Boosting Mitochondrial Health: How to Tame Chronic Inflammation with DAMPs Know-How
Exploring Mitochondrial Damage Signals and Practical Steps to Reduce Inflammation for Optimal Cellular Health I talk a lot about Mitochondria, as they matter. Every cell needs them, and their dysfunction is associated with all metabolic diseases, cancers, and neurodegenerative disorders. They are extra critical for energy organs like the brain and the heart. So, if our mitochondria malfunction,…

Checking out other Quest AUs as I wait for my will to come back to continue with Inky Mystery.
(The conflict has not let down yet and I’m starting to feel dread)
Anyway, go check out this neato retell of the og Quest story by @thequestfortheinkmachinecomics. The characters’ designs are nicely touched up, their personalities seems more natural now, the art is really cool and oh no, I’ve run out of juice for words… I just know that this retell will be good so I’ll be on along for this ride.

are you guys fucking for real? are you SERIOUS?
antis have bullied Seunghan in quitting literally 2 days after they announced he would be returning...& FOR WHAT??? WHAT DO THEY GAIN BY BEING EVIL TO A 20 YEAR OLD??? the only crime he's committed is being a living breathing person who has a life outside of his JOB.
I'm actually SO PISSED off.
as a pre debut briize, for these 10 months I have found it difficult to support riize, because in my heart I couldn't stop thinking about that poor kid who was suffering for no reason. I told myself to support the other members, that if Seunghan wasn't immediately kicked out he would return. I thought about how much happier riize & briize would be once we were all reunited. I was so hopeful seeing the outpouring of love & support for him throughout social media. I was SO HAPPY when Seunghan announced his return in November.
riize is 7.
riize was always meant to BE 7.
anyone who is ot6, anyone who participated in the hate, anyone who wasn't ecstatic when Seunghan's return was announced: YOU ARE NOT A BRIIZE & pls block me 🙏
#riize#briize#seunghan#hong seunghan#RIIZE IS 7#its literally pure evil & should be illegal what they're doing#protest trucks & funeral wreaths over a teenage boy having a girlfriend? having a cigarette? for swearing?? BE SO FOR REAL#he's not my bias. he was never my bias. i just have a heart & a brain.#where is the energy for the REALLY disgusting monstrous predatory men in the industry???#im so fucking sick & tired. i think i need a break from riize which fucking KILLS ME because its literally not their fault in any way.#yall are on the WRONG side of history#FIN posts

G'raha looked so serious while he pleaded his case to venture into the World of Darkness with the Warrior of Light. The sudden conviction in his tone had Arsay at a loss for words. Still, she did not hesitate to meet his request with an accepting nod. He was an important friend and in the passing moons that they'd come to know each other, a strong fondness for him had taken hold of her. The prospect of helping G'raha find the truth behind his mysterious inheritance made Arsay's heart pound. It was the perfect venture for them to embark on. The first of many, she hoped. The two turned towards the impossibly tall spire that dared to pierce the heavens above. Arsay's resolve strengthened in its presence. When they next find themselves gazing at the tower -with their quest completed and the world no longer under threat of total destruction- she'll properly ask G'raha to be a companion in her travels. A grin crept its way onto her face as her gaze shifted to him. If Arsay could find it within herself to bare her heart to others so readily just as he does… perhaps their future adventures will find them together, hand in hand.
#ffxiv#wolgraha#G'raha tia#graharsay#idk just a random passage in my head that I needed to get out#im not a writer and im not pretending to be one but it was in my brain so sorry if its not as readable as I think it is#anyways imagine you are the loneliest catgirl in the world#and you meet a guy who is so swagless and cringe but in a charming way and he connects with you on a fundamental level#and you become really good friends and every time you show up he smiles in a way that makes your heart do somersaults#and you start thinking that maybe people actually like having you around not just when they need you to kill and destroy things#you let yourself open up a little and you're met with kindness and you realize you are very in love actually#but because you're still figuring out how to talk about your feelings you wait a little too long#and that guy seals himself up in a tower and tells you he'll think about your heroism in the future#and you are very sad and angry about this but thats not allowed so instead you put that energy to being the hero of all time#and every day you go to work you see the structure that reminds you of him and you cant let go of those what if feelings n ur cursed 5ever#would that be fucked up or what#WOL posting#Arsay Nun

can russia and north korea just nuke us already this is hopeless
#sorry to be so fatalistic on main i just have zero faith in the american public atp#i just rly wanted to believe that more americans couldve used this opportunity to prove to the rest of the world that we arent all a bunch#of sensationalist/conspiracy-driven/aggressively braindead/violent/bigoted alt-right lunatics#& i never had much faith in kamala & walz to begin with obviously im incredibly cynical towards these status quo gatekeepers and the#downright impotence of the neoliberal democratic party#but this wouldve been an easy swerve away from dozens MORE of horrible awful inhumane policies that will ultimately vanquish#the quality of life for the entire american working class like myself and our already pisspoor education system and our lousy#climate change policies and impossible living standards#but no unfortunately there is no way in hell for americans to prove even a modicum of intelligence or worth we're all basically suicidal#and despite my own immense yank bashing tendencies and complete disdain for our government i really wanted this country & my ppl to defy#our own reputation of being so fucking stupid and backwards i really did. in the tiniest little place of my heart was legitimate hope#& a tiny bit of patriotism thats now been squashed completely & this was just another large-scale international humiliation that we legit#voted that guy BACK IN after everything that has happened the last four even eight years. its unbelievable.#again obviously i dont like kamala but it still wouldve been a grand opportunity to stall against what the gop is already destroying#and with push and shove we could have made slight progress forward as a country and try to protect our social programs#be it as flawed as they are and with enough support we could have strengthened them a little. make drugs less expensive. continue forward#with clean energy decreasing our use of fossil fuels even more.#protect our education system so the up and coming generations could receive higher standards of learning than what the rest of us had#NO ABSOLUTELY NOT. im too poor to continue living here and im too poor to fucking leave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#SORRY THIS WAS EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY LONG THANK U FOR READING IF U DID MY BRAIN FEELS LIKE MUSH RIGHT NOW SO I DONT KNOW HOW#INTELLIGIBLE THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE#and if this makes anyone mad @ all then ill just delete it cuz by god i dont need more grief and self hatred !#txt

I mean I’m obsessed with crash landing on you because it’s like if a hallmark movie was good and that is fascinating to my brain and healing to my heart.
#I didn’t think such a thing was possible#I’ve been living very much in a world of extremes lately re: Art#like. on the one hand all the great works I teach just taking OVER my brain#and my knowledge of them deepening at a very rapid pace#(sometimes in a too terrifying way so I feel like I’m hurtling down a hill. it’s actually really hard sometimes and I think part of how)#(my anxiety is manifesting itself. like. I just. I don’t feel like I’ve taken a deep breath in a year)#(I’ve just been in. motion.)#and then on the other hand finding new ways to find shows like Bridgerton dead#and Bridgerton helps with that because it is emotionally hollow. because it is fundamentally embarrassing#because Anthony snarling at Kate about how his honor is hanging by a thread isn’t sexy at all#so my mind has kind of just been living in those two extremes and there hasn’t been a lot of room for gentleness or nuance#but cloy is very healing 😭 and it just doesn’t#push the buttons in my brain that immediately need to analyze and#to some extent—destroy! tear apart! with fierce and savage energy.#it just lets my brain and heart exist.#and also there is something so sweet and pure and real about so much of it#I think it’s cause it’s true love 😭 and it’s that simple.#(I’ve also outgrown/moved on from some of the more mediocre things I used to love. Like I just needed something new) but yeah.#it has been very hard in my brain lately even though it’s also been very good#like. teaching is just a lot these days. because it takes sooooooo much effort and work to get the kids going intellectually speaking#and one of the only ways I know how to reach them. or at least the lane I’m really driving in right now#(I know there are more ways)#is simply speaking to them above their heads. with passion and energy and a certain degree of expertise#and it’s WORKING#because it wakes them up and makes them want to engage#but I am also moving so fast and so vulnerably for all of my certainty. that it’s just hard.#I need to relax but I can’t. I feel like the devil is behind me every second#this is dramatic. and as Lewis said in surprised by joy it’s only one layer of what’s happening#but it is what happening#a lot of things are unfolding/growing and also the anxiety is terrible

I opened Pinterest for the first time in months.
That made me realize a lot about how bad I was actually doing and how much of a Waffle House Index use of Pinterest is for adult me, apparently.
I hadn’t realized it had grown that foundational to me in a healthy-brain-exercise-and-hobby-joy way. Nice to know moving forward! It’s another sign I can keep track of and use to spot correlation/indicator patterns earlier my behavior.
I love this kind of thing, it makes me so excited!
#personal data hacking is my passion#someday I’ll tell a story about the most notable times I tracked things or hacked my own mental processes from childhood to now#including the fear of spiders and bed wetting and behavior changes and posture and heart rate and cursive and putting kitchen items and#trash away as soon as I’m finished using them instead of never ever or ages and ages later#I’m so proud of that#you have to give it time and still commit. chaining thoughts and routines and behaviors really works#we are not separate brains and bodies and external environments#anyway I’m gonna go haha I used up he last of my energy burst on Discord and here and I need to go rest and lie on the floor and probly doze#love you all be back soon bye mwah!#add to journal#trauma evolution#my Waffle House index#this is going to be a fun new tag I’m so going to have fun with this and I bet it’ll be a helpful example reference for other people too#more than just for future me!#so excited so proud of myself so happy so grateful for hope about me really trusting that my ability and my behavior and my performance#are able to and going to yes keep getting better#long many-milestone path-journeys of potential#like when I was a little 6-7 year old kid-team athlete looking ahead at a concept of a future with me over time getting#stronger and cleverer and faster and slicker and calmer and even happier and more and more capable and able to accomplish!#a gift. all this time I didn’t think I’d have and have been living anyway is such a gift.#knowing that I truly have future time to grow and explore and change and improve in even though I still can’t FEEL or IMAGINE that future#time yet. also a gift.#the time I will one day realize I can imagine a future and imagine myself alive? will be a gift.#breath is a gift. experiencing life is a gift. other life is a gift. rhythm is a gift. motion is a gift. awake is a gift. color is a gift.#such a great expanse. all of it new. all of it eternal. all of it me. all of it nothing I’ve ever known before. all of it all of it#all of it. gifts.#gonna go have floor time now. this would be such a nice time to re-re-regain my ability to cry!#mwah I love you future me. take care of your hand and thank u for writing all this down 💛#hey little star whatcha gonna queue?#my poetry

Okay, I know I fell off the face of the earth but I’ll be moving out of a very traumatic living situation this December after ten years of being either on autopilot or crisis mode in an unsafe state. I also have new muses so to speak in the form of my super attractive besties turned partners so there’s a few things going right and I’m really gonna do my best to stay out of “other shoe” brain so I don’t ruin it for myself as I’ve def done in the past lmao thank you to everyone who has continued showing love and support for this page even though it’s been dead in the water for like 4 months I am planning to return and with that I’ll hopefully bring a more expansive creative flow instead of feeling limited or nervous to write!
#idk who believes in what but I am genuinely requesting well wishes and good energy! need it so bad rn#the trauma brain makes me wanna push away any potential positives because it’s just another chance to get hurt or traumatized#so I’m using every ounce of my skills and patience and heart to not psych myself out and rly trust these lovely people#I will move I will find peace I will find love I will find community I am manifesting greatness!!!#life update#raev lives#raev yaps

you ever read a fix-it-fic for a non-canon relationship where it seems like the way the author handled the canon relationship breaking up is to infect one of the characters (usually a woman) with something akin to that fungus that makes zombie ants or perhaps some kind of toxoplasmosis but for your blorbo instead of cats, so that her affections are just flipped like a light switch from "in love with a genuinely supportive partner" to "in love with the character I want her to be in love with because...[crickets]"?
#and by noncanon relationship i mean caleb and jester#every single one reads like a hallmark movie written by someone scabbing during the wga strike who did 16 whippits beforehand#EVERY SINGLE ONE is like Jester breaks up with Fjord bc she deliberately lied by omission about her needs and got mad he wasn't psychic#and accidentally paints Fjord as like. The most saintly perfect man whose heart she broke when she lost her mind to the ant fungus#the problem is they lean so far into the idea of caleb not believing he deserves her that they make caleb into an energy vampire#and so the only feasible way to make jester attracted to him is by giving her some kind of lobotomizing brain parasite

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:
Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough
#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#lok malina#still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now#and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that#don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before#to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021#because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing#but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence#anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he#*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character#for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop#I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like#I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her#if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet#okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself#lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer#about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long#this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh#I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out#*surprising#less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know#anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous#her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this#and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning#I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭#I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb#okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary:#she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Gotta relax somehow.
#kh#kingdom hearts#khux#brain#my posts#echo's art#this one's a bit messier than usual cuz i needed something quick out of my system. so congrats to this piece only taking 10 hours this time#(<- excuse to draw the new ml symbol as his earring)#it was nice drawing this though cuz the entire time it was just: how much can i draw out of memory#anyways 👋 to the seven people who sat through the time i only drew brain#don't think i'll ever have that same energy again but if i ever do cuz of ml: i am so sorry#(edit: okay i need to clarify something since the tags have been bothering me for months. 조각 can translate to slice too not *just* piece)#(i know google translate directly translates it as piece since slice is a different word. but if i said cake slice it would still be a 조각)#(maybe it's on me for not clarifying better but yes. he just wants two cake slices.)

i feel a little guilty for this bc i do genuinely think one of the only appeals of "fandom" for me at least wrt homestuck is looking for projects where people are doing cool things, but i am sinply just not going to care about it if clown isnt involved. and im also very much going to notice if clown uninvolvement is rooted in vilifying them where you allow other "complex" characters to grow and learn. you dont have to like gamzee you dont have to focus on gamzee if you dont but like.... it is increasingly tiring to see the rest of the antagonistic(used so loosely here stay with me) trolls treated like complex characters while the one who is undeniably, deeply racist and ableist in their depiction/framing AND is the child who actively works for the child abuse demon is just thrown aside as unsalavagble evil not worth examination, usually with some half assed comment about being an abusive man.
like. i love vriska genuinely i do. but if we can blame all of gamzees intricate issues on the notion they are a capital m Man and somehow erase the fact this is also a child and a very bad-faith coded one at that, then why is is still so illegal to utter anything about vriska invoking a very very white woman centric abuse of power + refusal to engage her past when she changes...? like i dont get into my identity shit on here but i am a lesbian and i am a traumatized person who has crazied in ugly ways bc of my abuse, i understand as much as anyone else why vriska deserves to be looked at with complexity and sympathy and its undeniable a lot of what happened wrt fandom bullshit related to her was rooted in misogyny but my god am i sick of the refusal to engage with other forms of marginalization ESPECIALLY alongside the insinuation people were not horrifically harrassed for those reasons with gamzee or their attachment is inherently more vapid than others. theres thoughts i have wrt treating gamzee likers as stupid and incapable of analytical reading (and therefore less valuable to hear from regardless of other things that may tie them to this extremely loaded piece of media) which hits on weeeeird biases on its own but ok back to my hole.
#i do actually have things im sort of working on btw. to sootge my own needs.#but by working on i mean i found old project concepts and am rewriting them in my brain#until i have the energy to do it out of my brain#ok bye. heart#its clown town#meta#kind of. i need a fandom meta tag or smthn but thats where i put all my thought posts for now lol

brain is doing...a thing? meds are.....good?
#to clarify#i asked to switch to non-stimulant adhd meds#because of my other fun health conditions i think im way too sensitive to stimulants#so while it worked for the executive functioning part of adhd it also made my heart rate super high and kinda gave me way too much energy#so i couldnt really like....use it the way i was supposed to? i ended up not using it unless i had to get something done that day#which like....works until you realize that its not just Big Things that need to get done and theres a whole bunch of little things that#just arent happening. at all. so! non stimulant version of medication. im a few days in and it takes a lil while to ramp up to working#but so far? im not anxious or super energetic but i still get the brain feeling that i kinda always thought was how the meds were supposed#to be working. like. brain is calm and clear. im not hopping from thing to thing or sitting staring at my computer waiting for dopamine#again only been a few days it takes a couple weeks to build up more. but i have very high hopes for not being in adhd hell all the time
