PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!
regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!
regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.
gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!
no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!
Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!
honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3
Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.
no listen. listen. when gloria doodles “thoughts of death Barbie” and “cellulite Barbie” and Barbie gets thoughts of death and cellulite. then when Barbie doesn’t think she can just be Barbie anymore and gloria tells Mattel about her idea for “ordinary Barbie” and when Barbie realizes she wants to be human do you. do you understand what i’m saying do you
I am tired of seeing complaints about America's monologue in Barbie being very basic and nothing new. Yes, it feels like something I have tweeted a thousand times years ago but I still cried and cried. What people tend to overlook is that in the movie she is not saying these things to women who have lived these all their lives, she isn't watering it down for hardcore feminists who know this and a thousand times more. She is talking to a literal doll who has only experienced womanhood in the real world and in Ken's mimicking of patriarchy for a moment and it has already broken her down. She is saying these things to someone who is feeling some things, most things for the very first time and can barely articulate them, and is doing it for her because she knows it very well. It might not feel like much to someone who has lived the life we lived, read and watched the things we have and fought our whole lives, but its everything to a doll who is experiencing patriarchy for the first time or may be a little girl in the real world who is growing up now and being more exposed to it everyday.
The strength in America's monologue is not in what she says being something noone has heard before, but its in the fact that we go through these things so often that they seem like nothing to us anymore and she is seeing the same things break Barbie down and is realising how messed up it is that even a doll who was made to represent women couldn't escape it. Such is the plight of womanhood.
Its inevitable.

He hated corruption in the court but corrupting you ? No. He liked to see those innocent eyes slowly filling themselves with lust. You were so, so pure when he first met you and when you started dating, he couldn't wait but just corrupting your innocent and smart self into a lustful and cock filled brain slut.

I find it so funny that conservatives are just now freaking out about Barbie being "woke" because of the movie casting a trans Barbie and other queer actors, saying they're "forgetting their target audience of families and children".
Barbie has been "woke feminist" for years.
LGBTQ+ representation belongs in all movies, including family films.
Barbie isn't even a kids movie, it's rated PG-13 and there is one child in the main cast. Greta Gerwig made a Barbie movie for adults who remember playing with Barbie. The kids can go watch Barbie of Swan Lake.

Hellooooooo
I was wondering how would Alhaitham and Ayato would react to hearing the safe word in the middle of the act? Like they pushed reader's limits, they seem to be pretty rough and demanding in bed and that's kinda scary sometimes
cw. after saying the safe word, a lil angst, fem! reader, heavily comforting you
ayato, who would— and such goes in the generality of standings, without stating, express leaden depicted signs of embodied guiltiness for turning you, his darling, he devotedly treasured, this uncomfortable and hurting during an endearing time where he should've coddled you with a sundry of effusive pleasure.
conceivably, ayato might've fell in to be inordinately rough tonight as he was severely frustrated from his own bottled up emotions— one of the leading factors being the tracked down obvious that he hasn't seen you nor spend sufficient time with you in what felt like plentiful years.
his troubled breath was stranded immovable in his glued down throat upon listening to you suddenly cry out the safe word he was sure would never be used by any of you— to proceed, ayato had directly pulled out of you, the touch cautious, as controlled as possible as to not dispense any more damage before really saying anything, he can barely marge his eyes on you and it broke his heart that he was the reason you experienced pain— when he should've loyally lavaged you with nothing but pure comfort.
what they’re saying:
‘Barbie (2023) is to political’
what they mean:
‘female adolescence is to political, and i don’t like looking at how the patriarchy hurt women because my escapism is my ignorance, and i’m a man-child who doesn’t want to take accountability for the patriarchal world we live in.’
Watching Barbie watch as Ken takes over barbieland, takes her dream house and turn it into his own property, ruins her things whilst she cries in despair and suddenly I’m six years old again pleading my brother to be gentle with my toys as he throws them on the floor and against the walls. The hundreds of dollars in dolls that my parents spent for birthdays and christmas, told me to be careful with and showed me how to play nice destructed and destroyed as my brother grabs at anything and everything, tosses them around, stretches their plastic joints and pulls at their heads while I scream for him to stop seemingly wasted in seconds. He throws one down for another and I’m too small to grab them off of him. Easily toppled over as he pushes me aside and I’m wondering what I ever did to him to deserve it.
On top of it all, he’s still surprised when his torment breaks one of them, the legs snap out and he pauses as though he’s remorseful. I cry at the loss of my doll and despite how it was him who broke it. Him who threw it around. Him who pulled until the elastic snapped..
I am still told I should’ve been more careful with my toys.
✩ ‧₊˚ ✩。WONDER — AL-HAITHAM.
contents. fluff, mentions of al-haitham’s grandmother, hints at sensory sensitivities (neurodivergent al-haitham is canon to me), just thinking ab al-haitham perhaps not liking being grand sage at all but nothing is ever that bad as long as he has you, y’know?
“hey,” you murmur, sitting next to al-haitham. he hums, watching from the corner of his eye as you settle down. “kaveh said you’d be here. mind if i join?”
“no,” he mumbles, “never. as long as you didn’t bring kaveh.”
“i didn’t,” you roll your eyes, smiling.
al-haitham has come here since he was young—by the docks of sumeru city at night, feet dangling over the water. the first few times, grandmother had scolded him when he’d return—by the fifth, she’d resigned to letting him run off. it’s quiet—it’s still and peaceful, but not lifeless. for a while, it used to be a spot for him to just read. after some time, it becomes the one place he can relax when even being home is not enough to calm him.
“rough day?” you ask gently, rubbing over goosebumps on his exposed arm. his cloak keeps the other warm, safe from the night breeze as you sit by the water.
“yeah i guess,” he mumbles, “just overwhelming.”
Or water fountains, public washrooms, outdoors tables, etc, etc
