Fun fact for our international followers: If someone in Australia cuts down a tree on public land to improve the view from their house, the local government will install a sign to block that view again

That is so punk rock. Well done, Australia.

This was a kind of sweet dashboard coincidence.

my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military

in our defense this is oil

Tumblr is like our elderly dog and when she makes an especially scary cough we apparently think "oh god it's the big one"

One of my grandfathers was a dentist. The other was a fisherman.

I had a bonus grandfather who was a trucker.

What did your grandfathers do?

Ok, an unusually high number of people in the comments have relatives that probably have a Wikipedia article with their name.

I hope you don't mind if I share this, but this is a very good point!

#one worked on rail yards and the other worked on cars and also has a geology degree so he’s a huge rock nerd

as a lover of Women Fighting & Killing media it's so important to me when they actually let the women look like shit. you know what i mean. like im so bored when a woman is in what's supposed to be a brutal fight and her hair is just aesthetically tousled or something and her makeup is still pristine. fuck offfff. if she's beating the shit out of someone and fighting for her life she should be covered in blood n bile she should look like she got hit by a truck and the truck exploded

I read this as woman working in media at first and honestly everything else still should apply

I wanted to try making a quesadilla so I googled to check for advice on how to make sure it worked out well. Turns out someone on reddit asked the same question, and now I'm going to make and eat a baby.

No. No, I don't think this one needs tags.

An underrated horse fact is that if you have horse that is both A. Not stupid and B. Likes you, it will actively try to prevent you from falling to your doom when you fuck up as a rider. Like actually make an effort not to drop you like a cell phone. I think horses deserve more credit for that.

My mum's favourite horse was a total bitch who hated everyone and everything except for playing polocrosse (she was a polocrosse horse). When she was on the field she'd do everything to win, including keeping a stupid rider properly seated no matter how bad at staying on they were, but the instant she was off the field all bets were off. Her favourite tricks included:

breathing in deep when being saddled for anything that wasn't a polocrosse game, so that the saddle straps will be loose and the rider will fall on their arse. This is a favourite trick of bitch horses and most horse people will check for it so it tends to fail.

biting people. Her name was Nipper, because she liked to bite people.

Doing the breathing trick, waiting for you to correct her and tighten the saddle, and biting you when you were distracted by that

stepping on your foot when you were leading her or standing with her. This wasn't being clumsy. She would step on peoples' feet on purpose.

standing behind you with her head over your shoulder watching stuff, then deciding she wants to watch over your other shoulder. When a horse wants to do this, they just lift their head up over yours; easy. Nipper would lift her head up over yours, then dip her head down halfway through to hit you on the head with her jaw.

chewing the fuck out of everything

chasing dogs, other horses, and small children (not in a 'let's play together' way, she found their fear amusing)

enticing people to hand feed her and then biting the hand that feeds her

She was always very careful never to hurt anyone more than a bruise but boy did she love giving those bruises. If you were in real danger (such as being pressed between two horses and risking being trampled), she would use her own body to protect you. And then bite you. But she'd play these stupid games constantly and then as soon as she was on the field it was like 'me and my rider are best friends, we are a TEAM that will WIN THIS GAME' and was totally trustworthy until the chukka was over. (Between chukkas, she was not trustworthy. I'd keep her warm between chukkas and she'd resent me because she wanted to be out on the field playing with the other horses, not doing something silly and pointless like 'take a few minutes at a slower pace so your stupid horse heart doesn't explode'. Between chukkas was prime Step On Derin's Feet time.)

I do not think I trust horses

They gotta amuse themselves somehow

I should point out that Nipper hated us for fun. She liked us inasmuch as she was capable of that emotion and wanted to go to events and play polocrosse (if a horse does not want to play polocrosse, you will know it). She behaved like this not out of a specific personal hatred, but because it entertained her to cause problems. This horse exuded High School Mean Girl energy.

So I had a horse that was the absolute exact opposite of Nipper.

I was four when my parents bought him so of course I named the black gelding with a star- Black Beauty- ya know as any young child would.

He was a fucking Saint. Gentle giant kinda guy. But he would do the fucking breathing trick. I had him for almost 20 years and that bastard never stopped sucking in air when I put in the saddle. You’d have to take him for a walk and then tighten it right before getting on.

He would also demand to play the chase/ tag game sometimes before being caught. Which sometimes included a 1000lb horse chasing you around the paddock. Not in an aggressive way- he just likes to play sometimes. So to catch him chase him down while he ran and bucked and whinnied before turning and chasing me down. He never kicked at me or bit me. He was gentle with kids, loved pulling the socks off of little babies that were brought over to him. He liked cats and ignored dogs. Truly a saint.
