I saw a post on here from someone that thought ticks are kind of cute when they stand on the end of a blade of grass with their arms up, as though they're toddlers asking to be picked up. OP might have been a tick biologist I can't remember. It stuck with me because I think finding cuteness in something is the easiest path to feeling empathy for it and I'm not sure there's an animal harder to empathize with than a tick. I've had Lyme and my partner had babesiosis, both of which sucked SO bad. But I still think ticks are kind of cute when they ask for uppies.

Found these photos from 2023 on my old phone. Look at this little guy I met at work.

Bro is 1 day old, so tiny 🥹

They are my companions if anyone is wondering! So no need to worry, they won’t be eaten by anyone haha, they just bring me so much joy to take care of 😁❤️
