Proin's Generic Name (phenylpropanolamine)

Sorry, I've been away lately, Y'all. The patients have been good and interesting, and instead of blogging about it here, I've been talking about it with my local Farrier (and living my childhood horsegirl's dream of dating & attending church with a kind and handsome farrier) so I've been a little busy, I'm also on Instagram now under the same tag. Sooooo yeah

Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out. - Gilbert K. Chesterton

Here we go... BoyToy and I voted this morning, and he was the only one in his family to not vote Trump. I'm scared, thankfully, I have my IUD appointment next Monday, BoyToy is planning on a vasectomy for his 30th birthday (2 years from now). It's a very anxious night.

appalachia is devastated. towns i loved, towns i visited all the time, are gone. not damaged, GONE. they are leveled to the ground. there is nothing left but rubble and ruin. people are dead. appalachia is poor to begin with and relies on tourism for a lot of its income, and multiple of those tourist locations are just...gone.

my town is okay, but it's flooded and wrecked. trees are blocking all but one way out of our neighborhood. power lines are hanging limp in the roads. we've been without power for over 24 hours and will continue to be without power for likely another 24+. disabled people and poor people are GOING to die from this. gods save appalachia.

@lesbiansinthegarden's note on this makes me think about "horse girls," and men's simultaneous outright disdain for them alongside their fetishization of them. You have a 900 to 2000 lbs animal under your control. You have learned to toss bales of hay, haul bags, or bales of bedding. You do tons of manual labor to maintain a hobby, often requiring quite a bit of hidden strength. You have "tamed a beast." I think the root cause of their scorn may be this very issue, the fact that we are doing an activity deemed "feminine" or "girly" or "gay" and yet have turned around and become stronger, more capable, and less dependent upon men for their physical capabilities. It's threatening to them, as their small, limited ego, runs off of the fact that they are able to overpower and dominate women. When they come across a woman who is not prone to feeling threatened by something larger and stronger than her, that in turn, makes men perceive her more as a threat to their own social standing.

Why do males think they are special for opening jars or changing a tire? lol I literally saw some male say “Every woman is a feminist until she has to open a jar” i can do that easily myself and if not there are tricks!

It's not literally about jars and tires. It's simply a code for "I am stronger than you". Men think they are better because they are physically stronger, and see women as inept, clumsy, childlike and unable to do anything by themselves.

Add to that the fact that pretty much every object in the world is produced using men as the standard for ergonomy and usability, which does make day to day life harder for women, and they think it's funny to see us struggle.

people will really be bothered from you for being soft, and living life at ease. i’m sorry, i don’t run on chaos, cortisol, and victim mentality. i show up for myself. i put in the work. i’m kind because it keeps my spirit light, not for applause. you should try it, and you’ll feel less triggered from others living with calmness and appreciation.
