it sucks that the overwhelming majority of medical messaging around salt/sodium is "evil poisonous substance that you're definitely already eating way too much of," because like. you do still need it. (trust me, as a POTS-haver, I've had to completely rewire my own brain about salt.) and you need more salt when the entire northern hemisphere is hot enough to fry an egg on. ever tried sucking down the recommended 64oz of hydration per day entirely as water, only to find you're peeing constantly without any of the purported benefits of being "hydrated"? assuming you don't have another medical condition that causes frequent urination, your body probably needed more salt/electrolytes to be able to hold onto that water and make use of it. if there was ever a time to keep a sports drink/pedialyte/etc within constant reach, it's when the heat index is 110°F/43°C.

we’ll always have the exploding clown

ray toro summertime guitar solo captured love in 6 strings and he's about to make love to us now

it fills me with deep satisfaction that we know for a fact gerard experiences exactly the same thing we do during a ray toro kids from yesterday extended outro solo. we are all united in The Emotions and its soooo beautiful

I hope this mcr summer is the best ever and there's no insane discourse about anything stupid and that everyone has really good cellular service everywhere in the venues and all streamers get 1000 followers before the show starts 🫡 and that everyone lives forever through the power of music and all that other gay shit amen

shout-out to characters who let their childhood friend situationship dictate the course of their life to a degree that spits in the face of any and all reason. they're doing important work.
