anyway hi Germany it's over 30° in moderately dry heat! welcome to heat!

- sip water all day even if you don't think you're thirsty
- eat salty snacks or salty food when you're sipping water all day
- wear loose, breathable clothing such as linen or sports synthetics [edit: specifically not cotton]
- when out in the sun, cover all exposed skin with either sunscreen or loose, breathable clothes
- when you go outside take: sunglasses, head covering, water bottle
- avoid being in the sunlight when the sun is high
- umbrellas are great to go out in the sun
- stop trying to not sweat. sweat is natural when it's hot and it's a very efficient cooling system (as long as you're wearing loose, breathable clothing)
- in fact things that trigger sweat will *cool you down*—counter-intuitively, this includes spicy food and hot tea
- don't work when the heat is cooking you alive in the office. in the absence of a siesta tradition, procrastinate. bullshit. kill time. surviving is enough.

do you feel lethargic and vaguely ill when it's hot like this? do you feel fatigued and unable to do anything? follow these simple measures and I guarantee you will feel better   think of it as dressing up on 2+ layers plus overcoat, beanie and gloves during winter but like, the other way around. you will definitely not regret protecting your health from the heat

mutual aid request please 🌱

(i’m so sorry, but)
i had to stop working in may due to a serious deterioration in my health. things are pretty bad here now to the point where i need (and want! i miss it ) to start again, but my thumb and shoulder keep dislocating and i’m sometimes too weak to stand. and it’s not even safe for the kiln/fire until this horrendous heat ends.



i’m a disabled, chronically ill and autistic nonbinary sculptor living with my husband and our two cats, one of whom also has chronic illness. my business has been decimated since the introduction of the tariffs last autumn and the global economic situation, and now my health is collapsing too.



i’ve finally, miraculously got a GP (hooray!) who's helping me apply for disability benefits. but it could be a year before i know if i'm approved, and i don’t know what we’ll do till then: she isn’t treating me as she doesn’t know how to deal with my illnesses. and there’s no cure anyway.



husband works as much as he can, but he can’t make enough for us both. rent and bills are due, the cat and i need health stuff, and our electricity bill’s going to be through the roof because we’ve had to keep fans on during the heatwave (we’ve had 43/110 this week). so if anyone is able send us a few currency units, we’d be very grateful.



thank you so much, and please take care, whatever the world is like where you are.

"You have tampered in the Gods' domain!" the god shouted.

"Well, maybe, but you gods tamper in the human domain all the time!"

"That's... That's different!"

"How?"

"We are Gods! It's what we do!"

"And we are human. Likewise."

"I..." The god sighed. "Fair. But keep it quiet, okay?"

"Tens of thousands braved the scorching temperatures to celebrate the Budapest Pride parade on Saturday, the first since the election defeat of Viktor Orban, who tried to ban the event last year.

'I think the situation is getting better and better, mainly because of the change in government', 18-year-old Petra Toth, who was attending her first Pride with her girlfriend, told AFP."

Fuck yeah!
