really whats interesting to me is that if u stay involved in a fandom long enough u get an evolution of scrolling from: ooh! - ooh! - ooh! - OH i didn't realise this was a trope - ooh! - OH - ooh! - ooh!!
to smth more like: read that - read that - oh LOOK it's my mutual - omg that one looks SO GOOD i love the trope subversion - wrote that - read that - oh my friends have been screaming about this one - wrote that - oh LOOK it's my mutual - read that - FRESH MEAT LETS GO SAY HELLO and its
SO beautiful and joyous. being a member of a community is fun!!!!! being so familiar with a tiny corner of the internet is fascinating!!!!! seeing the connections between yourself and other people is crazy cool!!!! we're all here on the web page together!!!! i see you and i love you!!!!!!

That is super fucking unsafe. Genuinely, first step, talk to someone in charge. I'd start collecting evidence, pictures of thermostats, any conversations with that team where they refuse to turn of the heat, ect. Get something to show for the fact that this is super unsafe.
Also, go to someone above the facilities team that can get them to knock that shit off. If you have a Union, go there, they will fight for you to have better working conditions. If not, HR is another option, upper management, ect. Make this their problem, and chances are they might help you take care of it.
If not, then this sounds like something you can cause legal trouble for. This is where that evidence comes in. I did some quick searching, OSHA does have specific heat related guidelines. I'm pretty sure they also have anonymous reporting and representative contacts on their website. Go to them, they will go to bat for you.
However, that all might take some time. Therefore, some day to day some desert dweller tips:
Cold drinks. Hydrate hydrate hydrate, you get dehydrated a lot faster than you think in the heat, and more water helps cool you down via sweat. Other drinks are good too, smoothies, tea, ect, helps lower your temperature.
Cover windows if you can. Close the blinds, pull the curtains, hang up towels and blankets if you need. Keep that greenhouse effect to a minimum.
If your windows open, something I've heard of people doing is putting damp, cold cloths over open windows. Helps cool a breeze coming in, which could help cool the room.
Light, loose clothing. Tank tops and shorts are always a recommend, and keeping them loose gives you more airflow for cooling.
Stick some wet towels in the freezer. That way, you can wrap them around your neck later. There's arteries there, cooling those down will get you cooler the fastest.
A continuation, if you have a light jacket/button up, throw that in the freezer too. Once its cold, crunch it up enough to be able to put it on. Can do it with tank tops/shirts as well, but in a workplace setting, a really light cover shirt/jacket might be best.
Get a fan if you can. Circulating air is always helpful. Any type of portable fan can help, even if its from home.
Unplug anything that isn't necessary. Electricity can cause a lot of heat output, (Thats why server rooms need to have A/C's otherwise they overheat). If there are things you can unplug, I'd recommend, even if it only helps a little.
Run your hair under cool water. Keeps your head cold, and some of that water will run off instead of sweat, keeping you cold without loosing as much water yourself.

Saw this in my weather news. Seriously, y'all, I beg of you to take care of yourself and those around you in these hellish days.
@thatdisasterauthor This feels up your alley, any tips on dealing with extreme heat?

Okay but hear me out. Linked Universe but instead of like, actual LoZ games its just a bunch of our LU Link OC's doing their own stupid adventure together. The "B-Team" if you will.
Its still drawn in a comic style, except either A: Everyone passes around a save file, or B (More Appealing) : Whiteboard Fox or Magma or some shared art website and everyone just does it together. Terrible mish-mash of art styles but it would be so fun
IDK. I just think we all should play with our dolls together more

Cohabitation is vacuuming up that mf and dumping it outside so you can watch that Daddy Long-Leg skitter to freedom, all while whimpering and crying like a little bitch

A little continuation, or, more like a prequel to this comic?
I've imagined this could be Donnie's first strategy. ... He just didn't expect that Casey would go further with questions.
