Not all horses will eat it, and I'd definitely be careful with the dosage. But you also only use it certain times of the year (in my area it's like maybe 4 months and that's it)

I fed Alula a garlic based fly repellent since she's not a picky eater, and I noticed fewer flies bothering her than the other horses. There is some validity to it, but definitely most effective if everyone is on it!

Just a friendly reminder, that the right wing men are currently fantasizing about hanging female politicians they don't agree with.

This is why Trump's America is dangerous.

So cool :) I got to see the grand canyon once, when I was 16. It was so mind-blowing. The bison is incredible, I didn't even know they could be white!

My horse once targeted a ground wasp nest. Chaos ensued. We worked a lot harder on stimulus control after that lol

I'm convinced the only reason it still exists is because of betting.

That shit goes, racing is immediately over. There's no point otherwise.

Absolutely! I am also neurodivergent, and how clothes feel is extremely important to me or I get very stressed. I've always had sensory issues with clothes and women's clothes are especially awful for some reason. The fabric and cut are never right.

Me shopping in the women's section: I hate my body, I hate fashion, nothing fits me, too expensive, crippling despair

Me shopping in the men's section: everything fits me, I am incredibly hot, I can afford everything, gender euphoria

If you aren't talking about the attack on trans people right now, you need to open your eyes and start caring.

For those of us who are queer and have trans people in our lives we love, we are angry and horrified and scared.

New profile picture! I got my septum re-pierced today 😜 unfortunately the first time I got it done years ago, they messed it up...I had to wait for it to heal over and get it redone. It was much easier this time around!

Don't let the anxiety and fear of the current state of the world stop you from creating and dreaming and loving. The world needs your art, your kindness, your work, your love, more than ever.

Geez. And I thought Musk was pro family - what about all the parents and kids that receive government aid? This is so strange and disturbing.

If the government doesn't see trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer people as valid then we don't have to acknowledge that government as valid either. After all, their existence is just a choice and we're not obligated to affirm their mental delusions, right?

Friendly reminder that trans people are only around 1% of the population.

Trans people aren't a threat to you. But billionaires sure are πŸ–€

I haven't read that one yet! I've read and written a lot about the conservative perspective (I grew up right wing Evangelica) but there are still certain things that blow my mind. I get it, but I also don't get it, you know?

I'm really trying to genuinely understand, for the purpose of empathy, how there are conservatives who are against abortion and vaccines but who will pinch (abort) foals and vaccinate their show horse.

Humans - and animals - are so brave and kind and capable of extraordinary things.

I spend my time encouraging people to train animals with science-based methods that support their consent and autonomy, and I wish everyone could experience this beauty and connection and joy.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.
