Cartoons messed people up on what rabies looks like. Ppl think of a rabid animal and assume it's always snarling and frothing at the mouth and ready to attack. Rabid animals can appear really friendly because they lose human fear and they might approach you supposedly looking for food. It might look like a deer stumbling in circles and limping and falling over as if it's injured and disoriented. Might looks like a fox repeatedly trying and failing to stumble to its feet and unable to pick its head up. Their brains are melting. They might seem angry but they might also seem confused or injured or in need. But if you try to help that injured crying fox you could end up getting bit by an animal that's basically already dead and then your brain will melt too

ABSOLUTELY. A lot of rabid animals look sick and injured and your natural instinct is wanting to help them. People do not know what rabies actually looks like. There is a reason you aren't supposed to interact with wild animals, ESPECIALLY ones that seem friendly.

These animals all look sick, because they are sick. Rabies is so much more than just aggression. If you saw an animal like this it would be hard NOT to want to help it. It looks like it's sick because it is. It looks like it's in pain because it is. Everyone should know what rabies looks like because it is 100% fatal, there is no cure for rabies, if you are exposed to rabies and don't get treatment there is nothing that can be done for you. Once you have symptoms of rabies appear, it is too late. You are going to die and you are going to die one of the worst deaths imaginable. PLEASE make sure you never fuck around with rabies, if you are ever bit by a wild animal, ESPECIALLY a bat, do not ever risk it, go to the hospital immediately. Do not hesitate literally ever ever ever

I've read that rabies is also called "lockjaw" because the animal often can't close its mouth.

There was a video of a rabid coyote and one of the comments was about how they once petted one without knowing it was rabid.

As Palestinians lose hope, we must reinforce our strength to support them. Do not give up on Gaza, continue to demand a permanent ceasefire! Palestine deserves to be free, the survivors deserve to live. They deserve to live!!

We can't let the oppressors convince us it's hopeless! Many devastated peoples throughout history are still rebuilding, we must envision a future for Palestinians and all native peoples of the world

The Israeli left is, by and large, interested primarily in an Israel that is better for *them* and that isn’t so overtly genocidal, not a binational Palestine. There are individual exceptions to this rule, I do know some Israeli antizionists, but on an organizational level, even those orgs that report accurately on violence against Palestinians are doing so with the intention of preserving the Israeli state. Being anti-Netanyahu in particular is absolutely not to be taken as a sign of being anti-Zionist. Plenty of staunch self-identified Zionists hate Netanyahu.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, even at its most left-leaning, Israel ethnically cleansed and massacred Palestinians; for example, the Nakba happened under the leadership of Ben Gurion, a labor Zionist and Israel’s first PM, but you can look to early Israeli leaders, the socialist kibbutzim, and the current left-wing parties for more examples. Netanyahu isn’t the problem. The problem is the state of Israel. Settler states like the US, Canada, Australia, Israel etc were founded on the subjugation of colonized peoples, including internally colonized people. This won’t change through elections. This will change with a new paradigm, one where Palestinians have the right of return and people of all ethnicities can live as equal citizens between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea. This, by the way, is what the Palestinian left has advocated consistently.
