I messaged a bunch of you, sorry if you didn't get DM'd - i can only keep up with so many people! Feel free to DM people in the replies and make friends! This post has so many interesting faces it was so cool seeing all your designs (o^▽^o)

My pain level was really high today. Unfortunately nothing I planned to do got done, I will just have to try harder tomorrow!! <(￣︶￣)>

Phoenix, Arizona regularly climbs past 43°C, that's 110°F, and daily life barely changes. Parts of Britain are about to hit 38°C and the Met Office has issued an extreme heat warning. The same heat that is an ordinary summer afternoon in Arizona turns into a public health emergency in Britain, and the reason comes down to how the country is built. If it reaches 38°C this week, it will be the hottest June day Britain has ever recorded. The old June record is 35.6°C, set back in 1976. The hottest British day on record was 40.3°C in July 2022, and that day melted the runway tarmac at Luton airport and buckled train tracks. The first reason is air conditioning. Fewer than 1 in 20 British homes has it. In the United States it sits in roughly 9 out of 10. Phoenix, Dubai and Delhi are built around cooling, so 45°C outside still means a cool room inside. In Britain, when it is 38°C outside, it is close to 38°C in your bedroom too. The bigger reason is the houses themselves. British homes were built for long, damp, cold winters. Thick brick walls, loft insulation, small windows, all made to hold warmth inside. The same things that keep a house warm through five months of winter also trap heat in summer. Once a British house gets hot, it stays hot for days. And the newest, best-insulated homes, the ones mostly in London and the southeast, are the ones that overheat the worst. The nights are what actually harm people. The Met Office is warning of tropical nights, where the air never drops below 20°C, even at 3am. Your body recovers from a hot day overnight, once things cool down. If the house never cools, that recovery never comes, and that is when heat starts to kill. In the four days around that 40.3°C peak in 2022, about 1,000 more people over 65 died than usual. This week is also forecast to be muggier than the dry heat last month, and damp air makes it harder for sweat to cool you, which pushes the danger up. Hot countries are built to throw heat off. Shutters on the windows, pale stone that stays cool, whole afternoons planned around the worst of it, air conditioning everywhere. Britain spent centuries doing the opposite, building a country to catch every bit of warmth it could get. The picture pairs the British flag with the sun. But the sun is the same sun everywhere. What decides whether a hot week is a pleasant afternoon or a hospital ward is mostly the building you happen to be standing inside.

@kuromiyalucien Oh my god?????

Turns out the mouthwash I was using (because it was medical grade not silly store brand) burnt all my tastebuds away. We will be retaking the Hot Ones Lamb Edition in 3 months when they are back!!! Don’t use Corsodyl for 3 months. I genuinely thought I had depression, since nothing had a flavour anymore…

@DuskyTanuki do you want some gentle advice as a disabled creator who’s… also working but (still) falling behind in most of the things he wants to do?:D

How do we Indie VTubers market ourselves? Am I supposed to scrub VOD, clip, edit, manage when I'm going to post, schedule, network etc all by myself? Do you guys hire people? I'm chronically ill and broke am I just cooked?

@mxmyxis haha yeah some of the comments are.. interestingly worded for sure 😭

@DuskyTanuki some of these comments are SUPER aggresive Christ, im so sorry coming from another chronically ill creator

@WHILExTRUE It's actually incredibly incredibly difficult to electrocute yourself on a UK plug lol Literally designed to be as safe as possible:3

@Vaporwave_07 @DuskyTanuki BRUH that looks like just a safety hazard

the British plug brutally and completely mogs all other types of socket across the world and there isn't a close second

@BEHEMUTT This looks absolutely adorable 🥺 twitch.tv/duskytanuki
