Tips from a Texan!

Drink more water than you think you’ll need. Trust me, you need more than you think. While watching the color of your urine is an excellent indicator also pay attention to your sugar cravings. Dehydration tends to set off more sugar cravings than normal so if you find yourself craving sweets more than you normally would that can be a much quicker indicator you’re dehydrated than your urine. (Not always as reliable but it happens for a lot of people! With less water your body can’t get energy out of storage as quickly so even though you have plenty of energy your cells aren’t getting as much so your brain starts sugar cravings in an attempt to get more energy even though the real problem is dehydration is the long and short of it.)

Also make sure to keep your electrolytes up too! Your body needs sodium, potassium, and other minerals to function just as much as water, and you’ll lose them through sweat and urine as well so too much water without intaking any electrolytes can still hurt you!

If you can put wet towels around your neck those can help a lot! There’s cooling towels you can buy online that actively stay cold for a while but if you can’t get any of those just a bit of wet cloth is better than nothing!

Take breaks as much as you can and keep the fans running! You’ll tire a lot easier. Also try to avoid direct sunlight. Even if it’s still hot in the shade the difference is STAGGERING.

Also depending on how much you HAVE to be in direct sunlight I’d recommend either sunscreen or lightweight but full body covering. I had to walk half an hour each way to the pharmacy yesterday and wore a breathable but long sleeved blue shirt and thin beige pants, I personally prefer to just stay covered since sweat can wash off sunscreen. Light colors will keep you cooler and the last thing you want is to get burnt! Hats are also great unless you’re me and would rather just deal with it bc you despise having things on your head. 😂 It was also remarkable how much walking on the side of the road that was in the shade made a difference, direct light is not your friend!

We’ve been dealing with these temps for weeks now in Texas so you have my utmost compassion. (It’s still morning but it will get up to 104 where I am later, I totally get it.) Best of luck to you all, may it pass quickly. ❤️

Thanks for the advice friend, I'll keep all of that in mind.

Heatwaves are always deadly in the UK - because we don’t have the systems in place to deal with this level of unusual heat - but this one is going to be worse. Many houses in the UK don’t have AC (which is a part of why we struggle with heatwaves in general) but some do, and many others have electric fans or similar devices. Fans and AC (for those who have it) are hugely important in getting through this kind of weather.

The cost of energy is soaring right now and people can barely afford to eat - who is going to run their fans or AC in this economy? I honestly believe this heatwave will have one of the worst death tolls in at least recent years.

Also, Americans of the internet, please refrain from making fun of people who are dying or suffering health issues due to the 30-40 degree Celsius heat just because you’re used to it hotter. It wasn’t funny last year, or the year before that, and it isn’t funny now.

Ice in front of a fan may help a bit if you can spare the ice. It's also important not to go into temperature shock! So don't go from really hot to like, an ice bath.

Honestly, the idea of implementing Discord-style reactions on Tumblr isn’t a completely terrible one.

Tumblr likes are functionally meaningless save as a mechanism for popular blogs to keep score anyway, so letting folks effectively colour-code their likes for individual posts by choosing a symbol to associate with them wouldn’t do any particular violence to the site’s functioning – it’d just get subsumed into the post’s overall note count.

However, I suspect that suddenly having dozens of icon to choose from when liking a post would be an intimidating adjustment for the site’s established userbase; it might be best to start gradually, with a smaller set of options – perhaps just three or four.

And you know, since we already have hearts

Spawning starts with a question.

The new Player asks “What am I?” “Who am I?” “What will I do?.” As they shape their world, they learn. And as they meet the Universe, they know.

In the next world, the Universe asks the player - “Well?”

And the player asks - “What now?” “What’s next?” And the player says “I know who I am now.” “I know what I want.” “I am me.”

In the next world they are different, and they are the same. And the Player shapes and learns, and creates and loves and knows. 

Sometimes, when a player respawns, they Ask - “What could I do differently?” “What if I was different?” “What can I change?” They say “I want something new in this place.” “I want to change.” And so they do.

The Player spawns and asks “Who am I now?” And the Universe shows them.

The Player spawns, and says “I am human.” “I am a creature.” “I am family.” “I want to create.” “I want to destroy.” “I want to live.” “I want to play.” “I want to fight.” “I want company.” “I want a story.” “I want something new.” “I want, I want, I want.”

And the Universe gives it to them. And the Universe loves the Player in every new form they take, in every change, and every new story they tell, and the Player knows.

I know the names of cats across the oceans that I may never get the chance to pet, but to know they exist is a gift all it's own.

I have exciting information for you! Bird bones are not entirely hollow, rather they are filled with large air pockets. I find the result both delightful and terrifically unsettling!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

(fy this is the reason you shouldn't feed dogs cooked chicken bones. the bones can create splinters that cause problems in the throat and gastrointestinal tract. it's not a very common issue, but the risk is real enough that it's best to stick to mammalian bones)

[nikonny]

But have you heard of bone cheese?

So apparently Morbius is returning to like 1000 theatres today in a blatant attempt to cash in on the memes we've all been making.

Listen to me. Look me in the eye while I am saying this to you. Listen.

It is of the utmost importance that absolutely no one goes to see this movie now. That is the best and indeed the only way we can end this horrible, brilliant joke. We're so close, you guys. SO close.

You make posts on Tumblr

[strifesolution]

minecraft body language related things

- anything related to crouching. slowly going up to someone while crouching to be sneaky. spam crouching in “friend?? friend!!” crouching and looking down because you’re sad :(

- punching up in the air enthusiastically like “hey let’s go!!” punching the blocks underneath you rapidly as if moving your hands around in conversation. affectionately punching other players like you would pull someone’s ear.

- i dunno if this is just my group but full netherite players criting each other with axes and swords because it barely does any damage and it’s fun

- aggressive spinning to goof off

- almost-but-not eating something to make obnoxious noises

- that thing streamers/youtubers do when you can tell they’re staring at themselves in f5 to talk to an audience

- also, when you can TELL someone has paused to look at you in optifine zoom

- forcing yourself into swim/fly mode on land for maximum silly mode.

- waiting for someone to find where you are so you’re like. in a body of water going straight up and down with a riptide trident until they do. or just flying up and down with elytra

- getting in a boat on land and spinning in circles like “hey I’m bored let’s go”

- slowly swapping out tools either as a threat, or to dramatically reveal what item you have

- putting armor on as a threat, or taking it off as a “I’m relaxed” thing

- playing hot potato with a junk item neither player wants and chasing each other around with it

- i just think running around with a loaded crossbow out is really funny. you look like an oblivion npc

- loading up a trident throw but Not letting it go and holding it back as a threat

- rapidly flicking levers/opening chests/pressing buttons/etc to annoy the other person, especially while they’re talking

- closing a door in someone’s face

- playing a block in front of someone. they break it. you place it again. this continues for two more minutes

- jumping down at someone from a higher place like “HI I’M HERE NOW!”

- sitting in cauldrons. become soup.

- music disc dancing. moving around as much as possible for pigstep and slow crouching to cat

- being offended/sad etc and digging down a few blocks to sulk

- anything along the lines of a player taking time to make something for a joke. someone says “let’s talk” and the other busts out a crafting table and crafts a stair so they can pretend to sit

i love minecraft guys :)
