if you are dealing with extreme heat or even just. moderate heat in your area right now. 80f/26c is when it starts getting toasty for a lot of people. if you are in a heat wave and you have not done yourself the favor of googling fucking “heat exhaustion symptoms” i am shaking you violently right now. look it up. burn the symptoms into your brain. heatstroke is no joke and it can and WILL sneak up on you before you’re aware it’s even an issue. ohh my god

if you are outside and it is hot and sunny and you are sweating thru your clothes or feeling tired or starting to get irrationally agitated or upset in another way or feeling nauseous or your heart is pounding etc etc if you are feeling Weird and Bad for no apparent reason while you are in a warm/hot area then i have news for you! you need to cool down! right now! oh my god.

and there’s a very good chance that you’re gonna think “it’s not heat exhaustion, i don’t feel any warmer than i have all day” when you consider it as a reason why you are suddenly feeling weirdbad for no apparent reason during a record-breaking heatwave and i would like to say. there is no harm in sitting in the shade and drinking some water even if heat exhaustion isn’t the cause of whatever ailment is inflicting itself upon u. once i swore up and down to my bf that i was just kinda tired and headachy and got bitchy about the possibility of being overheated and needing to drink water. because heat exhaustion tends to make you bitchy. but i did as he asked and drank some cold water and my condition immediately improved. because it was heat exhaustion and heat exhaustion is evil and a liar. sit down. drink water

Also please check if your medications make you more susceptible to heat!

This includes but is not limited to:

• Antidepressants: tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil), doxepin (Sinequan), and nortriptyline (Pamelor).
• Antihistamines: diphenhydramine (Benadryl Allergy).
• Antipsychotic drugs: atypical antipsychotics such as olanzapine (Zyprexa) and risperidone (Risperdal), and conventional antipsychotics such as thioridazine.
• High blood pressure drugs: thiazide diuretics such as chlorothiazide (Diuril) and hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDiuril).
• Overactive-bladder treatments: anticholinergics such as oxybutynin (Ditropan, Oxytrol) and solifenacin (Vesicare).
• Mood-stabilizing lithium medications.

Check sites like drugs.com or The Mayo Clinic, or ask your doctor or pharmacist/chemist next time you see them. This is seriously important! Most doctors do not tell you these things unless you ask them to check (which is infinitely frustrating) so make sure you do your research.

I feel like it bears saying that most of the mythological depictions Ishmael was complaining about at the beginning were very much NOT WHALES TO BEGIN WITH

Matsya (The incarnation of Vishnu he was talking about) was very much part fish.

Perseus’s sea monster was never described as a whale.

“All aquatic mythological & religious depictions of big sea life are leviathans and therefor whales” is peak Ishmael Logic.

“Thus we were weaving and weaving away when I started at a sound so strange, long drawn, and musically wild and unearthly, that the ball of free will dropped from my hand, and I stood gazing up at the clouds whence that voice dropped like a wing.”

For a moment I thought he ‘dropped free will’ as in he couldn’t help but look up at the sky at the sound because he was startled, so he didn’t really have a choice in that action. And then I realized that he had been comparing the shuttle (technically his hands) he was weaving with with free will in his metaphor, and the fucking dork probably dropped the yarn and couldn’t help phrasing it like that to give the sentence double meaning and be a confusing poetic idiot.

I am so disappointed that I can’t text Ishmael Mobydick because I want to ask his opinion on this porpoise

reminder this pride month that disabled people in the US on SSI and SSDI do not have the same marriage equality as people not on SSI and SSDI. its called the marriage penalty.

by getting married, a disabled person can lose their income, benefits, and health insurance.

if a disabled person marries an able bodied person, and combined their assets are $3000 or over they will lose all benefits, including medicaid (health insurance).

if a disabled person marries a disabled person, their assistance is lowered 25%.

we don’t have marriage equality until all disabled marriages are equal.

This is one of the most adorable Pride posts I’ve ever seen

What I love about the imagery of the turtle is that it’s sending the message that they are protecting themselves by being in their shell. It’s not about deceiving straight people (like we are often told), but about the turtle’s own safety. They’ll come out when the time is right and they feel comfortable. 💕🏳️‍🌈

“jonathan harker could do frankenstein, but victor frankenstein could not do dracula” okay, but what if we swap the antagonists instead. dracula murders all of switzerland in two days, meanwhile jonathan and mina adopt the monster as their son and no one dies
