PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like “gatorade is bad actually!” and “don’t drink fruit juice it’ll just dehydrate you!” and neither of these are true!
regarding fruit juice: there’s apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that’s simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won’t do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won’t completely dehydrate you as long as you’re also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can’t go wrong with fruit juice!!!
regarding gatorade: maybe this isn’t an every day drink, but guess what: if it’s 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don’t have AC, or you’re moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you’re sweating buckets: that’s when you drink a gatorade.
gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren’t doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you’re sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that’s intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that’s its intended use case!!!!
no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!
Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It’s fine if you drink things that aren’t water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn’t going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!
honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you’re doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3
sometimes i feel like. bad abt my general reading comprehension and media analysis skills bc i have a lot of trouble putting my thoughts into words to the point where any kind of essays r almost impossible to write. and then i see they way ppl interpret things i like on the website and remember im smart actually
The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not βget overβ the loss of a loved one; youβll learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same.
I donβt know who you are, but your addition to my post is amazing. Thank you kind soul.
itβs juneteenth so itβs time to pay reparations to ur fave black blogger <3 Im yves and im a black trans teenager who needs some extra money for a computer.

It’s sad that it’d probably go through disability pride month because I’ve been waiting for that all year to make disability pride shit but eh. I don’t wanna be a scab.
Actually no wait nevermind why the fuck are we doing it through disability pride month??? That seems weird as fuck nevermind
Why the fuck would you make it so that you start after queer pride month, but through disability pride month??? That seems weird as fuck to me I’m sorry not sorry but it does. Like it seems weird in a way I really can’t articulate properly but i hope my rambling makes sense
Everyone keeps reblogging the tumblr blackout post as though it isn’t probably gonna be through most of, if not all of, disability pride month, which is a horrible fucking idea, so like, maybe let’s not do that? Like if someone else is able to articulate it better than me please do so, but it feels so. Weird. And a horrible idea.
tumblr wouldn’t be affected with a blackout like reddit would. reddit relies on volunteers to run all of the subreddits and, basically, run the app. they can shut down their spaces (and the entire website/app) if they want to. tumblr doesn’t work the same way. it would probably be more effective to give one-star reviews in the app store, stop blazing posts/buying checkmarks/etc, send asks detailing problems to official blogs like wip, etc. a blackout won’t have the same effect, and, like sillyfunny is stating above, would isolate people during disability pride month.
hey could somebody spare some money so my girlfriend can get smthn to eat? she doesnβt have a cashapp so itll be mine, but she needs some food cuz she injured herself trying to save her cat

I am a black autistic lesbian, I am from a very controlling misogynistic houseold. I have been the stay at home mother for my youngest sister since I was 12 years old and Iβd really appreciate any added donations so I can finally get my ID + uber and take the real GED tests I scored likely to pass on. My mother did not educate me past 3rd grade (βhomeschoolingβ me instead) so studying to reach a level in which I could pass was very difficult.
