A cock horse is, of course, an old fashioned name for a hobby horse. And a gay cock horse is a phrase you'll never see in a magazine ad today. #vintageAd#gay#horse
Horse Whisperer - the guy they bring in when there are behavioral issues with a horse. Was fascinating to watch him provide a calmness and then, they went for a ride. Captured at Sussex Fairgrounds, New Jersey.
#AnimalRescue > A #horse ended up in a ditch in #Roden, #Netherlands, on Friday.
The fire departement arrived on the scene, but also slid into the ditch.
Both the horse and rider as well as the #firefighters were uninjured during this accident(s).
I read this today on the fediverse: "I don’t think [static site generators] work for regular people - too much command line for grandma to use."
This is a surprisingly common sentiment among many people, on which I'd like to weigh in:
Conflating static site generation with "terminal interface" is technically wrong and conceptually counterproductive. I think part of why there isn't so much experimentation and diversity in the SSG space is because so many people are stuck with a mindset of the past (Tom-Preston Werner's «Blogging Like a Hacker»¹ was back in 2008!) instead of cultivating an awareness and imagination for what already is (and what else could be) there instead.
I don't know how far accessibility of SSGs can be pushed for general audiences in the end and where we will meet hard boundaries, but I feel that there is still so much untapped potential and space to try things, and not so many people taking notice or trying to go there. Be courageous and explore!
Correct usage of "grandma" is for instance "My grandma wrote a python script to detect reactionary jokes on the fediverse, and today she found a particularly bad one". The term the author was looking for is "non-technical audience". You're welcome, author!
Today is National Solitude Day. No matter how social we are, a little peace and solitude is always beneficial to help us recharge. I was reminded of this image I made in the Tetons last fall, when this lone horse seemed perfectly content to be off by himself for a while.

Two horses are feeding on hay from a metal hay rack in a muddy enclosure, with a rustic stone wall in the foreground under a clear blue sky. In the background, a green pasture is visible, hinting at a peaceful rural setting.
