✨☕✨there's coffee in that nebula✨☕✨

this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.

try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.

- wash and then cook your vegetables. air fry, bake, sautee, deep fry, whatever to 165F

- if you really want a salad, get locally farmed veg from the farmers market and wash VERY thoroughly. if the farm has info about their labor practices, even better. workers' safety keeps us safe too

- you can blanch some greens too but this isn't as safe as cooking thoughly

- wash your hands thoroughly before & after prepping raw vegetables

legally had to color this one. holland march i love you

Like much of the world, this week we are going to be experiencing an intense heat wave.

Find your local cooling centers! Many libraries double as cooling centers, but not all of them.

Here's a WWLP article that lists some cooling centers open during this particular heat wave, and heres 413Cares a website thats been collecting cooling and warming centers for years. Use another resource to make sure those locations are acting as cooling centers for this particular heat wave.

Museums also tend to have very, very good AC to keep their items safe, and all the five colleges' museums are free and open to the public.

Grocery stores are typically kept extra cold to make you hungry so you buy more.

For many of us, the water out of our tap comes out very cold. Hold your wrists veins-side-up under the water for a while to cool down your entire body.

Personal fans,ice water wraps around your neck, and sticking your feet in ice water can go a long way for beating the heat.

Swamp coolers/evaporative coolers work well in lower levels of humidity, but can be dangerous at higher levels of humidity. They raise the humidity in your own space, which makes your sweat significantly less effective. They are easy to DIY with a fan and materials you probably already have. Check your local humidity forecast daily before using them, and just use a fan when its too humid.
