Since there’s that huge heat wave that’s about to fuck up like 3/4 of the US, I’d like to stand on my soapbox for a second. I’m not a doctor, I’ve just lived somewhere with summer temps over 110 for most of my life.

Obviously, the best thing to do during a heat wave is STAY INDOORS. Of course, that’s not always possible.

Get a couple washcloths, or rags, or old shirts you don’t care about. Get them nice and damp. If you wanna get fancy with it, throw some essential oils on them. Who cares. The important thing is that they are WET. Next step, fold them into rectangles (so they hold the coldness longer!) and put them in their own zippy bag or an old grocery bag or whatever. Doesn’t matter, just don’t let them freeze in a clump. ANY TIME YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, GRAB A FROZEN RAG. Drape it on the back of your neck. Dab yourself like a fancy Victorian lady. Do whatever helps. One of my friends keeps them in her bra. Whatever works!

Windows. They let heat in. Blackout curtains help a lot, but they’re not magic. Get a nice thick blanket (not a comforter, too heavy) or fold up some sheets. Pin or nail your blanket/sheets above your window like dorm curtains. Block that heat OUT!

HYDRATE. Everyone says it because it’s TRUE. Dehydration sucks. Heat stroke sucks more. Learn the symptoms and what to do if it happens to you or someone else. On that note…

Replenish those electrolytes! It’s gonna be hot. You’re gonna sweat a LOT. If you’re chugging water and not replenishing your electrolytes, you can actually have a heart attack. Even if you don’t have a heart attack, you can still faint (medical emergency, especially in the heat!) or best case scenario, feel like garbage. Pedialyte is nasty but it works. Sports drinks, sure whatever. Those little pouches of powder that you add? Whatever you like. If you don’t have any of those, eat something salty while you drink your water.

Genderflux but with a catch: "boyflux" feels too small and "manflux" feels too big.

be sure to work on your Mistake Tolerance!

shitty ass people may have made you feel like every single mistake you make is somehow a catastrophe

which can cause your tolerance for your own mistakes to be super super small!

and thus you have no coping skills whenever you do indeed inevitably fuck up

you need a game plan for life! mistakes will happen and the word isn't going to end over it!

so be sure to work on increasing your tolerance for your own mistakes so it's not as distressing

i hope you may heal from the traumas that "don't count", the traumas that don't seem bad enough to you to be traumas, the traumas you hide from everyone else.

Happy pride month to fellow systems with "it's complicated" genders and orientations.

To those who say "fuck it" and simplify it down, and to those who say "fuck it" and hoard as many labels as possible.

To those with some alters who love labels and others who wish to be unidentified or use umbrella terms.

To systems who've collectively transitioned or had their orientations change because of their systemhood.

Happy pride!

🩵: Magic and Art. What's something creative you've done involving systemhood?

My headmate Psi tried a new technique in drawing! I don't like rendering, I prefer comics style without shading. But he decided to try almost no line and a lot of rendering and blending! It took 8 hours, and it was beautiful! And he was doing it only when he was fully fronting.

I also try drawing comics with situations that happen to us. I might resume it when exams are done.

💜: Serenity. What brings your system peace?

Hm... I think it's loneliness.

Don't get me wrong. I just live with my parents and they like commenting on almost everything I do.

So staying alone at home actually feels like a blessing. We can do whatever weird stuff we want, we can take as much time as we need without worrying abot slowness... Free of the feeling of being constantly controlled, seen and heard.

Dear Anaxagoras

Black tide

It takes all

From an eye to a soul

From your mind to your bones

From my past to my thoughts

Silence is golden

Time is a jewel

But I will keep talking

Because I am cruel

To you

Black tide

It took all

Your sister, your home

My body, my soul

World's sleep, world's earth

Era's past, era's warmth

Why reading this?

Why wasting your time

On a worthless writing

Of mine?

I waste precious air of this burning world

To ask you one more philosophical question

"What exactly makes soul of a human immortal?"

I'm happy to see you express mild perplexion

You will sigh, you will scoff, you will look away

Because I keep asking from very first day

"What is a mind without human soul?

What is a human with no soul at all?"

I like to annoy you with my mere existence

And yet you surprise me with your strange persistence

You look in my guts, you look for a soul

In the man who's nothing more than a fool

I'm disgusting

Distorted

Broken

Lost

And you're dying

Deserted

Forsaken

Used

Dear friend,

I was shamelessly wasting your time

On a question with answer that no one can find

Till the end

Everyone went to sleep. Only I stayed so late.

The whole place was dark. I did everything in darkness and quietness. I sneaked quietly from room to room to get to the bathroom.

No one woke up.

No one would know how comfortable I felt in the darkness.
