Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

I need information (not money) to help out a friend in Switzerland. [Edited to add: they are a Swiss citizen.]

I have a friend in Montreux (Vaud) in serious crisis. They are considering voluntary self admission to a psychiatric facility. But there are obstacles:

- They have had terrible experiences in facilities in the past.
- They are on disability payments and are terrified of getting stuck with a bill they can't pay that ruins their life.

Can anyone in Montreux area recommend an appropriate facility that is guaranteed to be free and decent quality?

Or can you recommend where to go to get information and support for someone in Vaud who is in crisis?

This is high stakes situation, I live in a different country I don't need "let me google that for you" or random speculation, I need *reliable* information from people who know what they're talking about.

If anyone can help, I would be deeply grateful.

It just turned midnight here so I guess it is #SolarPunkSunday and I'll plug my novella, The Blossoming of the Big Tree, about an old woman who has to organize the defense of her decentralized country when a colonizer invades to steal the technology that makes it a #solarpunk utopia. It's available on pre-order in all your favourite stores, and on my new small press site, where you can read a free sample. https://www.ododopress.com/novellas/the-blossoming-of-the-big-tree/
