    I still get panicked about summer, or even the thought of tolerating that hell of a season. Mainly it’s because it has been a pain in the ASS to keep my house comfortably cold or to even have and maintain an air conditioner. It’s expensive, and if the heat gets over a certain threshold, swamp coolers and air conditioners become ineffective at a certain point. It’s legitimately scary. I don’t want to boil alive or die of heat stroke. One power outage in the summertime could mean you’re completely fucked. I wish more people treated summer and climate change as more of a threat to life.
