I am actually really upset about this. I quit doing climate protest after covid because it seemed like XR had sucked all the oxygen out of the space and I meant to restart but I haven't. There's also a way where it seems like all leftists think the problem is billionaires and thats true but its very far from the whole story. The implications of billionaires means protests against fascism are implicitly also climate protests, but this doesn't lessen the need for climates specific protests. Indeed, it means that climate protests are implicitly antifascist protests. We used to worry about ecofascism, but the current position of billionaires makes that extremely unlikely. Anyway, what's going on with climate protests in London now? I feel like I owe it to Alex.

If you are autistic, you are at higher risk of heat stroke. There are more heatwaves coming. Please be careful and try to stay cool. You need to drink 3 litres of water a day. Be aware this can impact your electrolytes. You can these from the chemist in tablets you can dissolve in water. You can cool yourself down by showering or using cold flannels etc. You might want to get a room thermometer. If you're in a place that's really very warm or its making you sweat loads or feel uncomfortable and you can't cool it down, you need to find some place else to go. A friend of mine is making a webpage for tips aimed specifically at people on the spectrum and I'll link it when it goes live. Heat stroke is very dangerous, please try to stay safe.
