I'm really mad about how my university is handling the heat wave - or rather, not handling it. They haven't sent out any notices or warnings. They haven't told people what safety precautions they should be taking. They are flat-out refusing to acknowledge this as a public safety risk.

EXTREME HEAT IS A SAFETY RISK! Heat related illness can KILL PEOPLE!

But we're not gonna talk about that. We'll complain about the weather like we always do and then we'll move on with our lives.

#hylian rambles #extreme heat #vent post #please be careful if your area is having unusually hot weather!#drink more water than you think you need! electrolytes too if you're gonna be outside for long!#wear loose and light colored clothing #don't be more physically active in the heat than you absolutely have to #its okay to take longer to get places to avoid making your body generate all that heat by going fast #if you get a headache or dizziness or nausea or excessive sweating you need to cool down asap. shade. ac if possible. fluids.#you can also pour water on yourself or put cold packs on major arteries (neck armpits groin)#if you or anyone passes out or gets confused or delirious get medical help immediately that is an emergency called heat stroke
