19th of Owltober! A Barred Owl was freed after caught in a plastic net while hunting fish in a garden pond. After pain meds, oxygen, and heat, he was much better, thanks to Congress of the Birds.

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

These horses are freakin awesome. I needed these horses today.

The Wedgewood family & their horses. Of course they chose horse-painter George Stubbs to paint them, as horses were more important than humans.
