July 29th - Lovecraft In Brooklyn

Guys, it's fucking hot. Not just July hot, but the continuation and worsening of a literal month long heatwave. Today's been worse than it's been the last week, and we've been huddling behind fans and air conditioners. We don't have proper AC in England, our buildings aren't built for it. So we have this freestanding one with a hose that goes to the window. I love it and it doesn't work well enough.

The garden is dying apart from the bits I remember to water, which isn't enough of it, just the raised beds. I saw a hedgehog and had to remember to put out a dish of water for him.

It shouldn't be this hot. It wasn't this hot most of the time in the past. It's wrong and it's broken and while some people recognise this there's a lot of others whose fortune depends on people not doing a fucking thing about it. It was always stupid to be a climate change denier, but being a climate change denier fucking now is beyond stupid and into evil.

How do I feel about it? I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn.
