I’m an atheist, but i pray this happens I’m so sick of AI.

I feel attacked

Least unhinged thing I do: request that people I know harass the fuck outta me to do chores. I’ll regularly have a friend remind me to go a chore after a half hour of gaming and I’ll begrudgingly go do the chore so I can go back to gaming.

Most unhinged: turn on angry music and think of people I hate to get energized and wound up by rage. Sometimes I’ll scream too. I have a playlist called Grrr that’s just all of my angry music but I’ll often fixate on one song.

I’ve been isolating a bit when it gets overwhelming to avoid that

Tysm chicken. The derealization episode I’ve been going through is a lot more manageable today than it has been.

Oh heck, what a coincidence, he was carrying me through some Elden Ring bosses then

Honestly wish I could accept the feeling. I’ve only felt like this a few times and each time it has been absolutely terrifying. Hoping my work with my therapist tonight helps make the feeling less awful. She said that trying to get rid of the feeling isn’t going to be a thing I can do, so all I can do is remind myself that I am safe even when my perception of things is out of my control

Guess some finally out-pizza’d the Hut

Aliens learn to shitpost when they start going through what humanity left behind.

Man may be temporary, but shitposts are eternal

I’m sorry you haven’t found a good therapist. It took me ages to find one. I hope you can find a good one some day

Hey now, ivermectin has an apple flavored version that is apparently very tasty (according to my horse)

Thank you! I’m so glad people enjoy her!

Right? It’s been a rollercoaster this whole time. She has exceeded everyone’s expectations and it’s so gratifying to see.

It also still feels unreal that she’s 100% mine now. It really hasn’t hit me yet. I’m afraid I’ll wake up and this will have all been a dream or some shit.

I do not treat her like a slave. We are partners. She is eager to please once her excess energy is worked out. She legit enjoys training and gets very excited to work. It gives her something to stimulate her mind and is great exercise for her. She’s incredibly intelligent and needs things to do to keep from getting bored. Horses that get bored enough can start cribbing, which can easily become an addiction and ruin their teeth and jaws.

As for her tack, I am using the most comfortable tack that I have. I’ve ordered special stuff to cushion her back and distribute weight evenly. If she seems stiff or sore, I don’t ride. Her bit is also a hackamore, which doesn’t go into her mouth.

When riding, we are both listening and observing each other. It’s part of the partnership and bond we have. I never kick her and I don’t yank on the reins. She’s very responsive to the subtlest of touches under the saddle and can even follow verbal commands which makes leg pressure and the reins kinda unnecessary.

I’ve spent two years nursing her back to health. There has been so much of my money and time and blood and sweat and tears put into her well-being. I will 10000% never do anything that could be detrimental to her health. I had her vet and farrier give her thorough exams to determine if she was in riding shape. I got the go-ahead and started up training again.

Riding builds top line muscles really well, which is important because atrophy of those muscles can cause pain, and a horse may lose the ability to carry themselves properly.

Tl;Dr: I care for this horse more than I care for myself. She isn’t a slave. She’s my partner and friend and everything I do for and with her are only things that will help her thrive.

It really was! I was a lil worried that she’d throw me and I wouldn’t be able to call for help, but after I worked with her on the ground, she was ready to go. She 100% remembers her past training, but hasn’t been ridden in like 6 years, so she’s not as broke as she once was. She can still be difficult at times because she’s grown lazy.

It’s obvious whoever trained her put in a crazy amount of work into her. I was told she was in training to be an endurance racer at some point. I don’t have any goals that high for her. I just wanna take her on trail rides eventually lol.

Lisa is another cat. She’s not a sibling or a baby or anything. She’s just the cat Broccoli Cheddar has decided to go after all the time lol. Broccoli Cheddar tried to play with his mama, but she was not having it because she’s pregnant with another litter and is due any day now

I voted for him and I’ve never felt so betrayed by a politician I was actually kinda cool with being in a position of power.
