The New York Times on Instagram: "“I tried soccer, which I hated. I tried track, and there was just mean people. I tried tennis, same thing, mean people. With horses, there still are mean people, but I don’t care. Because I have my horse right next to me.” — Zoie Brogdon, 12 | At equine-therapy programs like @comptonjrposse in Los Angeles, where Zoie is pictured above, kids find a refuge from drugs and street-gang culture by developing #equestrian skills. In return for striving in school, the program’s participants, ranging in age from 8 to 18, are taught to ride #horses, groom them and clean their stables. #Animaltherapy releases endorphins, the so called feel-good hormones that counteract the trauma hormones of adrenaline and cortisol. But the degree of neurogenesis, and how lasting the effects might be, is difficult to measure.

Jalopnik on Instagram: "There are boats, and then there's this steel-and-stained-wood masterwork. The Thunderbird was a toy of eccentric richguy George Whittell, costing $87,000 in 1940. Its caretakers say it's worth about $5 million today. They'll take you out on Lake Tahoe in it, too. For $5,000 an hour."

Mara Hruby on Instagram: "Never have I ever been stopped before by people that felt I resembled Princess Ka'iulani, but it happened 4 times last night. My aunt said "We have to go over to the Princess Ka'iulani hotel so you can see for yourself!!!" So here it is, me standing next to images of the truly intelligent AND beautiful woman born in 1875 and passed in 1899. I didn't realize just how much of a compliment it was, but my goodness."
