  3. If you can imagine the most #vile, #disgusting, #repugnant and #nasty behaviour a human being can exhibit, you've probably just described a #Republican #politician without even realizing it.

    It's all the rage with the #GOP #Brand these days.

  8. Fun fact: DEET is also effective at repelling leeches. However, I haven't seen that as an EPA-accepted usage in the United States so I don't think you'll see it on the label like you can in Australia (home to 100+ species of leeches. #leeches #deet #repellent bushman-repellent.com/bushman-

  10. Quick tip for Thermacell owners: replace the repellent cap after every use so that you don't lose fluid from evaporation. Refill cartridges (active ingredient: metofluthrin) are insanely expensive. Doing this will also remind you to turn the device off. #mosquitoes #pesticide #repellent #thermacell #pyrethroids

    Frantz #Fanon was born on the Caribbean island of Martinique, which was then a French colony. Frantz Fanon said (at first Congrès des Écrivains Noirs in #Paris in 1956) :
    "It is not possible to subjugate people without logically making them inferior through and through. And racism is simply the emotional, affective and sometimes intellectual expression of this prior inferiorisation."
