One of the most fun parts of learning about the presidents is getting those little details about what they were like as a person. Habits or interests or hobbies--things that make them a real person instead of just another picture of a bearded guy from the 1800s.
For a few examples:
Abraham Lincoln: Told jokes constantly. And was really good at it.
Ulysses S. Grant: Was amazing at handling horses.
James Garfield: Constantly went to the Library of Congress and always kept up on the latest novels. Had a house stuffed full of books. Often read classics aloud to his kids.
Chester Arthur: Had nocturnal habits and liked taking late night walks
Grover Cleveland: Did really good impressions of people
Benjamin Harrison: Dogs loved him and would sometimes follow him in to his law office.
It's just nice to remember that they were people, you know?

Over a 1000 people have already died in Europe’s heatwave and the worst day is just starting, so now might be a good time to mention that the politics of who suffers from a heat wave is highly intersectional. We’ve already talked about how global warming hits the poorest parts of the world the hardest.Right now I want to talk more about the local politics of heat.
Poor people can’t afford air conditioning. Cheaper houses have less insulation. Cities contain more heat and poorer neighborhoods have less grass and trees, which absorb heat. Playgrounds in poorer neighborhoods are more likely to be composed of low-maintenance materials like concrete, rubber tiles, and sand. All of which make these places hotter. And when heat becomes deadly, poorer neighborhoods often have access to fewer and slower emergency response services.
Meanwhile, people in poorer neighborhoods are often criminalized for using the escapes available to them, like sitting in public fountains and swimming in city canals, and filling a kiddie pool with water on the sidewalk in front of their houses. During the last heat wave in the Netherlands, desperate neighbors in overheating city blocks opened fire hydrants to give their children some much needed relief from the heat. The result? A police crackdown on poor people.
And of course everywhere people of color, immigrants and other marginalized people are more likely to live in these conditions than white people and to suffer more criminalization.
And then there’s work. Who is more likely to work a physically demanding job? Who is more likely to work outside? Who can afford to take their lunch break in an air conditioned restaurant and who must do so on the side walk? You guessed it.
Finally: if you want to put advice under this post about how to stay cool, I understand. But be aware that putting individualist responses like that under a post about a systematic problem can be very jarring. This will not be the last heat wave and they will get worse. Wet towels and cooling pads alone will not save us. We need to understand that surviving heat (and cold, and floods, etc) is political and it requires a collective political answer.
