Heat stress denialism is just another form of necropolitics. We've seen it with COVID. We are being sacrificed on the altar of capitalism again.

From social media posts and various discussions among those I know, these many changes have been challenging.
Yet I think I am not overstating it to say that for #disabled people like me, these events have been a relentless cascade of complications--ranging from minor to massive--in our already #complicated lives.
I am far from alone in that my disabilities or #medications or both make me very #HeatSensitive.
When we hit 24°C, I am (metaphorically) melting and not particularly physically or mentally functional until temperatures cool below that threshhold.
The heat alone is enough to make me feel as though I am utterly exhausted, even if I have somehow managed to get a decent sleep *despite* the heat -- the heat saps it all away, regardless. ☹️
