big goof (on wheels)🧑🏾‍🦽

Okay, now are you ready to hear my biggest personal biology hot take?

@crearuru this is a really funny comment, I find it interesting sometimes to see how others interpret the things I say on this website that seem very straightforward in my mind. Always neat to hear a different perspective.

To me, the phrase “promote vaccination efforts” would imply supporting development and distribution of vaccines to protect humans against these vector borne illnesses. In the case of rabies we can easily vaccinate the primary vector to threaten humans (dogs), but with arboviruses or bacteria carried by invertebrates it is obviously more feasible to directly vaccinate the humans at risk.

tl;dr: There's no evidence the interview that this was mentioned in even exists, no evidence the route of the cable has ever changed, and the whole story seems to originate from one dude's podcast.

The reddit thread

Post links written as they appear in-post (in case you reasonably hate reddit):

this interview at 16:55

point 7 here (horizontal drill)

at least October 2018 (timestamp for drill plan)

October 2021 (timestamp for finalization)

The archeological survey was done in 2019

October 2020 (archeological exclusion)

Toph: "Lin." Lin: "Hm?" Toph: "You part lemur or something?" Lin: "No." (She clambers up Toph's back anyway.) Toph: "If you fall, don't cry." (Lin throws both arms around Toph's neck.) Toph: "...I said hold on." (Lin hugs even tighter.) Toph: "...Not my neck."

some other moments

Lin: "Ma, look! Suyin is doing push-ups too!"

Toph: "Lin, Ma's eyes might be just for show, but that right there is called 'crawling'"

Lin: "Again!"

Toph: "...You're getting heavy."

Lin: "No, I'm not."

Toph: "Liar."

(She lowers herself.)

Suyin: (giggle)

Toph: (kisses her nose) "You're the easy one."

Lin: "Mom, are we playing?"

Toph: (doing another push-up) "No."

Lin: "Then what?"

Toph: "... training."

Lin: "For who?"

Toph: "Me."

(She kisses Suyin's forehead.)

Toph: "...And apparently for carrying both of you."

i was incredibly dysphoric about my round face and softer features until i started looking at the faces of hispanic men and realized that those features weren’t feminine at all, they were ethnic features white supremacy had conditioned me to see as less masculine

Bodily autonomy (like abortion, anti draft, etc) -> “The government shouldn’t be able to force anything on my body I don’t want.”

Anti surveillance -> “I don’t trust big government/big tech (big brother if you’re feeling frisky) with the ability to spy on me and my family.”

Immigration -> “Next to all of us immigrated at some point, I don’t see why the elites get to decide who’s allowed to be where. What’s to stop them coming for me?”

Climate Change -> “Big oil shouldn’t get to determine whether or not I get to go places. I don’t want to be dependent on some big business to survive.”

State Violence -> “I don’t want the goddamn secret police breathing down my neck! I trust my community a whole hell of a lot more to help me than I do the state!”

idk if you're interested in the behind the scenes, but I did make a mossy rock to make photos a bit easier. I'm also just happy with how nice the rock looks.
