A few nights ago, I watched Project Hail Mary without knowing anything about it. I experienced the kind of genuine awe and excitement that I don't really get with movies anymore. I stopped watching trailers or following movie release schedules a few years ago and it greatly increased my enjoyment.

“If you can’t cook there are services” “If you can’t support yourself just tell them & get help” “If it were really that bad support would show up” This is internalized ableism. Most of the time, help isn’t available. Support doesn’t come. Disabled people are on their own.

We are: 

✔️ Opening hundreds of cooling centers. You can find your nearest cooling center at finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters/ or by calling 311.

✔️ Providing real-time walking directions to nearby cooling centers on thousands of LinkNYC kiosks.

✔️ Deploying 21 COOL vans to bring medical care, water, sunscreen, and transportation directly to our most vulnerable neighbors and check on older adults in their homes.

✔️Expanding outdoor cooling stations with water, misting fans, and cooling towels for outdoor workers including street vendors, deliveristas, and day laborers.

✔️ Contacting more than 75,000 businesses to encourage heat illness plans and remind workers that they can use Protected Time Off for heat-related health issues.

✔️ Extending hours at Olympic- and intermediate-sized outdoor pools until 8:30 p.m. 

✔️Connecting neighbors with outdoor cool options like spray showers at on.nyc.gov/CoolItNYC.

✔️ Distributing spray caps from local firehouses to adults 18 and over to safely turn fire hydrants into sprinklers.
