lean like a libra

trying to find balance in an impossibly unbalanced life.i do NOT, can NOT, and will NOT EVER condone, encourage, or support self harm or eating disorders. this page is only an outlet so my brain won't implode. this is a tumblelog off my main blog. i'm sorry, i can't follow you back.

as someone who was a vegan for five+ years,

the majority of vegans are fucking annoying. yall need to either shut your judgemental mouths or put a dick in it (since that’s the only meat you’ll eat).

I don’t want men who work professionally in the MtG scene to get fired. I don’t want male players to stop playing. I’m not asking to be babied or my hand to be held just… Let me tell you a story. I went to my very first GP this year, and I was brimming with excitement. I was running monoblack devotion during a time when it had long since been knocked from the meta, but I knew I was going to lose a lot and just wanted to go for the experience, and I ran monoblack for a personal- albeit silly- reason. But when I walked into the main hall and saw nothing but guys, it was… Daunting to say the least. I only saw a small handful of girls the entire day and went up against only one- and I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was just as lost and overwhelmed as me. We were nervous and scared, and talked about how we hadn’t won any of our games, and I think that was when I was most comfortable. That was one game. One game out of nine, and the other eight, I was made to feel like I didn’t belong. I tried to make small talk and I was shut down. I made a few misplays and I was belittled often times to the point that I wanted to cry. I told no one. I didn’t want anyone to know it was getting to me. But I felt it, and I felt it hard. I felt unwelcome, I felt outnumbered, and my first GP left me feeling cold. I just… I don’t want to be babied. I don’t want my hand to be held. I just want to feel like I’m a part of this community and that, guy or girl, I’m going to be respected! Hearing what I need to do as a woman to make it in this community by a guy… You don’t know that feeling of walking into a room full of thousands of people and feeling isolated. You. Don’t. Know.

this is exactly why I don't go to any of the events in my area or show up to tournaments. even attending pre-releases at midnight were uncomfortable and I eventually just started asking my brother to buy it for me. I never stayed to play, and that sucks. eventually just going into the shop felt tense and now I don't even buy new cards at all. sad really.

psa for anyone trying to help someone with self harm; stop fucking shaming them into quitting by using yourself as emotional leverage. it’s not about you, it’s about them.

Omg are pop tarts vegan?! Please say yes

Yes they are. The flavor I ate atleast. Nothing real or healthy lol but when craving artificial everything, it was yummy 💕💕

[leanlikealibra]

what flavour is that? every kind i’ve seen has beef/pork fat derived gelatin in them

spent time tonight thinking about what i’m going to replace all of my current hair, beauty, etc. products with as i try and make my daily life more vegan, and now i just wish i were dead. it’s literally so impossible in this world to go about life without doing some kind of harm and it makes me want to throw up, lie down forever, and just die. i feel so frustrated and helpless and sad. i don’t want to hurt anyone or anything or support the things that bring suffering, and as more truths reveal themselves, it only get more emotionally taxing on my soul.

what are some "indicators" that you use when buying cheap prospect horses? you saw things in Chaz in Loki and now you've helped them to become the extraordinary athletes they are today... and i'm just curious what to look for? it is literally my dream to do this.

Chaz was pretty clearly talented, so i give him more credit than me.  But some things I notice make a difference…

1. Personality- Loki and Charlie (and even Jack, my prior guy) all have incredibly colorful, in your face, personalities.  It shows on the ground and under saddle.  

2. Attitude- Both the boys have their quirks.  Charlie will try to buck me off on occasion and Loki gets a little playful from time to time.  I highly believe that this gives them that go-get-em lifestyle.  They both love their job and have fun with it.  If Chaz didn’t show some serious sass every now and then i don’t think he would be so competitive.  

3. Brains- A good brain is definitely #1. But it can be so hard to tell whether a horse has a good brain or not.  By brains I mean a willingness to learn. I took Loki on trial for a week and noticed improvement by the second day, so I knew he had a good brain. You can get by the spookiness or the quickness, but you can’t make a good brain. 

4. Honesty- Charlie carried my silly ass around when I was young and couldn’t find a distance for my life, and he had no problem with it.  When i saw the video of Loki for the first time, i saw that the rider had not been riding often, she was unbalanced, and not very accurate.  But again, he had no problem or hesitation to go around. We are all entitled to make a mistake every so often, but that doesn’t mean our horses should give up on us. 

5. Good bones- you don’t want a conformational mess, but you also can’t always be so picky.  I would watch out for horses with bad feet, or past soft-tissue injuries.  I like the thicker-boned horses, they tend to be less fragile.  I’m no conformational guru but when I see an unbalanced horse I know. Also, I prefer horses with an uphill build, but thats just me. 

Thats just real quick… unfortunately its so hard to tell sometimes, you should really do some research.  Compare and contrast traits of some of the top horses, look into bloodlines, etc.  I think the eye to find good prospects is acquired, & some of the top pros still don’t have it.

Had SUCH a good jump school today. The best I’ve had in a while. I really needed that confidence boost!

[iloveappy]

Jumping something that big would probably make me pee myself. 😳 Incredible riding
