Nothing gives a situation more chaotic energy like the presence of a horse somewhere with no reason why there would be a horse. Because getting a horse in there would require either absurd amounts of planning, or absurd disregard of anyoneâs health or safety, and the chaos is in the fact that you donât know. With a more unusual animal, say a kangaroo or an elephant, itâs obvious that you somehow arranged this with some sort of professional animal handler staff, and probably had to go through a bunch of paperwork to get it here.
But a horse? Itâs not implausible that you found someone who owns a horse and asked to borrow their horse. It is also not implausible that someone just straight-up fucking stole a horse. Or a horse broke out on its own and was wandering around and got lured here with apples and jazz music. It is the whimsy of the unknowable at play.
iâve said it before and iâll say it again: what we want is for these things to be run like a HOUSEHOLD⌠a home. A household still has a budget and an income and resources to manage; all the moving parts are the same but the focus is different.
a business will let every person in it die a terrible death if it makes the business profit. A household will spend itâs last dollar to keep the people in it safe and healthy.
A household will use money as a resource to add value to the lives of the people in the household. A business will use people as a resource to add monetary value to the business
We donât want a government run like a business, we want a country run like a household. Because we live here.

Itâs crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.
Itâs like. When I was told to âjust be yourselfâ as a kid I thought it was a passive thing. Like oh easy I just have to sit here and be myself. but the reason so many people think that âbeing yourselfâ is bullshit advice is because you actually have to make active choices to do this and it WILL make your life way more fun. You have to wear t-shirts of bands that were popular ten years ago because you like them. You have to do your hair in a way that you find cute or comfortable even if itâs âso ninetiesâ. If your friend says a food you enjoy is gross to them, you canât be afraid to admit you casually disagree. You have to do hobbies that youâre interested in even if youâre bad at them and you cant feel like you have to get good at something before you tell people itâs an activity you do. You have to read manga and comic books in public and get piercings your relatives think are unattractive. You donât have to tell people you dislike that you dislike them, but you donât have to give them your time and attention either. You have to rewatch that kids show youâre nostalgic for even if youâre in your 30s. You have to change your name if you hate it, even if only a few close friends can know. You have to get fun girly drinks at the bar. You have to order hot chocolate when you donât like coffee and black coffee when you donât like sweet things. I am still bad at practicing this but it is the only way to make it all tolerable.
First you have to realize that âyourselfâ is a construct built by the decisions you make. Then it becomes clear that being yourself is a deliberate and intentional practice, not a passive state of existence.
