Season 5 is going to happen eventually, but until then we get to occupy ourselves with other things.  What have you been doing to keep busy in the meantime? Any specific pony activities? Or what outside of pony do you do for fun?

Hit them comments up!

"Don't look back, you're not going that way." - Marcia Wallace

Remember that stuff that has happened is now in the past, and no matter how much you want to go back and change it, you can't. The best thing to do is move on and accept it. Look towards a brighter future and don't dwell on things that already happened. It's fine to occasionally glace back, perhaps to remind yourself of the progress you've made, but never look long enough to go backwards instead. One of the reasons why I chose to photograph this quote on a road during foggy weather is to symbolise how even though you can't see the future/road ahead of you, it's important that you keep going, no matter how uncertain things may seem.
The past is in the past - keep it there and move on.

After seeing Rainbow Rocks yesterday I so badly wanted to draw Sunset Shimmer with the Mane six, eheh.
I had no idea what I was doing with this drawing to be honest. At first I was expecting it to be some kind of giant selfie, and I was even going to make it look like an actual selfie on a phone or something But I think this is nice as it is. Would make a nice print huh?
Maybe I can make a selfie drawing one day with these gals, haha

You may or may not know this, but I'm not all ponies and video games.  When it comes to fixing things, give me a roll of duct tape and I'll make anything work.  Did you know this stuff played a huge role in saving the astronauts during Apollo 13? Duct tape is amazing.

How do you improve duct tape? Add ponies to it.  Yes, we have our own branded version of the ultimate tape.  This fandom has reached a level of importance that warrants that.  Now plumbers, garage door repairmen, roofers, and everyone else can walz in and plaster houses and appliances with ponies for the sake of repair.  A win/win in my book.

Found over on Amazon.

Thanks to Ah Smaug for the heads up! 

It looks like that costume that has been floating around up there in Canada has found it's way on to a Canadian television station, with a quiz for two kids in tow.  If you are curious about how well they did, you can check it out over here.

(I wonder if we know who is in that costume?)

Thanks to Alexander for the heads up!

Tom Cotton, the Republican candidate for the Senate from Arkansas, has a habit of saying egregiously stupid and dishonest things, but his claim during a campaign debate that those with pre-existing conditions just loved being thrown into high-risk insurance pools where they were still routinely denied coverage before the Affordable Care Act was passed.

But in his second and final debate Tuesday night against Democratic incumbent Mark Pryor, he went further, claiming the high-risk insurance pools that many states ran before Obamacare’s passage were better for people with pre-existing conditions than the current exchanges.

“Many people were happy with their coverage under the high-risk pool, before it was eliminated,” Cotton said. “They should have been allowed to keep that choice.”

Pryor shot back, saying his personal experience proved otherwise. “I am a cancer survivor,” he said. “I have been in the high-risk pool. I have lived there. It is no place for any Arkansan to be. If we go back to the high-risk pool, it’s like throwing sick people to the wolves.”

Many of the high risk pools Cotton praised were known for their sky-high costs, exclusion of many applicants, and strict limits on what care is covered. In Arkansas, out of pocket costs for patients in such pools could be as high as $20,000 and those with pre-existing conditions had an average 6 month waiting period for care.

Americans who could not afford or qualify for the program and lacked an offer of employer-based coverage, were forced to turn to the individual health care market, where they were routinely denied coverage. Common disqualifications included diabetes, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, quadriplegia, Parkinson’s disease and AIDS/HIV or even relatively mild health issues like acne.

Yeah, if there’s one thing people with chronic disorders love, it’s not having access to medical care to treat their illnesses. It was like a utopia for them.

So the #gamergate fuckwads have taken to threatening universities with massacres for allowing women to give talks. If I didn’t already know they were pure scum, this would have informed me that their opinions need to be treated the same way I deal with nasty shit adhering to the bottom of my shoe.

I know quite a few of these shrieking shits think they are big-time heroes for managing to throw tantrums and threaten people for so long. They’re not. They’re the kind of people that every society has disavowed and discarded as it became more civilized. They have the same social value as contagious disease. They mistake small-minded spite for courage. They think that threats make them big, important men. They have to think that, because they’re shallow little personalities with nasty, small-minded ideas. They’re too terrified to fight fair in the court of public opinion, because deep down, they know they’re losers and will fail. So they have to send out death and rape threats, and rely on other cowards to give them cover.

Guess what? They’re still losers, and they will fail.

They managed to get this talk canceled only because their fellow cowards in the NRA have convinced Utah politicians that carrying guns around campus is what strong, independent people do, rather than the act of pathetic little assholes whose delusions of heroism allow them to ignore their innate cowardice.They don’t know what real courage is. They don’t know what everyday heroism is. They can’t know, because they’ve withdrawn into the fearful little bunkers of their minds, where they can pretend they’re important, rather than doing the hard and scary work of being out there in the world actually doing something important, without relying on the false security of a weapon to make them feel strong.

I’m ashamed to be sharing a planet with them.

They’re probably celebrating what they believe is a victory right now. That’s what people like them do: throw feces and howl in triumph when they hit something. Their fellow shit-throwers tell them they’ve accomplished something.

Meanwhile, the creative and innovative people keep creating and innovating, even if sometimes they have to dodge the shit, or pause to clean it up. The shit-flinging cowards who have to resort to death and rape threats to feel special may deceive a few folks into believing they’re important, but as time goes on, the stench gives them away, and they’ll find themselves pushed further and further away, walled off from the rest. The more shit they throw, the faster they make everyone else realize what disgusting little cowards they actually are.

Those of you who don’t have to hurl rape and death threats to make it sound like you’ve got a point, those of you who aren’t so terrified of women and minorities getting a seat at the table that you feel like you have to burn the house down, those of you who are tired of the stench and just want all of these violent little cowards to go fucking Galt already, you may feel helpless. You may be looking at the piles of shit and wondering how the fuck this is ever going to stop.

It stops when we keep rubbing noses in it. A lot of people – especially law enforcement and politicians, it seems – have just held their breath and stepped around the mess while other people quietly clean it up. Don’t let them. Enough of us writing to universities and legislatures and law enforcement, ensuring they have no choice but to smell the shit we’re dealing with, will eventually get through to them.

Don’t clean up these messes quietly with some misguided idea that we shouldn’t feed trolls or give them the time of day. Point to the piles they’re crapping out and complain about the smell. Show it to people who otherwise would’ve walked quietly around, saying “Can you believe this shit?” Make it impossible to avoid.

When you see people flinging shit, or making excuses for the cowards who fling shit, call them out. Pile on with the condemnation. Make people own their shit. Shame them for it. Demand better behavior of them.

Support the people like Anita Sarkeesian who get shit flung at them constantly. Watch their videos. Listen to their talks. Read their work. Donate to them, buy their work, speak up about how awesome they are.

And never, ever accept this shit as just the way things are. It’s bad, it’s disgusting, and it’s hard to clean up, but we don’t have to live with it forever.

We won’t.
