Happy Holidays, my friends! The cheery holiday season is upon us and I’ve compiled a list of links to some of my favorite Christmas related cartoons episodes! From Rick and Morty to Ren and Stimpy, Ed Edd N Eddy to Futurama, The Powerpuff Girls to Adventure Time and more!

All these holiday episodes are uploaded in high quality to Google Drive - that means no ads or viruses!  If you’re looking for a laugh, a bit of 90′s nostalgia, or just help surviving this holiday season then this list is for you! (insp)

The thing about how horrifyingly, lethally hot this summer is (across basically the entire northern hemisphere) is that yes, it is, and yet if I live for another 60 years maybe 40 of them are going to be hotter than this one. Maybe even that’s optimistic. Any acknowledgement of how bad it is right now is inseparable from the realisation that it not only can be worse, but absolutely will be worse.

I’m not saying anyone should be panicking, but I am saying that as a society, as a planet, we ought to be pouring resources into finding ways to keep people alive under these unprecedented conditions; it’s going to be one of the major public health and civil engineering challenges of this century, and we can see it coming. Yet instead, because capitalism, what we are in effect doing is pouring resources into finding ways to make these conditions worse.

That’s not acceptable.

Little tribute to tonight’s ultimate BLOOD MOON ECLIPSE (oh and Mars will glow brightly too I guess) We’ll have the longest moon eclipse of the 21. century and I really hope I’ll get to see it! The darkest period of the blood moon will be around 22:22 ( 10:22 pm CEST) 

That number is so ridiculous that it wouldn’t surprise me if anybody is planning on doing some satanic rituals tonight to open the gates to hell. (But looking at the wild fires in Europe, they already seem to be open, so if anybody would have the decency to close them again tonight, that would be great, thanks 👌)

They opened the Black Sarcophagus! Unfortunately it did not unleash a world destroying curse, nor did it contain Alexander the Great’s body.

It did, however, contain something pretty damn weird.

[thebirdroads]

Imagine that you and your family die at the same time and are buried in the same coffin, in what I’m sure are completely ordinary and not suspicious circumstances, and then over the centuries sewage continually seeps into your shared coffin and then you are dug up thousands of years after your death, everyone opens the coffin, goes “gross, and also kinda lame” and that’s it

[mchngrls]

There are now more than 90 people dead. You can bitch and whine that’s it’s hotter where you are, but you have to understand that it’s the elderly, homeless and small children who don’t have air conditioning and are susceptible to health problems. How fucking despicable can you be to just laugh at people dying because temperatures are hotter where you are. Our infrastructure was built to withstand -30 C°, not the heat. It’s not about how Canadians are “weak”, it’s literally just shitty circumstances.

[rifa]

Not to mention that people who are accustomed to cold climates have a physically more difficult time coping with temperatures that their bodies aren’t used to. Also a lot of people who have never had to cope with hotter temperatures aren’t as familiar with heat exhaustion or heat stroke, don’t know how to manage the heat safely , etc!

[spectralarchers]

That last point.

Denmark is currently in its hottest summer ever recorded, and the number of people I’ve talked to who have only now discovered what a heat stroke is amazes me, because I grew up in the South of France where summers are hot as fuck every year - my brother-in-law went out for a bike ride without a hat and with a half a liter of water for three hours and came back and was sick because of it. 

The idea that he’d get sick because of the sun didn’t even OCCUR to him, because in his 30+ years on this green ball swirling through space, it’s never been an issue for him.

In the South of France, most cafés have mist sprayers and all shops / malls are air-conditioned. In Denmark, most cafés do NOT have mist sprayers (but heat lights!) and the shops are not always air-conditioned.

Most of the warehouses have been out of portable air-conditioners and fans on an off since May because people are hot and have no air-condition installed. The buildings are built to keep heat IN. Not out.

[snooziep]

No air con, buildings designed to keep heat in, not even ceiling fans, no drinking fountains, windows that don’t open in buildings, and we expect people to work in those buildings, in their full uniform which has no ‘hot weather’ option - I mean what employer is going to provide short sleeves and shorts for that one week every three years where it gets above 25/80 degrees? - windows that don’t open on public transport, and often no shade while waiting for said public transport, we have heaters and insulation and draft excluders, we buy black cars and dark clothes, we buy sunscreen for our holidays in Spain, then forget where we put it, when we find it and apply it we sweat it off again because we’re not used to the heat, we walk places rather than drive and even if we drove, our cars don’t have proper air con and we don’t have covered parking, school playgrounds and public parks have no shade, people don’t have pools so kids play out all summer in the heat. We don’t have ‘American style’ large fridges or freezers with ice makers and they break down when competing with hotter than usual ambient temperature, most of us don’t even own cool boxes - or if we do it’s at the back of the shed full of spiders.

So yes, we have to be told it’s going to be hot. And we have to be warned to check our elderly neighbours and to help them take the blankets off their bed or to swap to a summer duvet, to suggest they have a cold drink instead of a pot of tea and take off their cardigan.

Because we only know people who got sunstroke on their holidays abroad.

And we have never in our lives known anyone who died from the heat.

[katsdisturbed]

To anybody who thinks it’s funny when people die, you can go fuck off a tall bridge. 

I live in Phoenix. It’s going to be 115F/46C degrees today. This is nothing unusual for this time of year. And yet every year we lose people to the heat. I can’t imagine what super temps must be like when you are not used to it. England, Quebec, and most of Europe’s home were designed to keep heat in. Not let it out. So instead of giggling like evil children over someone else’s horror, try being a little more understanding at the very least of what they are going through.

Advice from a lifelong desert dweller to my overheated friends up north (or anywhere not accustomed to the fires of Hell):

Drink A LOT of water. And I mean A LOT. If you think you’ve had enough, you haven’t. Drink more. Or drink Gatorade, Poweraide, hell, even juice. Just avoid hot drinks and alcohol.

Feeling dehydrated? Do NOT chug anything. Chugging will make it worse, and you might throw up, which will make it worse.

If you’re dehydrated, drink ROOM TEMPERATURE or slightly cooler drinks. Do NOT drink ice cold drinks, you will get sick.

Soda isn’t great, but it’s honestly better than nothing. Please drink soda if it’s the only option, at least you’ll still get slightly hydrated.

AVOID ALCOHOL. I cannot stress this enough. Alcohol will make you much sicker, much faster.

Avoid high sodium consumption. Salt dehydrates you. If you must eat salt, drink plenty of water.

Try to invest in handheld fans and misters. Definitely get a decent sunhat. Invest in sunscreen.

Buy an extra reusable water bottle. Fill it with water and refrigerate it. When you finish one bottle, swap and repeat.

Limit your time outside as much as possible. Heatstroke is fatal and can happen fast.

Take cool showers or baths if possible. If nothing else, cool clothes on neck and forehead.

Take some time to look up homemade ice packs and make a few. They can be a great asset if you need to cool down quickly. Again, forehead and neck.

Pets need a lot of water when it’s hot. Also, consider trimming any critters with long fur so they can stay cool.

If you can, get box fans and place them in strategic locations. Place one facing your bed and drape a damp towel over it at night. Make sure it’s not dripping onto any electrical outlets or cords. The damp towel can help cool down a room.

Rest as much as possible. Drink water while resting.

Seriously, I cannot stress this enough. Drink A LOT of water. If you can’t stand water, drink a sports drink or juice. Even soda is better than nothing. Just STAY HYDRATED.

If you feel clammy, dizzy/faint, a faint but rapid pulse, or you’re sweating excessively, find shade, sit, rest, sip water. You may have heat exhaustion. Ask someone to get you a damp cloth.

If you’re hot but not sweating, have a rapid, strong heartbeat, feel nauseous or faint, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. You may have heatstroke. Heatstroke can be fatal.

Take care of yourselves. This is not a joke. Heat can be fatal.

Japan heatwave declared natural disaster as death toll mounts

Japan's weather agency has declared a heatwave sweeping the country a natural disaster, with at least 65 deaths recorded in the past week.

An agency spokesman warned that “unprecedented levels of heat” were being seen in some areas.

More than 22,000 people have been taken to hospital with heat stroke, nearly half of them elderly, officials say.

On Monday, the city of Kumagaya reported a temperature of 41.1C (106F), the highest ever recorded in Japan.

The heatwave shows no sign of abating, forecasters say.

In central Tokyo, temperatures over 40C were also registered for the first time.

The Japan Meteorological Agency warned that temperatures of 35C or higher would continue until early August.

“We are observing unprecedented levels of heat in some areas,” spokesman Motoaki Takekawa said, adding that the heatwave was “a threat to life and we recognise it as a natural disaster”.

In Ibaraki prefecture, north of Tokyo, a 91-year-old woman was found collapsed in a field and later pronounced dead in hospital. In nearby Saitama two elderly women were found dead in their homes.

With less than half of Japan’s public schools equipped with air conditioning, government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said the summer holidays could be extended to protect pupils.

“As a record heatwave continues to blanket the country, urgent measures are required to protect the lives of schoolchildren,” he told a news conference on Tuesday.

The public is being advised to drink plenty of water, to use air conditioning and to rest often.

People in some cities have taken part in an event known as uchimizu, or “water ceremony” - pouring or sprinkling cold water on to the hot pavements in an attempt to cool them.

The heatwave closely followed torrential rain that caused severe flooding and landslides in the west of Japan.

Where else has experienced severe heat?

Greece is in the grip of deadly wildfires as soaring temperatures continue across much of Europe

In Sweden at least one person has been killed and dozens more injured by forest fires. Hot weather and persistent drought have seen wildfires raging as far north as the Arctic Circle

Neighbouring Norway experienced its hottest May temperatures on record and has also suffered forest fires

Parts of the UK are also experiencing a prolonged heatwave and the government has issued a “heat-health watch” alert in the east and south-east of England

Cities across eastern Canada suffered a deadly heatwave in early July, with at least 70 deaths in Quebec province alone

If only we knew what was likely causing these extreme weather conditions. I guess scientists are too busy wasting time and money on fake research to figure it out. idk
