Spoonie tips for a softer summer

As the weather (hopefully) warms up and we begin to head into summer, it is a good time to take a little extra care of ourselves. Here in the UK the weather can be a little unpredictable, ranging from “apocalyptic” storms to blistering heat.

A large part of what makes this weather so dramatic is that we have houses that are primarily designed to keep out the rain, rather than the heat (or on some occasions snow) – so anything outside of a very narrow comfort band and the whole system tends to fall over.

I have always struggled with the heat, even before I became disabled. I’d often catch a touch of the sun on archaeological digs with the university many years back. Nowadays, as I am far less mobile (and can no longer do digs), you would think that I would struggle less.

After all, I am inside most of the time – so in theory, it should be cooler, right? Unfortunately, that doesn’t stop the sun from turning my room into an oven (see: houses designed to keep out rain, not heat).

Frankly, there are days when I genuinely wonder if I could rent out my room as a sauna …but I digress.

So today, I wanted to share a few practical summer self-care ideas that have helped me learn to manage the hot weather as a spoonie.

Self-care ideas:

Keep hydrated. It is very important to stay hydrated in hotter weather (although within reason). Heat exhaustion can happen even in gloomy countries like the UK, and some meds – like Amitriptyline in my case – can make it worse. My big tip is to keep water close by and take regular sips.

Keep cool. Heat exhaustion is nothing to laugh at – it can be very serious indeed if you don’t take steps to treat it. Try and stay as cool as you can, maybe moving to cooler rooms in the house. As heat rises, I like to escape to the lounge in the mornings which is both downstairs and west facing, making it absolutely freezing most of the day (perfect for heatwaves). Wet shirts and cold compresses can also help you cool down – if it is safe for you to use them. Many mini-USB fans are also surprisingly powerful for their size (so long as you don’t drop and break them…which can happen – I have previous for killing three mini fans that way).

Avoid sunburn. Firstly, because it can lead to skin cancer. But secondly because if you burn yourself badly enough, you can end up with blisters. I learnt this the hard way many years ago on a dig, ending up with blisters on my ears. Once was enough and now, I always wear my official “silly hat” which has a nice wide brim all the way around. This protects my ears (although I also slather on the sunblock just in case).

Remember – sometimes chronic illnesses and pain conditions can flare with excessive heat. This is the hardest one on the list for me. With my CRPS, there is not much I can do but wait it out. If you also fall into this category, please be gentle with yourself. Your body needs extra kindness and support in this weather. PS – if you live with CRPS, my CRPS guidebook and tracker can help you learn to better manage your condition, finding what works for you and how you can best help yourself.

But how about you? What are your go-to self-care tips for the summer? Share your tips below – I’d love to hear your ideas!

Sending spoonie hugs and wishing you a gentle summer!

A quick reminder that if you're over heated and dehydrated do not go straight for the ice water no matter how good it sounds

Go for the room temp or only slightly chilled water first because ice water causes your body to work harder to process it, get the cool outside your body (chilled stuff to the chest helps a lot) and slowly work on rehydrating and getting salt back into your body. After you're back to mostly normal then you can have that sweet sweet ice water

If you hate water any water based liquid is better than nothing too. Don't be a fool when it's hot, stay hydrated by whatever means it takes for you to

I need UK journalists to not show 43 degrees is not beach weather like people are gonna die

Americans do not interact

Kade, you realize of course-

-That you'd have had to bust your partner's window first to get to the ice.

Shattered Glass Heatshadow as Mr and Mrs. Smith pose

I know you requested shattered glass but I couldn’t resist the urge to do both 😭😭😭😭

With that being said I came up with descriptions about them while finishing this up:

- SG! Heatwave seems very friendly and caring, but is actually incredibly violent, unlike the normal Heatwave. He gets along with the ones he cares about very easily and sometime when he’s on the frontlines he focuses more on rescuing people rather than putting out fires, which does annoy Kade but doesn’t want to anger Heatwave to the point where he becomes aggravated and wreaks havoc as it happened once when he got frustrated with Optimus not picking up his calls, thus revealing his true colors. Heatwave pretends to like war movies to fit in with the rest of the rescue bots but prefers to watch the stuff that normal Blades watches.

- and unlike the normal Quickshadow. SG! Quickshadow is very outgoing and is known to be a social butterfly. She dislikes being closed off and competitive and is instead as good as a storyteller as Hightide, if not better. And rather than working in espionage and being an assassin, she works in finance and fancies herself as a part-time jeweler in the biggest jewelry chain on Cybertron, meaning that in this au she’s just as wealthy as the normal Quickshadow is. SG! Quickshadow knows little to no combat skills and instead has the ultimate victim mindset and becomes emotionally distressed when the smallest things occur. (Primus knows what she’s like in a catastrophic event).

I might add more but I’m hungry I’m gonna go raid the kitchen 🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

Here's a few reminders about the current heat wave in australia and global warming.

Things you may not know:

2023 is the world's hottest year on record, and 2024 is looking to be worse.

Heatwaves are Australia's deadliest natural hazard. Let that sink in. It's not fires. We all know how devastating those are. It's not floods either. It's heat waves. It's not just a little heat, it's a hazard.

With the cost of living and inflation currently happening, a lot of people are rationing air conditioning or can't afford any. This puts more people at risk

It's not just the heat, but the humidity with it that adds to the danger

If you live in a suburban area, you are more at risk, as the concrete and lack of trees traps in the heat

The La Nina (sorry my laptop won't let me do the tilde) years we're going through are now hotter than El Nino years 50 years ago.

Risks with the heat wave and temperature rise in general:

Heat stroke can make you quite nauseous, so you may not be eating enough, making it harder for your body to look after itself.

There's such a thing as over-hydration and it can be just as serious as dehydration

With hotter nights it's harder to sleep - another thing effecting how well your body can handle things and cope

A cold beer can sound soothing, but alcohol warms you up, as well as dehydrating you, and causing lower blood sugar; keep this in mind as you enjoy, make sure you get plenty of water as being dehydrated with this shit is... let's say, subpar.

Heat exhaustion is real, no one is able to think lightning quick with the brain fog that comes with this heat. That means if you're not fully with it, things like driving become more dangerous

If you can't cool down within 30 minutes when you have heat exhaustion, or worse, heat stroke, it can become deadly

If you have a mental health disorder (and if you're on tumblr, chances are you're either neurodivergent, lgbt+, mentally ill or a funky mix) the heat literally changes your mood and exacerbates things. This has been linked to an increase in suicides and attempts, please make sure you have a support network in place, as if things are hard, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, or 000.

There is a point where sweating doesn't help as the hair is saturated/there's high humidity and the sweat cannot evaporate, therefore not cooling you down

The heat can kill, the link at the bottom of the page tells you how

Safety tips:

YOU ARE NOT STRONGER THAN THE FUCKIN SUN!!! Please make sure you are wearing sunscreen if you have to be outside or even near a window. Sunburn and cancer aren't funny, it's painful and deadly.

Drink plenty of water. No one cares if you look uncool carrying around a water bottle, because they either are as well, or are putting themselves at risk. If you're putting a bottle of water in the freezer for the next day, make sure you have non-frozen water to drink straight away

Seek shade as much as possible, even if it's carrying a small umbrella with you, or literally just a cap. Anything is better than nothing. This includes sunnies.

Cold baths and showers. I don't care that they're not pleasant, they can save you. If you have heat stroke, one of the best things to do is to have a luke-warm bath (as this temperature will likely already be painful - I saw my sister go through it) and make it colder to cool yourself down SLOWLY (but really, best advice is to call the doctor, 000, or go to the hospital)

Keep an eye on your body temperature if you can. If it gets over 41'C, your body begins to basically cook itself inside out

If money is an issue and you have a working air conditioner, set it to a higher temperature and turn on a fan. This will make the air feel cooler while saving money

If you don't have an aircon, here's a link on how to create a makeshift one

Alternatively, take turns with your mates going to each others houses to all be in an air conditioned room, while saving money of not having your aircon on everyday.

Aloe Vera at night when you're sunburnt will help ease the pain and cool you down. Also things like using mint body wash will make you feel cooler

I know we're all sweaty but do NOT overdo it with the deodorant. It will clog up your pores, you won't be able to sweat... this is bad

Take a break from exercising; your body will not start to deteriorate muscle until about 3 weeks of not using said muscle passes (I learnt this from my physio). If you're struggling with the idea of not exercising for a while, you might be struggling with over-exercising or an eating disorder - please think this over and consult a doctor.If you need to continue exercise for medical reasons: make sure you are in a cool area, hydrated, have time to cool down after your workout, and do NOT attempt anything too intense. No HIIT or anything high intensity. Aim for things like yoga or pilates (it's not just for women!!!)

You can buy hand held misting fans from kmart for $5 (these really work... I was at a concert in 41'C heat and the lady next to me had one... it helped so much)

Now is not the time for body insecurity, you are fucking gorgeous, I swear, just put the fucking crop top and shorts on or go topless if you can. It's too hot for insecurity

Make sure you've got a good fly screen and leave your doors/windows open but locked over night to keep you cooler. If you don't have a fly screen, try putting a mesh curtain over the door/window.

Silk sheets are not a good plan, you want cotton for absorbancy

Stop having hot meals. You need something cooler, no one gives a shit if you're having weetbix for dinner if you're not dying from your body temperature rising!! It's already gonna rise from the energy expenditure of digestions! So just eat something cool, ok? And make sure you're getting enough carbs, they're not evil, they keep your brain functioning, and you need that extra help with the heat fog brain.

Last of all don't be afraid to call 000 or your country's emergency/crisis number. Thanks for reading and stay safe!

Here's the link to where I got most the info, feel free to add more info to this!!!

Heatwave tip: make a gel icepack by freezing 2 parts water 1 part rubbing alcohol in a freezer bag for a few hours. It stays colder longer than just ice and it's reusable.

[not-mary-sue]

Tip for if you're doing a lot of activity in the heatwave (yes this is a heatwave for the UK, we're not used to these temps): Always have water with you. No more than that. If you think you have enough water, no you don't.

How not to be hot in bed

Go on to your favourite capitalist-dystopian mega-provider of products and look for Arc Chill.

It's a fabric that's sheer and smooth on one side and fuzzy on the other. Thus it acts like a heatsink and you'll feel a lot cooler.

UniQlo also does t-shirts that have the same effect: Pair them with a fan and voila, it's like running the AC without destroying the planet.

Homo Sapiens Are Working Overtime to Join 'The Great Silence'

And if it does affect the economy, we’ll find a way to                      extract a profit from it…. Driven mostly by rising global temperatures from the continued burning of fossil fuels, extreme weather events such as typhoons, hurricanes, floods, heatwaves and drought are becoming more frequent, increasing 83% worldwide in the past 20 years (as of 2020), and the costs have increased by 800%…

Ohh... I just realized that Heatwave might be the first time where Sylus has had someone care for him while he's sick... He's been all alone most of his life...He's never had that tender loving care so many of us take for granted... Never before felt a cool hand against his burning forehead, or had his damp hair stroked, been nagged to take bitter medicine, never had someone make sure he stayed hydrated, or been kissed on his forehead or the tip of his nose, never been hummed a soft tune as he dozes off... He's always had to suffer through these things by himself, ever since he was a young child...

No wonder he's needy... fuck

Some tips to keep yourself and your space cooler (especially if you don't have AC or the AC can't keep up)

Put some ice and water in a bowl and set it in front of a floor/table fan.

Close your blinds/cover your windows during the day and turn off any lights that produce heat (feel around the bulb/lamp for excess heat if you're not sure. Replace bulbs with LED's when you can)

If you DON'T have AC, open your windows at night when the outside air is cooler and leave your interior doors open to allow for better air flow. If you DO have AC, this can still help the air feel less stuffy, and you can use this time to give your AC a rest.

Get those big icepacks and place them on your back. Ice packs on the stomach, forehead, and back of the neck can help too.

Drink lots of water. Room temperature is better if you can stand it.

Enjoy some ice cream, watermelon, etc. Avoid spicy food.

Know the signs of heat exhaustion and don't try to "tough it out." You're not invincible.

Don't overwork your AC! Check how low you can safely set your AC. If it's not getting to the number you have it set at, adjust the number to one it CAN reach. Overworking it can damage the unit. During really hot periods, getting new parts and someone to service your AC unit can take a lot longer. You don't want to get stuck without AC

If you do get stuck without AC, consider staying in a hotel or with a friend where AC is available. Spend time at your local coffee shop, book store, cafe, public library, or wherever else might have AC.

Wear light, breathable clothes. Bring spare clothes when you go somewhere in case you get really sweaty. Dry clothes won't necessarily help you stay cool, but they do feel nice!

For cars!

The air inside a car will be warmer than the air outside the car. Don't just get in and start driving immediately. Try these tricks.

Use a sunshade for your front window if your car is outside

You know, during winter, people turn their cars on to let the car warm up before getting in? Same concept. Start the car and turn the air up high. Leave some doors or windows open for air flow. This helps push some of that hotter air out.

Because the air outside is cooler than the air inside, when you start your car, set the AC to pull air from outside (as opposed to circulating the inside air).

Once you're getting some nice crisp air from the ac, it's time to switch it back to circulating the inside air. You always want to be using the coolest air.

If you live/park somewhere where it's safe to do so, leave your windows cracked open when you aren't using it.

since most of the US is going thru a heatwave: just a reminder that if you are fat, you are at a higher risk for heat related illness like heatstroke! your sensitivity to heat is not you being dramatic or spoiled, it is your reality, please take it seriously. heat sensitivity and issues with temperature regulation are also amplified by certain factors like antidepressants/anti anxiety meds and even neurodivergence. stay cool and in AC as much as you can and seek shelter if you feel overheated 💖

A 101 Step Guide to Win His Heart

Pairing: Jason Todd (Red Hood) x Reader Genre: Fluff, Slight Chaos, Mutual Pining Setting: Gotham, modern day

[Masterlist]

Step 1: Don’t fall for the emotionally unavailable, motorcycle-riding vigilante. …Oops.

You stare at your reflection in the bathroom mirror, gripping your phone like it personally offended you. The screen glows mockingly with the tab still open: “101 Ways to Win His Heart.” It's a dumb article. It's clickbait. It's also bookmarked.

Because unfortunately, you have a massive, incurable, stupid crush on Jason Peter Todd. Yes, that Jason. Ex-Robin. Current Red Hood. Hotter than the Gotham heatwave and about as emotionally stable as a raccoon in a dumpster fire.

Still. You’re in deep.

Step 12: Find common interests.

Turns out, Jason likes books.

You also like books. Perfect.

Except his taste is Russian literature and tragic antiheroes and yours is witchy romances with glittery covers and spicy tension.

So when you spot him in the bookstore’s café (half-buried in Dostoevsky, black coffee in hand, sleeves rolled up like a crime), you panic and grab the first dark-looking book off the shelf.

…It’s a YA vampire romance.

You sit beside him like you're totally chill. “Love the… metaphorical depth,” you lie, clutching the sparkly book like it’s your thesis.

Jason peeks over the cover, lips twitching. “Did you just pick that up to impress me?”

You blink. “What? No. Obviously not. Who does that?”

He quirks a brow. “It still has the security tag.”

“…I’m gonna go die now.”

Step 45: Make him laugh.

You didn’t expect Jason to be funny.

Dry, sarcastic, subtle but when he really laughs? It’s this warm, unguarded sound that makes your knees weak.

So you start collecting terrible jokes.

“Why did Batman and Robin never use smartphones?” you ask one night.

Jason’s eyebrow lifts. “Why?”

“Because the Bat-Signal was enough.”

He stares.

Then snorts into his drink.

You mark it as a win.

Step 67: Be there when it counts.

It’s pouring when he shows up at your door bloody, bruised, soaked through and silent.

No words. Just your eyes meeting his. The way he sways a little, exhaustion pulling at him.

You don’t ask. You just pull him inside, patch him up, make him tea, and let him fall asleep on your couch with your throw blanket barely covering his long frame.

In the morning, he’s gone.

But your bookshelf has a new addition: a well-worn copy of The Idiot with a sticky note inside.

It reads: You’re not one. But I like that you try anyway. – J

Your heart does a triple backflip.

Step 101: Be yourself. Even if you’re a little chaotic, a little nerdy, and a lot in love.

You’re mid-rant about Gotham’s trash system when Jason grabs your hand during a late-night walk.

You blink.

He shrugs, cheeks faintly pink. “I’ve read a lot of books. Been through hell and back. Fought monsters, real and metaphorical.”

He pauses.

“But no one’s ever tried to win me like you do.”

You stare.

Then smile.

“Is that a compliment?”

He smirks. “It’s a confession.”

Bonus Tip #102: Sometimes, all it takes is being the one who stays. Who laughs. Who brings band-aids and bad jokes. Who loves without expecting him to fix himself first.

And sometimes? That’s all he needs to fall for you, too.

•｡ꪆৎ Imagine Chloe smoking while you eat her out

Warnings ⚠️: 18+, wlw, mdni, smut, fingering, oral (F! Receiving), Edging, Overstimulation, Weed/Smoking During Sex, Mild Degradation & Praise

Bam! Chloe's back hit the mattress, a lazy smirk curling on her lips as she exhaled a slow, hazy puff of smoke. The blunt dangled between her fingers, forgotten for a second as your tongue dragged over her slick folds, your nails digging into her thighs to keep her spread open.

"F-fuck-" Chloe choked out, her head tilting back against the pillow, eyelids fluttering as the weed buzzed in her system, amplifying every little flick of your tongue. She brought the joint back to her lips, inhaling deep before letting the smoke spill out in a slow, trembling sigh.

You hummed against her clit the vibrations making her jolt. "Keep smoking, Price," you teased, licking a long, stripe up her cunt. "I wanna see how long you last."

Her breath hitched, a shudder running through her body. "Oh, you're a f-fucking menace."

Chloe's breath came out in shallow, shaky pants, the blunt trembling between her fingers as you sucked her clit into your mouth, rolling your tongue over the sensitive bud in slow, teasing circles. Her thighs twitched, trying to close around your head, but your hands were firm- keeping her spread wide, exposed, completely at your mercy.

"Shit-fuck-" She slurred, her voice thick with pleasure and weed-induced haze. The room was filled with the musky scent of smoke and sex, the air heavy, intoxicating. Another deep drag of the joint, another slow exhale, and then her head dropped back again, her free hand fisting the sheets beneath her.

You could feel how wet she was, slick coating your lips, dripping down onto the bed, and you hadn't even given her everything yet. Smirking against her, you slowed your movements, teasing the tip of your tongue over her clit in featherlight strokes, barely touching her. Chloe let out a frustrated whimper, shifting her hips to chase the pressure.

"Nuh-uh," you murmured against her, your warm breath sending shivers up her spine. You pulled back slightly, just enough to see the desperate way her chest heaved, the way her body trembled, already begging for more. "You don't get to rush this, baby."

"God, you -" Chloe groaned, gritting her teeth as she tool another drag, smoke spilling from her lips a sigh. "You're a fucking tease."

You only chuckled, dragging two fingers through her soaked fold, collecting her arousal before pressing them against her entrance, not pushing in, just teasing. She bucked her hips, trying to take them, but you stayed firm, waiting.

"Tell me how bad you want it." You cooed, pressing soft kisses along the inside of her thigh, enjoying the way she twitched under your touch.

Chloe whined, her frustration mixing with the high, making her limbs feel heavy, her body burning. "Fuck- so bad- please, babe, I-" her voice cracked as you finally plunged two fingers inside, curling them instantly, dragging against that spot that made her toes curl.

The moan that tore from her throat was sinful, the joint slipping from her fingers onto the ashtray as she fully gave in, body arching as you set a slow, deep rhythm. Your fingers worked her open, thrusting at a pace that kept her right on the edge, never quite enough to push her over. Your tongue was relentless, flicking, circling, sucking, building her up only to pull back every time she got too close.

Chloe sobbed, her hands now gripping your hair, trying to push you closer, trying to get more. “Y/N—please—please—” Her voice was wrecked, wrecked in the way you loved, in the way that sent a heatwave straight to your core.

“Not yet,” you murmured against her, licking slow and deliberate, enjoying the way she trembled beneath you. “You can take more, can’t you, baby?”

She let out a strangled moan, nodding desperately, her body completely under your control. And you weren’t done with her yet.

Chloe was a mess beneath you, her body trembling, skin damp with sweat, her head lolling back against the pillows in utter defeat. The weed had her sinking deep into the mattress, mind swimming in slow, hazy pleasure, but you—you had her floating, dragging her to the highest peak over and over just to rip it away.

Her legs twitched, spread wide, completely open to you, but her muscles kept spasming every time you pulled back, leaving her right on the edge. She was panting hard, lips parted, her flushed chest rising and falling as if she had just run a marathon.

"Fucking hell, Y/N—" Chloe choked out, gripping at your hair with both hands now, the desperation thick in her voice. “You— you can’t just— keep doing that—”

You pulled back just enough to meet her gaze, your lips glistening with her arousal as you smirked. “Can’t I?”

Chloe groaned in frustration, her nails dragging against your scalp. “I swear to fucking God—”

You cut her off by plunging your fingers back inside her, thrusting deep and curling them just right. Her entire body jolted like a live wire, her mouth falling open in a silent moan as her back arched off the bed.

"Fuck—oh, fuck," she sobbed, her thighs clenching around your head, but you didn’t let up. Your fingers worked her hard and deep, hitting that spot over and over, while your tongue flicked against her swollen clit in perfect, devastating strokes.

Her hands fisted the sheets now, her body taut like a bowstring. "I— I can’t, I can’t—" she babbled, her voice cracking, every inch of her screaming for release.

"You can," you murmured against her, your voice low, commanding. “You’re taking it so well, baby. Just a little more.”

Chloe’s breath hitched at the praise, her thighs trembling uncontrollably. The high had her body hypersensitive, every touch magnified tenfold, every drag of your fingers making her feel like she was coming apart at the seams.

You didn’t stop, didn’t let up—not this time. Your pace quickened, fingers plunging deeper, tongue pressing harder, refusing to let her escape. The coil in her stomach tightened, wound so tight it hurt, and then—

"Oh—oh my fucking god—" Chloe shattered.

Her orgasm crashed over her like a tidal wave, her back arching high off the bed, her mouth falling open in a silent scream before a wrecked moan tore from her throat. Her thighs clamped around your head, her entire body locking up as she came hard, soaking your fingers, your mouth, the sheets beneath her.

You didn’t stop. You lapped at her, working her through it, pushing her higher, until her moans turned into choked whimpers, her hands weakly pushing at your head.

"Too much— too much—" she gasped, shaking, her body twitching violently from the overstimulation.

You pulled back slowly, placing soft, reverent kisses on her inner thighs, soothing her as she came down from the high. Her body was still trembling, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her skin glowing with sweat and afterglow.

When you finally crawled up beside her, pressing your lips to her damp forehead, Chloe let out a soft, breathless laugh. “Jesus fucking Christ,” she muttered, her voice wrecked.

You grinned, brushing damp strands of hair from her face. “Good?”

Chloe turned her head, looking at you with heavy-lidded, glassy blue eyes, still hazy from the weed and pleasure. "Babe, I think you just killed me."

You chuckled, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to her lips. “You’re still breathing, Price.”

"Barely," she muttered with a smirk, letting out a long, content sigh before melting against you, her body still weak, still twitching slightly from the aftermath. She lazily draped an arm over your waist, pulling you closer, pressing her face against your neck.

After a beat of silence, she murmured, "You’re never allowed to do that to me again.”

You smirked. “Oh, you know that’s a lie.”

Chloe let out a sleepy chuckle. "Yeah… I do."

And with that, she nuzzled closer, the last bit of smoke fading from the air as the night settled around you both.
