100% agree. What I as an individual do does so little to cause climate change but what corporations do is becoming rapidly irreversible. They don't want to take responsibility. I know this heat is brutal. We just bought AC for our condo because we were suffering. We would spend all summer lethargic, with headaches, decreased appetite. Sometimes I would just sleep in order to pass time because I couldn't cope with how hot it was. I would love to get a heat pump when we get a house but they are very expensive. It's just unreasonable to tell someone that it's okay to suffer. That no, you can go without something that makes your life and health better.
-my two cents ❤️❤️
For the past few days, a heatwave has glowered over the Pacific Northwest, forcing temperatures in the region to a record-breaking 118ºF. Few people in the region—neither Americans nor Canadians—have air-conditioning. Stores sold out of new AC units in hours as a panicked public sought a reasonable solution to the emergency. Unfortunately, air-conditioning is part of what’s causing the unusual heatwave in the first place.
We came close to destroying all life on Earth during the Cold War, with the threat of nuclear annihilation. But we may have come even closer during the cooling war, when the rising number of Americans with air conditioners—and a refrigerant industry that fought regulation—nearly obliterated the ozone layer. We avoided that environmental catastrophe, but the fundamental problem of air conditioning has never really been resolved.
Mechanical cooling appeared in the early 1900s not for comfort but for business. In manufacturing, the regulation of temperature—“process cooling”—controlled the quality of commodities like cotton, tobacco, and chewing gum. In 1903, Alfred Wolff installed the first cooling system for people at the New York Stock Exchange because comfortable traders yielded considerably higher stock returns. Only in the ’20s did “commercial cooling” appear. On Memorial Day weekend 1925, Willis Carrier debuted the first centrifugal air-conditioning system at the Rivoli Theater in Midtown Manhattan. Previously, theaters had shut down in the summer. With air-conditioning, the Rivoli became “the talk of Broadway” and inaugurated the summer blockbuster.
-another direct tie to capitalism. Everything born out of colonio-capitalism carries its toxic mark. Article totally not under the cut for those who can’t pay for Time. It honestly paints a really clear picture of the situation. Bolding mine.-
“It’s time we become more comfortable with discomfort. Our survival may depend on it.“

Hey everyone! I absolutely hate doing this, but because I’m an animal lover I thought I would try. A few years ago, my sister mercy-adopted this elder doggo. His name is Arnie, and he as overcome a LOT of obstacles in his hard life. He was adopted by my sister after having been left half-starving at a farm where his former owner had become too frail to take care of him. Since then, my sis and her partner have been trying to give him his best life during the sunset years he has left.
Recently, he’s developed some very painful and infectious cysts that can be removed, but that have blown through most of my sister’s animal care budget (mostly due to the insane cost of living, recently.. she has another animal that requires a lot of medical care as well.) He needs 1800$ CAD for a surgery that would really help him live out the rest of his life with a lot less pain.
To be clear, my sis has no idea I’m doing this, and is very uncomfortable asking for help, but because she’s such a generous soul to animals, I wanted to see if we could help get her some donations for Arnie. He’s a good boi, and he’s come very far.
So if you’d like to donate to my KoFi today to help out, I can promise you a sticker of your choosing. It’s not much, but I’m insanely grateful for any help you might be able to give.
Thanks in advance for your patience with this, and thanks even, for reading.

Fandom PSAs
Dont’ Like, Don’t Read
or DL; DR
You are responsible for curating your own online experience.
If something upsets you, makes you angry or queasy or triggers you, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid things that might make you feel that way.
Learn to use the Sort and Filter function on AO3, especially the Exclude tools.
On social media, block and mute accounts / tags / words when necessary.
If you hated something, you don’t need to tell that to the creator or start pointing fingers at them publicly.
The Back button is free. Use it.
Addendum:
Yes, for this to work, creators need to tag their works accordingly, so that people know what sort of content they are about to engage with and can nope out if necessary.
I will probably make another PSA about the importance of proper tagging later.
Ship And Let Ship
or SALS
You are allowed to ship whatever you want.
Everyone else is also allowed to ship whatever they want.
You are entitled to dislike or even hate a ship. If you want to do this online, in public, don’t use the ship tags for hate posts.
If you see someone posting about a ship they like and you don’t, there is no need for you to start arguing with them in their replies / comments / QRTs / reblogs. Don’t throw your hate in their face.
Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove.
All of this also applies to liking / disliking an individual character.
Addendum:
”I agree with this, except when…”
No, then you are NOT agreeing with this.
Let me make this VERY clear. There are NO exceptions. None.
You don’t EVER harass real people over pixels.
If you disagree with this, kindly block and move on.
Your Kink Is Not My Kink
or YKINMK / YKINMKATO
The longer version is ”Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That’s Okay”.
People have different tastes. Not everything is for everybody.
Even if you don’t like a specific kink, other people are still allowed to use it in their creations.
You are entitled to dislike kinky content and think that it’s ”weird”.
Don’t kink shame or judge people based on their kinks.
This goes both ways: your kink is not someone else’s kink, so don’t push it onto those who are not into it.
Be Kind
or Don’t Be An Asshole
Focus on the things you like instead of the things you hate.
Create and unite instead of destroying and dividing.
Don’t harass real people over fictional things.
Stop stirring up petty drama just to get some attention on social media.
Stop trying to ”win”. Fandom is not a competition.
Remember that your own experiences aren’t universally shared. Your perception of things can differ from someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean either of you is necessarily wrong.

Don’t Add Fanfiction To Your Goodreads Shelf
Hi folks, I know some of you like to use Goodreads to track all your reading and don’t want to distinguish between books and fanfiction.
I am, however, begging you not to do this. It is extremely jarring and disconcerting to be a fic author and find your works somewhere in the wild where you did not personally put them. Fics are not books, are not published in the same way as books, and exist in a precarious legal space.
Please don’t attempt to elide the separation that exists between fandom and the world of official publishing.

Its Sunday! we’ve now made it to the end of the weekend so to make the pain of going back to the real world and little less, here’s one more fic😘
Inevitable You by Red_City - (Rating: Mature, Words: 22261, sterek)
“I’m Derek’s mate,” Stiles gets out, breathing hard. There is silence in the room.
As he looks around, he realizes that everyone else knew.
Signed, Sealed, Delivered by TheVoiceofWrath (meet_your_fate) - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 20653, sterek)
Derek’s soul isn’t worth anything. Can’t be, right? Not after everything. It’s an easy decision for him, then, to offer it up in exchange for his sister’s life.
If only the demon he makes the deal with weren’t so intent on hanging around until Derek’s contract is up…
Cursed Playlist by drunkunicorn - (Rating: G, Words: 1672, sterek)
And then there it is. Almost at the bottom of his playlist list with a simple wolf emoji. Stiles lets out a breath that is supposed to signify amusement and opens it. No description, no cover, just a wolf emoji and 5-hour play time. He looks through the songs and feeling slightly better than before clicks on a song he doesn’t recognize.
It starts slow, the voice is quiet and slightly whiny, piano in the background that almost makes Stiles cry again. So, he lets it play. And then another. And then another. And then he recognizes one of the songs that started this whole thing, and it just clicks for him.
Derek.
No Putting a Werewolf Off Your Scent by nakatas_cat - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 3811, sterek)
Stiles forgets his Adderall. Derek’s affected.
show you what all that howl is for. by doctorkaitlyn - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 21847, sterek)
It’s been months since he first touched Derek, when he affirmed that he was real and not going anywhere, but the fact still hasn’t really set in. Truthfully, he doesn’t know if it ever will. He thinks (and hopes) that, for the rest of his life, he is going to be continually surprised (and thankful) that someone so wonderful is in his life, and all it took to find him was for his dog to run away.
(or the one with shameless domestic fluff, where everyone is happy and everybody owns a dog.)
The Power of Pumpkin Magic by princecharmingwinks - (Rating: T, Words: 1893, sterek)
“If you don’t want money, I’ll buy you a pie. I just need you to be my boyfriend for the next five minutes."
—
Stiles just thought it was another day of working on his thesis at his favourite bookshop. What he didn’t count on was the power of pumpkin magic.
Sharing Food by aussiebee - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 9564, sterek)
"Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.” ― M.F.K. Fisher
Or
Derek is pretty much absorbed into the Stilinski family, one meal at a time.
Softly by IntoTheAbyssWeGo - (Rating: Explicit, Words: 25217, sterek)
What’s Stiles supposed to do when he hears someone crying in the bathroom stall? Comfort them, of course! Too bad he never found out who they were. On a completely unrelated note, why is Derek Hale staring at him? No matter what Scott says, Stiles is sure he didn’t do anything to piss the most popular boy at school off!…. At least he’s pretty sure…
Hic Sunt Hormones by KaliopeShipsIt - (Rating: G, Words: 9570, sterek)
Five times Derek and Stiles didn’t pregnancy so well - and one time they did.
Nothing You Could Say by SylvieW - (Rating: Mature, Words: 13606, sterek)
Stiles’ second year of college is not working out as he planned. He rarely sees Scott, his job is exhausting, and to get home after his shift, he has to walk at three in the morning. Nearly getting mugged is the icing on the cake, but luckily a gruff stranger is there to rescue him. But now Stiles can’t seem to shake the feeling that he’s not alone in the dark.
