For context, this is called desensitizing

Since horses are prey animals they are very cautious naturally and will “spook” (shy away or take off running) from something that looks strange and potentially dangerous.

By running around and acting bizarre, the horse gets used to unfamiliar movements and mannerisms. They’ll be able to sit and think “wow that’s fucking weird” when they see a human crawling up rather than “Jesus fuck it’s possessed run away”- which is good!

Weirdest day of that horses life

Turnabout Holiday Clarification

more men should get hugs i dont think we as a society hug men enough

reblog to give a man a hug

THE FUCK? IT WAS NEVER IRONIC I'M REALLY VERY MUCH IN NEED OF A HUG

Not a man anymore, still very much in favor of giving and receiving hugs

I'd like to shout out my good friend Chris (not on Tumblr) who, when we were like 13 and at an all boys school, seemed to single handedly introduce our entire year to the concept of hugging. I vividly remember being like, 'woah you are... touchy...' and everyone being kinda awkward about it at first but then by the end of the year bros were just hugging bros all the damn time. And I like to think all of us took that new found comfort with physical affection out into the world and spread it like a super wholesome plague. Chris, baby girl, bisexual icon. I salute your golden retriever war on toxic masculinity.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.

(Stares in bewildered Australian) And?

I swear to fucking god if I see another post about someone from the southern hemisphere saying shit like this. No one on Tumblr is capable of understanding when someone is talking about their own experience and be normal about it. I don't even really give a shit about the Christmas side of this just that climate change has gotten so bad that there is no longer ice in Scotland in December and you should be worried about that actually. Imagine if people came on here being like I don't give a shit about Australian wildfires because it doesn't effect me

Just saying, while I share the sentiment of being weirded out by increasingly warm winters, the idea of "snowy Christmas" is profoundly anglocentric, even within Europe.

The concept of a "white Christmas" is pretty rare to experience anywhere in Europe southern than Amsterdam (so 3/4ths of Europe, population-wise). Hell, even some of the nordic capitals (Copenhagen and Stockholm) only get white Christmas maybe once per decade or so. Sure, it can snow everywhere, but in December? It's rarely enough for the snow to actually settle.

So yeah, not really a very significant portion of Europe, really.

Oh my god you people can't read anything without being mad that it's not about you.

I mean, it was you who said it was about me, I'm just pointing out it wasn't really the case :)

(It's like if I posted "a significant portion of Europe used to get over 40°C only in August, but now we are getting there even in June")

(actually the percentage of Europe who used to get over 40 in summer is probably higher than the one that used to get white Christmas)

no, you took the most bad faith interpretation of a post imaginable in order to make it about you. "significant portion" is not a clear cut number, 10% can be significant if it is unusual. either way i can tell that youre clearly an absolute braingenius who has soooo much to add to this conversation anyway so go on i guess

piss poor reading comprehension. truly.

if those bloggers could read theyd be very upset by you saying they piss on the poor :(

A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year.

Reported Bigfoot Sightings

Can’t believe Bigfoot was looking at furry porn while reading Martha Stewart in an IHOP

He tips well so we leave him be

introducing my four year old niece to the concept of "moral dilemmas" by telling her that i'm a monster that eats children and that i know it's wrong but i'm so so so hungry and everything else tastes yucky. i've tried all the human food in the world and it all tastes so yucky i can't even eat it. i can only eat children and i'm so hungry

her resolution was that if i meet a kid that has the same name as their sibling, then i can eat one of them. their parents won't be sad, because they have another kid with the same name right there. speaks to an uninformed but fascinating worldview

Happy to report that “a new threat has emerged”. The latest development in the goat saga is that the goat is being eaten alive by birds. This has, according to experts on the news, never happened before.
