Dont Die - Blog Posts

Happy birthday Akutagawa!!!

Since not dying is important gonna repost this

Anyone can help!

(Real pen the last picture)

It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.

In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.

i’m gonna sob THANK YOU<33 i love your whole 70s theme so much, i can’t get over it

Omg this makes me so happy because I didn’t think anyone would really vibe with it since no one really does it. But this made my heart flutter tysm🙏🏽🤍

Hi

Im at work and im on the verge of a meltdown in front of a bunch of old people

i cant tell you how hard it is to be fucking unmediated, almost every single day every single second every Millie second, it’s hell. My brain won’t let me focus I can’t stop being tired all the time I’m always being ripped apart for the littlest things in my head..im so tired. I’m so fucking tired. I’ve been dealing with this my entire life and it has just been getting so bad. I don’t know what to do anymore, I can’t wait to go home

Im sorry If i stop doing anything on here I’m not Well.

Sorry for bitchin I just need to get this out bleh

I'm sorry but soowon's confused face is just so amusing to me 😔 My man is adorable 🙈

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40°C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.

okay. so i’m polyamorous, right, i’m open to having multiple partners and whatnot

but!

so far everyone i’ve told has been.. kinda a jerk about it. AND I DONT UNDERSTAND IT

why? what’s wrong with being poly???

it’s not cheating. like, if i had a partner then i started crushing on someone else and that other person liked me as well, id go to my partner and talk about it and if they’re chill with it- and if the other person is chill with it- then i’ll date the other person while continuing to date my partner

i had a bf once who, when i explained that i’m poly to him, told me that he doesn’t want me dating other ppl cuz that’s cheating. but it’s not. AND!!! dude fucking cheated on me

and i just genuinely don’t understand what’s so wrong with having a crush while you have a partner. it happened to me years ago, where i had a lovely partner but i developed a small crush on another guy. i wasn’t going to do anything about that crush of mine, but my partner found out and he was upset and i felt bad cuz of that but i also didn’t understand. and i still don’t

i’ve just been ridiculed every time i mention that i’m polyamorous and i don’t get it. why can’t i love multiple people? everyone does it all the time- i have a plethora of friends who i love, and when i last had a partner i loved him too. so why is it wrong for me to love multiple people in a romantic way?

i’m not going to cheat. i’m not going to say that i’m poly as an excuse to be a jerk

i’ve found that oftentimes i love so deeply that it aches. i can’t help the fact that sometimes i get flustered due to various people, i can’t help that sometimes i have a longing to be with someone; but that doesn’t mean i wouldn’t want my partner anymore

sorry for my little ramble, it’s just gotten annoying to be shamed for this :/
