Welcome. I received a note this week from a reader that made me reconsider how I’m re-engaging with the world. Rachel Albetski of New York City wrote that she’s loved meeting up with friends in bars and restaurants. But she was surprised to find that the most joy she’s experienced of late has come from walking around alone: “I had been so busy catching up with people,” she wrote, “that I hadn’t taken any time to just be solo in New York again!”

Avoid heat–related illness
Staying cool and hydrating often are the two most important things you can do to avoid feeling sick and discomfort when it’s extremely hot. If you don’t have an air conditioning unit, or if your A.C. has been on nonstop and you still feel hot, here are ways to cool your body and home:
Spritz your skin with a mist of cool or room-temperature water.
Block out the windows in your home with a blanket or a darker sheet during the day to keep the heat out.
If you don’t have A.C., keep windows open and run fans to circulate the air. Wirecutter, a New York Times company, has guidance on the best products to keep your home cool.
