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

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

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.

they should make an august for grieving and being blue all the time and an august for.. well. enjoying the summer and living your life. and they should be in the same year

the most annoying takes right now are the people twitter theorizing about why calling conservatives & fascists "weird" is Bad Actually and listen i'm sorry you missed the memo but there is no greater moral or philosophical purpose to this besides cyberbullying them in a way that actually hurts their feelings and diminishes their sway. they love portraying themselves as normal and they love being portrayed as evil and powerful. they extraordinarily hate being seen as weird little freaks everyone laughs at. i believe in the human capacity to hold both weirdo, freak, pervert (highly affectionate) and weirdo, freak, pervert (extremely derogatory) and to know the difference between them
