why is there an upgrade button on gmail. why does twitter want me to scan my palm to get into my account. why is google a chatbot. why does the transit app make a transit app wrapped for me. why does youtube keep shoving its infinitely scrollable shortform content down my throat. why do my doctor and psychiatrist and therapist want to use an ai notetaker during our appointments. why do free trials want my credit card number. why are most scholarship websites just data brokers. how do i make capitalone stop sending me mail. why is my school making its own special chat gpt powered chatbot. why is every third video on instagram an undisclosed ad. why is nothing online real anymore. why is everything so FUCKING STUPID

Idiot Writer Guide to Horse Riding

First thing: horses are not bikes or cars. They are large, emotional animals with opinions. If they don’t trust the rider, everything gets harder.

Mounting is awkward. Even experienced riders don’t look graceful every time. Missing the stirrup happens. Especially under stress.

Riding is physical work. Thighs burn, hands cramp, lower back aches. Beginners feel it in minutes, not hours.

Horses spook. Sudden noises, shadows, smells—anything can set them off. A startled horse doesn’t politely wait for instructions.

Speed has limits. You cannot gallop forever. Horses overheat, tire, and need breaks or they risk injury.

Stopping is not instant. Horses need distance to slow down. Pulling hard just makes things worse.

Terrain matters a lot. Mud, rocks, steep hills, ice, forests, crowds—each changes how fast and safely you can ride.

Falling hurts. Even a short fall can knock the wind out, break bones, or leave a rider stunned and slow to get up.

Horses get injured too. Strained legs, thrown shoes, sore backs—an injured horse may refuse to move at all.

Bond beats skill. A calm horse with a trusting rider is safer than a powerful horse with someone it doesn’t know.

Fear travels both ways. If the rider panics, the horse feels it and reacts.

Long rides leave evidence. Chafing, stiffness, sore muscles, raw hands—nobody rides all day and looks fine.

Talking while riding is hard. Breath bounces, voices break, and shouting is common at faster speeds.

If the rider is unconscious or dead, the horse doesn’t magically keep going toward the destination.

My uncle is really into warhammer and would win every miniature painting competition he was in. I have not very steady hands and he saw me messing up my nail polish for prom. He sat with me and carefully painted my nails and that moment meant so much to me all these years later.

I like the black and white version, and that's all I've been aiming for in the process. But I tried to give the picture a little color.

Impeached pres was known for his drinking binges during which he'd supposedly "joke" about declaring martial law. And then he, uh. Briefly declared martial law. And this addition was born:
