In the neuron, a protective covering called myelin insulates the axon and increases the speed of electrical communication along the length of the neuron

From conveying precise instruction to evoking entire new worlds, words and their meanings are central to our existence as humans. But how the multitude of cells making up a human brain take abstract noises or symbols and convert them into something with meaning has long been a mystery. New techniques that can track brain activity down to a single neuron are now revealing exactly where this sound translation takes place within our minds.

The frustration of KNOWING there is media out there with the very specific tone you want to write into your own stories and wanting to consume that media for inspiration/immersion/the joy of experiencing art on the same wavelength as your own but not being able to FIND it

“The Self is really a collection of several distinct neural networks, all existing simultaneously within the landscape of your brain. So if there are different versions of yourself, floating around inside your skull, which one is the real you?”

The thing is, all of them are you. But beneath it all, the real self is the one who puts on the various masks and costumes, while remaining whole and perfect beyond your perception. The task becomes to integrate all the parts of yourself, by accepting and embracing that all of them are versions of you — even the ones that contradict themselves.

Reality really is what you perceive it to be, your subjective worldview is intricately influenced by the objective reality, which in turn is how you continue to create your own. You are the world within the world. And you are here to fully embody all that you are, be shamelessly authentic in order to align your reality to the one you truly desire — the reality that only you, with all your unique traits and experiences could create.

Authenticity is accepting your multidimensional self — that who you are cannot be labelled and fit into distinct categories.. When you are a microcosm of the whole universe in this tiny human form.

You get to choose who you choose to show up as. This time around, choose to show up as your whole divinely magnificent Self.

anon needs to chill it's not a bucktommy/madney date, it looks like it's the 118 being rewarded or commendated for the cruise ship rescue which tommy was apart of so of course he'd be there.

remember how i told anon they would feel stupid? yeah, i bet the feeling is staring to sink in.

It always frustrates me to think about how many people would be against having a "queer" community once they realize what exactly it is that people are calling themselves queer for.

"I don't like having sex."

"I'm bisexual but that's too normal so I'm this instead!"

"My sexuality is healthy progression in a relationship."

"I don't like being associated with cisheteros so I decided I belong here!!!!!!"

Like what do these people have in common with us? Nothing!! Everyone is just so desperate to be included and feel like they belong, but guess what-- that's literally just the human experience and you aren't special. The community we created for safety and support is dwarfed by folks who just want to feel special, ladies. When did the natural, socially awkward/social networking phase just suddenly disappear? The state of being different or unique has been commodified into a set of "identities" that are nitpicked from the layers of personality then subsequently blown up into a single overarching trait to be paraded around like a trophy. I'm so very exhausted from digesting this mess.

Neurons are brain and nerve cells that use electric and chemical signals to communicate. They have a cell body, an axon, and dendrites. An electric signal in an axon releases chemicals into a gap between neurons called a synapse. The chemicals bind to receptors on another neuron’s dendrites, triggering a new electric signal. This is how neurons send information.

missing the simpler times of opening youtube and seeing a minecraft video by someone i’ve never seen before on my homepage, despite having not watched or played the game in years. missing the simpler times of watching one video, getting hooked and clicking on his channel to binge the rest, and then learning that he has two other online friends who also make content. and you could just tell they’ve been friends for years because of how natural their dynamic is, and how much fun they genuinely seem to have together.

missing the simpler times of finding out they stream on twitch, and would play on this survival server where they built a house and farm in the middle of a lake. missing catching up with their vods on youtube before staying up late yourself to catch every single bit of content no matter how late it was. missing the mining streams, building streams, parkour streams, fishing streams, and random aimless streams; because they all brought so much comfort and laughter during a time when days just seemed to all meld together. missing more and more as they started to add more and more of their friends to the server.

missing the simpler times of not realizing how big they’d gotten until their streams had record breaking viewers, you would see references related to them everywhere, and people kept talking about the lore (which you still don’t understand to this day but just went along with it). the only thing that was missing was waiting for the guy who started it all to finally meet up with those two friends that have been there the entire time, so that they could experience their impact together. wishing, during this time, that even if they can’t be together in person to experience it, they truly know how many people’s days they made better with something that started off as a silly little survival server.

Hell yeah automatic renewal on my library book

Thankfully both hisohiso and mugi came home to me in 20 pulls so i can still save :,)

Theres a part in Tsumugi's birthday party that absolutely drove me insane so I'll try to translate it and-

(I used my mediocre understanding of japanese for this, so take it with a lot of salt)

Muku : "Waah, what a beautiful flower."

Sakuya : "It's a gentle blue, so it kind of reminds me of Tsumugi-san."

Tsumugi : "Thank you. Juza also said something similar earlier, right?"

Juza : "Yeah."

Tsumugi : Juza-kun chose this blue daisy, which was displayed in the gardening shop.

Chikage : .....

Tsumugi : Fufu, it's a beautiful flower, isn't it? I got this flower from someone* before, and i like it even more now.

Chikage : ....Yeah, really. It's a flower that suits Tsumugi.

Tenma : ....What's up with those two?

Juza : No, i don't know.

*Chikage gave blue daisies to Tsumugi last year!
