Do this picrew and take this uquiz.

I don't know how my result changed from last time I took the quiz... but I'm going to blame it on the fact that I picked Supernatural as my fandom, because that is a pretty good description of Dean Winchester. And I am just him. Although granted, not in any of the ways described. In all the bad ways.

Thank you for tagging me, @thehistoryone! I'm tagging @70snasagay, @randosfandos, @ven10, @thetreetzar, @cat-boy-tom, @weirdthoughtsandideas, and @roach-in-the-kitchen. Woo!

able-bodied people will claim to be disability activists and then they'll get pissed at you if you don't have the physical energy to respond 'timely'. or if you sleep a lot due to exhaustion. or if you can't get out much (or at all!) for an array of reasons. or if your hygiene isn't up to their standards because you can't wash yourself. or if you have 'inconvenient' allergies or dietary restrictions that they don't want to cater to. or if you're unemployed. or if you have a medical emergency that gets in the way of their plans (especially if you have to cancel last minute). or if you can't do any other 'normal' thing that is more difficult/impossible thanks to an array of disabilities because, get this, they are disabling. fuck that. disabled people don't owe the world an illusion of good health for the sake of the able-bodied. love disabled people without condition.

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 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.

happy Thursday the 20th

"It looks exactly like we left it."

All of it: the scattered scrolls Starflight abandoned, the broken stalactites from the struggles, the smoke signal that had long burned into ash.

Dune's body was gone; Glory didn't think about what happened to him.

Peril stepped in carefully after her, fumbling around errant scraps of paper. She brought a talon up to a torch in the wall, and it burst to life a moment later.

"It's... dreary." Peril's voice was slow, as if she was sounding out the word as she spoke it.

"That's one way of putting it! Six years wasted here. We ended up leaving because your mother was planning to kill me."

"Oh."

The following silence made Glory's stomach twist in a way she didn't feel like deciphering. She still didn't know how to talk to Peril, but perhaps that was just because she'd spoken to a total of seven dragons over the years. Peril was probably equally maladjusted.

She huffed out a breath, shaking out her wings before stooping to gather the scrolls. "Well, we're not going to get you reading by standing here. I don't want to spend any more time here than I have to."

That was why they were here, Glory reminded herself. Material to practice reading, to teach Peril some of what she'd been missing out on, maybe some kindling to vent her frustrations later.

She was already in the next room before Peril responded, voice so quiet Glory barely heard it.

"Thank you."

"I don't think it even knows we're here."

"Is it venomous?"

"I've lived under a rock most of my life, I wouldn't know."

...

"Do you think I could pick it up?"

"That doesn't sound safe."

"Hah, I'd like to see it try to hurt me."

...

...

"You know, I always thought you were a bit like a snake."

"I don't know, actually."

"You're a RainWing. Venomous teeth, slithery tail, and you move a bit like one. And you're dangerous and awesome and blazing, too."

...

"A cool snake, though. Not this one."

"Yeah, this guy's pretty lame, isn't he?"

...

"...What do you think he's do—moons, this is disgusting—hey! Stop laughing!—"
