sorry if iām being a party pooper but because rabies is apparently the new joke on here ??? please remember that rabies has an almost 100% fatality rate after symptoms developĀ so if youāre bitten or scratched by an animal that you arenāt 100% sure is vaccinated then GO TO A DOCTOR.Ā itās not a joke. really.Ā
Youāre being kind when you say āalmost 100% fatalityā. What people need to hear is: if you get to develop rabies symptoms, youāre dead. If you get heavy treatment after developping symptoms, you still need a miracle. Like, a real miracle, you should enter some religion if you escape that.
ALSO, I donāt want people feeling confident about petting stray/wild animals because thereās a vaccine available, either. Iāll explain why from my own experience (Iām not a doctor).
I got bitten by a wild tamarin once, on the pulp of my index finger. It drew blood, there are many wild animals in the area (tamarins, possums, bats, foxes) and it isnāt that uncommon to hear about 1 or 2 rabies cases every now and again (a puppy we gave to a friend got it, for instance), so I went to an ambulatory immediately.
Because I was bitten in an ultrasensitive area, I needed fast treatment. But it was also a small area, so the usual thing they do - inject the vaccine in the place - wasnāt a choice. They told me theyād divide the shot in 5 small ones, and inject me all over my body, so the antidote would get to my entire system fast.
Please stop for a moment and think that the disease is so worrysome that theyād rather needle me all over than to give me one shot and wait until it spread through my system.
Then they said that, okay, but there was a catch first. I needed to take an antiallergic shot.Ā āWhy?āĀ āBecause the virus is devastating, and as the vaccine is made from it, but weakened (like almost every vaccine) it will still create a reaction, and itās a strong one, and itās veru common for people to have strong allergic reactions to it.ā YOU HAVE TO TAKE AN ANTIALLERGIC SHOT IN ORDER TO TAKE THE VACCINE COZ THE VACCINE COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE YOU REALLY SICK
ALSO IT WASNāT JUST āA LITTLE ANTIALLERGIC SHOTā
IT WAS ONE OF THESE FUCKERS HERE.
It was OBVIOUSLY dripped in my body and not injected because HAHAHAHA. Truth be told I was an adult already and Iām tall so I have a lot of mass but STILL.
So after I had taken the antiallegic and was starting to feel drowsy (as a side effect of it) the doctor came with the 5 shots.
- One in each buttock
- One in each thigh
- One in my left arm
They all stung like a bitch and I usually donāt care about shots.
āOkay so can I go home now?ā
āNo, we have to keep you under observation for 2h so weāre SURE the vaccine wonāt give you any reaction.ā
BINCH I WAS GIVEN A BUTTLOAD OF MEDICINE BUT THERE WAS STILL A RISK.
I slept through the two hours and then was liberated to go home. My legs, butt, and left arm hurt all over, like I had been punched there, for a few days. I also had a fever (not feverish, a fever)
BUT DID YOU THINK IT WAS OVER?
WRONG!!!
I had to take four reinforcement shots in the next month, one a week, so I could be positively be considered immunized. Every time I took a shot, my arm would swell and hurt like itād been hit, and when night came Iād have a fever. Because thatās how fucking strong the vaccine is, BECAUSE THATāS HOW VICIOUS THE VIRUS IS.
So yeah. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN RISK, GODDAMNIT. Rabies is a rare condition all over, THANK GOD, and 1 confirmed case can be already considered a surge and a reason for mass campaigning, AND FOR A REASON.
If you like messing with stray/wild animals, donāt go picking them up and be extra careful. Or just, like, DONāT - call a vet or an authority that can handle them safely.
I must add that I live in a country with universal healthcare, so I didnāt pay a single penny for my treatment. Is this your reality? If not, ONE MORE REASON TO NOT FUCKING PLAY WITH THIS SHIT.
Rabies is 100% lethal. Period. If you are scratched or bitten by an animal youāre not positive is vaccinated, you need to find treatment NOW. And probably go through all that shit Iāve been through (also if you are immunosupressed? I DONāT KNOW WHATāD HAPPEN)
Stay safe and donāt be stupid ffs
Guys, I know this isnāt art nor anything like that, but Iāve been hearing about this rabies thing and ???? Look I trust none of you would risk yourselves like this, but maybe you can educate someone through my experience and stuff.
Also rabies does not necessarily cause frothing-at-the-mouth aggression in animals. Docility is also a very common symptom so any wild animal that isĀ āfriendlyā orĀ ālikes to be petā is suspect. Literally any wild animal is a vector.
Finally, you donāt need to be bitten. All you need is to come into contact with an infected animalās bodily fluids through a cut that maybe you didnāt notice when you were handling it when it drooled on you.
Never touch a wild animal.
Infection with the rabies virus progresses through three distinct stages.
Prodromal: Stage One. Marked by altered behavioral patterns.Ā āDocilityā andĀ ālikes to be petā are very common in the prodromal stage. Usually lasts 1-3 days. An animal in this stage carries virus bodies in its saliva and is infectious.
Excitative: Stage Two. Also calledĀ āfuriousā rabies. This is what everyone thinks rabies isāhyperreacting to stimuli and biting everything. Excessive salivation occurs. Animals in this stage also exhibit hydrophobiaĀ or the fear of water; they cannot drink (swallowing causes painful spasms of the throat muscles), and will panic if shown water. Usually lasts 3-4 days before rapidly progressing into the next stage.
Paralytic: Stage Three. Also calledĀ ādumbā rabies. As the infection runs its course, the virus starts degrading the nervous system. Limbs begin to fail; animals in this stage will often limp or drag their haunches behind them. If the animal has survived all this way, death will usually come through respiratory arrest: Their diaphragm becomes paralyzed and they stop breathing.
And to add onto the above, saliva isnāt the only infectious fluid. Brain matter is, too. If, somehow, you find yourself in possession of a firearm and faced with a rabid animal, do not go for a head shot. If you do, you will aerosolize the brain matter and effectively create a cloud of infectious material. Breathe it in, and youāll give yourself an infection.
When I worked in wildlife rehabilitation, I actually did see a rabid animal in person, and it remains one of the most terrifying experiences of my life, because I was literally looking death in the eyes.
A pair of well-intentioned women brought us a raccoon that they thought had been hit by a car. They had found it on the side of the road, dragging its hind legs. They managedāsomehowāto get it into a cat carrier and brought it to us.Ā
As they brought it in, I remember how eerily silent it was. Normal raccoons chatter almost constantly. They fidget. They bump around. They purr and mumble and make little grabby-hands at everything. Even when theyāre in pain, and especially when theyāre stressed. But this one wasnāt moving around inside the carrier, and it wasnāt making a sound.
The clinic director also noticed this, and he asked in a calm but urgent voice for the women to hand the carrier to him. He took it to the exam room and set it on the table while they filled out some forms in the next room. I took a step towards the carrier, to look at our new patient, and without turning around, he told me, āGo to the other side of the room, and stay there.ā
He took a small penlight out of the drawer and shone it briefly into the carrier, then sighed.Ā āBear, if you want to come look at this, you can put on a mask,ā he said.Ā āItās really pretty neat, but I know youāre not vaccinated and I donāt want to take any chances.āĀ
And at that point, I knew exactly what we were dealing with, and I knew that this would be the closest I had ever been to certain death. So I grabbed a respirator from the table and put it on, and held my breath for good measure as I approached the table. The clinic director pointed where I should stand, well back from the carrier door. He shone the light inside again, and I saw two brilliant flashes of emerald greenāthe most vivid, unnatural eyeshine I had ever seen.Ā
āI donāt know why it does it,ā the director murmured,Ā ābut it turns their eyes green.ā
āWhat does?ā one of the women asked, with uncanny, unintentionally dramatic timing, as she poked her head around the corner.
āRabies,ā the director said.Ā āThe raccoon is rabid. Did it bite either of you, or even lick you?ā They told us no, said they had even used leather garden gloves when they herded it into the carrier. He told them to throw away the gloves as soon as possible, and steam-clean the upholstery in their car. They asked how they should clean the cat carrier; they wanted it back and couldnāt be convinced otherwise, so he told them to soak it in just barely diluted bleach.
But before we could give them the carrier back, we had to remove the raccoon. The rabidĀ raccoon.
The clinic director readied a syringe with tranquilizers and attached it to the end of a short pole. I donāt remember how it was rigged exactlyāwhether he had a way to push down the plunger or if the needle would inject with pressureābut all he would have to do was stick the animal to inject it. And so, after sending me and the women back to the other side of the room, he made his fist jab.
He missed the raccoon.
The sound that that animal made on being brushed by the pole can only be described as a roar. It was throaty and ragged and ungodly loud. It was not a sound that a raccoon should ever make. Iām convinced it was a sound that a raccoon physically could not make.Ā
It thrashed inside the carrier, sending it tipping from side to side. Its claws clattered against the walls. It bellowed that throaty, rasping sound again. It was absolutely frenzied, and I was genuinelyĀ scared that it would break loose from inside those plastic walls.Ā
Somehow, the clinic director kept his calm, and as the raccoon jolted around inside the cat carrier, he moved in with the syringe again, and this time, he hit it. He emptied the syringe into its body and withdrew the pole.
And then we waited.
We waited for those awful screams, that horrible thrashing, to die down. As we did, the director loaded up another syringe with even more tranquilizer, and as the raccoon dropped off into unconsciousness, he stuck it a second time with the heavier dose. Even then, it growled at him and flailed a paw against the wall.
More waiting, this time to make sure the animal was truly down for the count.
Then, while wearing welderās gloves, the director opened the door of the carrier and removed the raccoon. She was limp, bedraggled, and utterly emaciated, but she was still alive. We bagged up the cat carrier and gave it to the women again, advising them that now was a good time to leave. They heeded our warning.
I asked if I could come closer to see, and the clinic director pointed where I could stand. I pushed the mask up against my face and tried to breathe as little as possible.
He and his co-directorāwho I think he was grooming to be his successor, but the clinic actually went under later that yearāexamined the raccoon together. Donning a pair of nitrile gloves, he reached down and pulled up a handful, a literal fistful, of the raccoonās skin and released it. It stayed pulled up.
Severe dehydration causes a phenomenon calledĀ āskin tentingā. The skin loses its elasticity somewhat, and will be slow to return to itsĀ ānormalā shape when manipulated. The clinic director estimated that it had been at least four or five days since the raccoon had had anything to eat or drink.Ā
She was already on deathās doorstep, but her rabies infection had driven her exhausted body to scream and lunge and bite.Ā
Because, the scariest thing about rabies (if you ask me) is the way that it alters the behavior of those it infects to increase chances of spreading.Ā
The prodromal stage? Nocturnal animals become diurnalāallowing them to potentially infect most hosts than if they remained nocturnal.Ā
The excitative stage? The infected animal bites at the slightest provocation. Swallowing causes painful spasms, so they drool, coating their bodies in infectious matter. A drink could wash away the virus-charged saliva from their mouth and bodies, so the virus drives them to panic at the sight of water.
(The paralytic stage? By that point, the animal has probably spread its infection to new hosts, so the virus has no need for it any longer.)
Rabies is deadly. Rabies is dangerous. In all of recorded history, one person survived an infection after she became symptomatic, and so far we havenāt been able to replicate that success. The Milwaukee Protocol hasnāt saved anyone else. Just one person. And even then, she still had to struggle to gain back control of her body after all that nerve damage.
Please, please, take rabies seriously.
This has been a warning from your old pal Bear.
I knew how bad it was, but I had never read anything like the raccoon story.
I am not exaggerating when I say that is literally terrifying.
Y'all please read this. That is absolutely hideous. Thatās literally like something from a horror movie.
Do not fuck around with wildlife. Or weird strays.
TFW Rabies education comes across your dash because some fuck up calls themselves Rabiosexual.
Reblogginā for that raccoon. o.o The original post I can pretty much guarantee is a troll, but itās useful to know just why rabies is such serious shit.Ā
Education right here
Extra reminder: If you see any animal other than a dog whoās been attacked by a porcupine? Itās rabid.
Dogs are dumb, friendly fucks who will investigate anything; everything else in the animal kingdom knows better than to mess with a porcupine, unless their brain is being ravaged by something beyond their control.
If you see a non-dog animal that has porcupine quills sticking out of it? Donāt try to help it yourself. Call animal control.
@talesfromtreatment @is-the-cat-video-cute tagging you to spread the word? Apparently people have forgotten that rabies is a brain disease, terrifying, is fatal if not treated immediately, the treatment is horrid, and the treatment is very expensive
Also I heard that in the USA, human rabies pre-exposure vaccines are not widely available and cost something like $900
Get your pets rabies vaccine every year, folks. Aside from everything else - and thatās a lot of everything - the test for rabies involves the brain, so the animal will be killed first.
And that is a kind end. The videos of rabies seizures are nightmarish
This is also why youāre not supposed to sleep outside without cover (ie a CLOSED tent) if there are swooping bats in your area. Apparently it can be very hard to realize youāve been bitten by a bat (vs a bug, I guess itās very small). Some students from my university were on a trip where they came into contact with bats, taking lots of selfies holding them etc, in the area they were supposed to be sleeping and the professor lost it when they saw some of the pictures. The students were housed elsewhere and the university had everyone vaccinated at the schoolās expense- the pre-exposure vax may be expensive, but the number of shots you get post-exposure can vary (as demonstrated above) and it was ASTRONOMICAL.
When I looking for places to move to when I can finally leave the states, I looking to laws and procedures to bring my cat with. Any place that had eradicated rabies, intense policies and quarantines for any animal entering the country, unless you were coming from a different place that had also eradicated it. Some of would put your animal down if they were symptomatic at all. I remember thinking āwhat canāt rabies just treated?ā No it canāt be, putting your pet down is the humane option if there symptomatic.
[image: a sixty-milliliter syringe, with human hand for scale. the syringe barrel is likely around five inches long and likely has an inside diameter of an inch or more.]
When I talk to my students about Louis Pasteur and the development of vaccines, I *have* to talk about rabies.
Do you know why ādog catcherā was such a serious occupation? Because in the late 1800s rabies ran rampant in urban street dogs. Because people who got bitten by street dogs⦠had probably just gotten a death sentence.
As a child, Louis Pasteur watched a man from his hometown die slowly, painfully, and unstoppably from rabies from a rabid wolf bite and it stuck with him so hard that when he grew up he put his own life on the line studying and working with rabid animals to develop a treatment. (Louis Pasteurās wife, Marie Pasteur, was also a talented, passionate scientist who worked uncredited by his side. Many of their daughters also took up research.)
When Louis Pasteur did his first human test of his rabies vaccine, it was because a mother came to him desperate. Her 8 year old son had been bitten 14 times by a street dog. Doctors were certain he was going to die. Sheād heard what Pasteur was working on and begged him to try to save her son.
He tried.
It worked.
This made national news. This made GLOBAL news.
And in the small Russian town of Beloi, locals read about this miracle cure. Their town had been attacked by a rabid wolf and twenty two people had been bitten. They knew these people were going to die. So the bitten people set off walking, carrying the most injured. They walked for weeks to get to France, where Pasteur was based.
When they arrived, the only French word they knew was āPasteur.ā Their cases were dangerously far along, possibly too far. Pasteur began treatment anyway, pushing with the most aggressive dosages he dared.
This also caught global attention. The world waited on tenterhooks.
Pasteurās vaccine saved 19 out of 22.
The world was awed.
And when those Russian villagers returned home, to their families, it would have been like seeing the dead return.
Vaccinations changed our world.
Rabies is such a terrifying and serious threat that it has shaped our cultures for centuries. The rabies vaccine is quite possibly the most important human invention since agriculture.
Vaccinate your pets.
Donāt touch wildlife.
Of lesser importance, read Rabid: A Cultural History of the Worldās Most Diabolical Virus by Murphy & Wasik.
Reblogging because rabies is bloody terrifying.Ā
Also reblogging to remember Louis Pasteur, the nineteen lives he saved then, and the many others since.
tumblr guide for new users:
1) there is no algorithm for your dashboard. can't stress this enough. your dashboard is in chronological order of posts and reblogs from people you follow. "based on your likes!" is a joke and they removed that feature in a week
2) because of the lack of algorithm, likes do nothing. if you want more people to see a post, you have to reblog it so it goes on your follower's dashes
3) the vast majority of posts on a person's blog tend to be reblogs. think 90% or so. some of those will have that person commenting on it, and more will have tags
4) comments stay on reblog chains, while tags only show up on your reblog of that post. it's kind of like a whisper voice. in either case, both op and the person you reblogged from see that in their notifications
5) tags don't go in the body of the post. writing "staying in #lasvegas" won't make it appear in the las vegas tag, it'll just look weird
6) it's totally normal to reblog and post multiple things in one day. it's normal to reblog the same post twice in a row. it's normal to have 100 posts+reblogs in a day. post limit (the total number of original posts and reblogs) for a single day is 250. you heard me. 250. go hog fucking wild
7) it defaults to having a visible likes tab on your blog (but only on your blog, not the dashboard) but most people toggle it off
8) "tumblr clout" is a fucking joke. no one can see your follower count, and no one makes money here. there are no influencers. enjoy not giving a shit about maintaining a public persona. it's all anonymous and your employers won't find you here
9) there is literally nothing stopping you from copy-pasting the entire Bee Movie script onto any post you reblog. your followers will hate you for it, but fuck 'em
10) it's okay to block people for any reason. for instance, if someone tells you they might copy paste the entire bee movie script onto your posts. nothing personal, kid. arrivederci
ā2) because of the lack of algorithm, likes do nothing. if you want more people to see a post, you have to reblog it so it goes on your follower's dashesā

The Milt Kahl Head Swaggle (Source: Cartoon Brew)
I love it when you can pick up an animatorās quirks.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Iāve read in old interviews with Milt Khalās fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldnāt go. Ā Ā Ā Ā Not only are they all doing the swaggle youāll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesnāt work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isnāt his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.
Milt Khal was a MASTER.
God, I canāt express to you how fucking DELIGHTED I become whenever they Milt Khal Head Swaggle Post graces my dash with its presence again.
From Tennessee Lookout:
MASON, Tenn. ā The Tennessee Comptroller issued an unusual appeal last week to residents of this small, majority Black town, which occupies fewer than two square miles in rural west Tennessee.
āIn my opinion, itās time for Mason to relinquish its charter,ā Comptroller Jason Mumpower wrote in a letter mailed to each one of Masonās 1,337 property owners.
Mumpower urged local residents to āencourage your local officials to do whatās necessary to allow Mason to thrive. There is no time to waste.ā
State comptrollers, responsible for financial oversight of local government, typically communicate directly with elected local leaders and not their constituents. āWe have not issued a letter to citizens like this before,ā Comptroller spokesman John Dunn said, noting it is āunprecedented for us to publicly call for a town charter to be relinquished.ā
But the Comptrollerās unprecedented public callout comes at an unprecedented time not only for Mason, but for the state. Mason, located in the southeastern corner of Tipton County, now finds itself with some of the most coveted real estate in Tennessee.
Itās one of the nearest towns to the massive new site to be built for Blue Oval City, a key component in Ford Motor Coās multibillion-dollar pivot to electric vehicle manufacturing.
Mumpowerās letter has infuriated Masonās part-time elected officials, who insist they have no intention of ceding their townās 153-year-old charter ā which would subsume the largely African-American, majority Democratic community under the governance of Tipton County, which is predominantly white and Republican.
āThis is our home. We were born and raised here. The majority of the town is homegrown people that live here,ā Vice Mayor Virginia Rivers said. āHe is trying to conquer and divide us. Itās akin to a hostile take-over and itās not hard to figure out why here, why now.ā
Town leaders are accusing Mumpower and other state officials of big-footing a long-ignored, largely Black community now that major investment is heading its way.
Mason is 60% Black and includes descendants of men, women and children enslaved in the area before Emancipation. For more than a century the town was led by White elected officials.
That changed in 2016, when fraud and mismanagement allegations led to the resignations of nearly all City Hall officials, all of whom were White. Masonās current mayor, vice mayor and five of its six alderman are Black.
āItās because of the Black people that are in office,ā said Rivers, who first became Vice Mayor in 2021.
āAnd itās because of all the places in the world, Blue Oval could have selected, they selected here. Thereās no way Mason wonāt prosper and grow. And now they want to take it away from us.ā

The Comptrollerās office:
Yet again like in the past. New day, new Jim Crow-esque tactics, perfectly timed takeovers.Ā This Black American town needs to be promptly saved without handing a damn thing over. The town elected mostly Black officials back in 2015.Ā Theyāve been trying to pay off the debt from when the town was previously ran by mostly white officials. Literally playing catch-up.Ā
This aināt nothing but a glimpse of what it looks like before eventually uprooting and displacing Black people off the land they have resided on since forever and where their ancestors labored said land as property in chattel slavery and the move into Jim Crow. Ā
Thereās a change.org petition to sign and share to get the word out there.
This person suggestedĀ to put Ford in the hot seat byĀ sending a letter like this. Others are suggested to call their office.Ā
This is the CEO of Fordās twitter.
Something gotta give.Ā
This shit should be on the news. But as usual, they make it known after the deed is done or not at all and you end up finding out years later.Ā

listen if you think someone is cool and you dig their energy you just have to tell them, because thatās the kind of stuff you remember a thousand times longer than somebody complimenting your hair or whatever. tonight I told a girl from my theory class that I like her analytical approach and she bounced back at me saying she digs my feminine energy and how she gets the vibe that, to my core, I exist to uplift women and I damn near cried. tell people what resonates about them. be real. help each other feel seen.
yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.
like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.
but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.
and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.
PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.
REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you
on the flip side let me just say that the fact that you can't share posts on tiktok and apparently visibility is entirely based on likes is absolutely nuts to me
Yāall if you want to normalize screwing with gender you need to get real comfortable with the idea of cishet people being gnc without doubting their sexuality
And with trans people changing nothing about how they look.
and cis people with pronouns that dont match their gender + trans people with pronouns that dont match their gender too
if we're going to tear down this construct we gotta do it thoroughly B)
don't forget trans people who keep their given name, and cis people who don't!
Anti intellectual meme review:
This right-wing meme is a gold old: "I don't understand even the basics of feminism. But if you think women should be equal to men with regard to voting rights, working, wages, owning property, able to Initiate divorce, education, etc: you also will be wishing you could go back in time as a woman, to before the 1950s, when women couldn't serve in the military yet, over their sole role as a housewife." meme. Classic.
Ironically the same people who created this and share this, would be the first ones praying that should a draft come they're on the list. Unless they're psychopaths or young dumb and blinded by nationalism.
10/10 for willful ignorance and stupidity.

Why is tumblr so weird?
And I am not talking about the content on this website⦠I am talking about the website itself, like from a technical standpointā¦
for example: the Create Post window looks like this:
but when you zoom in 200% with your browser it suddenly changes to this?
and this window doesnāt just look different, it is miles ahead of the other one in every single way, for example this his the build in text editor:
yeah, you can change color and font without doing any HTML bullshitā¦Ā
And the wildest thing⦠youāre not limited to one kind of post with this create post windowā¦Ā
You want to create a hybrid post that has pictures, text, a video and music? you can just do that no problemā¦
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU HIDE THIS BEHIND 200% ZOOM????
I didnāt know this so I am guessing quite a few of you probably donāt know about it eitherā¦
#looks kinda like a hybrid of mobile and of desktop
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦yknow i saw this and i thought to myselfĀ āi wonder if the devs here are so incompetent that they set up css @media breakpoints but only used single min-widths and max-widths instead of both min-widths and max-widths so that at certain viewports it gets confused and uses the css from multiple breakpointsā and yknow what
i think thats exactly what the fuck they did dfhjkdjk

Okay I know I donāt normally reblog this kind of stuff, but I was fascinated by it, so I sent this post to my girlfriend (she knows way more about coding than I do) and messed around a bit on my own, and hereās what I learned:
1.Ā in plain English, theĀ ācss breakpointā stuff means that Tumblrās mobile and desktop features are coded to work at specific zoom values, rather than working across a range of zooms, so if you zoom in far enough on desktop, itāll activate the mobile features
2. on my laptop, the mobile features start showing up at 150% zoom
3. if I start writing a post at 125% and then zoom in to 150% - or if I start at 150% and then zoom out to 125% - the post gets completely erased (probably because itās not meant to happen and the code breaks down)
4. itās impossible to discard a post the normal way on 150% zoom (I had to refresh the whole page to get rid of my test draft. My best theory for why that happened is that the only method of closing the draft was with smartphone controls.)
5.Ā zooming to 150% and then trying to reblog a post resets the desktop to its normal function, and it stays that way until I refresh the page
conclusion: Tumblr is a hellsite at every level
They had not been seen together in the museum galleries for quite a while. Monetās āWomen with Umbrellasā are once again side by side in the Impressionist gallery.
AND THEN THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END!!!!
ok every time this post comes by i resist geeking out on it but NO LONGER so these women are probably the same woman and that woman is monetās wife camille doncieux. he painted her a LOT. but fun fact: monet had this asshole friend named ernest hochede, and ernest racked up some debts, and like an asshole he basically just fled the country, leaving his wife alice and their six kiddos behind. monet immediately got alice and kids to move in with him, camille, and their two kids. at this point, monet, alice, and camille became my favorite probably historic poly threesome. they lived together, taking care of the kids. they were so poor that alice and camille took turns wearing the nice dress so they could go out with monet. when camille got uterine cancer and began dying, alice helped monet cope and took care of things while he painted camille over and over. when camille died, alice is the reason monet was able to survive. when ernest finally died, monet and alice married, and remained married until alice died. at that point, blanche, the oldest daughter, took care of monet until he died. anyway, the point is, the umbrella ladies are probably the same ladies, but as far as iām concerned, there WAS a historically queer poly family in that household and they were wonderful.
If Iād been told how gay art history was I wouldāve paid much more attention college.
Funnily enough they let out this gay little detail when I learned about Monet in art uni

how what???
Iām not good with the science of this or anything (someone who knows more feel free to add) but fish can play??? Fish can play like any other animal?? People saying it couldnāt breathe, do human kids not hold their breaths to go under water for fun? Itās just the opposite. Air is water, water is air. In the same vein as a kid being thrown up and into the pool and enjoying it, the fish is playing.
okay⦠as someone who studies marine biology I need to clarify something:
fish are unable to hold their breaths. They literally cannot take a deep breath like mammals do.
We have lungs that can take in a specific volume of air, fish have gills that work when they are ventilated enough. There are different kinds of gills, yes. Some fish have something calledĀ āoperculumā which is like a cap on top of the gills, helping to protect them and increasing the water circulation through the gills. Some fish DONT have this structure and need to swim in order to be able to breathe.
But the fact that they cannot hold their breaths doesnt mean that they cannot survive without water for a while - in fact, fish can (usually) survive being without water WAY LONGER than we could survive being without air.
I cannot tell if this fish does this for fun, but it sure looks like it. But I am not a behavioural biologist, so I canāt tell for sure.
It is abundantly clear the fish is a willing participant. Itās sort of arrogant to assume animals other than humans donāt play like humans.
Im not a behavior biologist either, but I have spent a lot of time around fish and ive spent a lot of time talking to and helping people that care for fish. (Former petstore fish guy that took his job too seriously)
That fish is having fun, and fish absolutely DO have fun!
There was a regular who came into the store I worked at a lot, and he kept several varieties of chichlids, a very smart, aggressive type of fish.
He would come in and talk to me about all the drama his fish get into. The different territorial disputes they were having, who had paired off with who, who broke up (yes chichlids are like this)
But he had a jack dempsey in particular that LOVED to chase his hand around the tank, not his wifeās hand, not his friendās hand, it HAD to be him. He said that as soon as he entered the room where this fishās tank was kept, the fish would TEAR UP the tank decor, knocking things over and acting a fool off his shits until this dude stuck his hand in there and let the fish chase it around back and forth.
He theorized that his fish learned that if he knocked the tank decor around, his owner would obviously have to stick his hand in to fix it. So when he wants to play āchase dadās handā thats naturally how he knows he can get the hand to appear. He wont do this behavior for anybody but this one guy and he wonāt tear up the tank anymore after he had received sufficient āplay timeā, usually once a day when the guy got home from work. He likened it to having a dog that wont leave you alone till you play tug o war for a bit.
I had a betta that would spend twenty minutes at a time just swimming up to the waterfall of the filter, letting it push him down to the bottom of the tank, only to swim back up and do it again, like it was a fucking slide.
Bettas are weak swimmers, and they dislike strong currents, but this guy was using the filter current like a slide. Kinda like how we donāt really like getting thrown around, but we still enjoy rollercoasters.
I also have countless stories about goldfish trying to āgive hugsā (re: shove themselves into their owners hands during tank maintenance)
My betta knows how to lie and he will only beg for food in front of those he knows have not fed him yet.
There is so much evidence Iāve seen that fish are waaaay smarter and affectionate than we think. They absolutely have fun and I honestly donāt think enough studies have been done on fish brains and fish behavior in general.
And honestly, having worked in a pet store, fish are generally treated like they donāt have brains by even the fish care brands that claim expert knowledge.
Its definitely worth noting that hard scientific evidence presenting that the very opposite is true would probably lead to more robust animal welfare laws that would definitely upset the aquatics industry. Food for thought.
I think youāre absolutely right on that last point. The misconception that fish are too thoughtless to have feelings facilitates the abhorrent conditions in which they are kept and ways they are treated by the industry.
I used to have a lovely tank, I think it was 50 gallons, and among other things I kept glass catfish. All the research at the time said they were hard to keep in captivity and prone to refusing to eat and starving themselves, and that they did not live long in captivity. But I was fascinated and had to try it. It took me about three days to realize none of the literature said a word about them being nocturnal. I started feeding them at night right before bed, and had zero problems getting them to eat, saw they were incredibly active as soon as the lights went off (I have exceptional night vision) and I kept them in excellent health for years. Exponentially beyond their captive life expectancy.
I think the commercial pet fish trade is abysmal in terms of actual working knowledge of fish.
Fish Intelligence (a link at which you will also learn there is a fish called the bony-eared assfish) has been studied on a pretty broad scale, actually and thereās a lot of scientific evidence to suggest that they are very smart creatures.
Attention non-artists who commission artists: donāt fuckin do this???
Actually had someone do this to me too. Was doing a art stream, it took me over 2 hours to do his inked commission, he got a refund cause āit took too longā that he figured I wasnāt going to do it after I gave him the file.
Donāt do this. Do not.
Iāve had this happen to me with a $350 comic :/ I had already finished it, it was full color, 6 panels and had a full bg in every panel. I was lucky in that I didnāt spend him money yet, but it left me without funds. Iāve also had the above happen to me as well.
Donāt do this shit to artists. Weāre people too. Drawing for you is more than a hobby. Itās a job.
Use Paypal Invoices.Ā
I cannot stress this enough. That shit helps A LOT when it comes down to Paypal refunds/disputes. Thereās a description box that letās you put in what the product is/how long itāll take/yadda yadda, and then thereās another little memo box that only you and paypal can see where you can say itās a digital commission and doesnāt require shipping (So Donald Mcfuck canāt say that they never got their commission). And thereās also a box for your Terms & Conditions where you can say, if you have any conflicts/want a refund - email me, or you can actually tell the user that this is a digital commission and they wonāt be getting a hard copy of it.
ARTISTS. PLEASE USE PAYPAL INVOICES. it will SAVE you. And to: the people who do this to artists ā Fuck you. Itās okay if you change your mind and want a refund. But freaking TALK to us and let us know whatās going on. Let us WORK with you.
ALSO A HUGE TIP: Invoices paid will automatically set up a shipping notice which, if not fulfilled, can land you in SERIOUS hot water with PayPal. Since a lot of artists donāt print and ship the commissions, this is a huge problem.
However! Totally manageable. Just go to your PayPal, scroll down to find Seller Preferences
>> Shipping Preferences
>> Display Ship Button. Make sure all the boxes are unchecked. Then youāre all set!
As a big supporter of artists, donāt you ever fucking dare fuck over an artist like that. Like donāt. And if they take their time to do a good job, donāt shit all over them for it! Donāt be a fucking ass hole. Just donāt. These people put a Ā LOT of work and time and effort into their artwork. Just donāt be that guy. Often times these artists arenāt even getting what they deserve in compensation.Ā
I am very grateful my customers have been good to me, but Iām spreading the word.
Very important!
As a new artist, Iām very grateful for this post. Never knew this. Thank you.
