sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.

@suspiciousmammal asked for some pictures of horses in cool tack and I thought I'd already posted these guys but I can't find the post anywhere, so I'm uploading 'em now. They're shitty pics but I took them with the intention of collecting references of the tack, so they serve that purpose well I'd say!

The only part I like about the Oktoberfest are the horses in their gorgeous tack :) Not pictured: All the big draft horses with the huge padded collar pieces are pulling wagons containing up to 20 metric tons of beer. They're usually four our six horses a wagon.

Researchers identify US counties with worst drinking water violations.

The states with the worst violations are West Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Oklahoma. I also think it's interesting that the Eastern side of Oklahoma - the side with the highest percentages of Native populations. 🤔 what's going on in Mississippi though?

more from my 2021 costume grad collection - details from the Tiffany Aching look. 🌱

This took a loot of art finishing/dyeing/hand-stitching (there’s dirt, Schmere, different types of grease & eeverything in there) & I used a lot of buttons inherited from my gran :)
