#dynamic instability

[whats-in-a-sentence]

These γ-tubulin ring complexes are present in the cortical cytoplasm, sometimes associated with the microtubule branches (Figure 1.26A-C), similar to how Arp 2/3 is present at branches of microfilaments. (...) Next, the protofilaments (the number varies with species) associate laterally to form a flat sheet (see Figure 1.26A). The sheet curls into a cylindrical microtubule as GTP is hydrolyzed (see Figure 1.26B). (...) The hydrolysis of GTP to GDP on the β-tubulin subunit causes the dimer to bend slightly, and if the rate of GTP hydrolysis "catches up" with the rate of addition of new heterodimers, the GTP-charged cap of tubulin vanishes and the protofilaments come apart from each other, initiating a catastrophic depolymerization that is much more rapid than the rate of polymerization (see Figure 1.26C). (...) This process is called dynamic instability (see Figure 1.26A-C).

However, plant microtubules can be released from γ-tubulin ring complexes by an ATPase, katanin (from the Japanese word katana, "samurai sword"), which severs the microtubule at the point where the growing microtubule branches off another (see Figure 1.26D). (...) During treadmilling, tubulin heterodimers are added to the growing plus end at about the same rate that they are removed from the shrinking minus end (see Figure 1.26D). The actual tubulin subunits do not move relative to the cell once they are polymerized into the microtubule (see shaded region in Figure 1.26D), because the microtubule is usually bound to a membrane through a variety of MAPs.

Anyone else get a loud whooshing in their head when they bend or twist their spine ?? 😵‍💫

Fractured Narratives: The Collapse of Colonialism, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Capitalism in the Postmodern Era

Jean-François Lyotard, a prominent postmodern philosopher, provides a nuanced framework for understanding the interconnectivity and unsustainability of colonialism, nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism through his critique of metanarratives and his exploration of power dynamics in the postmodern condition.

[ deck ] your muse decking mine in the face. ( from henry for Reasons You Can Probably Guess lmao / @ladyseidr )

WILLIAM HAS TO LAUGH OR HE THINKS HE’LL GO MAD. HENRY LOOKS GOOD FROM THE FLOOR, TOWERING OVER HIM — wrong thoughts to have when Henry is so blatantly, ridiculously unable to understand his intentions, but William admires his old best friend ( is that what they’d been? ) as he wipes his bloody nose. Violent with anger, oh, what a team they could have made: if only Henry hadn’t been quite so moral, quite so cowardly. How can someone so brilliant be so afraid of progress? William doesn’t think he’ll ever understand.

Not that he has the time to, either: he props himself up on his elbows, scrambling back from the furious figure of Henry. “Easy now, easy,” he says, like trying to soothe a wild animal, half - scornful, derisive, and half - appealing. Hoping, deep down, that Henry will come to his senses, realizes the great work William is doing. In the name of science, in the name of eternity. Doesn’t Henry love him enough to want that? A forever with him? “Listen to me, Henry, just a moment—”

Heaving himself to his feet, head reeling from his sudden blow to the face, William gingerly smiles, touching across his cheek and jaw to ensure no breakage. It hurts like hell, sure to leave a bruise or two, but it doesn’t feel broken. He takes this as a positive: Henry cares enough not to damage him properly. His smile grows, appealing, earnest. Manic. “I understand that my experiments come as a, erm, as a shock to you. But if you hear me out, I can fix it. Fix everything. Henry—” And here William laughs once more, almost childishly enthused about his next sentence. “I can bring our families back again. Don’t you see how incredible my studies are?”

HER  GUN  WOBBLES,  LIKE  HE’D  KNOWN  IT  WOULD.  THE  WORST  PART  ABOUT  AGE  IS  HOW  HORRIBLY  PREDICTABLE  IT  MAKES  THE  YOUTH.  William pushes and she pushes too but the gun is telling of every single inch of pressure bearing down on her back.  We are not the same. I chose this. ————  And  hadn’t  he  chosen  this  too ?  Isn’t  this  his  design,  the  one  he’d  spent  years  perfecting ?

He’s only been living this for ten years and he is so terribly tired already.  For a flicker of a second, faster than the lightning outside and faster than the wavering motion of her gun,  he wonders just how he expects to do this for eternity.  Shoot  me.  Something  dark  in  him  urges,  pushes,  not  stepping  but  leaning  closer  to  her,  end  it  before  this  ruins  you  further.

THERE’S THEIR DIFFERENCE.  She  hadn’t  wanted  this.  He can only stare lifelessly, cracked lips parting soundless.  A modern day martyr.  Chosen for purposes bigger than she can ever conceive, forced to carry the consequences of them anyway.  At least,  in a sense,  he understands part of the agony.  Knows the pain of the ones she avenges,  because it runs through him,  literally.  If he lies awake at night as he so often does it’s almost tangible inside him, that excruciation, that fear.  He bleeds red and purple to carry them. She bears their scars.  They  are  different,  then.  He  cuts  them  down,  severs  strings;  she  cradles  them,  lifts  them  up.  Gives  them  life  –  reminds  him  of  his  Charlie,  his  niece,  his  girl.   Puppet. Drunken mistake, stupid spiteful grief: I'll take from Henry what was taken from me. Make him hurt. At  that  thought,  his  hand,  slowly,  lifts.  Tugs  at  his  collar,  tugs  at  the  unforgiving  fabric.  The  only  admission  of  sorrow  he  is  still human  enough  to  show  her.  The  only  sign  he  knows  exactly  how  this  will  end.  

❝ It’s  alright, ❞  William  says,  inexplicably,  ❝ it’s  alright. ❞  Bizarrely  tries  to  comfort  the  girl   staring  him  down,  gun  in  hand:  it’s alright,  you’ve come so far.  You’ve done enough.  ❝ There  is  no  ending  here,  Charlotte.  Happy  or  otherwise.  This  does  not  end. ❞   Repeating  himself,  like  sheer  force  of  emphasis  he  can  get  her  to  understand.  ❝ Not  for  them.  Not  for  anyone. ❞  DO  YOU  UNDERSTAND  WHAT  YOU’VE  MADE  YOURSELF  PART  OF ?  ❝ No  matter  how  many  you  try  to  save,  there  will  always  be  more. ❞

We  are  not  the  same,  but  you  have  made  yourself  my  parallel.  Part  of  the  same  machine.  He  is  so  aware  of  the  yellow  rabbit  suit  behind  him,  a  grounding  force,  a  soothing  presence.  Over  the  years  it  really  has  become  part  of  him.  It’s  alright.  The  words  turn  to  self - calming.  You’ve  come  so  far.  You’ve  not  done  enough  yet.  

His  turn  to  parrot  her  words  back  in  her  face,  half  a  smile  not  necessarily  malicious  seizing  hold  of  his  voice:

❝  You  can’t  tell  me  you  didn’t  figure  that  out. ❞

His sister's absence isn't unusual, but John has never much cared for her ways, her entrance into their family, a sister found in faith - the irony isn't lost on him, even if that isn't the sole reason for Joseph naming her that - rather than blood. But where John finds that blood brings the sins out of people, Faith uses her drugs. The Bliss. It feels stupid to use something of the sort, but Joseph doesn't listen. Faith is their sister because he commands it, and John has learned not to bring it up any longer.

But Joseph isn't here, and John doesn't care if most don't find her absence unusual. He doesn't trust it. So he leans his back against the table, crosses his arms over his chest, appraises her with a cold stare offset by a practiced smile that can feign warmth. He's sure she sees right through it. "So, where have you been? Had nothing but fun, I'm sure." He could say something if she left Hope County, but she's too smart, wouldn't admit to that even if she did. "The family missed you."

(and I've missed writing my FC5 muses, please take John being a little shit. I'll send Joseph and maybe my girl December her way too sometime soon)

It had been almost a fortnight. Enough time to get clean, sure, but no where near enough to be rehabilitated. Truth was, Faith had started to hear the whispers again, whispers from a teenage girl who had no where else to go and who had her own hopes and plans for the future fucked away.

Needless to say John was the last brother she wished to face fresh out of her drug cleanse. Joseph could make her feel loved. Jacob didn't a flying fuck so long as she kept supplying his men with barrels of Bliss, so if Jacob were here, she had a reason to be angry with the men in charge of production.

But John was here. And John hated her, told in how he constantly had his foot out ready to trip her up. His smile never reached his eyes — Faith flashed a shit eating grin of her own. "I found your latest fling and I pegged 'em legless." she claimed. "Someone had to give 'em a good fucking."

It was the childish kind of remark that Faith knew itched John the wrong way. Like siblings poking at each other's sore spots. But she was sober and in a petty kind of mood.

"I've been busy, John. Can you refine Bliss? Stabalise the formula so it retains its golden ratio of hallucinogenic and truth-serum properties while minimising the pesky little seizures and damage to the nervous system?" Perhaps she wasn't telling the whole truth. But in order to remain useful, she had to get clean. "I'd love a little fun. Fuck, am I finally going to be invited to a family barbeque? I'll bring the salad."

Iran launches drones at Israel

As tensions escalate in the Middle East, reports emerge of Iran launching a barrage of drones towards Israel, further intensifying the volatile situation in the region. The incident has triggered widespread concern and condemnation from global leaders, raising fears of a potential escalation in hostilities.

The drone attack represents a dangerous escalation in Iran's ongoing confrontations with Israel and its allies. Such actions not only threaten the security and stability of the region but also undermine efforts for peaceful resolution and dialogue.

In response to the attack, Israel is likely to deploy its advanced defence systems and may retaliate, raising the specter of further violence and instability. The international community must urgently engage to de-escalate tensions and prevent a dangerous spiral of conflict.

Efforts to address the root causes of the tensions between Iran and Israel, including regional rivalries and geopolitical ambitions, remain essential for long-term peace and stability. Diplomatic channels must be utilised to find peaceful solutions to the underlying issues driving these conflicts.

As the situation continues to unfold, it is imperative for all parties involved to exercise restraint and prioritize dialogue over confrontation. The consequences of further escalation are grave, with the potential to destabilize the entire region and inflict untold suffering on innocent civilians.

Power's Paradox: The Unsustainable Interplay of Colonialism, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Capitalism Through Machiavelli's Lens

Niccolò Machiavelli’s philosophy, particularly as outlined in “The Prince” and “Discourses on Livy,” provides a lens to explore the interconnectivity and unsustainability of colonialism, nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism. His pragmatic and often cynical view of power dynamics can help dissect these complex interrelations. Here’s how Machiavelli’s ideas can be applied to these…

[slaughterlocked]

ON JAN 3RD, @bravevolunteer SENT: I hope you die. I hope we both die.

REALLY, MICHAEL? IS WHAT HE WANTS TO SIGH. BEFORE WE'VE FINISHED BREAKFAST? Not that he can blame the boy. 1985 has been an awful year for both of them. The scrutiny, the suspicion, the sense of displacement - it's all enough to drive anyone mad. If he's feeling charitable, he can almost sympathise.

So, in a rare display of mercy, he bites back an eye roll. Doesn't let his temper rise like it's so prone to do these days. Instead, William takes another sip from his (irritatingly lukewarm) mug, and appraises Michael over its rim. "Don't let the locals hear you saying that. Do you hear me?" He says. His stiff-necked collar feels cool against his throat when he swivels his head to eye the partially-opened window, antsy, adding: "That's all we'd need. Another accusation to lob at you." Keep your mouth shut. Itching for something to smoke, or drink, or break, William wraps both hands around his mug, holding it close like its pathetically delicate make can ward off the possibility of further scrutiny from the neighbours coming their way.

He continues, as if Michael is the unreasonable, unstable one ( alright, actually, unstable is a label Michael owns just as much as William does ), as if Michael's words aren't echoing William's own burning blistering thoughts he can't quite shake. Contrasting to Michael, though, William's mantra is near hysterics, bordering on manic. I HOPE YOU LIVE FOREVER. I HOPE WE BOTH LIVE FOREVER. AND I HOPE YOU OWE THAT TO ME FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

His eye twitches. Too early for those sort of thoughts. Instead, he tries to sound placating. (Is certain he sounds condescending instead.)

"If you're ready to stop whining like you're ten years old, I need your help in the study today. Are you up to that, or will you snap and kill us both with a wrench instead?"

[honey-bitch]

Astro observation

Neptune 🪐 1st house - your mother might have a difficult birth. There might have been instability in home.

8th house placement- intense power dynamics but doesn’t always indicate abuse.

Taurus ♉️ IC - might have had a parent who liked to cook.

Sun in 7th house 🏠- may base their identity on their relationship. Might be prone to be co-dependant

Aries/fire sign IC- childhood might have been intense

22*- is a powerful placement however it doesn’t always indicate certain death but rather rebirth. Aka the wizard liz had her Jupiter in Pisces ♓️ in the 22nd degree. And she’s bawling.
