The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa. If you were to look at this, you would die instantly.
The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across.
Oh, and regarding the Medusa thing, this picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation. The Elephant’s Foot is almost as if it is a living creature.
Friendly reminder that this blob of core material was so hot and dense, it melted/burned through three floors of the building before coming to rest in the lowest basement.
And there’s now a unique species of black mold that feeds off the gamma radiation it produces.
Is no one else seriously freaked out by that mold? No? Just me, then?
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhy was someone shooting it with a kalashnikov
I can sleep again knowing that The Elephant’s foot is weak to Kalashnikovs
I love that mold because humans made a mess we have no idea how to clean up and barely five years later we discover an entirely new kind of fungus that’s just… eating it. Radiation levels are going down much faster than any of our models could predict, this stuff hasn’t been found anyplace else in the world…

Okay. So I’ve gotten a few questions about overflexion and I figured I’d do another one of these because I can explain things better with visuals.
This is how I retrain bridlelame (chronically overflexed) horses. You can take it or leave it, it really doesn’t matter to me whether you agree with this solution or not. I learned this technique from a dressage master that I trust and respect, and then I went out and researched it and as it turns out almost all the old masters I looked up used some version of this method, so if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me.
Also, I haven’t met a sound horse it didn’t work on. It’s best if I spend some time educating them on the mouthwork in hand before I try it from on their back.
Awesome time to bring this back. When I got Burni in August, she was rein-lame and liked to curl behind the contact, holding a lot of tension in her head/neck and lower back. We are finally at the point now in December where curling behind the bit is no longer an issue, and while there is still very much work to be done, I am super pleased to have fixed that particular issue. This is the method I used (and have used with a number of other horses but I’m feeling so please about Burni’s progress right now that it’s on my mind) so I feel like this is worth sharing again😊😊
Having the horse’s neck and back checked out and adjusted as needed by a skilled specialist is also very helpful.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
