“God I love this lesbian and her bird son.” The tweet by Comedian Danielle Radford got around 6,800 likes. Hobby farmer Taylor Blake and her emu Emmanuel were first known in TikTok through Knuckle Bump Farm’s account but recently went viral on the internet.
Over the week, the two adorable partners cracked up the web. From 2013, Blake started producing media content online. Initially she just simply showed her farm life and introduced some farm animals to the TikTok audience, until Emmanuel first, and slightly offensively, ran into the camera frame in early July.
Sometimes, camera hater Emmanuel still chose to peck the camera down to the ground, despite Black urging not to “do it.” Very quickly, “Emmanuel, don’t do it” became a popular catchphrase.
So did the proudly out lesbian farmer and her bird son. As Blake told Washington Post, she grew up near her grandparents’ farm, and moved to help with their Knuckle Bump Farm with her girlfriend.
