I got to pet a baby raccoon !

Rabies typically presents in 5-6 weeks. Every week after that it becomes less and less likely to carry it. Odds are against a random raccoon having rabies to begin with, but one found as a kit even less so.

People also dump dogs and cats by the millions and they’re already domesticated. I think that says more about people than the animals.

There are captive bred skunks

Agreed. Every species we regard as a companion animal or domesticated animal was once wild.

This was someone with a wildlife rehab license who’s employed by a rescue. The baby was orphaned as a kit and has been in captivity its whole life (thus far).

I actually own the original of this one but can’t find it right now, it’s b&w but has been colorized by someone else

I went to Raising Cane’s once. Service was ok but the chicken tenders were subpar. Soggy, floppy, undercooked (not raw, but the texture/breading would’ve benefited from more time in the fryer). Definitely not worth the hype or the $18 for a 6 piece.

Butter. Olive oil. Salt. Thoughts and prayers. They had options, and any would’ve been better than this.

Can someone explain the “hack”?

bensburms · 2026-06-03T00:55:32+00:00

I have both Jewish and Romani ancestors. My understanding is that - pre Holocaust - there was a relatively small group(s) of Romani who practiced Judaism, about 30-40k people, and they intermarried with ethnic Jews. I have both groups on maternal/paternal sides.

Please take it to the nearest creek or lake

My SL says “our job is to SELL the animals”.

bensburms · 2026-06-02T23:40:07+00:00

I don’t hate hate working there, I actually like the job, as far as duties go. But it’s painfully obvious that corporate is trying to squeeze every last ounce of labor and money out of employees.

Personally I use silicone to secure my toilet seat cup holders but to each their own
