It’s summer again which means annual woowoo, health nerd advice from a pale girl who loves the sun:
- the sun is the best source of vitamin D available. No other vitamin D source is as easily absorbed by the body. It’s crucial to our wellbeing and shouldn’t be completely avoided. Sun exposure causes wrinkles but it also causes happiness and proper cellular function so pick your poison i guess
- daily 30 min sun exposure (especially AM when the uv is low) will help you build a base and regulate your circadian rhythm for better sleep
- lightweight clothing like linen and viscose are great cover up options between tanning sessions so you’re not constantly lubing yourself with chemical sunscreens
- HATS
- for the face I recommend mineral sunscreen. They’re a little too pricey for me to use on my whole body (see fabrics), but EltaMD is my fave for the face
- if you’re a well moisturized person (as we all should be) try water based lotion rather than oil based. Just like cooking, oil cooks the skin
- Eat blueberries !!! Eat sooo many fuckn blueberries !!! They neutralize free radicals created by UV radiation (sunburn) & reduce inflammation

Ranchers have sabotaged Colorado’s wolf reintroduction, like every other wolf reintroduction, baiting them with sheep that they neglected to death and shooting them when they came to the dead pile.
Then they cried to @COParksWildlife, who killed off the wolves for them.

The firm behind Wembley and Tottenham's stadium designed a football ground in Mexico, then pointed it at a mountain. They dropped the roof on one end so the open side frames the Cerro de la Silla, the saddle-shaped mountain that rises over Monterrey, sitting right behind the pitch.
That view in the clip came first. The architects, a firm called Populous, built the stadium around it, and they have said the mountain was one of the biggest reasons it looks the way it does. The roof stands tall on the north side and slopes down toward the south, opening up so the mountain fills the gap above the stands.
The roof is one solid piece that reaches 55 meters out over the crowd, longer than an Olympic pool, with nothing holding it up from underneath. It shades fans from a summer sun that climbs past 40°C, or 104°F. The sides stay open so the air keeps moving. Instead of closing the place up and running air conditioning, Populous cut "gills" into the metal shell, angled to catch the breeze and push warm air up and out. The building cools itself.
The metal shell is a nod to the city's past. Monterrey built its fortune on steel and had the first iron and steel foundry in Latin America, so the stadium is wrapped in steel and aluminum, which got it the nickname "El Gigante de Acero," the steel giant. The lopsided, sweeping shape comes from an odd place: the outline of old brewing stills, a tip of the hat to the beer-making the city has done since 1890.
Inside, they pulled the crowd right on top of the grass. The first row sits 9 meters from the field. At the club's old ground, it was 27. The stands tilt back at 34 degrees, one of the steepest angles in the Mexican league, packing all 53,500 seats close to the pitch, which is part of why it gets so loud.
FEMSA, the drinks giant that owns the club, paid for all of it. The bill came to around $200 million, making it the most expensive stadium ever built in Mexico when it opened in 2015. In 2024 it became the first stadium in Latin America to earn LEED Gold, a major green-building rating, for how it handles energy and water.
So the view in that clip was drawn into the plans years before they laid the first beam. The whole building is a frame, and the mountain is the picture.
“These haven't been my best performances for Mexico, and I know people expect more from me.
This Tuesday I will bounce back. It's win or nothing, and we'll make Mexico proud.”
