There’s all the bright lights and noise of Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, or even the beach. There are so many social expectations we struggle with. And the heat itself can be overwhelming. Does anyone else find summer heat to be completely draining? It’s so much mental and emotional labor…

    I’m living in a European country and the local biggest town decided to replace the tradition firework by a light show. It’s one of the best decision they took (with the reducing of car traffic).

      It’s July 4th today so I can relate a lot. It’s pretty shameful how individualistic and inconsiderate our culture can be.

    I’m not autistic and I absolutely hate the heat. I hate to sweat doing barely anything, sleeping naked and still feeling overheated, and not having an aircondition at home. (Europe). Meanwhile every summer is getting hotter and hotter.

      Seriously privileged people in the US can be so entitled, they seem to not know life outside of their own little air-conditioned bubble. They take everything for granted and it’s so ridiculous.

      It’s almost like there are more countries in the world than the US. And more cultures in the world than white America.

        no one brought up the US. Plenty of old homes and apartments don’t have AC. You can buy them yourself and stick it in the window. Plenty of non white folk in the US have AC. hth

        Jesus Christ you sound like an asshole.

        I’m autistic and to have this level of reaction to someone attempting to agree with you is just vile.

        You need to take a look at yourself ffs

          Oh dear, I’m so sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings!! It’s so hard to understand other people’s feelings. One of the hardest parts of being ND.

            You can still take responsibility for being an ass even if you didn’t realise it immediately. Don’t double down and blame the victim.

    Summer with air conditioning is cool (pun intended)
    Summer without air conditioning is a form of torture applied by the CIA, especially during the nights

    I hate the heat, and especially sweating when I’m not specifically exercising. The other day it was 43C / 110F (Texas), and it’s miserable. 😭

    I just don’t take part in those kinds of things. Most of my friends and family understand and don’t even bring it up to me, and those who do are only asking because they want to spend time with me.

    And yes, fuck summer heat. Once it hits 25 Celsius I stay inside. I miss winter.

    Ugh, I’m helping a friend move and I am just covered in sweat. It’s muggy and sticky and I am so over it. It feels like I’m trying to breath in syrup.
