    You can only be cozy in the cold weather, plus you can wear a coat if it’s cold but you can’t wear an anti-coat if it’s hot. When I was too young to fully understand seasons I used to have nightmares about it suddenly becoming summer because it’s just such an awful time of year

      This is a large part of the winter appeal for me. Dressing for winter is easier then for very hot weather. Although I do use a wide brimmed hat for heat now, it’s like a tiny free cooler!

      I still get panicked about summer, or even the thought of tolerating that hell of a season. Mainly it’s because it has been a pain in the ASS to keep my house comfortably cold or to even have and maintain an air conditioner. It’s expensive, and if the heat gets over a certain threshold, swamp coolers and air conditioners become ineffective at a certain point. It’s legitimately scary. I don’t want to boil alive or die of heat stroke. One power outage in the summertime could mean you’re completely fucked. I wish more people treated summer and climate change as more of a threat to life.

      you can’t wear an anti-coat if it’s hot.

      There are all kinds of active and passive cooling suits.

      If you find an army-looking one, you can be truly tacticool.

        They’re powered and still aren’t nearly as effective as a sweater, let alone a coat.
