i think there's horse sexism in the kentucky derby . field of twenty horses, right? plus a couple more runners-up that can swap in if somebody has to drop out . not a single filly in the lineup. which obviously doesn't mean i think that like ... the HORSES are sexist . but i imagine that in a field where most of the top trainers are men themselves, there's more of a focus on training the colts that come across their paths, and perhaps even more colts being selected to be trained towards these big races in the first place . a horse is a horse is a horse, they all go fast, but there's probably an unconscious bias from breeders, trainers, owners, etc that prevents the field from being more diversified

THE RACE TRACK (DEATH ON A PALE HORSE) c. 1895 by ALBERT PINKHAM RYDER

The pale horse, the skeletal and scythe-wielding figure of death, the snake lurking by the broken fence in the foreground, express RYDER'S own feelings about his acquaintance's fate just as much as they symbolize something more abstract or general.

The paint has been laid on more thinly than is usual for RYDER, and the green grass beyond the muddy racecourse, though darkened by the picture's deterioration, has hints of vibrancy and seems to reflect the light flooding down from under the ugly clouds.

The sudden reverse in the suicide's hopefulness is rendered in macabre imagery but there is something oddly balanced and unfrightening about the painting too, because this GRIM REAPER will circle endlessly around the oval of racetrack as if on a carousel.

RYDER worked on the painting, on and off, for several years. The end result feels gloomily resigned rather than fearful. The inevitability of death's coming round, again and again, is acknowledged here, even if the snake is telling us it may strike suddenly, and the gloom is even lightened somewhat by RYDER'S characteristic luminosity. He sold the painting to a close friend, a medical doctor

Synopsis: you go to the horse race track on a beautiful summer day. I wonder who you will meet?

Mob Bucky and reader

Warning: none fluff mostly

A/n: this story is for my dear friend Angie! @superdcchick Happy birthday! I hope you like it! All mistakes are my own!

The trumpets blare out over the loud speakers letting the people know the horse race was about to start. You walked over to the fence leaning over to see the horses better. You decided to wear a red sundress with your tan floppy hat. Your shoes was tan with your black sunglasses. You watched the quarter horses run passed you. You cheered them on hoping your horse number four wins. You hit the fence when you realized your horse came in 4th. "Darn it!" You started to move off the fence when you slipped. You felt strong arms wrap around you in a protective hold. You look up to see the most devilishly handsome man.

She blushed while looking up at him. "Thank you for saving me." He smiles "your welcome doll!" As he sets you down "are you hurt anywhere?" "No I'm fine thanks to you." As you stand next to him. He smiles "I'm glad a beautiful women like yourself wasn't hurt! Where are my manners my name is Bucky and you are?" As he takes your hand and kiss it. She giggles while blushing, and becomes nervous as she says. "Oh my um my name is y/n it's a pleasure to meet you Bucky! Thank you for saving me again.” “Your welcome y/n can I interest you in lunch?" She laughs “yes.” As she tucks a piece of her hair behind her ear.

He chuckles, shows her his arm and she takes it. He leads her to the third level of the building connected to the race track. Once they arrived at the third level the staff noticed who he was. They became nervous immediately. They sat him down immediately at the fancy table. She was curious why the staff was nervous around Bucky. They are seated and Bucky let's go of her hand to push in her chair for her. She accepts while blushing as Bucky pushes her chair in for her. "Thank you Bucky." "Your welcome y/n."

As he sits down opposite of her. "Order anything you want doll." She bites her lips "it all looks so expensive Bucky are you sure?" He takes her hand and gives it a squeeze. "Yes I'm sure, yes I can afford it. Yes I own my own business that's why." She was shocked that he answered all her unanswered questions. She nodded her head and looked down at the menu. He smiled and also checked the menu then folded it and sat it down on the table. When a waiter came back to get their orders. Bucky ordered for them what drink they wanted and his food. He asked y/n if she wanted the fish she nodded her head and ordered dish for her.

The waiter left and Bucky asked her "why were you on the fence earlier y/n?" "Oh because I wanted to get a better view of the race. I like to get up close and personal." He laughs "don't we all!? And let me guess your horse didn't win?" "Yes it came in 4th!" "Let me show you how to bet on the next race?" She was in shock "you would do that?" "Of course doll I want to help you." He pulls out the program and teaches her how to properly bet. "So let's go 2, and 10 for show and let's bet with 20 dollars." "Wait, that's too much money." "No it's not I want to use my money doll you don't need to worry about it. I want to spoil you." She pouts smiles. "Thank you Bucky you already are spoiling me." He leans over and kisses her hand. "I want to spoil you doll." He winks at her, while her heart was a flutter. She starts feeling things for this mystery person named Bucky.

The rest of the day Bucky kept her close to him. They watched the rest of the races together. Sometimes they would win, other times they lost money. They didn't care though they were enjoying each other's company. She was always worried when Bucky lost money. But each time Bucky would reassure her. He was alright with losing his money and wanted to spoil her. By the end of the day she wanted to spend more time with Bucky, and was happy that she meet Bucky today. But little did she know as she kissed him goodbye that her world was going to change from then on if she continued seeing Bucky.

My roommate showed me a callout post about a transfem and was like "Yeah I barely know who this is but it's kinda fucked up she said that." And I was like "Why do you care?" and he went "Because what she said was kinda fucked up." so??? "Cancelling" this person isn't going to fucking change that, like all of the comments were "omg why do we keep choosing the absolute worst pieces of trash to be our representation." Like that's not how that works and also like... Do you not understand how bigotry works? Telling some rando to kill herself because she made a comment in a stream is not going to fix society you fucking dunce. You ALREADY didn't watch her streams, y'all have no influence over each other why are you asking her to be banned from twitch.

If someone says something stupid but in good faith, their in real life close community should go "Hey, don't do that." and that's ALL that needs to fucking happen. If particular people are hurt, don't let the person interact with them anymore or work to repair shit between them. There ARE times when forms of violence are necessary to defend communities but sending a random trans woman death threats makes YOU the asshole in that situation, no matter what.
