It would be darkly amusing if the zombie apocalypse comes, not because of a failed cure for cancer or a supernatural curse, but because we decided to stop taking the hydrophobia seriously for no reason.

Anti-vax sentiment decreasing the rate of rabies vaccines in dogs might collide with the current increase in aggressive and badly-controlled dogs + overtaxed animal control services and shelters in *really* ugly ways.

Chise @sailorrooscout.bsky.social · Sep 8

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Vaccinate your pets please.

“I had to suffer, and so now you do, too” is one of the most pernicious attitudes a person can have.

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I was a bank teller for two-ish years and not long after I started the bank I worked at was bought out by a different bank and they took our chairs away because they said it was “less welcoming” if we sat, and customers would think we weren’t ready to help them.

I’ll give you credit for correct deployment of the meme. That dude was arguing for racism, too.

the broad and undiscerning presumption of good faith is one of the worst and dumbest things about liberal centrist "debate will save us" culture. paranoia is not our friend either, but a blanket assumption of good faith that refuses to even read context clues is what's called being a mark.

darth™️ @darthbluesky.bsky.social · 2d

people who earnestly try to argue that blocking certain accounts deprives u of important opposing viewpoints are assuming these certain accounts are posting in good faith
which is a dangerous assumption tbh

lol, now they're saying the Nazi flag is an "optical illusion"

Swastika” Flag In Office of Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) May Be An “optical illusion” and “easy to miss”

The weird story about an aide to Rep. Dave Taylor (R-OH) having a flag in his Capitol Hill office with a swastika on it, has just gotten weirder.

Multiple sources tell Fox – including those investigating the issue – the flag in question is an American flag – but with a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving. And here’s the strange part: the swastika is not obvious to the naked eye. But is more visible when captured on video or by a still photo.

One source described this as an “optical illusion.” Another said the swastika was “easy to miss.”

Fox has learned that dozens of Congressional offices received these American flags from an undetermined group who brought them around Capitol Hill early in the year. One office tells Fox that the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out. But the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera.

It is not known what group brought the flags around. That is under investigation. The US Capitol Police are also conducting an inquiry. Fox is told that that the group brought the flags to multiple offices. At issues is if the group knew the swastika was embedded into the flag. It is also unclear if this was an effort to covertly deliver American flags to lawmakers with swastikas on them. Or, if this was an effort to deliberately embarrass offices by bringing them an American flag – which featured a swastika which wasn’t obvious to the naked eye.

White libs saying “they didn’t used to be like this” when some of these motherfuckers were adults during the Bush administration.

Rogue Raven @rogue-raven.bsky.social · 4d

Then they had the nerve to refer to Young Republicans in racist nazi chat as kids. Those racists were 24-40yrs old. They were far from children, they know better they iust don't care.

The adultification of Black kids is the criminalization of Black kids, they see Black babies as full grown threats to justify coming down on them hard.
