Bribery in plain sight.

Abortion bans cause dead women to be intubated and forcibly kept alive against the family wishes. And the family pays for it.

K and J watch horses and riders across disciplines at the walk first and foremost to determine their skill and/or talent level. When they keep watching for the trot and canter, they see sincere potential in both.

K and J hold K and my Godkids to the exact same standard. The team is made or splintered at the walk. Here are Nileist and K working the walk...

The Supreme Court should no more accept a case on whether or not birthright citizenship is constitutional than they should hear a case on whether or not freedom of speech is constitutional. Even considering the question as up for debate should be considered an unconstitutional act.

i'm crying happy tears that he's alive, mixed with angry tears that this happened in the first place, and that so many people are so cruelly okay with any of this, okay with anything but him being home with his family and friends.

Pixie announces her intentions of friendship with Walter the wild boar even though Surfer and Hackleton are not wild about it.

The Kravitzes are still working through Surfer’s clinginess.

Pixie is a bit more tolerant of Surfer needing to be nearby. Pie takes off once Surfer’s near Pixie.

Then Pixie will hand Surfer off to Pie so she can have her solo time…

K: Will wonders never cease??? Nileist, you’re stepping over the jump! Were pigs flying this morning?

Surfer, filthy muddy and totally pleased to show it off! Nice buns!

Apparently there has been friction between Nileist and Pixie as Nileist also has a friendship with Walter the Wild Boar. Nileist enjoys friendships across species, as we see with the goats, and obviously his stink beetles.
