Horses can't tell how deep a puddle is by looking at it. If they haven't learned to trust the rider enough to know they won't steer them into danger, then nope. And some don't like getting their feet wet.

The Birds. I may have been 5 or 6. Too scared to stay in the room and too scared to leave. Two days later, a huge crow landed in the back yard when I was outside.

I finished reading Daggerheart on Monday night and miss it already and may have to reread ASAP. I had reread Swortheart in preparation, then had time for all the Paladin books before Daggerheart arrived...)

It was in the 70s that I got hooked on Spider-Man and the X-Men comics.

And then the feed stores run low or quit putting it on sale and it's harder/ more expensive to get it for treating horses (and, I expect, cattle).

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ...

I've loved X-Men comics since my grandma gave me a stack of old marvel floppies from the early 70s (or earlier?). I sadly no longer have those books, but am loving your current run. Still straight, though.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Browsing at the bookstore and waiting for a family to move away from the shelf I wanted to look at. So I recommend all of @tkingfisher.com books to them.

This is fascism. It’s time to release Brad Lander. What happened today mirrors the chilling ICE arrests of Ras Baraka and Senator Alex Padilla. It’s deeply troubling, because this is exactly what authoritarianism looks like.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️
chng.it
Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community
Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

If the Executive is breaking laws, not using warrants, throwing civilians and judges in jail cells without due process, the only way to fight that is for the Judicial to throw some law breaking Executives in jail cells. Are the 2 branches equal or not? Are they checks on each other’s power or not?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

By their definition, any notable accomplishment achieved by someone who was not a straight white male -- no matter how or when it happened -- counts as "DEI" and "bias against whites." It's racism, pure and simple. Stop pretending there's anything more complicated at work here. It's racism.

You literally cannot tell this incredibly cool part of American history without centering Native American identity. It is an powerful demonstration of how diversity provided tangible military advantages over an enemy committed to White supremacy. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...
As the U.S. entered World Wars I and II, the military needed an efficient means of protecting its radio, telephone, and telegraphic messages from enemy intelligence. During this time, many Native Americans joined the armed forces and had a unique skill that would prove instrumental to the war effort. Each Native American tribe had their own language and dialect that few outside the tribes understood, many of which were not written down.

Before their arrival in France during World War I, the Germans had broken every American code used, resulting in the deaths of many U.S. Soldiers. However, the Germans never broke the Native Americans’ “code,” and these Soldiers became affectionately known as Code Talkers.
