Congratulations! Good luck in your title year. It's an absolute trip, hah. :D

Tips for adults: Make the animal noises together.

Will miss ya, friend. I hope we get to hang out outside of Camp. <3

EXACTLY. There are places these tools can be helpful, clearly. But speaking as a cybersecurity professional specifically, we're seeing a definite rise in vulnerable code getting pushed out there because it was AI generated and then not really.. reviewed. Sure, it passes the unit tests, but still.

Exciting. I'll have to keep an eye out. :3

Hah! I'll have to keep an eye on your tack storage ideas, then. Best I've been able to work is a pelican case, but it still feels deeply disorganized and rattling around.

Psh. If it helps you find the headspace, or see the pretty pony inside, it's not trash. :D I mean, hell, up until about two years ago I was using cobbled together gear myself and just the feel goes a long way. ^^

I've got one like this that I've been using for years, and it has served me well! Granted, if you're retiring the hair one it may not be as useful, but... can't hurt to know. =P www.statelinetack.com/products/tou...

One inexpensive thing I always recommend to people when they're just getting started is to pick up a tail-bag, instead of storing. You have no idea how much time you save on detangling, and how much longer it'll last. Same with mane if you end up with one. ^^

I went to see a concert last night where both the performer and the majority of the crowd were trans in one fashion or another. It's nice to be surrounded by that awesome queer energy. <3 And if I haven't said it yet on this account: trans rights are human rights, and now is the time to step up!

Unhappy people will try to police your happiness. Some will even claim they’re doing it “for your own good.” Don’t listen. Keep on doing that thing that brings you joy. 🩷 #choosehappiness #gooutsideandplay #playoutdoors

@boopsocietyctx.org Q2 educational is just a few days away! You can attend in-person or watch any of the livestreams that we'll have going. I'm so excited Charlie Doll is going to be sharing its wealth of knowledge on this subject with us all! 😍

RSVP here!: www.tickettailor.com/events/boops...

Thank you! :D I'm incredibly proud of them, both on an aesthetic level and on the layers of symbolism. ^^

Thanks Tromper! <3

For anyone interested in helping contribute to the title year travel fund: my run pins are available! I'd be delighted to ship one along to you for a $20 contribution to the travel fund. Any leftover funds at the end will be contributed directly to the next titleholder's travel fund. DM me! <3

Had some excellent turnout for the Crucible Herd meetup today, including a couple new friends! We always love having new animals join us; you never forget your first time getting hooked up to a cart. <3

I'm heading out towards Kinkfest momentarily. Can't wait to see people out there! If you're attending and interested in learning pony play on either side of the reins, you have QUITE the set of ponies and handlers to learn from out there. Come seek us out!

Excited to share that I'll be attending Kinkfest in Portland! Can't wait to see some of the Rocky Mountain Pony Herd there, plus others I know. Come say hi! <3

Login | FetLife Welcome back, we've missed you!

It is my firm belief that in these, let's say trying times, those are the most important times for us to come out and show the world that we aren't going anywhere. FetLife event is here for RSVPing:

Hey there, friends!
The Crucible Herd is officially registered for the DC Pride Parade, being held Saturday, June 20th.
I would love to have as many of you join us as are available! We have several carts to bring along if we can get ponies on them, and others are welcome to bring theirs as well.

Absolutely, DM away!

It's amazing how much taking on a persona and presenting it through outward appearance can make a difference. <3 Claiming it for yourself is important. You've got this!

For those of you attending Camp Crucible, I'm looking forward to presenting a discussion about exploring identity and gender through pony play. I hope people are interested in attending, and I'd love to hear thoughts from people who won't be there, to help me sharpen and refine my ideas before!

Hey there, friends!

One question that has come up on multiple occasions is one from events that have primarily catered to puppies, who want to make ponies feel included. I have some thoughts on it, but I'd love to hear it from you: what could an event do to make ponies feel welcome to join in?

Had a great time visiting the absolute silliness of Medieval Times with some herd friends. The horses were just lovely!

And the ones actually in the show were, too.

Leather community event producers, titleholders, business owners, and leaders, now would be a great time to promote Boots on the Ground, the only organized group I'm aware of in our subculture informing and training us to resist and push back against rising fascism in our country.

Adam Marvels Over REAL Medieval Horse Armor! (at @metmuseum) YouTube video by Adam Savage’s Tested

One thing that has been a longtime goal for me is to put together some fantasy armor for Freyja. Horse armor over the ages is fascinating. I always take detailed pictures whenever I hit a museum. Adam Savage recently got up close with some! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjkU... youtu.be/-jLFI33bu8o?...

You, in fact, can be gifted one the next time I see you. <3
