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

aaugh i hate citing sources *excruciatingly loud sounds of tearing metal combined with tortured human screams and fleshy hitting noises* ok that wasn't so bad actually..

The fourth image is tags in response again, and it reads, "prev in the credits of cars 2 we see maters passport including his DOB. his birthday is the same as john lasseters. 12 jan 1957. as i write this in 2022 john lasseter is 65. thus. mater is a gilf."

WAYS TO HELP UKRAINE FOR FREE AND WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT

Many of us want to help Ukrainian people during such terrible times but not everybody can do that directly or has enough money to donate. There are ways to still help tho - for example watching videos made by people promising that they will donate whole ad revenue to the charity, yet it is not unreasonable to suspect some of the creators to be scammers, not all of them will publish proof of donation, right?

1) Fortunately, channels like Watch to donate ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJH1K31TTLYhux3v1Yb3NQ ) exist. They have their own website where they publish proof of donation to the charity for all their videos, each dedicated to another important issue. https://www.watchtodonate.org

Link to video made to help Razom (https://razomforukraine.org)  fundraiser for helping Ukrainians - https://youtu.be/Ath4IxAYOB8

Watch to donate already engaged in raising money to fight climate change, aid indigenous people, support girls and women in Afghanistan, prevent LBBQT people suicide,  and so much more! Videos created to support this important issues are still on their channel.

2) Moreover, they have collaborated with artists, for example Michelle Teh - all money made of streaming her song Life Update on Apple music and Spotify will go to Project Hope, they also help in Ukraine (and in other places in the world as well). Their website states that

,, Founded in 1958, Project HOPE is a renowned global health and humanitarian relief organization. Our lifesaving work addresses the world’s greatest public health challenges, transforming lives and uplifting communities. “

Link to Life Update on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/24V6frSTVC8PD5XwBB5E1y?si=143fcd711be64760

3) Watch to donate have their own game (available for free in google play app), according to them it makes 20 x more money than youtube ad revenue, it includes three games, each for different issue. It’s called Play to donate. Profits from ads on main page go to Project Hope

4) Rebuild Ukraine Game

The  interview with the game creator can be read here https://flipboard.com/topic/gamedevelopment/making-the-rebuild-ukraine-mobile-game-in-the-middle-of-a-war-zone/a-cw0GYTgzSX6bpr2sDt4A6g%3Aa%3A58779069-41db98e4b7%2Fventurebeat.com

5) Since the begining of Ukraine crisis (genocide of Ukraine people by Putin and his dogs) World Food Programme does what is the most needed to help suffering people, proof of their work is published here https://www.wfp.org/publications/situation-report-ukraine with newest reports stating that ,,  Since the beginning of the conflict, WFP has reached over 3.8 million people with in-kind and cash assistance and will continue scaling-up its response to assist up to 4.5 million people. WFP continues to monitor the food security situation in Ukraine and refugees movement into neighbouring countries, to adjust its assistance and accommodate surging needs,, . BY PLAYING IT YOU NOT ONLY SUPPORT UKRAINE BUT ALSO SLOW DOWN FOOD CRISIS

do you HATE the color of the sky?

having anxiety is like being given permanent unwanted custody of a halter arabian. like okay buddy is it panic time again. cool you probably need more exercise and an apple and then maybe you'll calm down.

taking my stupid walks for my stupid mental health with my stupid hypervigilant brain horse

thoroughly enjoying the notes on this post because it's equal parts people with anxiety going "yeah that's what it's like" and people with arabians going "yeah that's what they're like"

Do you ever wonder what happened to the weird girl from your middle school?
