I’m not sure what I expected, but seeing people with those toy horses that are just a horse head on a stick so you can “ride” it doing actual horse show routines, including jumps of a height that actual horses would probably think twice about, was NOT it.
and dressage too! That canter pirouette was *chefs kiss*

i used to do this thing when people would angrily disagree with me in a forum thread where i would immediately pretend to launch a text-based rpg called TOWER OF THE WIZARD and provide them with settings and scenarios and prompt action inputs from them and for some reason they would start playing it every time

weird how Thanksgiving is an extremely secular and cross-cultural holiday, such that I don’t feel bad wishing happy Thanksgiving to basically anyone who is physically in the US right now– just got off a boat from China? welcome! you’re probably going to eat different food from me on Thanksgiving but you’re probably still going to get the day off and eat lots of food with your family or something! it’s the original American Immigrant Holiday and thus is inclusive to pretty much everyone
… EXCEPT Canadians. they have their own.

I actually used to hate it! Like, actually despise it! Yellow was too bright, too loud, discordant, unruly, and clashed with everything. Nothing like what I wanted in my life, nothing I wanted to be.
When I first moved away from home, everything I owned was black. Jet back. As black as I could get. Smooth, cool, sleek, discrete, calm, unassuming. Flexible, cohesive, agreeable black. Fashionable black.
I had a really, really bad time. Unrelated to the decor. It was my first year out of a toxic place I’d grown used to my whole life, my first year acknowledging a mental illness I’d believed to be normal, my first year fending for myself with very little money or sleep or companionship.
I’d grown up on instant white rice and unseasoned ground beef. One day I realized that everything I’d been raised on tasted like cardboard. While out on an assignment, I passed a tent with a woman selling spices, and bought myself some turmeric. I went home and tried making curry with it. It was so yellow.
Another time, my professor took us out to a modern art gallery. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but when we got there, the whole building had been painted bright sunshine yellow.
The artist’s theme was “happiness”.
What it is. How we make it. How to share it.
All bright, lovely yellow.
The house I grew up in was beige. The walls were white. The appliances were post 9/11 stainless steel. My job was to be quiet, compliant, presentable and agreeable.
Black goes with everything. Black is neutral. Black is quiet, reserved, elegant and mysterious.
Yellow is warm. Yellow does what it wants. Yellow tastes sweet and spicy and hot and cool, like a summer breeze, like sunflower petals, powdery like dust on a long dirt road and soothing like well-worn linen.
I still like the look of black. I like the look of most colors. But I like the way that Yellow makes me feel.
Do you understand?
Thank you to everyone in the notes sharing why they love yellow!
