Fun Fact: opossums have so low of a body temperature that rabies can't survive in its body. Don't worry, you probably just spooked it into playing dead
Today I sat in unbeknownst close proximity to an opossum that was either afflicted with rabies, or that I had frightened nearly to death.
I'm assuming the latter because it literally looked dead — eyes open, not breathing, slightly bloated — and only moved when I left the area. As I am aware this behavior is an entirely involuntary state of shock, no wonder it walked a little... er, wobbly, when it finally recovered.
Still, I called as many wildlife hotlines as I could, given I've rarely seen an opossum active diurnally, and I'm hoping for the best for the critter I likely scared into catatonia.
I've never been so taken aback by a post in my entire 20 years of living
which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?
it sucks so fucking hard that we don't have mushrooms the size of trees and shit
[ID: A video recording of Bisan Owda, filming herself standing still and speaking in front of a car underneath the morning sky in Gaza, with the sun visible above her head. Loud sirens can be heard around her as she says:
"Hey, everyone. This is Bisan from Gaza. We're still alive, and we wish you a merry Christmas in the Christmas eve. Wish you a merry Christmas despite the churches of Gaza are closed, full of displaced people, and surrounded with snipers. We wish you a merry Christmas despite the children, women, men, Christians and Muslims of Gaza are murdered and under genocide. We wish you a merry Christmas despite that we cannot exchange gifts or spend our holidays in our homes because they are completely destroyed, and merry Christmas despite there are hundreds of killed, decomposed bodies in the the north of Gaza Strip in the streets, at least 137 them are field executed by the Israeli soldiers in front of their children. Merry Christmas, but pray for Gaza."

Please think about why these videos are coming out in English. In your tongue, so that you can understand them. Don't ignore them or get tired of seeing them or call them guilt-trippy. Don't stop talking about Palestine. Make Palestine impossible to ignore. Even at the cost of "disrupting" your celebrations.
More than 60% of the global population that are classified as the Phase 5 famine/catastrophe level of food insecurity and starvation are in the Gaza Strip right now, and that percentage is projected to increase to 95% by Februrary
