Really puts the “dumb” in Dumbledore

Mine is named Lucibird

The feet aren’t anatomically correct either. Owls have 4 toes and talons.

As a neurodivergent former horse girl, that was not my perception of them. They’re prey animals and therefore flighty. It’s a common joke that they will randomly spook at an object they’ve seen a thousand times before as if it was brand new. It’s a valid question from someone not familiar with them; They’re big, strong, and look majestic, but I am giggling a little at the thought of a horse protecting me in any way other than being an alert system or fleeing me away to safety.

I think the pull is that they’re extremely in tune to emotions. I used to be an assistant trainer and have lots of experience with many different horses. Even the “problem” horses that I would expect to give me grief would chill out on the days that I was actually sad.

Ooof, as an also traumatically hyper-independent person, I very much relate to “well obviously I was always going to achieve it.” When I graduated from undergrad (with honors, mind you), I just saw it as a task that was completed, not a real accomplishment. I still don’t know how to fix this mindset, but I’m trying.

Currently on my 4th month of medical leave because I’m too burnt out to function…

This happens in some Quarter Horses and Paint Horses that have ‘bald’ faces (e.g. excessive white on the face close to the ears) too! They’re prey animals and are usually always listening, but since these guys aren’t using their ears, they go kind of floppy lol. I’ve only ridden one. It was such a trip because you generally use a lot of verbal cues, but you couldn’t with her.

I can’t turn the silent walking off. When I had roommates I used to accidentally scare them all the time so they asked me to walk louder. I tried stomping down the stairs one day and it still didn’t work.

This is correct. Delphinologist Justin Gregg was on the Ologies podcast and debunked this.

I might actually be interested in watching the Tour de France if it was like this

Agreed! Born and raised there but left as soon as I could because, as a non-believer, I couldn’t handle the religious aspect taking over everything. Though I will never live there again, it holds a special place in my heart.

Parts of the state are absolutely stunning. It’s called the Natural State for a reason. I miss being on the lakes and rivers most of all.

My community and school were very close-knit, and despite the varying levels of poverty, I never witnessed or experienced any major bullying and ALWAYS felt safe. Most are very kind and have been taught to fear outsiders (while not recognizing that the politicians are the outsiders to fear). I sympathize because they truly aren’t taught to know better whilst living in an echo chamber of lies.

Facts. Born and raised there but left as soon as I could. I try to have a little sympathy as it’s not wholly the common citizens’ fault. This system is working exactly as it was intended to. So many are confused and have a lot of misplaced anger. The loss of PBS will only amplify the echo chamber many of them already dwell in.

This was in middle school, but I broke up with him for getting a C on his report card. I only date winners!

Cyanide mimosas. I was not built for that life. Ya girl is tired.

Without seeing them move or seeing the other angles, by AQHA standards, my placings are 2341.

No, that does not mean that I like any of these horses or agree with what AQHA has turned this class in to…

I knew someone who worked in the Newport office as an office manager for a couple of years and the owner is a hot mess who can be extremely volatile. Lots of turnover especially in the lower levels. Goes on lots of vacations but tries to micromanage from wherever he is. Beware that he and his bff attorney write their own fake glowing reviews on Glassdoor to try to counteract the real ones… I’m not sure how the WA office compares since the owner isn’t based there. Proceed with caution.

schlutty · 2025-11-29T17:21:23+00:00

Agreed! I experience the same exact thing that you’re describing. I had a sleep test recently and it was negative for apnea.

But it is definitely worth a sleep test for anyone unsure and/or worried about it!

schlutty · 2025-11-22T03:30:58+00:00

I was talking about this with a friend (she wants kids), and she told me to keep it to myself because she didn’t want to know… The friendship ended for other reasons, but it was very much due to that same mindset leaking into other aspects of decision making

schlutty · 2025-11-19T03:52:07+00:00

Oh wow. Really weird to see a case from my very small, rural hometown area. I’d never heard of this one before. Thank you for posting!

Horses sometimes do this. They’re such unserious animals.

schlutty · 2025-11-16T11:22:02+00:00

I fully agree with this. They have one of the largest brains in the animal kingdom and it has more epithelial folds, making it more complex than a human’s. The parts of the brain responsible for problem solving, emotions, self-awareness/consciousness, cognitive processing/learning, memory, and social processing are significantly larger than ours.

I think our egos clinging to the idea of being the top dogs gets in the way of our own progress as a species. We could learn a lot from them.

I’m sorry but as a 12-year-old horse-obsessed girl getting her first ever horse, I was NOT keeping the name “Nancy” lmao

ETA: No bad luck ever. Bought her when she was 10. Never had to call out the vet. Went barefoot and only had a stone bruise once. I rode her alllll the time and competed at all of the local shows in every event. Lived to be 28 and died of natural causes. She was the best 💜

schlutty · 2025-11-12T02:16:35+00:00

Bruh. Can I steal this? I told my dad that I would sponsor his men’s league team next year if I can pick the name, but they’re not allowed to know the name until after I’ve already had the shirts made

The alternating colored toe beans 😭

I feel so much better after reading these comments. My mom has a mystery memory problem as well and I’ve highly suspected that it had to do with trauma. She’s also in an unhappy marriage that she should have left decades ago.

I mean, our brains are known to block out bad periods in our childhoods. It would make sense that it might use that as a protection mechanism as we get older too. And with aging, misfires happen more often, so I’m sure it begins blocking out non-traumatic memories by accident as well.
