Thanks to flypaw, I has a blue dragon! Yay!

So last night I became that lady who walks out to the barn at at one in the morning in a bathrobe to check on a horse who's perfectly fine, but took his nap off schedule four hours previous.

It's an overabundance of caution, but if I catch a colic before it gets bad, I'm okay with that.

I don't know if this makes me more or less crazy than the other horse people I know.

ETA: Also, fuck you very much, new Google privacy policies. I've had the same Smartpak/USEF ad following me around the internet for the past six hours, while I logged in and out of four different aliases. If they tell you they're not tracking your IP address, they're filthy liars.

arthurmerlin has written a magic reveal Merlin/Arthur fic that send a powerful message. It's all fine for us to talk and write about same-sex relationships, but what can we do to promote the global acceptance of the LGBT community? Please read the fic, then
sign the petition to encourage BBC and the cast of Merlin to do an It Gets Better video in support of The Trevor Project and the prevention of LGBT youth suicide.

Buy Nothing Day takes the next step. #OCCUPYXMAS is here!

If you can't join in on November 25th and 26th, then at least stay home and buy nothing. Spend time with your family. Go hiking. Read a fic. Write a fic. Walk your dog. Pet your cat. Groom your horse. Call a friend.

Just don't buy anything. If you don't like the system, you have to stop feeding it.

Dude, OMG! Once Upon a Time!

Okay, only seen one episode so far, and boo for the heteronormativity, but yay! for the awesome (and hot!) female lead.

Someone will write a slashy Merlin crossover with this one day, and then I will be a happy camper.

... must I see it in all its bloody glory on the online front page of every major paper? Can't you give me a "graphic content" warning or something first? Am I being too sensitive? Did we all decide when I wasn't looking that bloody, gory death will now be 'in your face' without consent, so we can pretend like we're suffering as badly as the people who actually have to live with it on a regular basis? It's okay to set off people's PTSD triggers now?

Have I just not been paying attention to the news lately? When did it get like this? Do I even have the right to speak up about it?
