Unironically yes exactly I’m not a lesbian but have a lot of similar hobbies so have made many friends in the “I Know a Girl” universe and my god can they get shit done

Lesbians have always been a part of the Guy economy. Straight women, too - my grandma was amongst them, she could sew you a shirt or reupholster your car seats.

My woodworking Guy is @trustedreveler.bsky.social can confirm.

😀

😂 This is my sister's "I know a guy" circle, and she's not even a lesbian. She's a goat farmer with a lot of queer goat farmer friends, and among the lot of them, they know someone who can and will help with just about anything.

that sounds like heaven tbh

Lesbian networks are even tighter than the guy networks. If you ask a group of lesbians who can install a dishwasher, you will have to draw straws to see who gets to do it.

A few years back, one of the bigger fires was getting close to the farm. My sister's "I know a guy" circle showed up in a mix of farm trucks and Subarus before she even realized she needed to get out. They evacuated all 40 of her goats plus guardian dog and semi-feral barn cat within a couple hours.

I love that about farming! I raise unusual, and uncommon ducks. There's a lot of lgbtq+ farmers! And my ducks failed at raising ducklings this year sadly. But! I know a guy 'bout an hour north who had some. He's just a dude, only txts cause he had a stroke and it affects his speech. Good dude.

There are, I was very pleasantly surprised! I'm a city person, and before I met her circle of friends, I (completely wrongly) assumed otherwise.

I raise sheep and goats., I'm dead ass roasted by you. I'm lmao

Gay bee-keepers seem to be a thing. I've met four apiarists (not via one another) and they were all gay.

- community-focused - communication through dancing - attracted to bright colors - ruled by queens I mean we have a lot in common with bees

This is my local SRA chapter too

Are you hustling for honey🍯? I know I would 😊 🫶🍯

I've never even met 1 apiarist in my life and you're out here bumping into them regularly. I should be jealous but you know what; good for you.

oh you gotta get a Bee Guy

You guys are pathetic. No wonder smithers made me the head Bee Guy

I dont know where Bill Hayden lives but i live in megarich area (I’m local and predate tech boom) and the 1% get massive tax break if they have their property declared “agricultural reserve.” That means they sell something that meets requirement for “agriculture” including honey so they hire apiasts

My silly dyslexic ass really had to reread this and question what you were talking about, because I thought I must have missed out on a LOT of what Bill HADER has been doing since Barry.

I had to look him up. Nah, that's not me.

I mean, I knew it wasn't me without looking him up, but I didn't know who it was.

What about these Bill Haydens?

They're Bill Haydons, with an O. (I'm the one on the left)

Thanks, Bill Hayden! I’m glad I’m not the only one who didn’t know who these people were. They definitely aren’t you. 😂

Ah. Good thing or I’d have to call Jim Prideaux.

Apiarist, sorry

Here’s what they do - sell $10k worth of agricultural product and get massive property tax break. Create shell company in a relative’s name and show they bought $1Ok worth of honey and bingo, reduce property tax to near nothing. You know those pumpkin farms you see in autumn? Tax break

Horse farm = agricultural reserve Give horse riding lessons = tax break Guy I knew with horse farm sold “horse shampoo” = tax break Famous singer planted trees on property and sold firewood - cost of planting trees was less than property tax saving That’s why rich stay rich and our taxes go up

One was German, one was from Manitoba, one was Scottish and I can't remember where the other one was from.

This is interesting, because my son and I *are* apiarists and we don’t know any gay ones. Aside from us and one British woman, they’re all crusty old Yankees. Good to know, especially if you need a steer or a goT on short notice (don’t ask), but definitely not lesbians. Must be a locality dependent.

As I said elsewhere, one was Scottish, one was German, one was Canadian and the other I don't remember, so I don't think it's a geographic thing. More likely I just don't have a representative sample.

That matches my sample of 2 apiarists.

Bees don't discriminate.

I was going to say it was one of their best properties... but all their properties are excellent.

She will want to read Allison Bechdel's new graphic book (part memoir/part fiction) in which the lead character has a pygmy goat rescue center. www.harpercollins.com/products/spe...

correction, pygmy goat sanctuary

Laughs in Lesbian plumber/electrical "guy"

We queers all must be present because the bisexual & pansexuals must be there to ensure the lesbians are drinking enough beverages to stay hydrated (for example)
