for anyone that fears they’ve had rabies exposure but are avoiding treatment because you’ve heard the shots are really painful, THEY ARE NORMAL SHOTS IN YOUR ARM. you get a series of five that are spaced a bit further apart each time. I had the series done when I was bitten by a street dog in 2013

If anyone knows anyone who might have gone to this event, please please please urge them to get in touch with the Colorado DPHE as soon as possible, ideally yesterday. They need shots and they need them *now*. Signal-boosting out to extra networks. 🧪🌱🦑🐠 coloradosun.com/2024/08/09/c...

Trump is a fucking moron. He was a fucking moron before he ran. He was a fucking moron while in office. Everyone who has ever worked with him has written memoirs where they say "wow this guy is such a fucking moron". And for some reason people keep asking "but what if hypothetically he wasn't"

I don't think I shared this massive blanket I finished a few months back (a belated wedding gift for a friend!) It was such a fun #crochet project, with enough challenge to keep it interesting. New Beginnings pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

The Georgia Republican Assembly supports a program to encourage and subsidize emigration for those whose ancestors were brought here against their will. A "Go Back to Africa" program?

“Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the Men’s store. A catnap in your office chair. Or the shear joy of a bicycle commute on a perfect New England morn.”

when I worked at the electronics company I told a genuinely disturbed Scottish customer that I would go down to the warehouse and check if we had extra components "in the bin"

Spent literal years and several arguments with my wife and various other Americans before I realised that "quite" in the US means the exact opposite of what it means everywhere else In British English quite= somewhat/slightly In the US, quite= very Understanding this was a total gamechanger
