Rabies kills ~59,000 people a year globally. At that rate, the United States should lose 2,500 people a year to rabies. But the real number is fewer than 10, partly because we've spent 30 years dropping fish-flavored ravioli out of helicopters over the Appalachians.

Each one contains a rabies vaccine inside a fishmeal-coated block. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and enjoy the treat. Four to six weeks later, they carry rabies antibodies. Enough of them in one area and the virus runs out of animals to move through.

USDA Wildlife Services has been doing this this line since 1995. It runs roughly from Maine down through Alabama, and its job is to stop raccoon-variant rabies from crossing into the central US, where it has never established.

A single course of post-exposure shots runs into the thousands of dollars, and every rabid raccoon in a suburb produces a cluster of them: the kid who got scratched, the dog that tangled with it, etc. US rabies prevention costs between $245 and $510 million a year and avoids over a billion in medical spending.

Long Island is probably our best case study for this program. A $2.6 million baiting program eliminated raccoon rabies from the zone, and paid for itself in eight years on avoided shots and testing alone.

The biggest question I hear about this is: what happens if my dog finds one? And the answer: nothing bad. This vaccine has been safety-tested in over 60 species at varying doses with no adverse reactions observed, regardless of how much was given.

About 250 million doses have been distributed worldwide since 1987 with no documented deaths in wildlife or domestic animals. The most severe adverse reaction observed was upset stomach.

Leftists: stop telling me to put a mask on. Public health shouldn't be individualized!

Also leftists: everyone needs to workout as much as they're able to so they can fight fascism!

when you see an insect or spider, i want you to think "what a tiny and fragile little body", and not "what a disgusting or appalling or scary creature"

If you think a Jewish leftist is a Zionist just because they have a Torah quote in Hebrew on their laptop, you are simply an antisemite.

Having a trans coworker at the pharmacy is literally saving my life one day at a time. She understands all the weird shit I go through here with the customers and we can laugh about it together instead of being depressed and isolated yayyyy solidarity

hot take: a lotta y'all are some kinda disabled and don't realize it, cause you've been taught all your life to ignore discomfort in favor of "working hard"

Ableism is the one of the greatest unifiers the world has ever known. It crosses all lines and makes hypocrites out of most everyone. When it comes to covid, the only difference between the right + the left was 14 months

[Olive Siffleur @OliveSiffleur]

Disabled leftists aren't telling you not to work out. They are saying that working out doesn't make you better than them. If you DO think that working out makes you better than disabled people, you have embraced the supremacist logic of fascism. It's really that simple.

Chances are it’ll be an anarchist shaped like a twig wearing an N95 and making zines about madness that actually de-arrests me before any of you, so we can leave all of this projection in the gym locker room where it belongs honestly

Climate grief is real. I feel like I am pre-mourning all that we will lose and mourning everything that is lost already. As I make my coffee and then have a hot shower I think to myself: enjoy this while it lasts. Enjoy the little things, you will need these memories later. When the water is gone. When the crops have failed. When the mass deaths reach your door too.
