X; lack of sense is common

And here is the resulting image. There is at least Someone in the U.K. government who is actually doing their job, and it is Chief Mouser to the Cabinet, Larry the Cat.

Like I said, the museum was a pretty snotty institution. It’s got a LOT of objects it’s way famous for possessing, but nobody knew about the absolutely massive collection of Moche erotic pottery it had because the curators were totally embarrassed by this stuff.

Some examples:

Pretty hot shit, right? They never, ever put any of this stuff on public view or published it in any catalogues but - we legit had like several hundred pieces of Moche ceramics in the “dirty pots” category. Anyway, I was left alone to just do my job with regard to the database for several years, ok? And I figured, well, these’re accessioned objects in the museum’s collection - better get down to bidness. 

I catalogued every goddamn bestiality, necrophiliac, cocksucking, buttfucking, detached penis, and giant vulva drinking cup in that collection. I’d be like, 

A drinking vessel in form of a standing man wearing a tunic and cap. He holds an oversized erection in his hands and stares into the distance (note I did not say “like he’s hella-constipated”). The vessel has a hole at both the tip of the penis as well as around the rim of the figure’s head, thus forcing the drinker to drink only from the penis or risk spilling wine all over themselves from the top of the vessel. Red and orange slip covers the surface of the piece.

Pretty straightforward, right? Apparently the deep seated fear of these objects that the curators exhibited was meant to spread to me as well, but - no one ever gave me that memo, because I guess Midwesterners reproduce asexually. When the curators understood that I had catalogued all of these objects in addition to the other, non-sexy pieces in the collection, they were apparently livid, but knew they had no legs to stand on in terms of getting pissed at me for it. 

I visited the museum’s online public access database a few years back and - every single description I wrote of these pieces has been totally neutered to say something like Male figural vase. 

Since you have a portable AC, choose one room to keep it in and try and keep that room sealed. The best way to do that is if your door opens into that room, put a blanket on the outside of the door frame so that way when you open the door there's another barrier to help keep that cold air in.

Sometimes it's easier to cool one room and live in that room during a heatwave. Then it is to try and cool and enter a house/e apartment.

If you have it in your living room, put a blanket on the doorway leading out of the living room, if it's possible.

Another way to help survive this heatwave is hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. And if you work outside sip water throughout the day, not just when you're thirsty. As soon as you get home, take a shower to bring your temperature down.

Make sure that anything that might give off heat is turned off or used at a bare minimum, such as light bulbs, stoves/ ovens, and sometimes yes even fans.

Ice packs/cool wet clothes on the base of your neck and base of your spine (and i find putting an icepack near/on my feet helps cool me down)
