the problem with being kind of unashamedly a weird guy is that its still kind of hurtful when people treat you like youāre weird. like yeah man I know you perceive me as very eccentric and an iconoclast but if youāre constantly reacting to me like Iāve grown two heads and said something totally insane every time I open my mouth. I uh. I am not gonna feel especially welcomed in your life. you know.
For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."
This one is for you.
Where I live 108Ā°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.
Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40Ā°C or 95-105Ā°F.
First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.
If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.
If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.
Once you get over 90Ā°F (32Ā°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).
If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.
Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.
Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.
If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.
Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.
I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.
Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!
If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt
If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house
If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.
If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.
Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat
-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.
-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.
-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.
Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.
Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.
Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.
Frozen fruit is delicious in water.
Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.
Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!
Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."
Image Description provided by @loveize
[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

Be safe.

As someone who works outdoors in the summertime: OP is very, very correct and heat is NOT a joke.
I would also like to add that beyond a certain temperature, cold water can genuinely be dangerous as a shock to your system. Roofers especially are often BARRED from drinking cold water, because going from nearly 40Ā°C heat and then drinking something ice-cold can CAUSE ACTUAL SEIZURES.
Your best bet is lukewarm or slightly cool water, combined with wrapping an ice pack in some cloth and putting it on the back of your neck or tucking it into your belt.
And for the love of god if you have to go outside, wear BIG FLOPPY UGLY HATS as well as sunscreen. (Good Sunscreen. 60SPF minimum.) Sunburns retain heat and are Fucking Miserable on top of giving you cancer. Bad ones dry out your skin and can cause infections when youāre still sweating a lot and it gets into blisters.
Heat Stress is cumulative. If you are out trying to do the same thing Monday to Friday, something that you could manage on Monday is probably going to knock you flat on your ass on Friday if you donāt pace yourself.
If youāve had any sort of heat-stress illness in the past, you are more prone to getting it again and more easily than someone whoās never had it.
reblogging bc itās getting solidly into the Deep Heat where I am.
Cooling towels like this can be lifesavers, but you have to be able to wet them regularly to keep them cool. Not sure how well they work in super humid areas, but in the dry heat of AZ, they are great.
Speaking of pets, keep a close eye on your critters! Some can be extremely sensitive to temperature changes, and 'getting uncomfortable' for a human who can go get a popsicle and mess with the A/C can be 'death threshold' for other beasts. I'm not trying to freak you out but it is important to know your pets' limits and make sure they stay in a safe range!
no animal was harmed during the making of this video. not one. for the few minutes that we were shooting film, the guns of each hunter fell silent. the industrial bolt throwers observed a moment's peace and the jaws of every predator hung softly open. no fish bit any hook and the bait worms held off on drowning only until the cameras stopped. the tails of ruminants ceased to flick just as their attendant flies, in unison, landed on their flanks to catch their tiny breaths. a spider instantly stopped winding silk around a wasp, patiently waiting for the caesura to end. a young veterinarian paused with the syringe in their hand. somewhere, a colicky baby stopped biting its mother's nipple and nursed happily for the very first time. we're sorry. we're sorry it couldn't have been longer. we didn't know this would happen.
The central joke of the Ulysses Ogre meme hinges on the Ogre holding themselves to unreasonable standards by expecting to fully grasp one of the most famously difficult works of the 20th Century after only a single reading, which just doesn't work if you substitute your favourite video game, because frankly, your favourite video game is not Ulysses ā but to be fair, the overwhelming majority of books are not Ulysses either. There's probably a video game somewhere out there that's as textually challenging as Ulysses, and it's probably some random-ass RPG Maker game from 2006 with an author whose name is a dick joke and a present fandom of approximately eleven people.
for the longest time i somehow had it in my head "yeah okay finnegans wake is so impossibly dense that there's barely an academic consensus about the plot of the damn thing and that's the joke there specifically, but surely ulysses is like, something everyone's supposed to know and that i'm just uncultured for not getting, i shouldn't insult everyone's intelligence by assuming it's even close to being as difficult"
and so i took the message as more "everyone operates at their own level, and that's nothing to be ashamed of if forcing the issue will hurt" and not "stop holding yourself to impossible standards and beating yourself up for not meeting them"
once someone pointed out that "ogre finished reading ulysses at all" was part of the joke, it occurred to me that it's basically the impostor syndrome version of this XKCD strip
and realized i was, in fact, the ogre here.
or, to be more succinct:
EVERYONE CALL OGRE STUPID AND IT'S TRUE! OGRE BARELY EVEN LITERATE! OGRE FINALLY FINISHED READING "ULYSSES OGRE" BUT OGRE CAN ONLY IDENTIFY SURFACE LEVEL THEMES LIKE MEDIA LITERACY AND SELF-ESTEEM, AND CAN'T COMPREHEND DEEPER IDEAS LIKE "SOMETIMES SOMETHING ACTUALLY IS DIFFICULT AND IT'S NOT JUST A SKILL ISSUE ON YOUR PART" THAT MAKE ULYSSES OGRE A TUMBLR CLASSIC! OGRE SO DUMB, IT MAKE OGRE SAD! AT THIS RATE, OGRE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND SILICATE CHEMISTRY!
Yeah, I've bumped into a lot of folks who think the joke is that Ogre really is barely literate and is misreading the themes of Ulysses, which is, ironically, the product of poor media literacy causing them to misread Ulysses Ogre.

"Okay, but it's not a dragon, a dragon has" if putting it in the sky would be sick as fuck, it's a dragon. Whales are dragons.
Honestly love this OP, 100% on board. However this does feel like it would incite another "featherless biped=behold man" situation.
Concept: fantasy setting where "human" is a political category whose boundaries are pseudoscientifically justified by defining humans as featherless bipeds.

results of tumblr vs 4chan war
thousands of SJWs lost in Tumblrs army due to conflicts within the ranks about fanfiction censorship
thousands of Neo-Nazis lost in 4chans army due to being arrested in "real life", a higher plane that few can access and is rumored to maybe not be real
underground advanced trade system established to covertly deliver memes between parties with minimal contact, which facilitates the transfer of language. tumblr notably begins to publish content written in "Greentext", a dialect originating from 4chan
Tumblr splinters into hundreds upon hundreds of sub-factions, though the two most powerful are the Darkly Chics and the Bluey Adults. the factions are largely in opposition to eachother, but none of them agree to leave Tumblr
4chan splinters a more violent and intense clique, whom after many heated conflicts with 4chan's main userbase are run out of 4chan and seemingly disappear into the cold mist for years
the 4chan splinter clique becomes its own nation while nobody is looking, choosing to be called the Soyjacks (based on a popular style of abstractionist art that originated in 4chan but quickly spread elsewhere)
earlier in the war, Tumblr's governing body, known as "Staff" (possibly originating from the name for a type of halting rod used by level 25 and above wizards), issued a ban on all pornography, leading to many notable artists fleeing to a neighboring site known originally as Twitter. later in the war, Twitter would enter the infamous X Period, and users from Tumblr either rejoined or moved to the newly formed Bluesky
several large scale rifts between Tumblr Staff and the common people occur, causing widespread fear and doubt about the longevity of Tumblr. talks about Bluesky and its success begin circulating, though most remain skeptical
out of basically nowhere, the Soyjacks launch an attack on 4chan's entire main perimeter of operation, which turns out to have actually been very poorly guarded, and reinstate the board they were thrown out of before taking down 4chan. those who were able to escape in time reported the last words they heard being "CHICKEN JOCKEYYYY". this is said to have been a message from God
the Soyjacks, after bringing 4chan to its knees, reveal that spies have been collecting information from within 4chan in the time since their banishment, and several private logins of members of 4chans governing force (known as the "Janitors") are leaked, effectively spelling the end of the site as it once existed
result: tumblr wins by doing nothing
the spirit is unwilling and the flesh it feels not so good also
today I used the phrase "breasting boobily" in casual real life conversation and everyone was shocked asking how I came up with that and I had to explain it. ive been at the devil's sacrament so long that I forgot he wasn't god
āIāve been at the devilās sacrament so long I forgot he wasnāt godā is getting added to the tumblr line book
i think this is really cute. it also escaped containment from a fetish forcemasc blog. both things can be true.
Hey @punkrorschach How was the devilās sacrement?
iām a crossdressing polyamorous queer androgynous trans man whose verse and a switch. i am the devil giving the sacrament.
rap has probably been the most consistently popular and influential genre of music for the past 40+ years but your average person on tumblr is less willing to listen to it than a random white teenage boy in the suburbs or a 4channer who lurks on /mu/ every once in a while
ask a tumblr user why they don't listen to rap and you get shit like this lmfaoooo
not very new hyperfixation rediscovered write a poem abt it
how it feels to use the word diegetic
She's also publicly stated that she believes that anyone who reads her books or watches her shows and films does so because they explicitly agree with her political views.
There's no "agree to disagree" with her work. Every time you pick up her work or talk about it you are saying to her "I agree with you Joanne" whether you like it or not.
Pirating is ethical here
Just do it
no
no the fuck its not
don't even pirate it
don't talk about it
don't write revisionist fanfics
don't hatewatch it
don't engage with it in any way shape or form
that franchise deserves to die. by trying to distance it from jkr while she is still alive and still profiting from it and still using her money to make the lives of trans people a living hell, you are prioritizing your shitty nostalgia fueled obsession over the existence of every trans person alive.
let it die. don't watch it. don't pirate it. don't engage with it at all. and encourage other people to shut up about it. any time someone mentions it, give them a disgusted look. even if they try and pretend to separate it from the creator, make every single person who engages with it feel like a complete fucking idiot. because that's what they are. idiots who care more about a badly written childrens book than they do about our existence.
Even when she's dead I'm sure she will direct her earnings from Harry Potter into a trust which disperses funds to her political interests and programs like her "trans crisis centre".
If you live long enough for it to become public domain, and you're tragic enough to still be carrying the drarry torch or something... Write your own much more interesting Wizarding World.
Look.
Even if she wasn't absolutely putrid to trans people.
The books are FULL of fatphobia, anti-Irish sentiment, anti-Slavic sentiment, antisemitism, sexism, sexual assault (including assault of children), bestiality jokes, racism including an incredibly racist rape joke, homophobia, disability metaphors being consistently treated like jokes, and more.
I'm not saying you can't enjoy a book that's full of this stuff. Lord knows I read Agatha Christie, she of "Ten Little N*****s" fame. (Yeah, if you're one of today's unlucky ten thousand, that was the original name of And Then There Were None. The text has been amended to "ten little Indians," which is another version of the rhyme, but it's, uh. Hm. The only thing making that "better" is that it doesn't actively involve slurs.) Your personal bullshit tolerance level is your own business.
But if you're trying to pretend this series is in any way inclusive or kind, you're fooling yourself and nobody else. And if you're trying to pretend you're not actively doing harm...I don't know what to tell you, except that I don't trust you and neither does any other trans person you know.
