This picture was taken in Sept. 2012. At the time, I was homeless in Brooklyn, dealing with an assault, and my mom had terminal cancer. Yet when I think about that time, it is these 30 seconds of kindness that I focus on. I'm pinning this as a reminder of how much of an impact kindness can have.

@jasonkingsleyobe.bsky.social got any good stories on how your equine friends got their names?

Image of an 18th-century thoroughbred racehorse.

Text reads: "Potoooooooo or Pot-8-os (foaled in 1773) was a famous 18th-century thoroughbred racehorse who defeated some of the greatest racehorses and later became an influential sire.

jacobtheloofah: no but the best part is how he got the name: his name was originally "potatoes," and his owner, willoughby bertie, told the stable lad who helped him to write the horse's name on a feed bin. the boy misheard it as, literally "pot-eight-o's" and wrote it with 8 o's. bertie found it so funny that he kept that as the horse's name.

agentotter: This is the most beautiful horse-related story I've ever heard."

@jasonkingsleyobe.bsky.social We're having to make up members for training in my new position. I may have had a little inspiration...

It's a kind of re-imagining of some old fairy tales that features Snow White's grandson getting turned into a dog and trying to save his kingdom with some help from a janitor, a waitress, and a half-wolf.

@jasonkingsleyobe.bsky.social I gotta ask: have you seen The 10th Kingdom miniseries? If so, what did you think?

What a handsome fella. Kind of him to give that chap on his back a ride.

It's not often we get Jason Kingsley talking crap, but this does get somewhat pissy.

Y'all are making me jealous. We're still getting into the 30s °C here.

It's pretty. Mom loved yellow roses, and her rose bush did sometimes have new blooms this time of year.

Rowan McGlaughlin @rowanmcglaughlin.bsky.social · Sep 20

Ha! Sounds like you can make a variety of goodies.

I like using tart apples for pies and crumbles. The contrast between tart and sweet is really good. Are your apples tart or sweet?

That has me thinking of a medieval wheelbarrow. I bet it's handy for hauling loads of feed or firewood around the farm.

Just been to the doctor and found out that the dose for the Metformin was not what it should be. Apparently, 500mg pills should be taken twice a day, not once a day. So for 10-11 months, my A1c hasn't budged much and I'm still pre-diabetic. The doc was wanting to say it was a waste of time and meds, but I pointed out that I lost 30lbs and I'm not diabetic. I might not be much better, but I'm not worse, and rather than wasting time, it may have bought me time to get into a position where I could afford the right dose. I'm now on 750mg extended release, which the doc said is where I should have been started at.

Sounds like he'd be a grandpa or great-grandpa, assuming he had some time with a lady before certain bits were removed.
