3/10. And, oddly enough, NPR had a rebroadcast of a segment on earlier where they were discussing the history of the "billy possum," a stuffed animal meant to replace the teddy bear fad

(And, of course, once upon a time possum meat was more socially acceptable. Now it's a Roadkill Cookbook cliche.)

They're adorable. Wish it were legal to have them as pets here.


Kinda curious where they're illegal, since I was under the impression that most states just require a handler's license. Tried to google it and found that Arizona has them illegal. However, if you moved to Missouri, you could apparently legally own one.

Granted, you *could* just illegally own one because most of the time nobody gives a fuck and they're easy to get.

Colloquially they're just called possums in a lot of areas.

Most things aren't. They're pretty awesome.
