The difference between dry heat from my hometown and the soggy wet heat of Britain is dry heat doesn't make me angry

Dry heat at 98°F/37°C- *sitting in some some shade and have a cold drink and it's unpleasant but tolerable. Dressed in shirt and shorts* oof it's a kinda hot today. Some ice cream would be nice

Humid heat 77°F/25°C- *standing in the shade, sopping wet from sweat and wearing a wet cloth on my head in a move to not die and wearing only boxer shorts and a home made crop top* Im gonna kill the sun or die trying

Why does British heat act like it’s life goal to to suffocate everyone. I can’t sleep yet I’m half asleep all the time and I wake up sweating and panting. It’s not gonna get any better at school where we don’t have AC because they hate us. Literally why I actually hate British heat. “It’s not even that bad try 40°C+” I HAVE! I have LIVED in 40°C+ environments and I can say with 100% certainty that British summers are the most excruciating experience. I would not wish this on anyone.

I keep seeing people from like. the South of the US making fun of British summer and saying we're weak and don't know real heat. and I keep defending brits bc like there is no AC, buildings are built to amplify and insulate heat, and its an island so its humid as hell. its truly miserable. but I'm starting to want to visit somewhere hot in the US during summer so I can get an actual comparison, bc what the hell it can't be That much worse

I may have had to take to my bed like a Victorian woman earlier today because I had heat exhaustion. We are too frail and delicate for this heat.

Vettonso complaining about each other not respecting schrondinger's track limits on the radio compilation + Seb's commentary that made me a bit feral

Must include these sexy ass pics okay, it makes me feral how hard they race each other.

Also SO upset that we got this vid and there's also pictures(and presumably a vid out there somewhere) of Fernando, back then, ALSO debriefing this race. And yet we never got them together?????? Evil. Fucked up.

Imagine seeing them complaining about each other but also having to (begrudgingly if you're Fernando) compliment each other IN FRONT of each other. Maybe its a good thing it doesn't exist, bcs then I'd have a heart attack.

Advocates are calling for more regulation around maximum temperatures in rental housing units. Some municipalities in B.C. have mandated minimum temperatures in rental homes but there are no existing rules for maximum heat levels. Following the heat dome in 2021, when more than 600 people died, extreme heat events have become a health issue as well as a housing one. Emily Rogers, the director of operations with Together Against Poverty, said it is time to look at how hot it has to be before a landlord must install something to keep the heat down. “The burden of action should be on the landlord in terms of equal temperatures,” she said, adding that could mean providing an air conditioner or fans. “At the end of the day, it’s the landlord’s responsibility to provide a home that ‘s safe — and that includes extreme heat.”

what is it about a climate crisis happening in one part of the world that has people in a different part of the world with a different climate pattern going “oh that? that’s normal for us, don’t be a baby.” yeah that’s why it’s called climate change. if it was a normal climate pattern for them, then there’s no crisis because there’s no climate change.

"You've been here for years now, how is this hot for you still?"

I really love making these little summer drawings ask for ones you want 🙏

It is not like they do not consistently have chocolate week during the hottest times of the summer. The heat has always been an issue during chocolate week. So it’s not like it’s a surprise. You are telling me after over a DECADE, they haven’t modified the tent to make it bearable?!! You have not put in measures for the BAKERS OWN COMFORT?!

It is at this point that it is jeopardizing their health!

Put in fans, put in air conditioning, give the bakers WATER, allow them to REST. Modify the challenges to account for this temperature inside the tent.

PUT THE BAKERS SAFETY FIRST.

I should not be seeing bright red bakers and bakers on the verge of fainting!

Bake Off HAS THE FUNDS!

Take some of the money off of Paul and Prue’s paychecks and MODIFY THE FUCKING TENT.

Because I betchu that in the hottest days of the year, Paul and Prue are not feeling that heat one iota. They are in their trailers or inside a building and cool as a fucking cucumber.

Don’t deprive the bakers of that same accommodation.

To do otherwise after thirteen fucking years is perpetual, intentional negligence.

If you were to look at the languages of Asia and Europe, you would see that many languages' word for tea is something like chai (Mandarin/Korean/Portuguese cha, Persian/Russian/Turkish chay, etc). It is repetitive to say "chai tea", even if chai does refer to a specific kind of tea. There is enough of a consistent difference between French tea and American or British tea to denote when tea is French, but nobody thinks thé tea is a legitimate phrase, and nobody would naturally think to use the phrase. There are people that see the French word thé's immediate linguistic proximity to the English word tea and recognize the redundancy there, but Francophones are also generally believed when they acknowledge a poor use of their language. Just because chai's linguistic proximity to the English word tea is less apparent to those who don't consider the presence of exchange between European and Asian languages doesn't mean chai tea isn't not repetitive and dismissive to Indians criticisms on Americans' use of the word chai

your bio says you’re southeast asian so I’m not going to tell you you can’t be critical of foreigners’ use of a word from your region. But also anything I could say to defend my (really harmless I think??) take on chai as a loan word is overshadowed by the fact that it’s now been two days of people reacting to that post and I’m tired. Many words enter other languages for various reasons and the way that other language folds them into itself is shaped by quirks of grammar, human communication, and that word’s purpose in its new language, not conscious disrespect. All languages have loan words in them that are used in ways that seem “strange” or “wrong” to native speakers of the language that word came from.

But I will say that I do not implicitly respect the French, and also if anyone asked me to make them “French style tea” I’d have no idea what they meant.
