@jnyrose ah, we love animals and our goal, at some point post-academia/technology, is to provide rehab to both humans AND animals. My wife is an OT and researcher in assistive technology and with my background in therapy/social work (and our common love of animals), this seems to be one of the better ways to "do the most good."

@mbfrezon @OkraMonk I love that section of Mass. Driving the Mohawk is pretty much my 4 seasons outing. Which reminds me, might have to run out this weekend!!

These particular divine bovines are next to my farm in Ireland. :)

@jnyrose ah, they're lovely.

We have 3:
Womble: purebred Irish Cob (nee Gypsy Vanner)
Magpie "Maggie": Irish Cob x Sport horse cross (sire is sport horse; dam is Womble)
Cleo: older sport horse dam who we took in as a rescue but is lovely.

We're adding two rescue donkeys this next week: Sansa and Emilia.

@emilymbender that's awesome! a good friend of my wife and I, Prof. Andy Way @ DCU (https://www.dcu.ie/computing/people/andy-way) is in the same space, I believe?

@mbfrezon @OkraMonk these two are exceptionally friendly but there’s a couple of other ones in the herd who aren’t afraid to get their noses booped.
@OkraMonk well, our neighbour has 11+ head of cattle (and new calves this year as well!) so, yeah, I've been known to say COWWWWWWSSS!

For those who are now following me (& those thinking about it 😂):
I am:
Mildly opinionated, a PhD candidate at University College Dublin researching Adversarial Agonism (stay tuned), a researcher at a large IT company in their CTO’s office, a member of the Responsible Computing Consortium (representing the same IT company), a former MA state social worker and staff therapist in a residential home, &…live in two countries (Ireland and America) with a Canadian wife who’s an incredible academic.
