PLEASE come back and say how you were injured by crocheting, before I start heading down a rabbit hole trying to figure it out!

Anyone who's ever crocheted can guess that it's carpal tunnel

Donkeys as farm guardians. Like farm dogs protecting a flock but...donkeys. Side quest, llamas as farm guardians.

I don't live on a farm and only have one dog.

Me, too. I cannot pull myself away from hate-watching little theocratic antivax tradwives on Instagram. I'm addicted.

I noticed an Instagram account kept popping up in my Instagram feed--"SophiaTheJew." She's a young Orthodox woman (married with a baby) who mostly posts about modest fashion and sometimes cooking. I started following her because her fashion choices are so pretty.

Thanks, will check it out. I think any way of life that is so different has always fascinated me. I had a friend who I met at a summer program and she was a Jehovah's witness and I remember going down a deep rabbit hole after hearing about her upbringing.

Oh yeah, same. I so relate to this. My imagination gets going too, about their lives.

Same! The genealogy rabbit hole! It sucks me in several times a year where I spend nights researching long dead ancestors.

I’ve found out shocking details.

I love it too. I found some sad stuff (my great grandma was abandoned as a baby on a cold winter night), some mildly scandalous stuff (my grandpa's dad was not his dad, his mom was a single mom) and some fun stuff (I am a descendant of saints, queens and kings!) It is an endless source of info.

People boarding luxury airlines and what their trip is like keeps coming up on my reels, then next thing you know I'm YouTubing luxury travel....

I love the kid who gets the 22 hat videos. Makes me tear up on some of them.

But I think I'm off to find me some cow hooves!

I sometimes look at "miriam_ezagui". I don't follow her but she's an orthodox jewish mom who documents her life on IG. I also occasionally check in on "therelatablejew" as well--she's a young, single orthodox jewish girl living in NYC. from both of these I then fell down the rabbit hole of orthodox wedding hair/make-up accounts because the dresses are so pretty and their celebrations are so lavish and fun to watch.

Please understand that these are social media influencers... They are about as representative of Orthodox Jewish people as a Brooke Reyboulds or Jen Hatmaker or Hilaria Baldwin is of a DCUM parent.
