that story is very farm from the real conversation. The conversation isn’t animal agriculture versus plant agriculture. It should be regenerative agriculture versus industrial agriculture.

It’s the difference between working with nature and trying to dominate it. One approach builds soil, restores ecosystems, supports pollinators, and leaves the land healthier than it found it.

The other often relies on factory farms, cramming animals into buildings, monocultures, heavy chemical inputs, and practices that deplete the living systems that make food possible.

Food will always be part of nature’s cycle of life and death. That doesn’t mean we should be careless about it. If anything, it means we should approach food with more gratitude, more reverence, and more responsibility.

Standing in a pasture and raising animals from birth to harvest reminds you that food is never separate from nature. These pigs didn’t just provide food. Throughout their lives, they fertilized the land, built healthier soil, supported biodiversity, and played a role in a living ecosystem.

I believe honoring animals means giving them the best life we possibly can and never taking their sacrifice for granted.

So when I loaded them last week, I didn't just feel sadness. I also felt gratitude for the animals, the land, & the opportunity to participate in a cycle that has connected humans to nature for thousands of years ❤️

Last week was incredibly difficult.

I want to start by saying that my role was not cut, but almost my entire core team, excluding a small portion of us, are gone.

The Creative Studios team was part of the creative talent behind many of the visual marketing and brand assets you've seen for @DestinyTheGame and @MarathonTheGame over the years. The team was formed when @Bungie became a self-publisher in 2019, growing out of a much smaller group then known as VizD, or Visual Development. We were a small but mighty team, carrying forward a legacy of supporting marketing content for Halo and other early Bungie games.

Since 2019, our team grew to more than 30 people in order to sustainably support live service trailers, key art, logos, screenshots, composites, gameplay capture, motion graphics, production, technical capture infrastructure, and more. Working side by side with marketing and game developers, we worked closely within our own team and with a wide network of external creative agencies and freelancers to produce Bungie's player-facing marketing creative.

I had the privilege of helping build the Creative Studios art team as Bungie became a self-publisher and personally hired many of the talented artists and leaders across the team. Watching them grow into their roles and become the exceptional creatives or managers they are today will always remain one of the highlights of my career and one of the best parts of my job here.

Creative Studios was so much more than just a team to work with. It was a tight nit group of talented, thoughtful, and inspiring people, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of it.

To my peers in Creative Studios: you have been at the heart of so much of what makes Bungie special. Your creativity, passion, and vision helped shape the marketing visuals for games and worlds that so many players love. I truly hope you can look back at what we created together and feel proud, not only of the work itself, but of the impact each of you personally made.

Thank you for everything you gave to this team and to each other. Thank you for showing up for one another, for trusting me, for bringing so much talent and care to the work, and for making this team a true unicorn in an industry that rarely makes space for something this special.

I'm going to miss working with all of you more than I can put into words.

If you're a hiring manager, Art Director, or Creative Director hiring for the roles I listed above, please reach out. I'd be happy to share thoughtful recommendations based on your specific needs.

"At zero cost to the taxpayer" While this is music to the ears of every normal person, to professional bureaucrats, it is the equivalent of turning up to a PETA conference and extolling the virtues of a carnivore diet.

These people live off the tit of the taxpayer.

You have just proven that not only are they surplus to requirements, but they are the problem.

To quote the Harrow litter enforcement mafia, "You're messing with my money"

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

Dear @EnvAgency.

In February this year, after 4 years of asking you to look after the Aldersbrook, I led a team of volunteers to do your job for you & clean out tonnes of silt & leaves, as well as hundreds of bags of rubbish. Through the effort of community volunteers & donations, & at zero cost to the taxpayer, we turned a forgotten silted up ditch back into a river again.

Last nights intense rain storm showed why our actions are the very definition of “strengthening water resilience”. A huge amount of rain fell in a short time, but the restored section of the Aldersbrook has been able to hold 100’s of thousands of litres more water, stopping this water running into the Roding, & thereby *reducing* local flood risk. The first photograph below is of the Aldersbrook after the rains this morning- a big contrast to the area before we did the work.

Perhaps more importantly, this water, instead of running straight off into the Roding & hence the sea is now being held in the Aldersbrook & gradually released so it can be used by nature. It is feeding marshes, trees & wildlife, topping up groundwater & helping to reduce our flood/drought cycle. If you want to strengthen water resilience, we need thousands more projects like the Aldersbrook around the country.

So the question I ask you, Environment Agency, is why you are threatening me with two years imprisonment, rather than offering to meet & discuss how we can work together to restore the Roding & its tributaries, which could become a blueprint for you cooperating with local river guardians nationwide?

@higgyboson Wilful theft and vandalism, get it reported to the police escalate it to the chief and your MP you want it prosecuted. Work with them I’d put the bugger in his own grave Higgy complete and utterscumbaggery.

Vandalism and theft from a grave in Devon.

On Fathers Day we took our grandchildren to lay flowers on their Daddy's grave where his ashes were interred 11 months ago. It's a lovely cemetery in a small Devon town, just a couple of miles from their home. The children are aged 13 and 8.

Upon arriving we were met with the scene below.

The slab over his grave had been removed. The flowers and childrens ornaments had been taken off, the slab stolen and the flowers etc were put back haphazardly on the bare ground.

And it was just left in this state.

I quickly discovered that a nearby grave had recently had a memorial stone set on top of it.

On closer examination it was clear the slab upon which the memorial was placed was the one that had been on our sons grave.

It belongs to us. It had been stolen and used on someone elses grave, (I've blurred out the details).

But who would have committed this crime, (well actually it's at least 2 crimes and possibly 3)?

This morning I visited the stonemason company who carved the stone and mounted it on the (stolen) slab.

They admitted they had taken it.

They said they believed they had the right to randomly raid other people's graves if the grave they were installing a memorial on didn't have a slab upon which to place it.

They actually said this. They claimed the parish council had told them it was acceptable.

The clerk at the Parish council has confirmed that she would NEVER allow anyone to interfere with graves at their cemetery. She, like us, is absolutely disgusted, enraged and upset that this has happened.

I spoke to a Director of the company involved today. They told me it wasn't classed as "nicking" because they would have returned it.

THEY CEMENTED A MEMORIAL TO IT ON THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK.

The Director has asked me to "work with him" to resolve the situation.

1. They interfered with a grave.

2. They stole a fundamental element of the structure of the grave.

3. They placed it on someone elses grave.

4. They attached a memorial to it.

5. They walked away leaving my Sons grave looking looking like THAT.

There is a Police incident number. I'm awaiting a response from Devon and Cornwall Police.

In the meantime it's a crime scene.

The company have said they'll try to separate the slab and the memorial in order to return our property. But it may not be possible.

That's not good enough.

What do you think.

[MrsRealityUndercover @Reality_Woman]

@JohnCleese Yes there's a video on here with the actual dad outside of the building where his daughter was being held being interviewed about it. The police threatened to arrest him the first time they saw him so he left the scene. He came back 20 minutes later and they arrested him.

[Tony Jackson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @raginweald]

@JohnCleese Not the first time and probably not the last.

Dodged a kid crossing a red light on a bike hit a utility pole dead straight in my @cybertruck The inertia of the impact was completely absorbed, felt not like a typical impact at all, industry leading crumple zones ftw.

[The Destiny Show @thedestinyshow]

If Bungie had invested more resources into Destiny, the game would be bigger.

If Bungie had prioritized overdelivery, more players would have returned.

If Bungie had preserved its campaigns instead of vaulting content, the story would be better.

If Bungie had supported PvP with more maps, Crucible would be thriving.

If Bungie leadership had prioritized the franchise’s long-term future, Destiny 3 would already be in development.

If Sony leadership had made smarter decisions, we wouldn’t be facing what is Destiny’s final live service chapter.

Destiny deserved more.

The fans deserved more.

The developers deserved more.

But I’m not leaving.

I’ll keep playing. I’ll keep fighting for this franchise. I’ll keep advocating for Destiny’s future.

I will stay loud. I will stay committed.

Guardians make their own fate.

Everyone’s favorite thing to say to me in an effort to “undermine” my work on here is that “I’m not a real farmer.”

I spend a lot of time every single day working my land. I’ve always been honest: it’s just me, no tractor, and 1-2 acres of land I’m working myself while leaving the other 5 acres wild for pollinators (my own grassland).

I’m pretty proud of all that I’ve done with this only being my SECOND YEAR EVER teaching myself how to farm.

I work the ground at my land and am repairing the soil. It was a neglected hay field before it became mine.

And I’m also adding raised beds, trellis arches, and I assembled my own greenhouse this past winter.

I grew my own lavender from seed in our very cold climate. I have perennial lupine all over now to hopefully host the Karner blue butterfly. I have tons of monarch butterflies already at my property from the milkweed and nectar sources I sowed for them.

And I am growing food in as many places as my two hands can dig.

I can only imagine where I’ll be 5-years from now, with probably 10x the yield of what I’m able to do today.

I don’t use any pesticides or herbicides. I use my rabbit fertilizer for gardening. I don’t till. I’m doing this the old fashioned, natural way that honors the land and my commitment to being a Monarch Waystation and Certified Wildlife Habitat.

So many different animals and pollinators call my farm home now. That was always my intention. From there I am building on what I’ve been able to do in a short amount of time.

Hopefully in the future at some point I can open my farm to the public. Right now I cannot from a safety point of view. There are unfortunately a small amount of people on here who wish me harm for exposing the green energy grift. That’s the price I’m paying to report on the information our legacy media would rather I keep quiet.

I know what I signed up for.

And I will end with this: we need more non-farmers from non-farming families to start growing food on a small-scale arrangement. I encourage anyone else to do what I am doing!

If someone tries to bully you for it, tell them to F off lol.

I might not be a 400-acre farmer today, but I am a small-scale farmer that’s doing right by the soil, the plants, the water, and the animals to feed my family, and eventually, small community. Give me a damn second!
