We made it through the wilderness, somehow we made through! What a wild, snowy day yesterday was but all of our orders made it safely from Western, MA to Boston and then to homes, tables, and bellies!

Grateful for our awesome partners at Boston Collective Delivery for braving the storm on their bikes!

25. strip a woman down, the thread goes forever. show the awesome of our young women,

and the thread falls. back up to top of first page some of our men can see what our young women are actually about.... and a better way to "use" them.

[sheshe2]

29. Ain't that the truth!

Thanks, sea. To a brighter future with young women such as these!

Off to work, wish me luck getting home, more snow is on it's way!

the beauty. it is all in how we choose to see our world.

[sheshe2]

57. Oh I love the beauty of it

and the black and white photos I take, before and after.

The reality of shoveling it is hard though. I am not as young in body as I once was, yet my spirit will be forever young.

Thanks for keeping my OP alive while I was gone, sea!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

34. you're not kidding.

Grrrrrrr.

Well at least the himarrhoids aren't visiting to fling their feces. Or fap, which is what attracts them to the other threads.

Isn't there a song about that? "All he wants to do is fap"?

[seabeyond]

36. i dunno. maybe someone else will know. i make up my own words to songs.

drives boys batty, but they love i do and am so good at it. they get to roll their eyes.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. so you're saying you're corny--and proud?

My bestiest friend makes me roll my eyes frequently. We text a lot...I have to ask Holy Mary, Joseph, the saints and the baby jesus's mercy. On me. For having to read her! Lolol!!



That song is actually, "All she wants to do is dance".......I just changed the lyrics so it fits the brotherhood of public fapping.

[seabeyond]

39. corny? so fuckin cool in my abilities, lol. dance. dance.... gotcha. thanks. nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

40. lolol!!!

Mad Skillz!!


I love teasing my friend when she corns out!!!! We have contests.....how excruciating can she get vs. how horrifically I can descibe my suffering. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! !!!!!!!

[seabeyond]

41. that is cute blanche.

and to have a friend that that to pal around with is awesome.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

42. 'tis!!

She's a great friend in many ways. (She gets my "stuff" and I get a lot of hers....we are good support to each other. Though I admit, I totally don't get her and her wife's taste in movies!!! )

[seabeyond]

[seabeyond]

46. I wish I'd seen THIS OP yesterday - would have been a much better valentine's day.

you know. and i think that is what it was all about yesterday. then this thread, and the photos in HOF.... seeing them up against that stick ass out thread for a fuck, is just so awesomely duality.

lets see

all the things these young women are doing as opposed to the total obsession/use as a thing. hm.....

[sheshe2]

54. It's Valentines Weekend, redqueen!

So enjoy the heart and soul of women like these. The future made bright!

As members of a worker-owned collective our experience of work is empowering, inspiring and nourishing. Instead of taking orders and following directions we might not understand or agree with, we get to make decisions about what we think will work best. We can be ourselves in our workplace without fear of being punished or fired. We are deeply invested in the business and we know that what we put into it, we will get out of it. Thanks for supporting us! Please support your other local cooperatives!

48. Now this is the way to do it!

I have mad respect for these women.

[seabeyond]

49. right there with you cinna... nt

[cinnabonbon]

50. It's so great to see women take control of their destiny like these are doing

makes me proud and hopeful.

And the fact that they're going green is fantastic. We desperately need more people thinking like them.

[sheshe2]

52. I googled and found this article in Boston Magazine.

Valley Green Feast Brings The Farmer’s Market To Your Door
The Western Massachusetts co-op wants to deliver to the Boston area.

Ever wonder what it would be like to have a farmer’s market in your front yard? Readily available, local, fresh produce waiting for you as soon as your open your door? Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Valley Green Feast (VGF) thinks so and they’re committed to bridging the divide between the farm and your front door.

VGF, a Western Massachusetts based co-operative, delivers locally grown, organic products straight to your home. “We live in a great area full of agriculture but not everyone has access to it,” says Rebekah Hanlon, one of the four owners of Valley Green Feast. “Some people don’t have cars so they can’t get to farmers’ markets, and people are really busy and sometimes don’t have time to go to the grocery store and walk back with all those bags. That’s the gap we’re trying to fill.”

That’s why VGF is trying to expand their co-operative into the Boston area starting January 8th. But with less than a month and more than $10,000 still left to go on their Indiegogo campaign, they need the community’s help. “We do a lot of work to help connect our farmers and our producers and stand behind the work they’re doing,” Hanlon says. “And we want to get the community involved in that because it’s really all about community.”

I am Massachusetts born and raised. I'm about a half hour out of Boston. I love what these young women are doing!

Thanks cinnabonbon! To our bright future!

[cinnabonbon]

53. They had an indiegogo and I missed the deadline? Drat!

I would have definitely given them a little. Supporting business ideas like these are often rewarding.

You're so lucky that you live that close to them, Sheshe! I have a few farms around here that goes as green as they can, and I try to support them instead of going to the supermarkets. I wish I had a group like these ladies around. Maybe I can mention the idea to my friends, hmm....

[sheshe2]

55. That's a great idea, cinnabonbon!

Spread the word! The local farms are going to part of our future, better food, fresh and locally grown. It helps the community.

I love that it is delivered to your door. I am outside their delvery zone, for now that is.

[Tarheel_Dem]

51. Excellent! K&R!

[sheshe2]

58. Thank you Tarheel!

I just love their spirit and pride. They are what is right about our future.

The next generation has come up to bat, and I'll be damned if we don't see them hit it way out of the park!

[Tarheel_Dem]

60. Couldn't agree more. I just love your posts, they're so uplifting and positive.
