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 fucking love that big feet bird that has a random word over it.

in junior year of highschool my art teacher would let our ceramics class play music of our choice off of her desktop. we usually used spotify or youtube but she did have one album downloaded on her computer. it was a halloween sound effects/ambience collection. i dont remember why she had it. there was a track on there called "burning screams" which was exactly what it sounds like. just a cacophony of screams alongside crackling fire. she only let us play it on very special occasions, and we would cheer and jump with joy every time. it was like a pizza party to us
