Bats in other countries can harbor other diseases like lyssavirus which also are really shitty! It’s not “rabies” but causes a similar disease with the same outcome and also requires vaccines! Best to just not attempt to handle bats at all and reach out to wildlife rehabbers for help!

Mister Rogers never misses

This little dumbass cost me almost two grand in the space of the last two weeks (dental surgery + emergency vet visit when he developed a post-surgery infection). Anyway I started my day today bursting into tears of relief because he's back on his 5 am decree bullshit. Never change, you tiny jerk.

A reminder to self: you are the only person alive with really strong feelings about the facts behind In Re: Booth, no one wants to read a novel about it, you KNOW this.

Guys, you're still trying to replace FDR. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.

what the actual fuck?

As an (occasionally) proud Wisconsin native, my dearest hope is that now everyone goes back to ignoring us. It is unnatural for people outside of the Midwest to even know who we are.

Like non-crab crustaceans evolving into crab-like forms, all Chicagoans eventually converge into one Type of Guy

I can't imagine practicing law as a solo practitioner. I have a case right now that is an absolute clown college and I would burst like an overinflated balloon if I didn't have a group of people I can breathlessly update.

Look, it's not your political beliefs I don't respect, it's you

BBC Earth doesn’t seem to have an active account on here, so I thought I’d share the news. First look at Walking with Dinosaurs (2025)!

It has finally happened: I am finally in the position of being mild-mannered local counsel running fucking circles around the out-of-state dumbass attorney who Will. Not. Listen. when I tell him what WI law says. It would feel incredible except that it's such a waste of my time.

If you told a medieval person we had a nearly foolproof means of cutting debilitating disease & mortality (particularly infant/child) w/ a pinprick & boiling milk but tossed it out over demonstrable lies they’d throw you off a bridge

Did You Know? Dimetrodon #paleontology #comics #paleoart

My favorite part of every museum is the wet nightmares they keep on display at a child’s eye level.

I can finally share this now that it’s finished! My embroidered Tie Dye Stegosaurus! #Embroidery #Dinosaur #Art #SciArt

Once again contemplating what dinosaur would be most comfortable to ride around, assuming any would consent to being ridden (a big ask). It's Hadrosaurus, right? I think you could definitely ride around on a Hadrosaurus.

Here's a very colorful Yutyrannus. Was trying out a lot of different programs and techniques to try and push my art and style. I feel like I am getting there, but still have a lot to learn. I hope you all enjoy this piece, and look forward to more in 2025. Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Colossal squid's one big trick is they can do the equivalent of you surviving a year on one grain of rice because you're too lazy to go look for food and that's why its the most relatable animal on earth

Wanna see a Snow Dino?

And to you and your loved ones 🎄

He's been sitting like this for five minutes. Does he know he looks ridiculous

"I like that corner cupboard," I mention to my father casually, forgetting that he is a woodworker and I am the one child within reasonable furniture transport distance. And so:

We need something like the Bechdel test specifically for journalism/documentaries/etc. about agriculture, except the test is whether the piece ever acknowledges farm laborer safety issues.

The 39th time we've had to post this, and this time about The Onion's original hometown.

Why is horse anatomy Like That. Evolution, what the fuck?

I want to pretend my favorite paleoart is something actually good, but actually it's this specific piece. The vibe is incredible and I think about it at least five times a day.

Okay, The Internet.... we need to talk...🤔 #MosaicMonday

The CEO of Raw Farm—whose milk is contaminated with bird flu—says RFKjr’s transition team asked him to apply for the position of FDA advisor on Raw Milk Policy and Standards Development.

she believes this is true because she doesn’t believe that trans people exist, making it impossible to discriminate against them

Good news of the day: This is a win. www.2news.com/news/nationa...

Third day of #Hadvent Tethyshadros #paleoart

“Alright, fine! I’ll put it on. But I swear to God, if the sleeves are too long, someone’s getting eaten!”

I'm watching a pair of chickadees be dramatic as hell at each other. Were non-avian dinosaurs all divas too, or is the drama gene unique to the bird lineage?

One of the more incredible things about the Internet is that, every day, I can read a brand new sentence that immediately beams mental pictures onto my mind screen that I never would have experienced otherwise, for good or for ill.

low key the most egregious condescension is this idea that conservatives do not have agency and are not making choices but are purely reactive and have no mind of their own

Every once in a while I daydream about making a video essay about why Ea-Nasir became such a meme. I will never do it, but I daydream about it.

The mammalian urge to be in a small warm burrow is never stronger than in November.

I cannot understate how much I hate the euphemism "underage woman" and resent every journalist who uses it. You're looking for "minor".

The council will judge your fate.

I love prehistoric planet baby t rex
