Health officials sound alert after puppy at Colorado adoption event tests positive for rabies

Colorado health officials are trying to find anyone who attended an adoption event where one of the puppies later tested positive for rabies

SHIT.

Please reblog!

[thatdisasterauthor]

If you went to this event, or know anyone who did, take action IMMEDIATELY.

[muffinlance]

For those who don't want to read: animal adoption event in Colorado recently, one of the puppies had RABIES, they're trying to track down everyone who might have had contact to get them medical treatment ASAP (because RABIES), this is a very straight forward "oh shit signal boost just in case someone who needs to see this does" chain

[deadmomjokes]

Super important to get the word out-- rabies is spread via body fluids, not just bites or scratches. And not only are puppies known for teething and scratching accidentally, people tend to let puppies lick them like crazy, including on the face where permeable mucus membranes are, so it's totally possible someone was exposed without being bitten. So yes, signal boost, and if you know people in Colorado, see if you can get them to take a look and share the article/information with their local networks. Always better safe than sorry where rabies is concerned.

my hebrew’s rusty but i can read cursive, so i typed it into google translate. it does in fact say “inshallah it will hit innocent people.”

yes, they transliterated “inshallah” into hebrew.

They put that on an armor-piercing 120mm APFSDS shell. These are fired from tanks and rely on kinetic energy to penetrate the hulls of other tanks. There's no explosive in them. When made by the US, who supplies the IDF with much of their munitions, the penetrators are made from depleted uranium, which shatters and sprays alpha particle emitting material all over the area it's deployed. It gets carried by burning fires, seeps into the soil, the water, gets consumed, causes cancer, birth defects, odd, mysterious illnesses which are denied by western militaries. They're also expensive, reserved exclusively for deploying on armor. Tactically, they're not good for anything but penetrating tanks. There's absolutely no reason for Israeli tanks to be using APFSDS shells in Gaza other than trying to poison generations with radioactive material.

If you fall for a social media prank, do you reblog/pass it on to your followers?

[violetthunderstorm]

This is funnier on mobile. It's like hot gluing a coin to the sidewalk but the glue pools out under it making it obvious at a glance that it is a prank.

BECAUSE CITING SOURCES KILLED MY GRANDMA, OKAY?

[indigenousfawn]

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

Small correction:

Honor the Earth is an organization founded by Winona Duke of the White Earth Nation (Anishinaabe/Ojibwe) with Amy Ray and Emily Saliers (LGBTQ musical duo Indigo Girls and long-time political activists.) You can buy Honor The Earth merch online to support the environmental work they do, specifically to help protest Enbridge Oil’s Line 3 Pipeline routed through tribal lands that endangers wild rice beds which are both a staple crop and sacred to Anishinaabeg.

However, Winona also heads up a hemp farm called Winona’s Hemp & Heritage Farm located on and run primarily by members of the White Earth Nation. It seeks to general local wealth for the tribe by encouraging the production of hemp as a fast-growing renewable and regenerative crop resource to be used for everything from non-plastic textiles/clothing, housing construction and insulation, food products, and CBD products! (They also grow other crops there such as heirloom varieties of corn, beans, squash, Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes, and ceremonial tobacco in an effort to help re-establish and increase tribal food sovereignty!)

They have both a brick-and-mortar shop called The Hemp Market Store and Coffee Shop in Osage MN where they sell their products and others by Indigenous-owned & -run companies! (They also sell those seasonal tribal heirloom crops there including Lakota squash and Ojibwe purple potatoes.)

But you can also buy many of their products online including hemp-fiber clothing, hemp tea, and hemp pasta. They also partnered with an experienced tribal herbalist to formulate CBD medicinal products like balms and oils (haven’t used it myself, but I the CBD balm for my mom for Christmas a few years back and she said it helped her chronic hip pain a lot.)

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

USAmericans who are celebrating thanksgiving today (11/23/2023) I encourage us all to find out which native tribe are the historic stewards of the land we're breaking bread on, and then find an action we can take to honor them. beyond buckskin is a great starting point for finding native-owned small businesses you can buy from. native movement has a resources list of various books, articles, podcasts, video panels and short films, etc to educate about decolonization -- not all these resources are available for free online but a good number of them are. you can always google your local tribe(s) and search for nonprofits & other social programming to support with donations of your time or money. please add links to this post if you have other resources to share!

[wetheoriginals]

i want to highlight some of different pro palestine actions happened at the macy’s thanksgiving.

let’s get started with a group of climate activists that super glued their hands to the concrete on 6th avenue, which is a key point on the parade route:

another group that made some noise and staged a sit-in were the writers against the war on gaza:

you can read their official statement bellow.

the mashpee wampanoe tribe of massachusetts had a member of their trip lifting a palestinian flag on their float. this action noticeably made it onto national broadcasts of the parade:

and amogst all the planned disruptions were people in the crowds simply taking advantage of the visibility of this parade to make support known:

[kleefkruid]

My cats have this meow that means "please come with me to fix this" after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the 'problem', they look back at me, clear message.

What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my 'power.' I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. "Please fix this" they say. "Please get rid of the wet"

"Silly kitty," I say, "I can't control the rain." I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.
