@benroyce@mastodon.social We had a discussion, spouse and I, about getting goats to keep a hillside of Himalayan blackberries at bay at our old place. My argument against was that they would quickly develop their own set of priorities that had nothing to do with eating thorny vines on a steep incline, and if we didn't devote a significant amount of mental and physical energy to the project, we'd be known as People Whose Goats Had Outsmarted Them.

My thesis wasn't carrying much weight, until spouse noticed a number of "found your damn goat in my yard again" posts in the small-town Facebook group. So, I guess thanks for that one, Meta.

@benroyce@mastodon.social I do love goats, but—like ravens and nuclear fusion—I respect their abilities too much to try to bend them to my will.

@uc@mastodon.scot I mean, a fair bit of religion is pretty much based on wanting to speak with the manager.

In the interest of accuracy, Lucy did the song first, and then the ceremony.

This was the song:

At her show outside Portland this evening, Lucy Dacus invited several (fourteen?) couples onstage to get married. She performed the ceremony, and then played them through their first dance.

#introductions
I tend to go by E. My name has more letters than that, but there's no need for that level of formality. Some interests include #motorcycling #kayaking #photography #birds #crows #corvids. I live on the #OregonCoast with my spouse, child, four #blackcats, and one moderately silly dog. I work, remotely, in a very stable, boring corner of the #SoftwareDevelopment universe. I used to #write but I stopped.
