Today is Equal Pay Day, a day later than last year. It is the day to which women must work to earn the same as men did working to Dec 31 last year. Women earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn. Down from 83 cents a year ago, and 84 cents the year prior.

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.
