Thought this article from Low Tech Magazine was very interesting, and encourages me to think of ways to reduce temperature, besides just AC, during the upcoming heatwave:

@nix@social.coop Our homes are dead, lifeless things compared to the housing our ancestors used regularly. The storm windows and screens I find are almost all painted over and caulked in. Our artificial heating and cooling systems work in tandem, and most people don't complete the basic maintenance of changing their furnace filter (go do it if you have one).
The #solarpunk housing of the future will have more requirements of the occupant, but will also fit us better. The way we live now is a bad habit.
