Please help Fadel afford to leave Gaza and get life-saving surgery 💔💚

Fadel @fadel-dani desperately needs to reach €10,000 and his campaign is currently only 28% funded!

The campaign is VETTED #197 on @gazavetters list

According to Fadel's blog, doctors have told him that he needs surgery by MARCH to remove iron shrapnel near his spine, or the shrapnel will begin oxidizing and poisoning his blood.

Fadel also posted yesterday (1/28) that he was hit by a car and had tendons in his foot severed by the traumatic accident.

Please, help save Fadel's life by sharing and donating anything you can. The campaign goal is only enough for Fadel to afford to leave Gaza and pay for surgery. Thank you!!

That won't make me more chompable -_-

Now there's a vampire outbreak... great.

MCSR As Chemical Compounds

idk either man. expect very little actual explanation and a lot of chemical yapping from a very big nerd

Silverr as Silver Nitrate:

AgNO3

the above is the crystal structure

appearance is just a white crystal kinda like sugar

it took everything in me to not just make silverr plain Ag

silver nitrate is the most common precursor for all other important silver salts

also an extremely important compound in the development of photography! (and iirc silverr is a film major)

Feinberg as Ozone:

O3

produced during lightning strikes

pale blue at high ppm

only leaves gas state at cryogenic temperatures

naturally occurring in the stratosphere and absorbs UV rays from the sun

Fruit as Nickel(II) Chloride Hexahydrate:

NiCl2•6H2O

green

the non-hydrate form is a sort of olive-y yellow color

used to absorb ammonia in gas masks

Raddles as Potassium Permanganate:

KMnO4

Sometimes referred to as Purple Potion Powder

goes CRAZY purple when dissolved and is lowkey my favorite chemical

very strong oxidizing agent

one time i stained my hand purple through my glove with this shit idk how it happened

if made in specific solvents can look extremely similar to dragon's breath in minecraft imo

K4 as Octathio[8]circulene:

C16S8

also referred to as Sulflower (like sulfur and sunflower haha get it)

planar which is fairly uncommon for molecules of this size

can be stacked together to make sheets of sulflowers

Cube as Cubane:

C8H8

yeah this is self-explanatory

what is interesting though is that ring strain in 4 membered rings/squares is really high, so cubane existing is a bit of a chemical anomaly

i havent read into it enough to know for sure but i suspect that ring strain is why cubane is a precursor to a HELLA STRONG explosive compound

Reignex as PPTA:

Poly-p-paraphenylene terephthalamide

[-CO-C6H4-CO-NH-C6H4-NH-]n

the name is complicated as shit but this is just kevlar!

aka bulletproof vest material

looks fluffy when not woven completely together

aligning of polymer chains w hydrogen bonds creates EXTREMELY high tensile strength

Mime as Phenylmagnesium Bromide:

C6H5MgBr

a common grignard reagent aka a compound that can be used in a grignard reaction, an extremely important reaction in organic synthesis as it creates new C-C bonds

another fun fact about grignard reagents is that if water is added to them- or even if they're handled in particularly moist air- they fucking explode

extremely strong nucleophile and base

Poundcake as Xenon Hexafluoride:

XeF6

Noble gases don't react unless you REALLY make them

so a compound containing xenon is really interesting

colorless as a solid but sublimes (aka skips straight from solid to gas) into a bright yellow gas

fun fact a lot of instances where typical chemistry rules are broken (noble gases not reacting, octet rule in general, etc) involve fluorine to the point ive heard it referred to as a "batshit electron thief"

Fulham as Iron Hexacyanidoferrate:

C18Fe7N18

also known as prussian blue

extremely common pigment in paints and the first modern synthetic pigment

used extensively in The Great Wave

another one of my favorite molecules bc im biased and like inorganic chem aka things that contain metals

used as an antidote for heavy metal poisoning which is interesting bc it contains cyanide ligands!

Couriway as Bullvalene:

C10H10

in a state of constant resonance

aka the double bonds are CONSTANTLY shifting and reforming bullvalene into... itself but moved around a little

the bonds fluctuate so rapidly that in nmr analysis each carbon and hydrogen in the entire molecule is read as equivalent (for my non-chem people that's very uncommon and very cool)

formed through photolysis (aka using light/photons to fuel a reaction)

Hello, this is an excerpt from my fanfic about the Akatsuki being transported into our world.

Sasori x reader

(Sorry for any possible mistakes, English is my third language.)

No warnings, it’s just something cute .

Perfumed.

Her gaze lingered on the glass display case with wooden shelves, the dim light within, the elegant bottles. She wasn’t sure why she was looking at it at all. But her body was already moving forward.

“Where are you going?” a voice sounded behind her.

Sasori.

The girl turned her head.

“I’ll be back soon. Just want to check something.”

“Of course.”

His voice carried a hint of reproach.

“I’m coming with you,” the redhead stated, stepping after her. Rena arched a thin brow.

“Why?”

“So you don’t decide to run off.”

The Akatsuki exchanged glances, silently agreeing.

“Fine,” she muttered, feeling a weight in her chest.

From the moment she crossed the threshold, the air hit her with a wave of heat—spices, or perhaps flowers? It was hard to tell, but the scent distracted her from the pounding of her heart.

Sasori took in the calm atmosphere of the shop, his gaze sweeping over the space. As the thought formed, he hesitated. After all, scent was chemistry. Composition. Just like poison.

His eyes flickered over the small glass vials on the shelf, reading the labels: amber, moss, iron oxide… He recognized these components—though from a different, more practical perspective.

“You’re staring so intently. Do you want something specific?” Rena’s voice pulled him from his thoughts.

She stood beside him, already holding a slender glass tester in her hands.

“Nothing,” he replied curtly.

For a moment, she seemed to have forgotten her worries—peace wrapped around her again. With a hopeful smile, she asked,

“Can I… give you a gift?”

She looked at him with a mix of awkwardness and curiosity.

Sasori tilted his head slightly.

“A gift?” he echoed.

Rena didn’t avert her gaze from his gray-brown eyes. From the outside, it might have seemed almost rude—intrusive.

“Why?” he asked, holding her stare, sharp as a needle.

“I… love scents. It’s my little passion. A fragrance can tell you more about a person than you might think. Perfumery is an art.”

Her voice was soft, languid, like molten beeswax.

“And what do you want to say about me? Or for me?” Sasori raised a brow slightly, the hint of a smirk playing on his lips

Rena lowered her head for a moment, curling into herself, but then, with quiet resolve, she stepped toward a display lined with tall, somber bottles.

She reached out, slowly selecting one of the testers.

“Sasori, may I see your hand?”

Akasuna stepped closer, extending his wrist. Rena applied the scent with careful precision.

Bitter smoke, something sharp, woody, with a faint sweetness. Intoxicating… No, honey and tobacco? A familiar scent.

For a fleeting second, the Scorpion’s heart stopped. He knew this smell—had heard it before, but the memory was blurred. No image, no shape—just something warm. Something close.

Rena noticed the way Sasori went still.

“Its name is Chergui by Serge Lutens,” she murmured. “A strange, complex scent. Something between decay and eternity.”

Sasori lifted his gaze in silence.

For a rare moment, emotion flickered through the face of the living puppet.

“Yes,” he admitted. “It is art.”

Roleplay Ramblings: New Elements part 2

(art by global99 on DeviantArt)

Incorporating the New Elements

So, I went over the new elements in brief last time, but let’s take a further look at them today and talk about how you can work to help implement them into your games and settings. Obviously the writers at Paizo have done the work of writing them into the Lost Omens setting already, but there’s still some legwork to be done nevertheless when running the game in First Edition. So without further ado let’s get into it!

So let’s talk metal!

Prior to Rage of the Elements, metal was, at most, just a refined subset of earth. After all, where does metal come from? You dig it out of the earth, of course.

However, that’s not what metal is like in the original Wuxing interpretation, for while metal is extracted from the earth, the act of purifying and crafting it is a heavenly act, while it is also associated with death and grief, especially appropriate given the ease at which metal can be crafted into tools of death.

This isn’t to say that metal and earth have no connection, far from it. In fact, this association is explained in lore because Ayrzul the Fossilized King, the more sinister of the two lords of earth, actually broke into the realm of Laudinmio, elemental lord of metal as chemistry and and crafting, and stole from her several aspects of metal that he took and made his own, particularly poisonous and radioactive metals. The Sovereign of Alchemy was so upset about how her gifts were used she fell into an angst-coma where she remains unto this day, hopefully with someone snapping her out of it soon.

In any case, neither traditional elementalism nor Wuxing fully encompass what metal is as an element in the context of Pathfinder. So let’s explore those aspects. There is the Wall, which reflects metal’s density and strength; the Blade, which evokes it’s capacity for dealing death; the Conduit, which reflects metal’s ability to channel all manner of energies through itself, and the Spoke, representing how it can be shaped so readily into all manner of shapes, be they simple tools or the most complex mechanisms.

However, there is also an aspect of death and finality to metal beyond the sharpness of a sword or the velocity of a bullet, and that is for all it’s wondrous creations and their durability, they cannot last forever. Whether it be by oxidation, corrosion, or simply the stresses of time and repeated use, all metal eventually breaks down. Sometimes the remains can be salvaged to create new wonders, and sometimes it is beyond all but the most omniponent mages and deities to recover. Either way, even being nearly infinite, the plane of metal will one day succumb to entropy and rust, and be little more than a wasteland. But that is so far off into the future that even the Starfinder setting will be a distant memory by then.

All said, Metal is the element of creativity, strength, and inevitability, for wonders arise and wonders fall, and every moment before the end it worth experiencing, and who knows, maybe something else will rise up later?

As far as environments go, the plane of metal is pretty much exactly what you’d expect, landscapes made up almost exclusively of metallic elements with little non-metallic elements to go around. Forests of twisting silver crystals, mountains of iron, seas of quicksilver and glaciers of gallium barely holding their solidity, all of which is contained within the inside surface of a functionally infinite metal sphere. You’ll even find more mechanical environments in the places where civilized elementals live, forged from the world around them, as well as deserts of rust as things are slowly broken down by time and the careful guidance of the elementals that rule over that specific aspect.

Speaking of which, metal elementals typically embody two different poles of metal in aspects, either embodying the specific properties of metals, such as the liquid mercurial and zuhra genies, the magnetic and electical powers of pelogoxes and living lodestones, or even the quasi-supernatural properties of skymetals and other exotic fantasy metals with the likes of the skymetal strikers or abysium horrors. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum are the elementals of metal as it breaks down, like rust scarabs, nanoshard swarms, oregorgers, and even the massive ramshackle melomachs. Among the most influential are the elemental lords, Laudinmio, whom we already mentioned, and Ferrumnestra, the Lady of Rust, who rules over and guides the decay of metal and makes room for the new when things have outlived their purpose.This list is hardly comprehensive, but there’s a lot of clever ideas that go into them.

Meanwhile, let’s take a look over at wood!

In Wuxing, wood is not just trees, but also covers air itself, which is a pretty impressive connection to make in a time before people understood exactly what oxygen was or the role that plant life has in the ecology of the entire planet. However, wood is also associated with growth, as well as frustration and anger, but also more positive emotions like kindness and generosity. It’s an element that feels a lot, which makes sense that it’s the one element that is made out of living material.

Of course, the idea of wood being an element is incompatible with western elementalism as they typically see living things, all living things, as being made up of elements, not being one themselves and certainly not existing by drawing upon other elements. To western elementalism, if something has to draw upon three whole other elements to even exist (earth for nutrients, water and air for important chemical processes), then it can’t be an element.

Not so with Wuxing, in which all the elements feed into each other, propping one up while undermining others, which makes wood make more sense in that context.

But what is Wood in Pathfinder? Simply put, it is verdant growth and potential cultivated by wisdom and discipline. Plants are grown and planted deliberately, trimmed back when they would crowd out other plants, and the very environment is shaped and carved, as are many of it’s denizens, from the living wood, always taking care not to needlessly kill even as homes are carved from trees on a truly colossal scale. Which isn’t to say that it lacks danger, for though discipline remains a core part of the plane, so does strong emotion, leading to plenty of furious or dangerously passionate creatures that might turn violent attention onto neighbors and visitors alike.

When I say that the Plane of Wood is cultivated order, I don’t just mean that the denizens put some effort into keeping their neck of the woods clean and pretty. I mean it’s a fundamental part of the plane. The whole plane is fractal in nature. While in theory the bottom border of the plane sinks it’s roots into the waters of the Plane of Water, everything is plants growing on plants all the way down and all the way up, from planet-sized trees with contienent size trees to country sized tress and you can see where I’m going with this. While these plants often don’t literally resemble the plants on the next largest tier but in miniature, they can, and it all keeps going down, potentially infinitely, but like all planes, perhaps not literally. As such, one can walk across a vast field which is just a mile-thick fungal mat stretched between two colossal branches, or walk around a massive tree city where streets and roads have been carved from the “dead” wood of the tree, leaving the living layer mostly untouched to keep growing and thriving. Seasons and time of day are partially determined by region and the bioluminescence of colossal plants a truly unfathomable distance above or below oneself. For that matter, in addition to plant matter familiar to denizens of Golarion, there are examples of plant life from potentially every planet across the universe as well as exotic fare that can only really exist on this plane. Of course, some environments are more hostile than others, such as the fungal denizens of the Nightwood or the areas suffering from the blight caused by Ayrzul (yes, him again. Turns out he’s pretty much an asshole to everyone).

And speaking of which, let’s talk denizens. Now some may wonder aloud what makes a wood elemental from your garden-variety plant monster, and the answers a little complex, but it boils down to how cultivation defines them. On the one hand, sure, some wood elementals are essentially mobile fruit or plant creatures such as moss sloths, pine pangolins, or harvest regiments, but others are shaped by careful cultivation, such as living groves, which the art of which expressly references the daisugi technique of Japanese logging, applying bonsai techniques to full-size trees to create perfectly straight logs. Others, however, are carved or grown into shape, such as carved beasts, painted stags, snapdrakes, or event the mighty twins of rowan, all of which are carved into shape from otherwise immobile wood (often with a still rooted base) and breathed new life into them by the rituals of either the Kizidhar genies or Shumunue, the Carved Lady of Mimicry herself, who represents wood as an art medium which imitates life as well as the ways that plant life draws in animals as pollinators or occasionally prey. Meanwhile, her counterpart is Verilorn, Custodian of Oak and Ash who presides over all agriculture, cultivation, and forestry. The two once worked together, but have grown apart in the eons of the planes isolation, to the pain of both.

And so now that we know all this about these two planes, we can actually get to the point of this entry and talk about integrating them within the pre-Second Edition setting and your own setting!

Firstly, let me gush a little about how these two new planes, which bring the elemental planes up to a whopping 6, defying both the assumptions of Wuxing AND Western elementalism in one fell swoop (not to mention all the others) also proceed to take the same basic concept of environment (i.e., being entirely made out of their element with barely any intrusion from the other elements barring those mixed-element outliers) and elevating it. Even without the illustrations from Rage of the Elements book, you can imagine an infinite fractal forest or a vast curved plane of gleaming metal and find that beautiful and awe-inspiring, and heck, they did a decent job of elevating the concept of the original 4 as well for that matter.

With that focus on elements returning and mixing, it’s also worth noting that not only are these new elements mixing with the old ones as they regrow into their old positions, but in their absence the other planes mixed as well. While it will take countless eons for them to be re-slotted in, no doubt also outstripping the cosmic era of Starfinder, eventually air and water will be mostly cut off from each other as will water and earth, but those vast areas of air-cooled ice and churning mud will never really go away.

But how will this affect your games? Well obviously if you never touch on it, it won’t, but if your 1e games want to touch on the elemental planes either directly or indirectly, it will. For the Lost Omens setting, perhaps metal and wood elementalists are gaining more respect and recognition outside of Tian Xia as anything more than a novelty, and maybe in the face of having two new pairs of elemental lords that don’t share the presumed dichotomy of good and evil will make planar scholars rethink the effects of how mortal assumptions about aspects of certain elements actually shaped the behavior of the beings that ruled them.

In a more general setting sense, having metal and wood be elements in your setting may change the sorts of environments your characters might encounter beyond the borders of the map. If they find a place where the element of wood is strong, they might think they stumbled onto some remote noble’s garden with how orderly it is until something like plants growing plants clues them into it being not quite natural, or maybe dwarves and other miners in your setting try to cultivate an elemental nexus of metal to turn a location into a motherlode of ore and valuable metals, and so on.

I’ve talked a lot about the new elemental planes in this one, but trust me, it’s all going to be very useful for the next two entries, and I hope you’re excited to see where that takes us tomorrow, starting with how character options change in a 6-element system!

The Toxic Sludge That Ate Tennessee (New York Times)

Excerpt from review of the book, "Valley So Low" by Jared Sullivan in the New York Times:

A concise summary of Jared Sullivan’s “Valley So Low” is offered halfway through the book by its hero, Jim Scott, a plain-talking, suspender-wearing, Skittles-addicted plaintiff’s lawyer: “They had a toxic tub of goop, and it blew up.”

“They” are the Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation’s largest public utility. The “goop” is coal ash, the residual soot after coal is burned for electricity. Soot might not sound so bad (one pictures a burned-out campfire). But this coal ash contained arsenic, iron oxide, aluminum oxide, selenium, cadmium, boron and thallium, what Scott called “a Long Island iced tea of poison.” As for the “tub” …

The tub began as a spring-fed swimming hole. It stood near the site of the T.V.A.’s Kingston Fossil Plant, which, when it was completed in 1954, was the world’s largest coal-fired power station. Every day the plant burned enough coal to power 700,000 homes and produce a thousand tons of ash. The T.V.A. dumped much of that ash into the swimming hole. Over decades there rose from that pond, like a zombie crawling from a tomb, an ashy colossus. It broadened into a mountain range of coal slurry, sprawling across 84 acres — until, on the morning of Dec. 22, 2008, it collapsed.

A 50-foot-high tsunami of poisonous sludge buried docks and homes and soccer fields beneath mounds of coal ash as high as six feet. By volume, it was the largest industrial disaster in U.S. history, a hundred times the scale of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. But for years most of its victims believed themselves unharmed.

Anyone with a passing knowledge of Chernobyl, Deepwater Horizon or the World Trade Center cleanup will not be surprised by what happened next. The T.V.A. announced that exposure to the ash did not pose a “significant” health concern, but nevertheless barred journalists, lawyers, environmental groups and scientists from visiting the site. Workers were warned, under threat of termination, against wearing dust masks and hazmat suits, lest local residents grow alarmed.

One safety officer told his charges that they could eat a pound of ash a day and “be fine.” Incriminating air-monitoring data was ignored, manipulated or tossed out. Before long the workers, and the wives and mothers who cleaned their clothing, began feeling dizzy, having nosebleeds and coughing up “strange black jelly.” Later they discovered that the Kingston ash was not merely toxic. It was radioactive.

There is a grinding predictability to stories of industrial disaster, particularly when it comes to the behavior of the institutions responsible. Jared Sullivan, in his scrupulous account of the aftermath of the Kingston disaster, had not only to dramatize a convoluted series of abstruse, drawn-out legal cases. He also had to contend with his villains’ shameless lack of originality. The T.V.A. and the firm it hired to clean up its mess, Jacobs Engineering, played their assigned roles with great dedication. Nearly every strategic decision they made, Sullivan suggests, seemed calculated to be “cartoonishly wicked.”

While T.V.A. spokespeople urged the public to remain calm and downplayed the extent of the spill, internal communications revealed an institution adrift in confusion and incompetence. “This is unbelievable,” one employee says, despite decades of warnings. “We did not expect this.” The T.V.A. hired white-shoe law firms to force costly trials, refusing settlements and pursuing every delay tactic possible while the plaintiffs began to die off. Meanwhile, the T.V.A.’s chief executive — at one point the nation’s highest-paid federal employee — gave a speech declaring, “We’re going to clean it up, we’re going to clean it up right.”

Almost every man and woman in the world is suffering from some sort of anemia in one-way or another, especially those with black blood. The medical industry gives us iron oxide in tablets (the rock form of iron) when we should be consuming iron fluorine (the plant form of iron). Iron is the mineral that conveys oxygen to the body and most importantly the brain. Iron should have carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (the CHO chain found in things containing life). Iron is the spark plug of the human body. When you are deficient in iron, you are susceptible to a whole bunch of diseases. Iron fires the body up and is the only mineral on the planet that is magnetic. Being that iron is magnetic it has a tendency to pull other minerals to it. It pulls magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, gold, phosphorous, etc. When you consume large quantities of iron you are taking all the other minerals in proportion. The lack of iron causes over 20 diseases to manifest. Without iron, the body looses energy and the immune system begins to give way. There is no oxygen going to the brain when iron is low. Without iron, we wrinkle at a young age and become unable to walk with a straight back. The body naturally uses the amount of 3 tablespoons of iron a day. Top up your iron daily and cut out unnatural foods. The cure is of no use if you are also taking the poison. Here are some more iron rich herbs. Some are very hard to find.

Cayenne

Cancansa

Guaco

Cardo Santo

Contribo

Hombre Gandre

Bugleweed

Governadora

Yellowdock root

Cocomeca Bark

Ortiga

Prickly Pear

Nopal

Cherries

Maya

Watercress

Fonio

Fist bump to @chaudskis from someone else working in cleanup.

People ARE cleaning this shit up! Lots of people. It's long and slow and maybe more exciting to say no one's doing anything. And there are all sorts of contaminated sites where no one is doing anything yet, because there are bigger fish to fry.

Using it to make paints is a neat way to bring attention to cleanup work! Gamblin isn't cleaning up, though; it's using a byproduct.

The other thing to remember is that the dose makes the poison. Some things are hella toxic in very small quantities. Iron oxides aren't. They're a problem because you've got a shit-ton dissolved in highly acidic water; the pH causes problems, the oxides settling out can smother stuff because there's just so much, and other more dangerous metals can be in there too — but iron oxides on their own make a very safe art supply. The world's oldest, in fact — the ochres!

If you're into oils, you can buy the paints and not worry. About half my oil paints are Gamblin; they make nice stuff! Given that these are earth colors, I'd expect them to behave like ochres/umbers in oils; they'll dry more quickly than the brighter artificial colors. For safety, thin with Gamsol/high-quality-oderless-mineral-spirits, but rinse between colors with walnut oil instead of solvent. I switched to this last time I oil painted and it worked great. If you use these colors the sludge on the bottom doesn't have to be treated as toxic, but a whole lot of other colors do (the danger colors are beautiful).

So what this paint company does is take iron pollution from abandoned mines that are polluting soils and rivers and makes iron based red pigment paints out of it.

Basically they realized hey no one's cleaning this shit up, it's polluting the streams, killing all the fish, making the water undrinkable and there's a huge market for it so why not make money by cleaning it the fuck up?

They remove this stuff by the industrial bucket load from the rivers. The idea is if it's in a painting, if it's in your home, it's not poisoning wildlife.

anyway its cool as shit, please support tf out of these people https://gamblinstore.com/reclaimed-earth-colors-set/

in my spare time, I help my bf out with lancer, specifically in solar system lore. I was quite late into the campaign, but i provided basic ass information about the system in the fictional world

before you ask- yes most of them are named after nordic gods because they sound cool to me

---

!!Planetary System!!

Vascan - the terrestrial planet closest to its host star, it's melting itself apart, due to being near the suns roche limit. There is no chance of even approaching this molten rocky planet. Scientists suggest that this planet will collapse and crumble around its star, like a ring tidally locked

Heimdall - a similar sized terresrial planet to Vascan. Mostly containing carbon and lava pools. Also extremely radioactive. Do not approach this planet. It is the brightest planet in the night sky. tidally locked

Tyr - A reddish orange terrestrial planet. Desolate, a poisonous wasteland with unforgiving blistering winds, temperatures range between 280-376C. Theoretically a former habitable planet. What information we have on this planet is covered in caverns and steep, jagged mountains.

Azure - Habitable planet. Avg temp 13C Freyr- Another habitable planet, a sister planet to Azure. Mostly green and covered in luscious green forests. Avg temp -2C

Hel- A frozen rocky planet, covered in a thick blanket of ice, but could contain liquid water underneath its surface. Avg temp -100c

Njord- Water world, surprisingly. Njord may have an active core, which keeps the water liquid. Methane and sulfur has been found in it's atmosphere. Has a moon or two. We don't know

Vidar- Recently discovered terrestrial planet. Was previously thought to be a moon of Forseti until recent discoveries. Inhabitable. Frozen, whistling winds of up to 50mps. There is no hope of landing on this planet. It keeps itself hidden for the most part.

Forseti- Uranus sized gas giant, grayish blue planet consisting of copper oxide, helium and hydrogen, there is so surface

Magni- Saturn sized gas giant, orange and and yellow planet, hydrogen, helium, iron, ammonia and sulfuric atmosphere, no surface

Hodr- Dark blue, almost black neptune sized gas giant, the blue being stripes, similar gaseous properties as neptune, just add ice :3

planetary order Vascan - Heimdall - Tyr - Azure - Freyr - Hel - Njord - Vidar - Forseti - Magni - Hodr

The host star is a yellow dwarf, much like Sol

New strain of Covid-19

From Parasitologist Jelena Borisovna Katashova

The mechanism of Covid-19!

🔸 The virus does NOT cause pneumonia! Pneumonia can be seen on an X-ray! Changes in the case of Covid-19 are visible only on a CT scan, as they are a type of lung burn! 🔸 The virus causes multi-organ pathology! It attacks all organs simultaneously – the brain, spinal cord, kidneys, liver! 🔸 This virus acts like a poison! It breaks down hemoglobin, splitting it into Fe2+ iron ions and heme (a simple protein molecule). There’s no oxygen to bind! Moreover, free iron is toxic! During the virus's attack, this process occurs in all organs simultaneously. No matter how much air the lungs fill with, the body cannot extract oxygen from it! 🔸 Blood oxygen levels will be extremely low; in the liver, enzymatic processes and toxin neutralization will be inhibited, and in the kidneys, toxin elimination will be disrupted. Toxicosis, blood viscosity, and clot formation rapidly increase in the bloodstream. 🔸 In the lungs, under the influence of active atomic iron, a type of tissue burn occurs, causing the release of inflammatory factors and hyaluronic acid.

That’s why artificial lung ventilation is often ineffective! The body quickly deals with the virus itself, but tissue burns take a long time to heal, creating scar tissue and fibrotic connections not only in the lungs. 🔸 Later, infections from chronic inflammation sources (e.g., caries, periodontitis, cholecystitis, tonsillitis, etc.) activate in the damaged tissues, eventually leading to pneumonia!

📍 That’s the nature of this virus!

What to do? 😳 It’s better not to get sick or to recover in a mild form!

Knowing how the disease progresses, the most important thing is: 💧 Healthy and clean blood, liver, and kidneys! Detoxification is everything! Detox will remove toxins, activate enzymes, and help the body overcome oxygen deprivation.

💧 Blood fluidity is crucial! Drink at least 40 ml of water per 1 kg of weight per day! 💧 Only with Coral-Mine water! Drink in small portions throughout the day. Coral-Mine gives water a balanced pH level, surface tension, and a negative charge for proper blood ion exchange processes.

🌱 H-500 will reduce oxidation and toxicosis. This preparation with atomic hydrogen will neutralize inflammation factors. 🌱 Phytoviron – 15 ml, 2–3 times a day. 🌱 Zinc – has a direct blood-strengthening effect. 🌱 Antiviral effects are provided by pau d’arco bark, licorice, and cat’s claw.

📍 If you couldn’t avoid the illness? 📍 If you know you’ve been in contact and the first symptoms appear:

🔸 Take H-500 – 10 capsules in a glass of warm water in the morning and evening. 🔸 Assimilator – 1–2 capsules every 2 hours. 🔸 Pentokan – 1 tablet 3–4 times a day. 🔸 Pau d’arco bark – 5–8 capsules 3–4 times a day. 🔸 Pour boiling water over licorice, let it steep, and drink it while still warm 3–4 times a day. 🔸 Drink water – 70–80 ml per 1 kg of weight! Even if you don’t feel like it, drink water “through reluctance,” as the virus causes a dislike for water. It dehydrates the body, leading to thrombosis at any age!

❗️ Thrombosis causes mortality, even in seemingly recovered stages!

Prepare your body now so that it can fight these diseases, and have your home pharmacy kit on hand.

Inputting Information to Change Movement

The hypothalamus regulates the human aging process. When the pituitary gland atrophies, the body ages rapidly. If we can rejuvenate the aging pituitary gland, we can restore the functions of the nervous, endocrine, and metabolic systems, delay joint and organ aging, and ultimately realize the dream of reversing aging and living forever. The atrophy of the pituitary gland is related to the information it receives. By changing the input, we can revitalize the gland.

"When a person encounters a joyful event, their spirit brightens." A "joyful event" is just a piece of information. A person in despair who receives this information can instantly dispel suicidal thoughts and recover their spirit, even returning from the brink of death. Conversely, continuous bad news can crush a person's will and spirit, leaving them lifeless.

Food, medicine, and words are all forms of information.

A Conversation with a Sage is Worth Ten Years of Study

One conversation can be worth ten years of study. This is a way of transcending time and space. Many people spend years chasing dreams and exploring, only to have everything clarified in a few words from someone wiser. “The sea of bitterness has no bounds, turn your head to see the shore," and "searching for him thousands of times, I suddenly find him in the dim light.” This leap beyond time and space shows that while many people toil their whole lives pursuing ideals and die with regrets, others achieve success effortlessly. The difference lies in their relationship with time and space. You take ten years to accomplish something, while I complete the same task in one year—haven't I transcended nine years of time and space?

If someone meets an enlightened master—a celestial in human form—and listens to their teachings, they can transcend human limitations and enter celestial realms, transcending time and space.

Restructuring

When structure changes, the essence of life changes. The processes of growth and decay shift, and life can be revitalized, transforming decay into magic.

Restructuring means rearranging atoms. Bodily changes are essentially chemical reactions: oxygen combines with copper to form copper oxide, oxygen combines with iron to form iron oxide. People who live with pigs may become like pigs; those who live with celestials may become like human celestials. The elements entering the body determine the chemical changes that occur. Poison kills, but an elixir grants immortality. Grafting pear branches onto an apple tree produces apple-pears.

Living in the same environment with the same people, culture, and diet, or remaining in the same mindset, prevents restructuring. Life requires constant change. "A person thrives by moving; a tree dies by being transplanted." As long as there is change, there is life. "Ask the canal how it stays so clear—because it is fed by a source of living water." Injecting "living water" into a pond keeps it clear and vibrant. Otherwise, it stagnates. Constant change is, in fact, a way to transcend time and space.

Inertia is human nature, resisting change and clinging to the familiar. To restructure, we must overcome inertia.

Enhancing Vibrational Frequency

The energy released by an atomic bomb is enough to destroy an entire city. If 100 kilograms of matter were completely converted into energy, it could turn the Earth into a sea of fire. This energy comes from the vibration frequency of photons within atoms—the higher the vibration frequency, the greater the energy.

People who only act when pushed, and stay motionless otherwise, have little energy. From the holographic perspective, a butterfly flapping its wings in Alaska can cause a storm at the Cape of Good Hope. This is vibration at work—the higher the frequency, the greater the impact.

To raise our vibration frequency, we must sharpen our thinking. People who are too slow and dull find it hard to raise their frequency. Some people, when taught one thing, learn only that. Others, when taught one thing, think critically and learn several things. Some even deduce entire systems. This illustrates different vibrational frequencies.

The purpose of raising the vibration frequency is not to increase energy but to achieve a seamless and rapid transcendence of time and space. From my experiences living in the Second Home, I have found that some brothers and sisters have a high vibration frequency, embodying the saying, “Hearts resonate with each other.” They can adapt and live gracefully, freely, and effortlessly in the Home in a very short time. Holographic management is quickly realized among these individuals. Conversely, some people have a vibration frequency that is too low; despite my repeated explanations of many concepts, they still cannot grasp them. They struggle with very simple things, such as "don't interfere with others' hearts or manage others' affairs," "strive for excellence in everything," and "if others do not seek my help, I will not assist them." Such simple principles—such simple tasks! Yet they still cannot accomplish them. As a result, guiding them is exhausting, making it impossible to transcend time and space.

For those interested to know, the reason why these love locks are bad is because people tend to drop or toss the keys into the canyon. Condors, especially young ones just leaving the nest, are very curious and love shiny things (most desert animals do because shiny = water) and consequently tend to swallow the keys. Best case these keys cause irritation and they regurgitate them before they pass into the gizzard, but unfortunately a lot of keys are coated in bronze or plastic and therefore don’t cause an immediate sense of discomfort. When the keys get to the gizzard, the rough shape causes ulcers and in some cases poisoning; zinc is to birds what lead is to us, and quite a lot of keys are anodized with zinc alloy to prevent oxidation, ironically.

Also, big horned sheep and deer will also swallow the keys, because they’re cold in the mouth and taste good. Metallic minerals are quite rare in the herbivorous diet so they tend generically to like licking or chewing on metals, which is why mineral blocks are a thing.

The locks themselves can cause damage too; they heat up exponentially faster than the surrounding rock, which if there’s brush nearby can cause a fire. Heat seeking animals like reptiles can also burn themselves, being drawn to the early morning heat. What’s more, where there are a lot of these locks, they create a nice warm area where reptiles such as rattlesnakes like to hang out at dawn, when tourism is the heaviest.

So yeah. No more locks in the canyon.

[unhingedwomandiaries]

Let's be clear – I'm about as granola as a Big Mac. Yeah, I've jumped out of perfectly good aeroplanes and arsed around foreign countries on my own, but that just makes me an adrenaline junkie with a passport, not some hemp-wearing spiritual guru. I'll even munch those dried earthworms you can get off the internet because apparently I've got the dietary preferences of a deranged bird. But at least my parents let me have ice cream for dinner, which is basically what peak parenting looks like in my book.

So there I am, living my best fucking life, when this news story drops like a bomb made of pure what-the-actual-fuck. Turns out these fancy makeup brands we've all been throwing money at have been secretly including a side order of asbestos with their overpriced face paint. You know, that lovely little mineral that gives you mesothelioma – the cancer that basically turns your lungs into a horror show that makes Saw look like CBeebies.

Now we've got women dropping like flies and suing these beauty bastards because apparently slapping on some Estée Lauder bronzer was basically the same as licking a construction site from the 1970s. Makes you wonder if the makeup industry's secretly run by a cabal of serial killers who thought poison was getting a bit passé.

Had to do a proper CSI investigation of my own makeup drawer after that. Talc is everywhere, lurking in your blush like a murderous ex-boyfriend, hiding in your eyeshadow like a serial killer in a shit horror film. Even dry shampoo isn't safe, which is basically just talc pretending to be useful. Thank fuck my usual products are clean – iron oxides and carnauba wax instead of actual death powder. And bless my mom for using non-talc baby powder on me, or I'd probably be glowing in the dark by now.

But here's the real kicker – these poncy "clean beauty" brands charging thirty quid for a lipstick are still using this death dust! They're all "Our talc is different, it's special, it's pure as the driven snow and definitely won't turn your organs into tumour factories." Right, and I'm the Queen of fucking Sheba. Can't wait for some scientist to stick that "pure" talc under an electron microscope in twenty years when we're all wearing wigs and looking like extras from The Walking Dead.

The most mental part is how easily avoided this whole shitshow could be. Corn starch does the same job without the whole "slowly killing you" bit, but I suppose that's not profitable enough for these corporate cunts. It's like Big Tobacco all over again, except instead of targeting teenagers with cool packaging, they're targeting women with the promise of looking less dead while actually making us more dead.

All I want is to put on some bloody makeup without wondering if it's going to Hannibal Lecter my internal organs, is that too much to ask? If we've managed to ban things like lead paint and asbestos insulation, surely we can get rid of talc before it turns the entire beauty industry into one massive class action lawsuit waiting to happen. I've inhaled enough potentially carcinogenic powder for one lifetime, thanks very much. At this rate, I might as well just rub coal dust on my face – at least then I'd know what was killing me.
