today’s the summer solstice (for the northern hemisphere), so tell me your favorite way to cool down while we’re watching the world burn. 🔥

    Honestly one of the quickest ways I’ve found to cool down is to run my wrists under cold water.

    And for my dog, wet t-shirts and wet towels tucked under his groin and armpits. I wish he was a water dog (we’ve tried wading pools, sprinklers etc) but he’s not so other than forcing him to drink enough water, I’ve found he’ll tolerate the wet items on him.

      I have a pair of cheap UV protection sunsleeves that I’ve cut to just cover my wrists-forearms that I wet with a spray bottle when it’s crazy hot. Works incredibly well.
