[mossy-rainfrog]

hello everyone, I made a series of doodles to put inside of my copy of MobyDick and I would like to share them :3 pls enjoy:

[ID: Two traditional drawings. Ahab shows off his new pegleg with a flourish. Ishmael infodumps about whales to a fond Queequeg. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]

New Leg Goofin is for chapters 108-9, when Ahab gets fitted with his new leg! it's right before a super devastating chapter so i needed to make myself laugh lmao

Wikipedia Page About Every Whale is for the whole goddamn book, honestly, but I chose to put it at the beginning of ch.32, Cetology, where Ishmael really does try to explain every whale ever

[ID: A comic of Stubb and Flask bursting into Ahab's quarters, thinking the Captain is in danger, only to find Ahab and Fedallah playing a game of cards. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]

This gem belongs to p.344 where Stubb wonders if Fedallah means to kidnap Ahab, which was such a baffling ridiculous concept that I couldn't help but make fun of it. literally Ahab snuck this man on board bro, what the fuck is fedallah going to do to him. they're playing uno. shut up

[ID: Two drawings, with the first showing Pip after being cast away, haunted and alone on the deck of the Pequod. The other shows Ishmael and Queequeg homoerotically grasping hands while processing whale spermaceti. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]

this goes out to chapters 93-95, because the UNREAL whiplash from "a child was just abandoned at sea" to "hey let's be horny about whale oil" is still the most insane transition of all time. Ishmael, what the fuck

[ID: A simply doodled meme diagram for how to greet a fellow amputee. The "wrong" answer shows Captains Ahab and Boomer shaking hands, while the "right" answers show Ahab in a handstand and then kicking his leg up high, both times to cross his prosthetic with Boomer's. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]

this goes out to p. 454. every interaction between these two absolutely delighted me but my mental image for the specific line about them "crossing ivory limbs" got. very silly.

[ID: A small comic of Ahab asking the Harpooners to give him blood to temper his harpoon in. They stare back at him with varying expressions of confused, uncomfortable disbelief. End ID.]

the last one, for p.504. yknow that feel when your boss just walks up and asks you to bleed on his custom made harpoon??? yeah uh. normal workday things

anyways thank you for reading, I had a delightful time making these and am so very fond of them all, so yea :3

credit as always for the designs goes to the darling @pocketsizedquasar , as well as credit for pricelessly annotating my copy of MD and thus getting me to actually read it, love youuuu💙💙

Fischer Poll Results

Once this is posted, all the playbook polls will be up! But for now, here are the poll results for the Fischers-

Most Smashable Plane: It's our first 'close enough Tumblr says it' tie! The König-Werke S4 and Teicher Möwe 13S-J both ended up with a 79.6% smash vote, though for the S4 that only means 39 smash votes to the 13S-J's 86. They're tied for second place!

Least Smashable Plane: The König-Werke S1 had a 35.4% pass vote, meaning 17 pass votes. It's in third place!

Most Popular Plane: By over double the Teicher Möwe 13S-J, with 108 votes- more than any aircraft other than the Theler Kobra MD, and for the same reason.

Least Popular Plane: The populace's absurd anti-rotary bias is demonstrated further with the Ritter Model D ‘SeePfau’ getting the least votes, at 44. As things head towards a general status quo, I'd expect to see a lot around that level.

Most Average Plane: Nothing particularly close this time for the Fischer-only part, but the Ritter Model D 'SeePfau' is somewhat close. Among all the planes, the most average is currently... again the Ritter Model D 'SeePfau', at 70.5%- just off the average 70.3%.

All the elements of the periodic table in the Kichwa language

Jose E. Andino-Enríquez, Manuel A. Andino-Enríquez, Francis E. Hidalgo-Báez, Sisa P. Chalán-Gualán, Santiago D. Gualapuro-Gualapuro, Simone Belli and Michelle B. Chicaiza-Lema recently published in the Journal of Chemical Education a proposal to adapt the names of the 118 elements of the periodic table to Kichwa (Adaptation of the Periodic Table to Kichwa: An Ecuadorian Native Language; J. Chem. Ed., 2022 99 (1), 211-218, DOI: 10.1021/acs.jchemed.1c00383).

The authors explain that the Kichwa lacks scientific tools to respond to educational needs, triggering the gradual loss of intercultural diversity. To adapt the periodic table to Kichwa, they took into account the different linguistic variations of the language and the opinion of the speakers. This is the adaptation compared to the Spanish version, the language most widely spoken in Ecuador:

Lo autores explican que que el kichwa carece de herramientas científicas para responder a las necesidades educativas, desencadenando la pérdida gradual de la diversidad intercultural. Para adaptar la tabla periódica al kichwa tuvieron en cuenta las diferentes variaciones lingüísticas del idioma y la opinión de los hablantes. Así quedó la adaptación:

See. This is why I'm going into healthcare. I am the autistic teenager who just turned 18! I hyperfixated on medical stuff so hard that for half the day I attend a medical class at a technical school and half the day I attend regular high school. At one point in the class, I had a 108% grade, and I finished the semester with 99%. I want to be a physical/occupational therapist! I am insufferable. My friends never hear the end of my little medical rants. I am about to start watching house MD btw. Partially for the memes as well! I am chronically ill and might have lupus, but everyone knows its never lupus.

Since childhood

Since childhood I have known that Jupiter is ten times bigger than Earth.

Recent research shows from the perspective of NASA's Juno Spacecraft

that Jupiter has normal water in its atmosphere.

Now Jupiter is a planet in which thousands of Earths can fit.

Earth has water at three levels on its entire surface.

So Jupiter's normal water content means how much water is there there?

Jupiter's atmosphere contains about 0.25% water molecules at the equator, which is almost three times the amount of water in the Sun's atmosphere. 

Here's some more information about water on Jupiter: 

Measuring water

The Juno mission's Microwave Radiometer (MWR) measures the amount of water in Jupiter's atmosphere by detecting how water absorbs certain wavelengths of microwave radiation. 

Water in the atmosphere

The MWR can collect data from deeper into Jupiter's atmosphere than the Galileo probe, allowing it to measure water in greater detail. 

Water in the ocean

Jupiter's large ocean is made of hydrogen, not water. The pressure and temperature increase deep in the atmosphere, compressing the hydrogen gas into a liquid.

Relatively speaking, there's not much water on Jupiter. It's gasseous atmosphere is made up primarily of helium and hydrogen, the same gasses that the Sun is made of. Together they make up about 99% of the planet.30 Apr 2020

Cognitive behavioral therapy strengthens brain circuits, helping to alleviate depression.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a widely used treatment for depression, helps individuals develop coping skills, reinforce healthy habits, and challenge negative thoughts. But can changing thought patterns and behaviors lead to lasting changes in the brain?

New research from Stanford Medicine suggests it can—when tailored to the right patients. In a study of adults with both depression and obesity, a challenging combination to treat, problem-solving therapy (a type of CBT) reduced depression in a third of the participants. These patients also experienced positive changes in their brain circuitry.

Remarkably, these neural changes appeared within just two months of therapy and could predict which patients would benefit from long-term treatment.

The findings add to growing evidence that matching depression treatments to the neurological profiles of patients—since these differ between individuals—increases the chances of success.

This concept is already routine in other medical fields. As Leanne Williams, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and director of Stanford Medicine's Center for Precision Mental Health and Wellness, explained, "If you had chest pain, your doctor would run tests—like an ECG or a heart scan—to find the cause and determine treatment. But in depression, we have no tests for what’s happening in the brain, so treatment selection is often trial-and-error."

Williams and Jun Ma, MD, PhD, professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, co-led the study, which was published in Science Translational Medicine on Sept. 4. Their work is part of a larger trial, RAINBOW (Research Aimed at Improving Both Mood and Weight).

Problem-solving therapy, the CBT approach used in the trial, is designed to enhance cognitive skills like planning, troubleshooting, and ignoring irrelevant information. Therapists help patients identify real-life problems, brainstorm solutions, and choose the best course of action. These skills rely on a network of neurons known as the cognitive control circuit.

Earlier research from Williams’ lab found that about 25% of people with depression experience dysfunction in their cognitive control circuits, either with too much or too little activity.

The new study focused on adults with both major depression and obesity—symptoms often linked to cognitive control issues. These patients tend to respond poorly to antidepressants, with a low success rate of 17%.

Of the 108 participants, 59 received a year of problem-solving therapy along with their usual care (medications, primary care visits), while the other 49 continued with their usual care alone. Brain scans (fMRI) were conducted at the study’s start and at two, six, 12, and 24 months. During the scans, participants performed tasks designed to engage their cognitive control circuits, allowing researchers to track changes in brain activity.

"We wanted to know if this specific therapy could modulate the cognitive control circuit," said Xue Zhang, PhD, the study’s lead author.

Alongside the brain scans, participants completed surveys that measured problem-solving ability and depression symptoms.

As with any treatment, problem-solving therapy didn’t work for everyone, but 32% of participants saw their symptoms decrease by at least half—double the 17% response rate for antidepressants.

In the usual care group, cognitive control circuit activity declined over time, which correlated with worsening problem-solving ability. In contrast, the therapy group showed a reversal: decreased brain activity corresponded with better problem-solving. Researchers believe this reflects the brain learning to process information more efficiently.

"Before therapy, their brains were working harder. Now, they’re working smarter," Zhang said.

Across both groups, overall depression improved, but therapy’s impact on "feeling everything is an effort"—a key symptom of cognitive impairment—stood out, highlighting its real-world benefits. Participants reported clearer thinking, resuming work, and re-engaging in social activities.

Importantly, brain scans showed changes in cognitive control circuit activity after just two months of therapy, signaling early brain plasticity. "Real-world problem solving is literally changing the brain in a couple of months," Williams noted.

Moreover, these early changes predicted which patients would benefit long-term, offering a potential tool for precision psychiatry—using brain scans to match patients with the most effective treatments.

"This is advancing the science and transforming lives," Zhang said.

Researchers from the University of Washington, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and The Ohio State University contributed to the study.

Massive Biomolecular Shifts Occur in Our 40s and 60s, Stanford Medicine Researchers Find

Time marches on predictably, but biological aging is anything but constant, according to a new Stanford Medicine study.

— August 14, 2024 | By Rachel Tompa

We undergo two periods of rapid change, averaging around age 44 and age 60, according to a Stanford Medicine study. Ratana21/Shutterstock.com

If it’s ever felt like everything in your body is breaking down at once, that might not be your imagination. A new Stanford Medicine study shows that many of our molecules and microorganisms dramatically rise or fall in number during our 40s and 60s.

Researchers assessed many thousands of different molecules in people from age 25 to 75, as well as their microbiomes — the bacteria, viruses and fungi that live inside us and on our skin — and found that the abundance of most molecules and microbes do not shift in a gradual, chronological fashion. Rather, we undergo two periods of rapid change during our life span, averaging around age 44 and age 60. A paper describing these findings was published in the journal Nature Aging Aug. 14.

“We’re not just changing gradually over time; there are some really dramatic changes,” said Michael Snyder, PhD, professor of genetics and the study’s senior author. “It turns out the mid-40s is a time of dramatic change, as is the early 60s. And that’s true no matter what class of molecules you look at.”

Xiaotao Shen, PhD, a former Stanford Medicine postdoctoral scholar, was the first author of the study. Shen is now an assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University Singapore.

These big changes likely impact our health — the number of molecules related to cardiovascular disease showed significant changes at both time points, and those related to immune function changed in people in their early 60s.

Abrupt Changes in Number

Snyder, the Stanford W. Ascherman, MD, FACS Professor in Genetics, and his colleagues were inspired to look at the rate of molecular and microbial shifts by the observation that the risk of developing many age-linked diseases does not rise incrementally along with years. For example, risks for Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease rise sharply in older age, compared with a gradual increase in risk for those under 60.

The researchers used data from 108 people they’ve been following to better understand the biology of aging. Past insights from this same group of study volunteers include the discovery of four distinct “ageotypes,” showing that people’s kidneys, livers, metabolism and immune system age at different rates in different people.

Michael Snyder

The new study analyzed participants who donated blood and other biological samples every few months over the span of several years; the scientists tracked many different kinds of molecules in these samples, including RNA, proteins and metabolites, as well as shifts in the participants’ microbiomes. The researchers tracked age-related changes in more than 135,000 different molecules and microbes, for a total of nearly 250 billion distinct data points.

They found that thousands of molecules and microbes undergo shifts in their abundance, either increasing or decreasing — around 81% of all the molecules they studied showed non-linear fluctuations in number, meaning that they changed more at certain ages than other times. When they looked for clusters of molecules with the largest changes in amount, they found these transformations occurred the most in two time periods: when people were in their mid-40s, and when they were in their early 60s.

Although much research has focused on how different molecules increase or decrease as we age and how biological age may differ from chronological age, very few have looked at the rate of biological aging. That so many dramatic changes happen in the early 60s is perhaps not surprising, Snyder said, as many age-related disease risks and other age-related phenomena are known to increase at that point in life.

The large cluster of changes in the mid-40s was somewhat surprising to the scientists. At first, they assumed that menopause or perimenopause was driving large changes in the women in their study, skewing the whole group. But when they broke out the study group by sex, they found the shift was happening in men in their mid-40s, too.

“This suggests that while menopause or perimenopause may contribute to the changes observed in women in their mid-40s, there are likely other, more significant factors influencing these changes in both men and women. Identifying and studying these factors should be a priority for future research,” Shen said.

Changes May Influence Health and Disease Risk

In people in their 40s, significant changes were seen in the number of molecules related to alcohol, caffeine and lipid metabolism; cardiovascular disease; and skin and muscle. In those in their 60s, changes were related to carbohydrate and caffeine metabolism, immune regulation, kidney function, cardiovascular disease, and skin and muscle.

It’s possible some of these changes could be tied to lifestyle or behavioral factors that cluster at these age groups, rather than being driven by biological factors, Snyder said. For example, dysfunction in alcohol metabolism could result from an uptick in alcohol consumption in people’s mid-40s, often a stressful period of life.

The team plans to explore the drivers of these clusters of change. But whatever their causes, the existence of these clusters points to the need for people to pay attention to their health, especially in their 40s and 60s, the researchers said. That could look like increasing exercise to protect your heart and maintain muscle mass at both ages or decreasing alcohol consumption in your 40s as your ability to metabolize alcohol slows.

“I’m a big believer that we should try to adjust our lifestyles while we’re still healthy,” Snyder said.

Este benefício, destinado a auxiliar na compra do botijão de gás de cozinha, é especialmente importante considerando o recente aumento nos preços deste item essencial. Cerca de seis milhões de famílias inscritas no Cadastro Único (CadÚnico), muitas das quais também são beneficiárias do Bolsa Família, receberão o Auxílio Gás, que tem sido um grande apoio na economia doméstica. O Auxílio Gás é pago a cada dois meses, e em dezembro, os beneficiários podem esperar valores em torno de R$108 e R$106, semelhantes aos pagamentos anteriores. Este benefício é direcionado a famílias com renda familiar per capita inferior a R$660, priorizando aquelas com menores rendas, residentes em áreas mais pobres e remotas, famílias numerosas e mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica. Calendário de Pagamentos de Dezembro: NIS final 1: 11 de dezembro (disponível em 09/12); NIS final 2: 12 de dezembro; NIS final 3: 13 de dezembro; NIS final 4: 14 de dezembro; NIS final 5: 15 de dezembro; NIS final 6: 18 de dezembro (disponível em 16/12); NIS final 7: 19 de dezembro; NIS final 8: 20 de dezembro; NIS final 9: 21 de dezembro; NIS final 0: 22 de dezembro. Este mês de dezembro promete ser um período de alívio e esperança para milhões de famílias brasileiras, graças ao suporte contínuo do Programa Bolsa Família e do Auxílio Gás. Curtiu a matéria?
