Reposted by Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️History and Heritage Yorkshire @handhyorkshire.bsky.social · 12/10/2026🧵“Tatie or Tattie Picking Week” was a familiar part of rural life with women and children, helping harvest the crop prior to the frosts. The October school break gave children the chance to help with the harvest, earning a bit of extra money. It was cold, muddy, back-breaking work: 58810
Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️ @stuthefarmer.bsky.social · 12/10/2026And that, friends, is why I don’t especially care about other people’s religions. Their religion, or lack thereof, is an interesting fact about them. But a jackass is a jackass no matter what they profess. 040

Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️ @stuthefarmer.bsky.social · 12/10/2026More people should learn about the Cristero Wars in the early 20th century. At the start, it’s really easy to side with either the Cristeros or the Federales, depending on your personal views. But you read a little more and you realize that both sides were…terrible. 000

Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️ @stuthefarmer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026It’s partly the result of climate change. But it’s also because farmers can be a little bit chicken-shit about trying new things. We’re extremely good at finding reasons to not even try something different. 021
Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️ @stuthefarmer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026The corn is intended to be chopped for silage, but I’m convinced that in a very short time we will harvest corn for grain here. The standard wisdom was always that it’s too cold in central Alberta- but it was actually a coolish summer and fall and the corn has still done really well. 150

Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️ @stuthefarmer.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Alberta Separatists are not great people, but their most annoying trait is definitely the “We’re Not The Ones Being Divisive” thing. Just watch- I guarantee you that at Thanksgiving dinner this weekend, the Separatists won’t be the ones biting their lip to keep the peace. 060

Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️ @stuthefarmer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026My unsolicited opinion is that the Anglosphere is cooked. The cultural influence of the US is too strong. It’s religion is too perverted. The capitalism is too deep. Other parts of the world are somewhat insulated by language. Anglophones are screwed. 130

Stuart Somerville 🏴☠️ @stuthefarmer.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Something that I think Carney understand very well (and just about everyone else chooses to forget) is that his role is to protect the nation as an institution. The people and land and water and etc, etc are not really his problem. The whales serve no institutional purpose whatsoever. 030
