Castiel And Jimmy Study I Guess?

Wear breathable clothing! Like nice airy fabrics and light colors! It attracts less heat to your body. Sunglasses are a must people, ones that actually protect your eyes, not the ones for fashion only. I find that reusable water bottles are great to carry around with you, put some ice (the big ice cubes) or pour some cold water to last you throughout the day. Some water bottles, like the metal ones or ones with a little insolation, do a great job of keeping drinks cool, at least in my experience. Heat also can make people more irritable, and do or say stupid things sometimes, so don’t blame yourself for everything okay? Give your self and others a little extra grace. Ya’ll are doing all ya’ll can.

to uk peeps

so you guys are facing down yet another global warming summer and as an american i feel entitled to barge over and give you a lot of advice about how to live your life. also i’m used to surviving 90-110 degree summers (32—43 celsius) with no ac. so here we go. 

you need to drink  a lot of water. on average you should be drinking about two liters. on hot days, double that. 

fill plastic water bottles halfway up and stick them in your freezer. take them out once they’ve frozen and fill the rest up with water, drink the water, fill it up again, and carry it around with you until it’s time to get the next ice bottle. also you can put the icy end against your throat or over your chest for maximum refreshment.

consider making a lot of sun tea. get big glass jars or a pitcher. put a bunch of your preferred teabags in it with some sugar. if you want to be an american southerner, your tea should be green or black and your sugar amount should be enough to kill a child. if you want to be sane, put in as little sugar as you can get away with so it’s not dehydrating, and stick with herbal teas because the last thing you want during the heat of the day is a caffeine boost. leave your tea on a windowsill. after a few hours it’s steeped and you can put it in the fridge. tadaaa. 

fruit juice, soda pop, beer, and a lot of sports drinks like gatorade all dehydrate you, and in really hot weather they’re dangerous because people will drink them instead of water. drink an equal amount of water as anything with sugar. see prior point about sun tea. 

when you sweat you lose salt. so don’t feel bad about eating some junk food. 

freeze grapes. eat the grapes. repeat. 

get a hat with a brim. baseball caps are ok but wide brimmed hats are better because they shadow the back of your neck and that’s one less thing to have to worry about. 

don’t wear knit caps. just… no. 

you don’t get more sunburned because it’s hot, you get more sunburned because when it’s hot you wear less clothes. so don’t freak out.

if you don’t have AC you can put a bowl of ice behind a fan. this creates a swamp cooler, by pulling the air over the ice. also, put on a wet t-shirt and sit in front of it, and you’ll cool further by evaporation. 

speaking of evaporation, watch out if it’s humid. you don’t cool down from sweating as much when the air’s already saturated. drink more water, have more salt, and change your shirt a lot. 

heatstroke is serious shit, and kids and the elderly are prone to it. but whatever your age, if you feel nauseous, headachy, or short of breath, the heat’s getting to you. pour your water bottle over your head and go sit in the shade. keep an eye on friends and family as well. 

if someone stops sweating when they’re still out in the heat, that’s serious business and get them medical treatment as soon as possible. it’s a case of dehydration and/or heatstroke.

DAVE STOP MAKING HER SO SAD LET HER REST!!!

Whaddaya mean this isn’t how it went?

I only see 1 clown here Dean

It’s tuesday… Again

Sam’s face right here could just be used to react in a number of situations gone wrong like-

when your brother gets nailed by a rusty bar instead of the angel you shipped him with for at least 12 years

When your lose you shoe AGAIN

when your brother lets miracle the dog in the impala but bitched when you had your dog in there a while back

And finally when the writers throw away your character development, sanity, and potential of having a good life full of healing,love and rest they decide to end your rollercoaster of a life in bland parallels and cringey tragedy for the sake of views and money and it wasn’t even worth it cause they got bankrupt and made no moose holla with joy or dollah since 2006

The possibilities are endless

I LOVE THIS TAKE

💖💖💖🗡️🛡️

I love the concept of sword and shield and having that as a cultural role dynamic!!

It fits in so so so well. Especially since Mando values are so intrinsically inclined with family, and what do warriors do for their family? They protect them at all costs and they fight for them. I also think it’d be so cool imagining this dynamic in action. Like imagine a chaotic mando kid being saved by their shield parent from a fire or a mynock or even from trying to take a piece of Uji cake from the pan before it’s done cooking in the fire. Or maybe the kid sometimes learns to hunt with their sword parent!

I just think the kids would also be more well rounded as warriors too as they grow up with learning defense and offense tactics by watching and learning from their parents. And as they get older they realize more about themselves and how they react and think “am I more of a protector first by shielding my loved ones or do I protect by taking out the threat first?” Who knows maybe some mando parents totally take turns hunting and guarding their ade too!

It kinda reminds me of eagles or Shriek hawks in universe, one parent guards the nest while the other hunts for the family and they take turns guarding so the other parent can have a break and stretch their wings or rest with the kiddos. Penguins especially! I wonder if the sword may take week long hunting trips with the whole family sometimes? That could be really fun!

Thoughts aside I just think you’re a total genius!! thank you so much for sharing!!

I’ve always personally headcanoned that if Mandalorians DID have certain stereotypical family/relationship roles it wouldn’t be anywhere close to gendered, like one person is the man and one person is the woman. It would be like, one person is the shield and one person is the sword. One is the guard and one is the hunter. The bigger and stronger of the two — traditionally, though obviously every marriage would be different and most wouldn’t conform exactly, especially with polyamory — might be the one to stay home and guard the kids and the clan. While the faster, more maneuverable and perhaps deadlier of the two went out and hunted, provided, initiated raids. A Mandalorian couple fighting together would be so dangerous for so many reasons but principally because if they’re both there it probably means you’re on their territory and both the guard and the hunter are after you, and now you’re seriously fucked.
