A Comment Most Awesome.
This is a comment made by the amazing Mia (ephemere on DW if you’re interested) on my thread on steampunk postcoloniality. Just to say, she is one of my greatest inspirations for writing the stuff I do. I’m not going to link to the thread because I know some of you will just hop on over and witness the fail and I don’t really feel like distressing more people than necessary, but...

Dear Tumblr,

No. When you catch them yodeling, you’ll notice the horses are on the other side of the field looking innocent and nonchalant. That’s because the horses are ventriloquists making the cows yodel!
Darn horses!
