The phrases “mind horse” and “mind palace” suggest “mucking out my MIND STABLES” as a euphemism for skipping out on responsible adulthood to eat cake and read or something.
@eredien https://www.tor.com/2022/01/10/writing-horses-sketching-the-mind-horse/ but I've seen it more used as a drawing trope (draw a horse without reference, and most versions will be pretty off, unless you're like Claire Wendling or Terryl Whitlatch or like that)
@Leucrotta oh hey, thank you! As an sf reader and recovering horse person, I appreciate this post
@Leucrotta mind horse?
