EDDIE DIAZ IS SO STEVE ROGERS CODED

1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, don’t place your thumb/fingers over either end

2. Flick the blue cap off

3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams. 

It doesn’t hurt much at all to use this needle. The first time I used mine, I didn’t even feel it. But be sure to stab it IN THE OUTER THIGH. Do not stick it anywhere else or you could seriously hurt or kill someone. Just right to the outside of the thigh and then call the ambulance - even if your friend starts doing better, they could have a biphasic reaction, meaning a reaction that comes back (or they may need a second dose, be on the look out). If your friend has an epipen, then they have an epipen trainer that doesn’t have a needle and you can try it out just to be sure you know how to use the real thing if you have to. I’d also advise holding it a few more seconds then 10, maybe go for 14 just to be sure all the medicine is administered and that you didn’t count too fast - that’s what I did.

Here’s a graphic of where to stick it:

so i’m gonna put it out there ahead of time.

I love how it doesn't matter what expedition it is.

They all turn into excited kids when they meet penguins.

Once every couple of years I get an idea for a contemporary story, and when they get their teeth in, they own me. This time it's ANYTHING YOU WANT, DIEGO, a spicy queer romance set in my home city of Pittsburgh. (Thanks, Natasha Snow Designs, for fitting in the bridges 🖤💛 on this adorbs cover!)

Taran

I've disappointed a lot of people in my life, but the one that still hurts is Diego. I should've been honest about my feelings for him, but instead I went off to college and focused on my so-called football career. Eight years later, when we saw each other again for the first time, we ended up in the backseat of his car just like old times. I know it's selfish, but I'd beg for another chance to treat him right.

Diego

What a pathetic cliche, the gay theater kid that fell for the closeted high school quarterback. He might've broken my heart ages ago, but when Taran showed up at my stepsister's wedding, I knew I was in danger all over again. I have a great life in the city, good friends, talent, aspirations, hook up apps. The last thing I need is a blast from the past to destroy it all.

So why the hell can't I stay away from him?

These bills have nothing to do with keeping young people from doing certain things or protecting the children or whatever. Their point is and always has been one thing: If your operating system knows who you are it is impossible to have any real form of privacy on the computer.
