no fucking way the supreme court gutted the voting rights act?????
holy shit, i better not hear anymore talk about "but both sides are the same!" from ANYONE EVER AGAIN
for everyone else, we need to show up at the midterms this november AND VOTE BLUE
nothing will ever be enough, especially because i think its going to get worse before it gets better
i think its one of those situations where people will not care until something drastic happens, like mass casualties from heat stroke or the power grid going out for significant periods of time, leading to severe injuries or sickness
or more likely, corporations will start to lose money from the ever increasing heat waves, and then theyll pressure politicians to do something (something short sighted and stupid that wont actually help regular people)
tips from someone in texas who has lived through many a heat wave:
1.
️
stay in the shade whenever possible if you have to go outside; wear hats, use umbrellas/parasols, use sunscreen and aloe vera, etc
2.
STAY HYDRATED WITH REGULAR WATER, anything with caffeine, alcohol or too much sugar is a no-go unless you literally have nothing else
3.
heat stroke is no joke, if you start to feel dizziness or nausea and youre not getting better, get to a hospital/emergency room
4.
️get a generator if youre able to, in case of an outage, but if thats not possible, get some battery powered fans, batteries, coolers, bags of ice, and try to work with that
