There’s so much to unpack here:

Pack of Beakers

Goth Beaker

The Beaker snitching and pointing out the photographer

The Beaker that’s about to unload on the photographer

The terminator strut before the ass whooping and you know he’s moving at speed because of the blur

The ominous feeling that you know this is 3 in the morning

it is dangerously fuckoff hot survival tips

- if you don’t have air conditioning, try to go someplace that does. The library? the mall? can you swing a couple nights at a cheap hotel? hang out early/late at your work?

- HYDRATION: keep something liquid within arms reach, drink continuously. If you are sweating a lot, just water might not do it. I tend to DIY oral rehydration solution with a liter of water, a spoonful-ish of lemon juice, a teaspoon or so of sugar and a pinch of salt. You can also do ~a tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon salt to a liter (~4 cups) of water, but the lemon juice makes it taste less like ass. The rule of thumb is that it shouldn’t be saltier than tears. I usually make it so I can tell there’s salt in there but it doesn’t actually taste salty if that makes any sense…

(if you don’t have measuring spoons, a tablespoon is a big soup-size spoon and a teaspoon is a little spoon. This stuff does not have to be precise, it’s not like baking which is actual chemistry)

- Watered-down fruit juice + salty snack food is both good for you and tastes fucking amazing when it’s hot (my favorite snack ever was half mango juice/half water and a can of Pringles on a really hot day)

- eat small meals but eat something. your body is working hard to keep you cool, it does need fuel.

- take it slow: walk slowly enough that you’re not out of breath, the last thing you need is to heat yourself up MORE

- if you can’t get air conditioning, at least make sure air is MOVING: sit in front of a fan or something

- if it isn’t insanely humid, hanging a wet towel in front of a fan can make things cooler. If you are in, say, DC, where it’s so humid it’s basically an outdoor steam bath, this will not help much if at all

- cold showers. a couple times a day, or hell, every hour if you want. Definitely right before bed

- fill a bottle with ice water and roll it around behind your neck. Your life will immediately suck at least 15% less.

- if you feel dizzy, your pulse is shallow and fast, or you have other symptoms of heat exhaustion, this is now a Serious Medical Problem. If you develop a fever, nausea or vomiting, or pass out, you may have heat stroke, which is an Actual Medical Emergency, get to urgent care or the ER right away.

- if you feel nauseated, have a headache, your pee is dark colored and/or you haven’t peed all day, you are probably dehydrated. See above re: oral rehydration. Don’t drink a bunch real fast, you’ll probably throw it up. Instead, drink slowly but KEEP DRINKING. If for whatever reason you can’t manage this, you have an Actual Medical Emergency, get to urgent care or the ER right away.

- I AM NOT A DOCTOR this is not medical advice please be careful and call an actual doctor if you’re worried

you say it's my villain era and what you mean is that when you were six you panicked about wearing the right thing to kindergarten, what you mean is that in middle school nobody was eating, what you mean is that you spent high school prepping for college and college prepping for adulthood and adulthood fucking lost in the system.

what you mean is that you've been good. you were a good team player. you would have never considered yourself perfectionist - those are people more popular, prettier, more successful - but you carry any flaw like a secret in you, terrified someone will desert you for the simple reality of your personhood.

if you were good you could be loved. you could be loved if you were selfless and thoughtful and caring. if you bent over for every person, if you went above-and-beyond, it would absolve you of who you actually were. deep down, how horrible that you had needs. that you had boundaries, that you had desires. you learned young that you cannot afford to cut people out of your life - you would have nothing left. it is better to live in the service of others, to supplicate. to worship. you weren't exceptional, you had to make up for it in some way. to prove to others you were worthy.

if they need you, it's the same thing as loving you. if you are always-there, always-listening, always-friendly, you are filling a role. you have a purpose. you are living correctly.

villain era, you repeat. you mean: yesterday you finally told a man no. for hours afterwards, you couldn't control your heartbeat. you mean: you've been saying positive affirmations on repeat, trying to teach yourself any new thing about how self care is necessary. you mean: three weeks ago, due to a scheduling conflict, you finally told a coworker that no, you couldn't do them a "quick favor". you have felt bad about that ever since. sure, it would have made you work late and it would have been extra stress - but you feel bad about it nevertheless.

you tell your therapist you have been leaning into evil. she asks what that means. when you tell her: sometimes i prioritize my own needs, she doesn't find it funny. she looks at you a long time.

"and that's evil?" she clarifies.

"well," you say. "feels evil to me."

you were meant to see this post. this post showed up on your screen for a reason. you are loved. whatever issue you may be going through right now, whether it be school or family or love, it will pass. it will pass, and you will be okay in the end. you will survive this.

Oh dear…

this post hasn't left my mind since i've first saw it

It’s the BEST

one thing about me is that i say floor time and lay down on the floor until i feel better
