Hey, so, I had to gave my entire thyroid removed. They took out 3 baseball sized masses. Pathology showed I had papillary cancer, but the removal IS the treatment so I'm good there. Then it was burning like a mf because I was allergic to the staples. And 2 days later my steri strips fell off. It still hurts to yawn. So what I'm saying is...

Look at my puppies.

"the three dots on the side" call her by her REAL NAME.. Meatballs Menu

[maythray]

im gonna say it now so everyone in my notes stops arguing over this. meatballs menu is three dots side-by-side. kebab menu is three dots up and down. bento menu is an array of 9 dots in a square shape. hamburger menu is three lines horizontally. Yes there are others but none of them are nearly as prevalent so i dont care enough to list them. goot bye

luv how male animals gotta fucking dance around and cry and shit for female attention and sex. and then men irl complain about fat women and body hair like get on ur fucking knees and beg me actually

[eddies-ashtray]

like these tarantulas dude?? the male has to tap out a rhythm she likes and if she doesn’t?? she’ll literally eat him.

Alpha males: "This is nature. You don't see animals acting like queers don't you?"

90% of nature documentaries: "Until now the female has been very impressed by the males drag performance of Orwell's Homage To Catalonia, soundtracked exclusively by Maria Carey songs. A demanding performance like that knows to impress. But... Oh No... One note in the final tune was one cent flat. It doesn't look good for the male now. She is ordering an orbital laser strike to burn his beautifully groomed plumage from space. It will take all year to regrow, effectively ending this one's mating season early. Better luck next time, little guy. Women are a tough audience."

every major structural social problem right now is basically "we don't have enough skilled workers on the ground" and the reason is always "well we've been intentionally underpaying and understaffng them for decades to increase corporate profits" and somehow the news always just mentions the "shortage" without digging into the cause

air travel is a mess? shortage of air traffic controllers - for some mysterious reason

logistics a mess? shortage of truck drivers - for some mysterious reason

public transit can't meet demand? shortage of bus drivers - for some mysterious reason

We even mysteriously have shortages of doctors, nurses, teachers... FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON

FUCKING PAY PEOPLE AND HIRE ENOUGH STAFF

So I happened across this little tidbit

...

There's one person working at the CDC right now with clinical experience with rabies. One.

I'm sure with the rise in anti-vaccine sentiment, especially regarding the rabies vaccine, this won't have any potentially dangerous repercussions...

[thenookienostradamus]

Pausing testing is bad news, yes. Because then we don't get federal-level rabies prevalence data.

This isn't solely down to anti-vaxxer sentiment, though. This is the same type of intentional gutting of public health that this administration is famous for and that does end up endangering human health. Individual states and municipalities still require rabies vaccination for domestic animals and will issue fines if you don't get your pets vaccinated. But a pre-exposure rabies vaccine isn't typically given to human beings unless they are intentionally placing themselves in an environment where the risk of contracting rabies is higher (e.g., a scientist studying bats or a wildlife rehabilitation specialist).

Human rabies vaccination is typically post-exposure prophylaxis (a series of shots after suspected exposure to the virus). What pausing rabies surveillance does is blind us to current and future rabies outbreaks in animal populations, which then raises the likelihood of increased rabies exposure in humans.

This fucking sucks but the advice remains the same: if you are bitten by ANY feral or wild animal, go get rabies prophylaxis. I had a friend who was bitten by a feral kitten. I still told her to get rabies shots, which she did. Because once you start showing symptoms, you are already dead. Don't fuck around with rabies.

[talesfromtreatment]

As a registered veterinary technician, my anti-vaccine comment was about domestic cats and dogs. Which is why I was sarcastically saying that that growing sentiment and now this lack of testing surely won't have any repercussions.

It's the rabies vaccine legally required for dogs and cats? Yes.

Are there communities online that make fake rabies certificates that I've seen people admit to using? Yes.

Are some counties/cities so backed up and understaffed that there are people who have never received something telling them to license their dog and people use that as an excuse to not get the rabies vaccine? Yes.

Do people have outdoor cats that they simply never take to the vet? Yes.

Do many breeders tell people to delay or even avoid the rabies vaccine entirely? Yes.

Are there people who refuse to vaccinate that vet clinics will still see their pets? Yes. And since I'm the only rabies vaccinated tech at my work I get to handle these animals yaaaaay

[petrichormeraki]

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you

in drawing class yesterday we were doing a critique for our self-portraits, and one girl, who is like the coolest chillest stoner girl type imaginable, had drawn herself at the dentist holding that thing that sucks the water or of your mouth, and one person was like “what’s that you’re holding?” and she said “it’s mister thirsty.” and we all sat there for a second processing, and one boy said “…did you just call that thing mister thirsty?” and she was like “yeah, is that not what you call it?” and everyone shouted NO and she was like “i don’t know what you guys are on. it’s called mister thirsty.”
