There are a ton of quick and cheap electrolyte drink recipes that you can find online. Tea, coffee, cocount water, milk, milk substitutes, juice, etc are all hydrating despite extremely persistent myths. Many fruits and veggies like cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, bell peppers, etc have high water content and are a great way to hydrate while also getting vital nutrients. Popsicles are also a good way to stay cool and hydrated and you can buy them or make your own with whatever ingredients you want; there are recipes online, including ones for electrolyte popsicles, but you can also just do basic ones with your choice of fruit juice and whatever you want to add, like chunks of fresh or frozen fruit.

1. Eat fruit

2. Eat something with salt.

I had a day during the worst of the heatwave when I was a feeling really ill and I realised I hadn't had anything with sodium for a good while. I ate some crisps (chips) and immediately felt better. Was that the healthiest option? Maybe not. Was it the most accessible at the time? Absolutely

a. it's a week dedicated to stairs! for 7 full days, 24 hours a day, my blog will be posting a picture of stairs every 15 minutes.

q. how do I participate?

a. the hashtag for this year's festivities is #TOBEDETERMINED ! starting on Sunday, June 14th,you can post pictures of stairs and tag them with #TOBEDETERMINED and I will reblog them, adding them to the queue, and enshrining them forever in the stairsweek collection for future years!

i do not accept submissions for stairposts! you must claim your part in stairsweek yourself. if you do not want your stairs featured in future years celebrations, simply delete the post and it will not be reblogged the next year.

you are also free to reblog, share, and interact with the photos, and are in fact invited/encouraged to. i really like seeing people's tags for the stairs about their opinions/favorites!

q. i don't like stairs ):

a. then block the tag and control your own online experience :)

q. why?

a. I think it's important to remind myself and everyone else that I run my tumblr to collect and post about things I want to. im not on tumblr for clout or success. if i was, I would not post 600+ photos of stairs over the course of a week. i feel like there are are probably much better, more convenient, and efficient ways to get followers on websites that make significantly more money.

also, i just think they're beautiful, interesting, and make you curious about the rest of the larger structure they're part of. they have always been a bit mysterious in that way to me!

q. how many stairsweeks have you had?

a. karkat stairsweek would be entering third grade today :)

q. when is stairsweek?
