Question: what do y’all use for tack trunks?

[allmostcreative-blog]

I use this. I love it because it’s a lot bigger than most tack trucks designed for equestrians, is completely sealed against water and dust, has a handle and wheels for easy transport, and is incredibly inexpensive comparatively. I’ve got my helmet, riding boots, chaps, helmet, grooming supplies, two saddle pads, and assorted horse boots in there, and is not even half full.

YESSS

Someone in my barn has something very similar to this and I’ve been hunting for it… I’m glad other people are using them too - they look like a much better alternative to the significantly more expensive “actual” tack trunks.  

[allmostcreative-blog]

Out of thirty stalls at my barn, all but three boarders use something like this. I really don't understand people that knowingly pay twice as much for half the space/features. Also, if you want to make it fancy, one of Dover's tack truck covers (the bandage top? I think?) fit perfectly.

*some vegan rando who has never owned a cat before:* don’t put your cats outside! Having an outdoor cat is animal cruelty! Cats are not meant to live outside, why don’t dogs live outside?? If your cat lives outdoors then you are a horrible cat owner!!

*me*: okay…. Anyways… u ever thought about actually caring for an outdoor cat? Try again

[catsindoors]

You guys seeing this?

[zooophagous]

Hello @sonik-the-hedgehog, I’m a member of the community on Tumblr known as “vulture culture.” While some members of our little flock are vegan, largely we aren’t, and it makes sense that we aren’t, because you see, ‘Vulture Culture” is dedicated to the preservation, cleaning and crafting with animal remains. Most notably, bones, pelts, claws and teeth.

Do you know what happens to a lot of free roaming feral or outdoor cats? They come to us. They come to us as corpses.

It’s a pretty common theme in the vulture culture community, to the point where some of our informative posts have such features as “How to find out if the dead cat you found has an owner” or “how long you should wait before giving up and processing the corpse to collect the skull” or the legalities of buying, selling, or crafting with the skulls or pelts of salvaged dead cats. A good portion of us vultures have cat skulls on our shelves. And the vast, overwhelming majority of those cat skulls has been picked up by the road.

Not from a cat that’s died peacefully of old age, but from a cat that crossed the road at the wrong time, or a cat that came up on the wrong side of a larger predator, or a cat that died of exposure to the elements, or a cat that succumbed to a lingering disease.

You see, when you allow your cat to live like a wild animal, you’re also opening the door for your cat to DIE like a wild animal, and wild animals don’t have warm safe beds or bandages or pain killers. Wild animals struggle for days or even weeks on a bloody stump of an injured limb. Wild animals hide under porches and die alone where nobody finds them until they begin to smell. Even more wild animals simply disappear, and are absorbed by the landscape until there’s not a single little shred of evidence they ever even existed.

I’ve found such a cat myself! It’s dessicated skin and bleached bones sat, rather tellingly, right outside of an old fox den. Now, it’s impossible to say if the foxes killed the cat, or only scavenged it already dead, or if the cat was merely injured and tired and took shelter in the fox den of its own accord. But it was also impossible to tell whose cat it was, if it had a family or anyone that loved it. Even if it were male or female. It’s identity was erased and anyone who ever had any hope of finding it again will never, ever see it again. It’s sleeping in the fox den to this very day.

Maybe when it’s rotted down a bit more I’ll go look for it again. I’ll pick it up in a little bag and take it home and clean it up with peroxide and hot water. When it’s clean maybe I’ll give it a nickname like “Sam” or “Macavity” and I’ll put it on my shelf. I’ll take care of the kitty for years to come, like its former owner couldn’t. I’ll keep it clean and warm and safe on a shelf, like it wasn’t kept while it lived. And kitty will be an indoor kitty far too late for it to ever matter.

Your outdoor cats come to us eventually, and we’ll gladly take care of them forever.

No (Or: Anakin Skywalker in Ten Steps)

1. When he’s eight years old he decides that freedom means never having to say “Yes Master” or any variation thereof again.

2. Two days later, he starts counting. In one day, he says it 13 times. Kitster says he said it 16 times, and Anakin wonders if that’s worse, or just more of the same.

3. When the Jedi comes, Anakin calls him “sir.” He hates that word, too, but he’s learned the hard way that it’s safer. The Jedi doesn’t correct him.

4. Even so, for a few days after leaving Tatooine he almost believes he’s free. He’s off planet (and that’s where all the freed people go, isn’t it?), and in a starship, and he’s going to be a Jedi. He’s heard a lot of stories about the Jedi, but none of them say they’re slaves.

5. He was wrong, though. He has to call all the Jedi “Master,” and there are rules to follow, and they cut his hair and dress him and tell him where to go and how to behave and what to do. Master Obi-Wan tries to explain the difference, but he can’t see it, so he doesn’t understand.

He chafes, but never too much. He’s always known just how far he can push, and no further.

6. By the time he’s nineteen years old, and in love, he’s said “Yes Master” 22,753 times.

7. Padmé is upset that they have to hide their wedding, that it has to be private and unshareable. She pretends that it doesn’t bother her so much, and in return he pretends that it does bother him, too.

It doesn’t, though. On Tatooine, all slave marriages are like this. He’s always known he would get married this way.

8. He’s going to be a father, and he’s joyful and giddy and terrified. (He’s now said “Yes Master” 35,802 times.)

There’s a corner of his mind that repeats the old Tatooine law like a mantra. Children follow the mother. His child will be free.

9. There’s something to be said, he thinks, for choosing one’s own master. Or at least having the illusion of choice. He’s now said “Yes Master” 35,998 times, and as he kneels before Palpatine, he could almost believe this is what he’s always wanted.

10. Luke is twenty-four years old, whole, and beautiful, and he’s never said “Yes Master” in his life. Vader doesn’t know this empirically, of course, but he knows it all the same. The slave can always recognize the free man.

It’s not until Luke lifts away his mask and looks at him with desert blue eyes that Anakin realizes he’s said “No” for the very first time.

This is exactly what I was talking about, this whole “cursed role” thing surrounding The Joker, all of it stemming from Heath’s death. I see posts like this every day in the Heath tag and there’s a few things I’d like to get off my chest.

Heath writing the infamous Joker journal is a prime example of method acting, nothing more, nothing less. In an interview not too long before Heath’s death, he told Empire magazine “I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices — it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh.” It wasn’t about him being consumed by the role, it was more about him establishing his own interpretation of an already established and iconic character. Heath isn’t the only actor to utilize method acting in order to submerse himself into a role. No one questioned Daniel Day-Lewis’s mental stability after living as Abraham Lincoln for the entire duration of filming or insisting on only eating meat he killed himself for Last of the Mohicans.

People like to use what Jack Nicholson said to a paparazzi as a credible source. He said it in passing and probably facetiously. If he was really serious, would he have laughed about it? And just as an aside, why the hell would Heath go to Nicholson for advice about the role anyway? He never once stated that Nicholson was an inspiration for the role in any way. If anything, he’d want to distance himself from an already established portrayal of The Joker.

Everybody forgets Heath went on to do The Imaginarium of Doctor Panassus after The Dark Knight. Filming for The Dark Knight had been completed months before his death and he was already on to other roles and bigger opportunities. He wasn’t stuck on the character, he had moved on.

The Joker role didn’t drive Heath crazy. It seems reductive to say what happened to Heath happened because of the character. What happened was an unfortunate accident, not the result of being tormented by this so called “insanity” after portraying The Joker. The medications Heath was taking were for conditions that had been around long before he was The Joker and for illnesses after the role. It sucks that he is plagued with “suicide” over his name just because it’s more fitting to the media. The media is pushing the idea of this cursed role as a selling point. This is obviously a publicity stunt released to get everyone worked up about how “dark” Leto’s Joker is going to be. It’s tasteless how people are comparing this to Heath’s death when they are not related. I can’t believe people continue to perpetuate this myth over the real explanation. The treatment towards Leto’s portrayal would not be happening without the Heath “cautionary tale” bullshit preceding it.

Jared Leto is not being haunted by this role, he’s just being an asshole.

Signal boost for any of my followers who need art programs!

The cs2 programs date back only a few years, and still have much of the functionality of today’s more modern ones. The differences between most of the versions are little more than slight modifications or additions of minor features, and UI changes. Go for it guys!!

Also, in case the page is down, here are the download links + serials.

me: *deletes fucking everything off my phone*

phone: your storage is almost full

When you delete things off of a mobile device (like a phone or digital camera), the file goes to your phone’s recycle bin (just like on a desktop computer or laptop), typically an invisible folder named .trashes or .trash. There, it continues to take up the same amount of memory storage as it did before you ‘deleted’ it. To empty your mobile device’s recycling bin, plug your phone into your desktop or laptop via USB as a memory device, right click on your desktop/laptop’s recycling bin/trash, and tell it to empty your recycling bin/empty trash. Your computer will empty all .trash/.trashes folders, including the one on your phone, actually deleting the files permanently this time, freeing up your phone/camera’s memory space. Reblog to save a life.

(I know this works on MAC with my Andriod, it’s not too far a stretch to do the same on Windows and/or with other phones as well. In fact, it should be easier to do on Windows since Windows Explorer is more conducive to finding hidden folders.)
