toadschooled:

Good question! [Most] toads you’re likely to encounter are harmless and safe for human hands. They could only make you sick if you stuck them in your mouth. Anyone who tells you that they’ll give you warts is just parroting an old wives’ tale, toads cannot hurt you or make you sick. 

If you encounter a toad in the wild and would like to hold them for a quick picture that’s fine, but you need to be mindful of the cleanliness of your hands and the duration that you handle them for. Frogs have very permeable skin that’s sensitive to chemicals and salts, so if you’ve been painting, exercising, or have sunblock on them, then you shouldn’t handle them. Likewise I always give my hands a good rinse before handling my pet toads to be safe. But if you’re just holding them briefly for a picture or to get them out of the way of danger then that’s fine, just be gentle!

You should also handle them properly. Do not turn them on their backs! They can’t breathe properly like that, and it’s stressful for them. Also, don’t hold by their limbs, push on their head, or squeeze them. Cup them in your hands, or hold them with one hand wrapped around them and their forelimbs hanging out of your hand. Basically, support the frog/toad as much as possible, don’t squish it, and don’t hold it for longer than you need to. 

If it’s a toad, and you notice that it’s oozing white stuff out its back, put it down immediately and wash your hands very well. Cane toads secrete toxins, and a few other toad species secrete irritants. 

Evans: He’s a sensitive soul who stands up to bullies on his personal Twitter and posts loving vids of his dog online. Why? Why would you fight him and make him sad? Why?

Hemsworth: Let’s face it, he’d probably laugh joyously and think it’s a game. He’s the kind of guy who’d do that thing where he holds you off with a hand on your head while your arms windmill like mad trying to get a punch in. Fight Chris Hemsworth. You’d lose, but go ahead.

Pine: I mean, I know his face and general socklessness have led many to fits of apoplectic rage, but why fight Chris Pine? He’s respectful to women, he can sing decently, and his blue, blue eyes might be proof he is an alien. Don’t fight Chris Pine because eye laser beams, obviously.

Pratt: You should fight Chris Pratt. It would be super hilarious and fun and probably involve Silly String and bubbles. Do it, fight Chris Pratt.

something weird

im bi but I tend to get crushes on fictional male characters more that real men and real women more than fictional female characters

so I guess I like to concept of men

i think this is a common feeling because men are written with such depth and complexity, whereas fictional women are not only few and far between, but are written half-assedly and from a place of little understanding of a woman’s standpoint. 

meanwhile, real women are lovely and complex people, and real men are mostly just potatoes.
