HEY THIS IS BAD

[glumshoe]

My grandfather grew up on a farm in Kansas during the Dust Bowl. He and his brother shared a horse named Patches, which they rode to school each day. Despite being poor as shit and not having quite enough to feed their animals, his family noticed that this horse looked great. His coat was unusually glossy and beautiful all of a sudden - he looked healthier than they did. 

The mystery was solved when my grandfather went into the chicken coop to collect eggs, and saw Patches lifting the window cover, pushing his muzzle underneath the hens, and eating the eggs right out of their nests.

Horses have been known to also eat meat.

http://thehorseaholic.com/the-forgotten-story-of-meat-eating-horses/

1) The BBC filmed horses eating fish on a beach of an English Island.

2) In Iceland pastured horses are provided, salted fish as a protein and mineral/salt supplement.

3) Horses have been known to consume raw meat and blood willingly in Arabia, New Zealand, and United States.

4) Lord Chamberlain of Bhutan confirmed that the 40 kings horses routinely received a special meal of Tiger fat and still feed their horses beef, and yak meat.

5) There was an American gelding in 1958 that routinely hunted and killed and even consumed small birds. He also repeatedly attacked humans. He was known as “Freight Train”.

In 1933, while en route to Paris via Cherbourg on the German luxury ocean liner the Europa, Dietrich created a stir when she enjoyed the open-air deck in a white pantsuit. Hearing of this, the head of the Paris police department warned that Dietrich would be arrested if she wore such clothing in Paris. Upon her arrival in the city, she stepped off the train wearing her most mannish tweed suit, complete with her hair slicked back under a beret and sunglasses fashioned after the traditional lesbian signifier, the monocle. Dietrich was not arrested; in fact, the chief of police apologized and sent her a sandalwood bracelet as a gift. Dietrich used her image—and her star power—to teach the Parisian police a lesson in freedom of choice. [x]

I’m covered with “Librarians from Everywhere” but as a former museums professional “Tourists who think we’re the British Museum” really speaks to me on a personal level.

“Katharine Hepburn liked to shock with her boyish looks, strident voice, breeding, and, when she met people for the first time, her affection for purposely creating a bad impression. Rigid and repressed, the twenty-four year old, freckled-faced Connecticut Yankee always lived with women, mingled with sewing-circle members, and made Garbo and Katharine Cornell her icons. She was swimming naked in director George Cukor’s pool when she first met Garbo and, in printed versions of the encounter, grabbed a towel, curtsied, and solemnly said, ‘Oh, Miss Garbo, how nice to meet you!’ Hepburn was seen about town with her agent the dashing, successful Leland Hayward, but Hayward’s third wife, Margaret Sullavan, called Kate ‘that dykey bitch.’”

A Non-Exhaustive List of the Most Iconic Eyes in Classic Literature

Valentine’s Day may be all about love, but it can also make you think about love gone wrong. In her latest piece for the Attic on Eighth, Milena Glicenstein thinks about the most iconic exes in literature — good and bad. 💔

[wizzard890]

I don’t know if this helps, thinking about what’s burning in Paris right now. the pieces are the thing, in a crucial way: cathedrals are the work of a time, of a community, and cathedrals still standing are the work of millions, in generations, over and over again, as history washes over them. but even so. there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it.
