#THIS WON'T BE YOU

[tackyink]

Reminders during the peak of summer but especially if you are somewhere hotter than where you usually live:

Avoid being outside the hours when the sun is the strongest, whenever those are. Here it's around 11:30 AM to 5 PM.

Always carry around a water bottle with you or be ready to dip into a grocery store/coffee shop/bar anytime to buy a cool drink. This is not the time to pinch pennies. Drink, eat and rest as many times as you need.

Walk in the shade.

Get a fan.

Get sunglasses and make sure they're good quality. Cheap sunglasses can act as a magnifying glass for sunrays.

No one will judge you for going inside of shops just for the AC.

Wide brimmed hats look nice but beware of windy days.

Caps are okay too but be careful with the back of your neck.

Optionally, a parasol can save you a lot of grief because it won't be an added source of heat on your head.

Dousing yourself with water while you're outside is acceptable, just be careful about sunburns and don't track water inside buildings.

Find somewhere shaded and sit down if you get dizzy or start seeing blinking lights. You're about to pass out. This is how heatstroke begins. Drink. Throw water on your head. Ask for help. It doesn't have to get worse, but worst case scenario you may need medical assistance.

Try to wear cotton, linen or viscose-like clothes. Avoid anything that's made of plastic.

The wider the clothes, the better. Let air circulate.

Counterintuitively, clothes that cover more skin can be cooler than wearing less clothes if you're standing in the sun.

You are overestimating how much radiation your skin can take before you go full lobster. Wear sunscreen.

No, you really are overestimating it. Wear more sunscreen.

I know it may look cloudy. I know the water at the beach feels cool and nice. Wear more sunscreen; you're still getting burnt.

You'll notice that locals don't follow many of these recommendations. They're 1) used to living like this and know their limits and 2) being stupid. They need sunscreen too, even if they're not getting red and toasty like you.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

people are always like "Oh a vampire wouldn't get horny while drinking someone's blood, that's like getting horny while eating a sandwich" and like man have you never had a really good fucking sandwich?

I am BEGGING younger drivers. drive carefully. give yourself room. for fuck's sake use your turn signals and don't fucking weave thru traffic. this is not a video game, this is real life and if you get into an accident, you could get killed or kill someone else VERY easily

Screw terfs n all but are you normal about transgirls who don't want to medically transition? Are you normal about transguys with boobs who don't wear binders? Are you normal about the trans people who only want to socially transition because that's what's right for them? Are you normal about the transgirls with beards? Are you normal about the transguys who love their curves? Screw terfs, but are you normal about trans people?

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

Must be a Sugondese joke.

i love graffiti. "comics and jazz are the only american art forms" you forgot graffiti. did you remember graffiti? That art form birthed in Philly and NYC in the early 70s by poor Black kids. that art form that spread all over the world and influenced so many. that's used without irony in commercials when they're trying to appeal to a "young urban" customer.

did you forget graffiti? that racism broken windows theory victim? that reach the establishment takes claiming that it's exclusively violent gang members throwing up those full-color pieces and wildstyle tags in the middle of the night outsmarting fifty security cameras because the billboard was ugly anyway. as if, even if it was, it wouldn't be impressive as all hell. risking brutality and fall damage so your art can occupy the space a gentrified condo named something like "Coluumna" took away from you. proving that despite only assholes affording to live here anymore there's still a soul beneath it. an animal with dripping stripes and teeth that go clack-clack tsssss

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

whenever you and satoru have an argument, he holds your hand and he won’t let go until he’s certain you’re not mad anymore. you’re telling him off because he forgot to unpack the dishwasher again, and he knows that’s his fault and you have a right to be mad but he hates when you’re mad and even worse when you’re mad at him, so he does the first thing that comes to mind and laces your hands together. now you can’t leave and be mad at him alone, you have to be mad at him while he’s connected to you and satoru has learned that that far reduces the amount of time you spend mad at him. getting upset because he led you two in the wrong direction? holding hands until you’ve cooled down. upset with him for being reckless mid-fight? he drops his infinity just to be close to you, holds your hand and tells you the curse can wait, he needs your forgiveness more. mad at him because he forgot something important on his way home? you’re holding hands until you forgive him—which could be all the way until you go to bed, or dragging you by your connected hands with him to the store to pick up what was forgotten. you get irritated with him in public? he’s quick to hold your hands and beg for kisses. sometimes the first years see you steaming and satoru following you like a lovesick puppy, his leash being your laced fingers and megumi just sighs and explain to yuuji and nobara that, “they’re fighting. this is their get along tactic, just leave them be.”
