I hear there's a bit of a heatwave in the UK right now. As someone from the UK who's been living in South Africa for almost a decade, some things I do to deal with the heat:

* Feet in a bowl of cold water
* Ice pack wrapped in a damp tea towel (especially good under your feet in bed at night)
* Damp tea towel around neck
* Spray bottle to spritz self with water

Keep your 'hot' zones cool; armpits, under boobs, crotch, back of knees. Having cool feet and neck helps immensely too.

I just saw someone in the US (not here) telling people that if it's over 90 degrees and you see homeless people in distress you should call 311 and the police are "legally required to give assistance".

DO NOT DO THAT.

Please do not call the police on homeless people.

Or anyone, really.

Research your local shelters, resources, cooling center, etc. Do not call the police.

hmmm time to choose a name for a shitty gatekeepery transphobic physiologist completely at random...

Not everything you see is directed at you personally

If it has scales, it's very worthy of a hug

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:

Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.

This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a ‘solar bio-battery’) and in response to light (as a ‘bio-solar-panel’) with potential applications in low-power devices."

Publishing names, titles and photos of #ICE agents is not doxxing. It is the smallest possible shred of transparency and public accountability.

So... ppl are getting upset about some brilliantly timely scraping of public job site data when these people are literally stealing children from their parents and throwing them in cages?

Fuck right off.

Share this list; chase these state kidnappers the fuck off your block.

WHOSE STREETS?!

21st Century humans rated emotions on a number scale, with low numbers meaning fondness/affection, and high numbers meaning dislike/repulsion. As with all scales there was a margin of error, which resulted in very low numbers being impossible to verify. Three was the lowest verifiable number. Thus, those experiencing strong affection could only say it was less than three, meaning more affection than can be accurately measured.

Thanks to UKClimbing.com I had a database of over 427k rock climbing routes to feed to a neural network. It did pretty well. http://aiweirdness.com/post/175339699997/blue-boulders-problem-1-more-rock-climbing-routes

halloween pride year

Yeah, that's still a terrifying violation of our privacy.

This is evil.

The reason police keep doing this shit isn't magic. Most white people just don't care. Yes, even the 'woke' ones.

Sure, they'll 'take a stand' when the cameras come out, but what about the work to dismantle the culture that enables cops to keep doing illegal shit?

What about sustained voting pushes to out vote bigots? What about confronting racism in your family? What about being a buffer between us a fucked up cops?

Where is the WORK outside of photo ops & interviews?

actually, it's Berenstæin Bears

Pride Month is nice but I want Safety Always
