Hottest day of the summer here in SW France. Forecast is 42 deg C peak between 16:00 and 17:00
Order of the day so far has been to get up, open non sun facing windows, take meds, breakfast, roll awnings out, dog walk, take rubbish out to communal bins and put a washing on.
Now at 10:30 it’s reached 29, real feel 32 C already.

"A climate attribution study has found that last month's mini-heatwave can be linked to human-influenced climate change...That metaphor about frogs being slowly boiled in a pot and thinking how lovely it is? That’s quite literally us."

-healthy food,
-clean drinking water
-a clean, safe, and private space to live
-the means available to wash our clothing
-healthcare and access to medication
-comfortable bed for sleeping
-transportation
-heating and cooling
-access to the tech devices modern life now requires
If we have all that 
and I am listening to complaints about how terrible life is because we are missing out on anything else, I'm sorry but my empathy is feeling rather limited.
