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 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°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 90°F (32°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: 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.

GOP leaders want to vote this week to pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Act, so call your Senators NOW.

The bill, if passed, would cause widespread harm by making massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, gut climate protections and open public land to fossil fuel exploitation, restrict states from regulating AI for the next TEN YEARS, end gender-affirming care under Medicaid & CHIP, increase taxes on those who make less than $157k while giving massive tax cuts to the richest, tax breaks on gun silencers, defund planned parenthood, adds trillions to the national debt and billions to defense spending.

Call now! Spread the word.

Monstrous cock that's an immediate and irreversible threat. Begging them not to come inside or to fuck their arse instead because as soon as they come they'll be instantly bred, belly bulging large enough to stop them standing to flee

Tits growing painfully fast, milk dripping uncontrollably over their skin, sitting on top of their fat and aching stomach, overstimulated tears on their cheeks

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my family and how I was treated as a child, and honestly, my father has never seemed more amazing in my eyes.

I used to love Luigi(Mario's brother) when I was little. Like, he was my favorite character ever, and I had multiple plushies of him. Didn't give a fuck about Mario, vaguely tolerated Peach, but I loved Luigi.

On my first day of kindergarten, my dad gave me the number for his work phone and said it was Luigi's phone number. "If anything happens at school, call Luigi."And not even twenty minutes into my first day, I was having a panic attack. So I went down to the principal's office and called "Luigi."

Now, at the time, my father was in a meeting with his manager and his supervisor, along with most of his coworkers. And when I called, he picked up before he even left the room.

And he put on a very awful Italian accent and said, "Itsa me, Luigi! Whatsa the matter?"In front of his boss and coworkers. Without telling them what was going on. So they were absolutely bewildered, and he carried on like they didn't even exist. He only explained what was happening after I had calmed down and hung up, to which most of them responded with "Aww, cute."

I continued to call him whenever I got upset at school, and eventually his coworkers got in on it. I distinctly remember one of them impersonating Toad. I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just thought it might make you smile :)

this is so delightful I love your Luigi dad

Don’t you love him? I do 😭

NEVER GIVE UP

[biscuitdragonwithastick]

If anyone remembers the survey I put out last summer, I want to keep building on that this summer. Specifically, I want to go more in depth with interviews.

If anyone would be willing to take part in an in depth one-on-one discussion about their kinks (doesn't matter what kinks), please let me know. The interviews would be recorded and then transcribed. There are legal details I have to hammer out, a consent form mostly. Taking part would mean consenting to the possible publication of the transcripts (but not the recording), though any identifying details would be redacted and I'm thinking about letting interviewees go over the transcript after it's written and allowing them to censor anything they're too uncomfortable with (given the incredibly sensitive nature of the topics discussed).

The content of the interview would be an expanded version of the survey (when the kink emerged, what you think caused it, how it's changed over the years, roles and perspectives in sexual fantasies, etc.,) Again, since the topic being discussed is so sensitive, I'm thinking I'll send interviewees a list of my questions beforehand both so they can think about their answers and tell me if any of the subjects are a no-go.

I'm not a scientist, but I am working on my masters in an information science, and have experience working with recorded oral histories in the archives. I'm not just some schmuck on the internet, I am a professional who recognizes the legal, ethical, and privacy concerns surrounding this undertaking. There's a very real dearth of research on the subject of sexual preferences/kinks, and I know there's a lot of people in these communities who would also like to have a better understanding of these things. I hope to at the very least post a collection of these transcripts online so that others can read them and, I hope, feel less alone while cultivating a better understanding of themselves.

I don't know if anyone will be willing to take part. Again, I know how sensitive the topic is, but I'm really hoping some out there will see the worth in this project. Even if you aren't interested, I'd appreciate it if you can reblog this so it might reach someone who is.

If anyone is interested, please reach out to me at spkinterviews2025@proton.me

Episode 134: The Point of Unicorns

Everything you think you know about Unicorns is probably wrong. Or is it? What is the point of these creatures? Where do they come from? And what do they even look like? One thing is for sure, somehow capitalism is probably to blame.

As always, please come join the episode discussion on the Least Haunted Discord!

Enjoy the images below!

The Harappan Unicorn of Mohenjo Daro, ca. 2,500 BCE. The earliest depiction of a "Unicorn."

A "pendant" from Mohenjo Daro depicting the Unicorn Animal.

This seal depicts the Unicorn as a three headed chimera with an antelope, and a bull head. But illustrates the point that the Unicorn Animal is not a bull drawn in profile, since here we have two other two-horned animals in profile with two horns shown. c.a. 1,400 BCE.

A much later (late middle ages) depiction of a Unicorn based on a description given by the Greek physician and historian Ctesias. Ctesias lived in the 5th century BCE, and wrote of the Unicorns living in India. Possibly influenced by the Mohenjo Daro Unicorn Animal.

Early historians were pretty sure that the Unicorn or Monoceros in Greek, came from India. One particular description mentions that the unicorn has "feet like an elephant." and reports were consistent that unicorns were wild and untamable... You know what has one horn, feet "like an elephant" and is very wild and untamable? The Indian Rhinoceros.

Some early descriptions of Unicorns are definitely that of Rhinoceroses.

By the Middle Ages Unicorns are becoming more "horse-like" in description but one thing is constant, THEY DO NOT HAVE HORSE HOOVES! Their hooves are cloven like that of a goat or antelope. Or... As is the case in this 1572 painting by Maerten de Vos painting, the rhino/elephant feet of earlier descriptions.

The 1658 book, The History of Four-Footed Beasts by Howard Topsell, was a zoological encyclopedia that contained amongst entries on real animals, several "mythical" beasts as well. However at this time, many believed that Unicorns were real animals due to mistranslations of The Bible, which misconstrued the Hebrew word Re'em as meaning Unicorn. It doesn't, and as Sumerian cognate Rimu suggests, the animal described was actually the Aurochs, or wild ox.

The Cuneiform symbol for Rimu. The word translates to "Wild" or "Powerful" If drawn with the triangle point down it evokes the image of a Bull. (Wild aurochs have cleft hooves by the way…)

During the middle ages a market for Unicorn horns began. The Horn had supposed magical abilities like curing poison, or bestowing immortality. Unicorn Horns began showing up in royal and church collections. Many of these horns were procured from Danish sailors.

SURPRISE! MID EPISODE GARTH'S CORNER!

Meet the Narwhal! Narwhals are an arctic dwelling relative of the Beluga whale. Male narwhals have a single tusk that can grow up to six feet in length and are a secondary sex characteristic, which means it has a role in attracting a mate. Danish sailors hunted the Narwhal and sold the tusks to unsuspecting European nobility and clergy eager for a Unicorn Horn.

Also during the Middle Ages, it became known that the best way to catch a unicorn was to lure it in with a virgin girl. Apparently the horn is a heavy handed metaphor for the penis. (See Least Haunted Episode 107: The Dick Knight Rises)

Depictions of unicorn hunts become a recurring theme in Middle Ages art. The most noteworthy example being The Unicorn Tapestries a series of 7 large 10ftx10ft tapestries showing a unicorn hunt from start to finish. Possibly made to commemorate the marriage of King Louis XII of France in the late 1500's. It is filled with coded Christian iconography, since by this time the unicorn had also become a symbol of Christ. The hunt of the unicorn is meant to be a metaphorical telling of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to redeem the sins of the world.

This is the most famous tapestry from the series, number seven, The Unicorn in Captivity. Depicts a resurrected unicorn after the end of the hunt.

Throughout the many incarnations of Unicorns one thing was almost always constant, Unicorns were male. The Horn was meant to be a phallic image, and and unicorns came to be a symbol of the raw power of unbridled masculinity. All of that changed in 1968. In 1968 Peter S. Beagle published his book, The Last Unicorn, the titular character of which being a female unicorn. The book became a best seller and started the trend of linking unicorns to all things "Girly."

In 1982 the book was made into an animated film by the same studio that would later become Studio Ghibli. The film stars the voice talents of: Mia Farrow, Jeff Bridges, Alan Arkin, Christopher Lee, and Angela Lansbury, with music by the band AMERICA. (Note the cloven hooves!)

In the 1970s artist Lisa Frank began her career. Her rainbow colored unicorn artwork that was targeted specifically to girls did three things: 1) It swapped the gender of unicorns from a masculine symbol to a symbol of "Girl", 2) It introduced the rainbow colors that everyone presently expects when thinking of unicorns, and 3) It made a fuck ton of money.

The rainbow unicorn became the official logo of Lisa Frank, which in turn became a financial empire through the 1980s and 90s.

And copycats followed. Unicorns were now marketed specifically to girls. So successful was marketing that by the early 90s Unicorns also came to stand in for something else…

The gender transition of Unicorns from a masculine symbol to a feminine marketing juggernaut as well as the new found rainbow connection, really spoke to the queer community. Part of this was also the book The Last Unicorn as well. The feeling of being a rare "one of a kind" creature that many treat as mythical really spoke to the queer community. Also, would be remiss if I did not mention the 1985 film Legend, which is about Unicorns, and features Tim Curry as the embodiment of "Darkness" a role and costume which I have been told was the queer awakening for many...

The film also played with the old Maiden and Unicorn entrapment trope as well!

Today Unicorns are the second most ubiquitous "Mythical" creature next to Dragons. Cultural variants are many. They are also a marketing and capitalistic gold mine!

Used mostly to reinforce marketable gender roles unfortunately.

I, for one, am glad that the queer community can take Unicorns back to their wild roots, and reclaim the enigmatic, fluid, and strong imagery.

And lastly, have to shout out Enigma, and the 1990's cultural touchstone of the Pure Moods CD TV ads.

Oh to have a Piasa Bird lover who takes you to his next and fucks you until you’re a sobbing mess. Him rutting his cock in and out of you as he growls how humans have ruined his river, his home, and the least you can do is take his cock as the beginnings of a semblance of an apology.
