  • European Boundlings take care during the heat wave!! 🥵☀️‼️

    Hello everyone!! Just popping in here to remind everyone, but especially my fellow european boundlings to take extra care of yourself during this very extreme heat wave rn and the next days ‼️

    And i don't mean drinking enough water, and sitting in the shade of a tree. I mean stay inside during the day, don't take the temperatures lightly and push yourself to work out or go for a run, try to reschedule them to the early morning hours or later in the evening if necessary. Cancel appointments or dates if you don't feel well. Try to minimise your daily activity to the bare minimum and only things necessary! Heatwave's should get treated like s snowstorm, bc it's nothing else than an extreme of the other end of the scale.

    The temperatures we're currently experiencing are seriously no joke, people DIE bc of heatstrokes every day. People in central europe are not used to this conditions, our daily life is designed for colder temperatures, our buildings don't have integrated cooling systems and most private households don't have AC. These temperatures in central europe feel different from the same temperatures in other usual warm countries and regions.

    Take care everyone!! 🫂☀️

    temperature map of europe

    Europe is currently getting hit by an extreme weather situation, scientists call "the omega situation". Warm air masses are getting firmly trapped between two cold air masses on each side, which leads to a very stable and long holding heat over central europe atm. These week the temperatures are rising over 40°C (104°F), which is a new heat record documented for these time of the year.

    As I've said before, this book should be called "Devastate Me".

    I went into this one with no true expectations, and came out with a new favourite. It was full of raw emotions and thoughts.

    Max was so relatable to me and not always in a good way. Her thoughts revealed to us that sometimes, even good people are just a lil bit mean inside their heads, and that felt so refreshing. The same with Vincent to a larger and less relatable sense. He was a good person who did some very bad things in his past but had truely grown up. People do change. They can do better with time. We also see the more recent contrast in behaviours with Simone, and I loved that parallel.

    The family dynamics were great to see as well. Some things you have to tiptoe around, some things you have to just barrel into head on. It's all complex and individual.

    And Max's thought around being trans and being 'too much' or 'difficult'? URG my trans heart hurt. Obviously it's not true that we are too much, but it's such a real worry that it was fascinating to read about.

    Absolutely loved this one. So glad I read it for the pride badge. Will read more from Dinan, 100%.

    Thoughts on the style of this book after around 50%

    This book feels like a deep dive into seemingly random historical events, and by the time I've almost forgotten what the book is actually supposed to be about, the gay person the chapter is centred on is introduced rather rushed towards the end. And most of the time, I still don't really understand why this person is considered a "bad gay." Will this get any better after Chapter 8, or can someone assure me that I won't spend the rest of this book feeling like I'm listening to my history book as an audiobook?
