Just picked a Tick off my dog and I FUCKIN HATE That feeling of seeing a small bug that bites, so you start feeling like the mothafuckas are CRAWLING ALL OVER YA WHEN THEY ARENT THERE!
LITERALLY EVERY SMALL BEAUTY MARK/MOLE on MY BODY IS MAKING ME F*CKIN PARANOID CAUSE OF THAT DAMN BUG!!


This insect spray contains DEET, not to be confused with DDT. DDT is outlawed in most parts of the world because it is highly toxic to wildlife and isn’t that great for people either. DEET, when used appropriately is safe. DEET is also the only effective tick repellent in people. That’s it. Citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint oil, and the rest are not effective. If you are going to be doing outdoor activities in tick infested regions (basically anywhere in the world) you need DEET. The very minor worry about adverse effects are nothing compared to the very real life threatening diseases that ticks carry. It just isn’t worth playing roulette with your health because of concerns over DEET. Ask anyone with Lyme or other tick disease and I bet they will say they wish they had worn repellent. Also note that nothing is 100%. You still must check yourself for ticks after any outdoor activity. Tick borne diseases are going to be the new pandemic especially with climate change. Protect yourself.
Friendly reminder that aces and aros are part of pride and anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my ass
Seeing as it’s pride month I am challenging every single person who doesn’t believe that asexuals and aromantics and trans people are lgbt+ to a duel
What Pride IS.
What Pride is about: a celebration of where we’ve been, were we’re going, it’s about taking pride in ourself and our community in the face of a world that tells us to be ashamed, it’s about love and support and the fights we’ve fought together (and are still fight) for equal rights, dignity, and respect.
What Pride is not about: point scoring, claiming one group has more of a right to pride or another has less of a right to pride because of bull shit reasons, ripping each other down, trying to look the most woke in some bullshit internet wokeness Olympics, it’s fucking day two of pride and have already seen enough dumb hot takes to last a life time.
we are a family, we don’t always got to like each other, we do have to love each other, pride is our high holidays so make like family and at least act like you like each other for one month? you can go back to being rotten in July. There’s whole big mean nasty world that was to literally kill us, we hang together or they’ll hang us separately
Thank you Cosmopolitan for giving us this.
Sincerely
A bi girl who has gone through shit like this
