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

-PICKLES. Pickles are holy sent from above grade snacks. They are cool and refreshing and the brine helps you stay hydrated. They're easy to store and carry. There are different kinds if you don't like basic dill pickles. These were the most valuable item to barter at Wasteland Weekend.

-watermelon with salt. It's delicious. It's hydrating. The salt helps with electrolytes. KEEP IN MIND you need more than salt but salt will help

-Don't do shit during the middle of the day if you can help it. The middle of the day is siesta time, be lazy, stay in the shade, swim, nap, stay hydrated. Don't exert energy if you can help it. Get up early and/or stay up late to do work during the cooler parts of the day. That's when you can exert your energy.

-There are a bunch of great tutorials on rigging makeshift air-conditioning. Most of them are pretty cheap and easy to do.

-SHADE. STAY. IN. THE. SHADE! Shade makes the difference between tolerable and cooked well done. In AZ, shade makes the difference between a usable backyard and a completely unusable one.

-Put ice on your neck, feet, wrists. You can use a wet towel (dunked in ice water from the cooler is great), a zip lock baggie wrapped in a towel, snap towel, etc. REI has these cool neck bandanas with an insulated ice compartment (I really want to get a couple). Swim or take a cool bath if you can.

-LOOK AT ME. LOOK. I'm saying this with love. No you cannot hike with 100+ Temps with only flip flops and beer. A lot of idiots have to be helicoptered to hospitals doing that shit. DONT.

-Dehydration can look a lot like someone's lost their marbles and having an episode. If someone looks disoriented and out of it, they may be dehydrated. This happened to my boss and he had to go to the hospital for an IV. And he fought it because he didn't think anything was wrong.

-Sunscreen. Idc if you have darker skin. Sunscreen. You can still get cancer with darker skin. There are sunscreens out there formulated to not leave white cast. SUNSCREEN.

-Coconut water my beloved. Coconut water can give you a solid hydration boost that water can't. If you suffer from dry mouth it'll help coat your mouth and bring relief. There's Coconut water with pineapple mixed in if you don't like the flavor.

people in every queer and trans community i go to set an expectation: i should ofrever abandon my muslim past, i should explicitly stop associating yourself with it whatsoever, you either get to be queer or you either get to be raised-muslim.

in reality, there's no such expectation for christianity, and none of them are ready to dismantle their "inner christian" in their heads as much as they expect be to dismantle my "inner muslim"

none fo them get to admit how most first world countries are culturally christian, because christianity is "default" to them, as well as first world, as well as white.

me having a complicated relationship with islam doesn't mean i absolutely despise every piece of it. it means i distanced myself from ummah, but won't hear islamic criticism from non ex muslims at all, because you expect us to dismantle "our inner muslims" in ways you aren't ready to dismantle imperialism and racism in you.

your expectation is us "acting white", you don't want us unless we're that, which means you don't want us at all.

a lot of people claiming to want to uplift brown queer voices and such don't procced to do anything meaningful for them, or for brown people at all. it's just virtue signaling, homonationalism. you'd only care of brown people being queer, and you want the "brown" part of it gone as much as possible.

a lot of people say they want the leftist agenda to stop being us centric and imperialist, but then it's just pretending to care about it. you already made is so little and unhearable you'd have to get out of your way to seek for us speaking. then you'd not seek or if you find us, you will just pass by. hoping someone else would amplify the voice you took from us? and that someone else would hope for that too, so what?

you want us only when we agree with everything usa says about us, you want us until our lives don't put you into too much discomfort. when they put you into too much discomfort, you don't ask why, you'll restore the comfort by banishing us again. your tolerability of us is so intricately conditional, to meet those a third worlder has to build themselves into a first worlder mindset. this is your (inter)nationalism hey.

NOT A COMPLETE LIST but you can help maybe 🥺👉👈. If your fandom is tagged, then that means they've made stickers for it and YOU 🫵 may have one of the ones I'm missing. Maybe. Please let me know. Also please show me they're so cute and I wanna see them all

These are all the stickers Fangamer and Fangamer JP give out with their orders that they call the "Fangamer Sticker Series". Not the ones that come with t-shirts and stuff - those are just like, on their website - I'm talking about the ones that are numbered and shaped like the Fangamer logo and they don't really show off anywhere.

This list is text-only and the stickers are grouped by "mini-series". (Basically, an artist will produce a bunch of stickers for a game or whatever and they'll all be numbered sequentially. So, if 101 and 103 are stickers from the same game by the same artist, then 102 is too. Helps when trying to figure out what's missing.) If you want a list with actual pictures, go here. This list is slightly more complete, but they're super cute. You should look at them. Pinch their cheeks.

If you see any errors or know any of the unknown numbers, please let me know. Without further ado, the list:
