we’re really at that point in the year where no one cares about anything huh
My psych professor mentioned swaddling in lecture so I emailed him a picture of me being swaddled in my dorm room and asked if I could get extra credit because it was really hot in there and I got really sweaty and he was like “fabulous, sure”
I’m going to miss the Honors Advisor from my university.
This is definitely my favorite email i’ve recieved from a professor, with the subject line “back at it”.
this feels like if all of humanity were to reset and humans had forgotten how everything worked and had to teach each other what things were. this is the Wall turorial
A horse just passed from aggressive rabies in Thatcher, AZ, and they couldn’t euth it because it tried to attack anyone who came near, so it died in agony - they also couldn’t shoot it to put it out of its misery because brain tissue has to be preserved for analysis by the state, and potential blood/brain matter spray from that method of death creates a rabies vector biohazard that can infect anyone or anything it comes in contact with.
PLEASE make sure any animals you have that can have a rabies vaccine get it. It’s a fairly inexpensive vaccine, and the peace of mind and protection it provides is worth it.
Putting more description and the video of the horse under a readmore, all the content warnings, this video is truly horrifying, but I feel it is important for media evidence of what rabies can do to be out there for better information.
Heed the video warning but yes absolutely this is why I freak out every time someone downplays the danger of rabies. Rabies is INCURABLE and only one single proven person has ever truly survived rabies, with the vast majority of the others (except a claim one guy did as well but all articles are Spanish language only and he is not even acknowledged by worldwide rabies studies) are in permanent comas but not technically braindead.
You can PREVENT RABIES with a vaccine or if you have recent rabies exposure you can get prophylaxis injections to stop the virus from progressing. The latter is NOT available for nonhuman animals- vaccination is the ONLY way to prevent rabies in your pets and livestock.
Rabies is DEADLY and WILL KILL any animal who progresses to the symptomatic stage. Please vaccinate your animals- it’s not expensive and is the only thing preventing them from dying an agonizing and painful death as the virus takes control of their brain.
I had the misfortune of coming across a video of this horse earlier this morning and it straight up disturbed me. That poor animal legitimately looked like a creature out of a horror movie. Cujo paled in comparison.
Even if you never give your animal any other vaccine please at LEAST give it that one. The results are hideous and sad and so so easy to prevent.
By popular request (ones, nearly ten[s] of people are asking), here’s my Republican-specific congresscritter tariffs script:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY/TOWN, ZIP].
I’m calling [REPUBLICAN REP/SEN NAME] to ask [HIM/HER] to save our economy.
The tariffs announced on April 2nd are taxes. The American Enterprise Institute says it’s a tax increase that will destroy our economy. They say there are zero benefits, there will be zero benefits. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Cato Institute and Manhattan Institute all agree, it’s just a wrecking ball made of taxes. There’s no upside.
These tariff-taxes will cost American jobs—private sector layoffs are already starting—and destroy American businesses, short-term and long-term. This is going to ruin people. The stock market is already cratering.
If we as a country are going to make sweeping economic changes, it’s congress’s job to draft and vote on those. We need review and oversight, not to be handed down dictatorial decisions, no matter who’s president.
So, I ask that [REPUBLICAN REP/SEN NAME] intervene by backing a joint resolution, or by any means available, to stop Trump’s misuse of emergency powers. Put a stop to the tariffs, rein in the overreach, and return financial and economic decision-making to congress where it belongs.
Thank you.
(For Democrats, 5calls has a very short script that will work.)
For those of you that may have just finished watching Cory Booker’s record-breaking senate speech and are inspired to “get in good trouble”, you have a great opportunity for it this Saturday!
On April 5th, numerous advocacy groups are banding together into one nation-wide rally that will be held in major cities all over the country - you can easily find a participating location here!

your account is weirdly helping me get over my ex boyfriend. he was always identifying planes and now i can have the same experience without a shitty person involved.
Scrolled past this agakn and just can’t get over how much I love it. We need to make things beautiful again and this is such a wonderful example. The beadwork on the wires of a utitarian object, contrasted with the grey concrete.
