I liked summer back when it was the only season that was tolerable to be outside in as a kid living in the Northeast. Now it's the only season where I live that's intolerable to be outside in so I'm all good on it.

I didn't change. Fucking summer changed. There's a South Pacific hurricane season now. Everyone's talking about climate change like it's a distant threat. The climate has already changed. I whine about it very little because most localities have it way worse than we do in southern California.

Me, an intellectual:

I have always hated the whole “it’s summer you must come outside and do things with us right now” thing. I don’t get why you don’t spend time outside all year round. Why is it important now that it’s intolerably hot and bright?

Summer really is the worst.

Here's three months or so where it's so stupidly hot you can't even sleep properly at night, and if you want to go outside you have to smother yourself in goo repeatedly because the sky will kill you. Also there are millions of what are essentially flying dirty syringes who's only purpose is to steal your blood that are seeking you out constantly. And not only do they steal your blood, the place where they stole it from will turn red and itch like crazy for no discernible purpose other than fuck you presumably. You can sort of keep these away by smothering yourself in a second type of goo that's probably poison of some sort.

Good thing we invented housing so we can avoid this right? It would be, except that as soon as it starts everybody seems determined to spend every second of it outside, and becomes fixated on making everyone else be outside too. There also seems to be some connection with sunshine and everyone wanting to be as loud as humanly possible.

I genuinely wish I could just hibernate like a bear through summers lol, as soon as June 1st hits just peace out until September.

I don't mind being hot. I hate being cold.

definitely not the case in Scotland 😄

Stop using AC and go outside, you will find summers great.

Going outside is the important bit. Anyone who hates summer doesn't spend leisure time outside.

I'll die on that hill.

Spring is my favourite season. When you get the first warm day after a depressing winter and the new leaves are growing and the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

We got summer in spring this year. In fact I think we got summer in winter (February) this year too.

Summer holiday: its probably to hot for school. Winter holiday: its probably too snowy to get to school safely. Easter holiday: go pretend to care about religion instead of school. Autumn holiday: go help your family get ready for winter instead of school.

So time off was never part of the equation.

I'll never understand why it became the norm to use fire to cook outside during the hottest months of the year.
