March 19:

On this date in 1962, Bob Dylan released his self-titled debut album.

And,

On the 19th of March, 2013, Duane Allman, or at least the people with the rights, laid upon us Skydog, his career-spanning anthology.

The Sunday Review: Wild Horses of Skydog: Blue Zeus and Families

my favorite movie

Horse sanctuary local to me has 4 mustangs, Nelson here is the longest resident. They've had this horse for almost 20 years (he came to the sanctuary in 2005) and they have trouble catching him in his "large" pasture (which is not bigger than the pasture Rogue used to be in 24/7...)

The implication that it's because he's still traumatized from a roundup 20 fucking years ago is insane. Rogue was an ACTUALLY mistreated horse. Severely neglected by humans. And it took me literally no effort and just a pocket full of treats to gain her trust and get her to come to me. She would sometimes be annoying to catch, but uh. So would Rain. A domestic paint. Sometimes they're just assholes and don't want to be caught. Rain did not have roundup "trauma", wtf.

I used to really respect this sanctuary but they've gone full "mustangs are magical wild animals and not just horses, and it's terrible to train them bc it makes them unhappy, and they're all traumatized and broken and fences make them sad like in Spirit didn't you see Spirit" and I just...

I literally asked them why Nelson is hard to catch when they've had him for so long and they're like "we're using horse trainers to help him learn to be caught"

Damn guess I'm better at horsemanship than these sanctuary people bc I did not need a trainer to teach my Wild(tm) Mustang(tm) to put her head in a halter 90% of the time. And I've had her for 3 years, not 18 🫠 Guess I'm a magical horse whisperer. Or, more likely, mustangs are just horses and are not the untouchable unicorns weirdos treat them like.

Within The Night

A pastor who leaves his son A son who can’t afford food A world of dividing love Hunger has now ran rampant Within the night I have walked And I have witnessed the crumbling walls I have seen the self destruction The corpse of the son, laying beside the altar like a doll, decorated in robe and rosary Righteous words that sound like a summoning chant, all to cover up what they’ve done Suicide…

I love convoluted nicknames that don't make sense but have a clear process of how it came to be

The Triplets Being Adorable!

Pt. 18

Huey telling his brother he needs to communicate his needs better (he cares <3)

DING!

I find it concerning how open Dewey is to bringing nothing to a sword fight

Guys this scene is so cute!!!!

“Ha-ha, you salty skydog! I’m Dewey, I fear not the likes of youwey.”

-Huey Duck as Dewey Duck

This is the real Dewey btw he’s got different color sleeves

“I have a colorful personality, not unlike my hat! *giggle* Watch how I DEWEY it! Dewdewdew-”

-Louie Duck as Dewey Duck

“I’m sweet and sensitive and full of secrets! And, uh, something about Mt. Peligroso.”

-Webby Vanderquack as Dewey Duck

Dewey realizing his siblings do pay attention to him

I like to think, at this point, Webby and Louie have not yet perfected their impressions. There’s a chance Louie can only impersonate Huey, but I find that unlikely considering Webby, who we’ve seen impersonate Dewey perfectly, can’t do that here. I will continue to die on the hill that Louie can do perfect impressions of his brothers.

I'm permanently embarrassed by being caught up in the "BLM roundups are so cruel and mustangs are traumatized by it, they should be free forever" propaganda bullshit, but then I see how many people are still falling for it and I feel a little better. These highly funded "rescues" like Skydog Sanctuary are extremely adept at manipulating people and they know what they're doing.

Sad animal stories already tug at peoples' heartstrings, so why NOT make shit up about horses caring about "family" and how all BLM workers love abusing animals or whatever. When you already have people in your hands, they believe whatever you tell them.

The only thing that broke me out of it all was talking to people who actually have and train mustangs. I started wavering after the nonstop Holocaust comparisons, but it's amazing what real perspective can do.

But so many people would rather believe that Spirit was a documentary and all horses have an internal Matt Damon voiceover talking about missing home and their mom. It's easier than the truth which is "this is a complicated problem that requires complicated solutions". Treating mustangs as living breathing creatures worthy of respect and dignity, while recognizing that they're a harmful invasive species that needs to be controlled, are not mutually exclusive.

My head is still spinning from that anon the other day. Came right up to someone whose grandparents were refugees after WW2 and said "horse roundups and holding pens are just like Nazi prison camps". Unfuckingbelievable.

Christmas Transmutation

I searched for what felt like a century For the joy of the season It was like as if I lived in a cliff above my town Never wanting to come down when the houses began to decorate When the first snow fell, I decided to give the month a chance Christmas transmutation, oh what cheer it brings No more wanting to kick over their snowman No more wanting to tear down the lights No more wanting to…
