Kick-ass mares.

Katie. 31. She/her

i remember being so confused years ago when i'd start talking about my mare and someone would be like 'oh lord they've got you on a mare?? you must love a challenge!!' meanwhile I could climb on Sunny from behind and ride her bareback with no halter. whenever a cow gave birth in the pasture she midwifed. she would stay with the cow through labor and clean the calf. twice a cow abandoned its calf after hard births and Sunny brought the calves up to the house for us to rescue. and i'd be talking about THAT horse and people would be like "you couldn't pay me to work with a mare." i was like yeah you don't deserve her anyway i'm glad she doesn't have to work with you!

Food for thought

[esoanem]

Yeah, this sort of stuff serves several purposes, including:

Confuse the masses as to what the actual law is

Get people to obey in advance

Demoralise the opposition

Signal intention to supporters

^^ I was thinking, like, "surely we all remember this from last time," but then I thought about it again, and realized that there are people who voted this year, who wouldn't even have been in their teens during the previous Trump rodeo.

So yeah, if you weren't following it last time, there will be a lot of Executive Orders that get walked back, struck down, or, once subjected to even mildly rigorous legal interpretation, turn out to have little or no effect.

When you see that Trump has signed an EO about something that seems drastic and scary, take a breath and wait a few hours, then see what the experts are saying about it.

[saywhat-politics]

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Trump removed bird safety regulations in his first term and now bird flu is killing so many laying hens that eggs are $5 a carton

Trump removed food safety standards his first term and now we have recalls every few weeks

Trump cut the subsidies for the solar farms under construction so now electricity costs more

Trump disbanded the pandemic response team and we now we have bird flu and tuberculosis outbreaks

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[rederiswrites]

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

[lizardlicks]

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Is Somebody Doing Something?!

Yes. Let me break it down for you.

[rederiswrites]

Reblogging because this is an excellent article that both tells you about some of what's being done and breaks it down in a way that will help you understand and think about future action. Please read!

I don’t think the main goal is mass deportation. I’m at work rn and will elaborate.

[cozycryptidcorner]

Currently there are huge detainment camp being built in Texas for ICE. Slavery is legal in the case of prisoners. “How will we have field workers if they’re all in detainment camps?” Girl they will still be field workers, but under the thumb of for-profit prisons owners. Will elaborate further w/ but do you see what I’m saying??

[cozycryptidcorner]

Once more: if slavery is legal in the case of prisoners according to the constitution, if Texas (who has the largest amount of profit prisons) and Mississippi both have plans on building large scale detainment camps for undocumented immigrants to hold them indefinitely as per one of Trump’s executive orders, and if there is a large labor vacuum as undocumented immigrants are arrested and in hiding, what do you think is about to happen?

Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

The World War II-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

Funny about that...

Look at the tiny baby 😍

Also, the hay shed is the best thing ever. Highly recommend.

[decemberwinter]

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

[voltaspistol]

It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.

As for the update on my current ponies-

I got scout back from her lease. I’ve been working on getting her sound again for light riding. She’s doing great, she seems to be a lot more comfortable now.

Finch is going to turn 5 in April, he was started just over a year ago but hasn’t been ridden a ton this year so still pretty green. He’s gained a ton of confidence though and I think he will be easy. Come spring I plan to get him back in work. I might even try to event him 👀 (he is my GRP baby, registered name Mr. Moonpie, he’s by Milky Way.

And my newest pony! This one I’m super excited about, my first foal! He is a purebred Connemara by coud'poker tartifume and his dam is by TBS Declan pondi. He’s currently 9 months old, I bought him back in October. Of course, like most horses, he has tried to die on me (in the most mysterious way possible) and spent a week in the hospital at new years, he’s been home for almost three weeks now and doing great though and expected to make a full recovery (he somehow injured his lung??? But not his ribs??? They thought he had bacterial pneumonia at first, but all signs point to injury instead even though there was no mark… but there was swelling in the area we could see after he was shaved)

But anyway, his registered name is brambleridge prosper, and his barn name is Riptide.
