OK GUYS LISTEN UP

Oh, I know that situation so well ^^ Yesterday morning I helped my neighbor with her barn duties and we were just skidding across the paddock because it was so wet and muddy. And it was freezing! And in addition to that, there was a hunt going on in the forests nearby, so the horses were completely freaked out. -_-

I might be updating Chapter 14 today. It’s not a very long chapter, so I’ve been able to get through it quicker than most. If I do, it would be later today as I have barn duties, and since it’s raining fucking rhinos here, all the horses are inside and I usually walk them individually so they can get some exercise. 

There are some new changes in this chapter, and I introduce some new OCs in the background that will play a bigger role in Arc 3 and 4. 

Ah, alright. I live way down in the south of Germany, close to the French border. We didn't get any real snow last year and I highly doubt we'll get any this year. 😫

Dafuq, it just started snowing here. Really big flakes. Our first snow of the season and I’m excstatic.

Women In History

I grew up believing that women had contributed nothing to the world until the 1960′s. So once I became a feminist I started collecting information on women in history, and here’s my collection so far, in no particular order. 

Lepa Svetozara Radić (1925–1943) was a partisan executed at the age of 17 for shooting at German soldiers during WW2. As her captors tied the noose around her neck, they offered her a way out of the gallows by revealing her comrades and leaders identities. She responded that she was not a traitor to her people and they would reveal themselves when they avenged her death. She was the youngest winner of the Order of the People’s Hero of Yugoslavia, awarded in 1951

23 year old Phyllis Latour Doyle was British spy who parachuted into occupied Normandy in 1944 on a reconnaissance mission in preparation for D-day. She relayed 135 secret messages before France was finally liberated. 

Catherine Leroy, War Photographer starting with the Vietnam war. She was taken a prisoner of war. When released she continued to be a war photographer until her death in 2006.

Lieutenant Pavlichenko was a Ukrainian sniper in WWII, with a total of 309 kills, including 36 enemy snipers. After being wounded, she toured the US to promote friendship between the two countries, and was called ‘fat’ by one of her interviewers, which she found rather amusing. 

Johanna Hannie “Jannetje” Schaft was born in Haarlem. She studied in Amsterdam had many Jewish friends. During WWII she aided many people who were hiding from the Germans and began working in resistance movements. She helped to assassinate two nazis. She was later captured and executed. Her last words were “I shoot better than you.”. 

Nancy wake was a resistance spy in WWII, and was so hated by the Germans that at one point she was their most wanted person with a price of 5 million francs on her head. During one of her missions, while parachuting into occupied France, her parachute became tangled in a tree. A french agent commented that he wished that all trees would bear such beautiful fruit, to which she replied “Don’t give me any of that French shit!”, and later that evening she killed a German sentry with her bare hands. 

After her husband was killed in WWII, Violette Szabo began working for the resistance. In her work, she helped to sabotage a railroad and passed along secret information. She was captured and executed at a concentration camp at age 23. 

Grace Hopper was a computer scientist who invented the first ever compiler. Her invention makes every single computer program you use possible. 

Mona Louise Parsons was a member of an informal resistance group in the Netherlands during WWII. After her resistance network was infiltrated, she was captured and was the first Canadian woman to be imprisoned by the Nazis. She was originally sentenced to death by firing squad, but the sentence was lowered to hard lard labor in a prison camp. She escaped. 

Simone Segouin was a Parisian rebel who killed an unknown number of Germans and captured 25 with the aid of her submachine gun. She was present at the liberation of Paris and was later awarded the ‘croix de guerre’. 

Mary Edwards Walker is the only woman to have ever won an American Medal of Honor. She earned it for her work as a surgeon during the Civil War. It was revoked in 1917, but she wore it until hear death two years later. It was restored posthumously. 

Italian neuroscientist won a Nobel Prize for her discovery of nerve growth factor. She died aged 103. 

EDIT

jinxedinks added: Her name was Rita Levi-Montalcini. She was jewish, and so from 1938 until the end of the fascist regime in Italy she was forbidden from working at university. She set up a makeshift lab in her bedroom and continued with her research throughout the war.

This is an ongoing project of mine, and I’ll update this as much as I can (It’s not all WWII stuff, I’ve got separate folders for separate achievements).

Absolutely in love with this!!!

Yesterday, I went to help my neighbor with her barn duties. She has owned her horse Winni for almost the entire 14 years of his life and he is seriously just the sweetest horse I’ve ever met. He’s helped me a lot with overcoming my fear of horse riding after my accident two years ago. Because of him, I’ve started riding again and I really love every second I can spend with my neighbor and her horse at the barn.  

Winni is the horse in the middle of the last picture. The little girl is my neighbors two year old daughter. She had a blast sitting in the hay rack and cuddling with Winnis stable mate Endor.
