mumbo foreshadowed his own death earlier in the session. the minecart track is very finicky, with lots of levers and powered rails to make sure it works correctly. its the kind of system where if you breathe wrong everything can blow up in your face. multiple times mumbo got overzealous and forgot to check that everything was set back the way it should be which meant the minecarts just ran off the edge instead of gaining momentum. and this was still fine, because it didn't kill any of them.
the thing is though, on the part of the track you're supposed to initially place the minecart on they used a powered rail, but most of the time they had it turned off and just nudged the minecart until it ran onto the loop. but this time, someone had turned it on. mumbo, in his haste to try to kill gem, didn't bother checking if everything was safe. by the time he noticed the minecart was moving on its own it was too late.

What is Proprioception?
A lot of people think we have five senses, but we actually three more that many people do not know about.
Proprioception (pro-pre-o-sep-shun) is the sense of where we are in space, and it comes from nerve endings, called proprioceptors, in our muscles and joints. These proprioceptors tell us what angle our joints are in. Our proprioceptive system is both the parts and the workings of those receptors and our brain that interprets the information from those receptors.
Some people’s brains are under-sensitive to proprioceptive input, and we may seek out more proprioceptive input even if we don’t know that that is what we are doing. People who have difficulty processing proprioceptive input have trouble with motor coordination, and that level of difficulty may or may not be enough for other people to think the person is clumsy.
Proprioceptive input can help us change our energy level if we feel either sluggish or wound up.
Activities that involve pushing or pulling on our joints give us proprioceptive input.
These activities include:
-Chewing and sucking on things
-Push-ups, walk push-ups, chair push-ups, and pressing your hands together
-Animal walks
-Heavy chores
-Band exercises
-Many other physical exercises
Cheers,
Julia
P.S. Here is a short video about proprioception from an occupational therapy perspective:

Hey everyone, so the NIH freeze is over, but research is still in danger. Under DOGE and Trump's influence, institutions are now restricted in how they can utilize NIH grants. Basically, they are put on a strict budget for anything not "directly" related to research. That means that janitorial and waste services, animal caretakers and vet staff, occupational health and safety groups, electricity and utilities needed to operate machinery, and so much more may end up being unaffordable. This is going to seriously throw a wrench into research. At best it's going to slow things down if the lab staff has to be downsized and take on more duties for themselves; at worse, it could financially destabilize research facilities and the communities whose economy depends on them and lead to faulty research claiming lives.
I made an email template. Please add to it as you see fit and send this to as many representatives and people in power as you can.
"To whom it may concern,
Recently, the National Institute of Health has slashed funding for indirect research costs, claiming that it is necessary for the good of United States biomedical research.
Do you understand that good research can not be done without the very things that fall under indirect costs? HVAC systems, janitorial and hazmat services, and more are necessary for complying with OSHA regulations and the Good Laboratory Practices outlined by the EPA and FDA. Administrative groups such as Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees and veterinary staff are explicitly required for all NIH-funded research involving animals under compliance with the Office of Lab Animal Welfare. If universities cannot afford these things, what research is able to be done will be very poor quality and will undoubtedly involve animal and workers' rights violations. Moreover, research universities employ thousands of hardworking Americans. Many of these universities are already experiencing increased financial stress, are closing down satellite campuses, and laying off hundreds of workers. Restricting their budgets even more will lead to even more layoffs and eventually local economic collapses.
I strongly urge you to do everything you can to change this decision, for the good of science, medicine, workers, the economy, and even animals."
I'm scared to see what else has happened to the biomedical research community in the past 24 hours. I'll keep you posted if I can.
Trump may be about to sign the death sentence of the National Institute of Health, and, by extension, the Office of Lab Animal Welfare.
He gutted research animal protections.
Any vertebrate that isn't a mammal will have no rights.
Neither will mice or rats.
If NIH grants are stopped, researchers can't pay anyone. They can't perform research. They can't pay for veterinary services.
They won't be required to provide veterinary services.
The only medical research that will happen will be self funded by big pharma, and they can torture the animals and skew all the lab results that they want.
Just like Musk did to the primates in his neuralink research.
I don't know what's going to happen to me or anyone else at the university where I work. My job is to make sure the animals are treated humanely and to provide veterinary care. I'm especially scared about what's going to happen to those research animals if veterinary staff gets laid off. The USDA only covers mammals, and it doesn't even cover all of them. Every rat I've ever made a tiny paper gift box full of marshmallows for, every mouse I've ever watched grow up, every rodent I've ever separated from an aggressive dominant brother and then treated their tiny wounds, they have no protections if NIH goes down. Decades of research into humane handling, euthanasia, and animal behavior will be tossed aside and wasted.
Please, do everything you can. Protest. Contact your representatives. Anything you can do. Do it for science, for medicine, for people's lives, for people's jobs, and for the animals.

Understanding the Wide Range of Hearing Protection Devices Available in the U.S. Hearing Protection Devices
Importance of Hearing Protection Hearing loss affects millions of Americans every year due to prolonged exposure to loud noise. Prolonged exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can damage hair cells in the inner ear and potentially lead to permanent hearing loss over time. Some of the common causes of loud noise exposure include operating power tools, working in construction, attending live concerts, working in factories, and recreational activities like hunting, target shooting, and use of personal watercraft. Wearing proper hearing protection is crucial to avoid damage from these loud sounds and preserve hearing ability long term. Types of Hearing Protection Devices There are a variety of hearing protection devices available on the U.S. Hearing Protection Devices to suit different noise environments and user preferences. Some of the main types include: Earplugs - Earplugs are small, flexible devices that are inserted into the ear canal to act as a barrier against loud sounds. Disposable foam earplugs are very inexpensive but also tend to be less comfortable for long periods of wear. Reusable silicone or rubber earplugs last longer but require proper fitting and maintenance. Custom molded earplugs offer the highest level of protection but also have a higher upfront cost. Earmuffs - Earmuffs form a seal around the entire outer ear. They contain padded ear cups connected by a rigid headband. When worn properly, earmuffs can block up to 32 dB of sound, protecting the ears from impact noise and continuous loud noise. Earmuffs tend to be bulkier than earplugs but provide more complete protection and are easier for some users to insert/remove. Combination Devices - Dual protection devices combine the sealing of earmuffs with insertable earplugs. They offer maximum attenuation of up to 38-40 dB, making them ideal for work in extremely noisy environments or around explosive blasts. However, combination devices are generally the most expensive type. Level-Dependent Devices - Also called electronic or active earmuffs, these devices contain sound sensors and Signal Processing Circuitry. At moderate sound levels they function like standard earmuffs, but they automatically reduce amplification and lower sound transmission when noise exceeds safe limits. This allows normal hearing at lower volumes but protection from sudden loud bursts. Get more insights on U.S. Hearing Protection Devices

"SEES LIVES MENACED IN HOSPITAL AND JAIL," Toronto Star. March 27, 1934. Page 1. ---- Improper Installations, Organizer for Steamfitters Declares ---- There was a sharp clash between W. A. Baird (High Park) and John Bruce, organizer for the Steamfitters' Union, before the labor committee of the legislature to-day when a bill sponsored by Hon. J. M. Robb, minister of health and labor, came before the committee. There was a sharp clash between W. A. Baird (High Park) and John Bruce, organizer for the Steamfitters' Union, before the labor committee of the legislature to-day when a bill sponsored by Hon. J. M. Robb, minister of health and labor, came before the committee.
The bill is aimed to license and regulate master and journeymen steamfitters and plumbers in the installation of heating systems.
Mr. Bruce stated that a man at the Home for Incurables, who is an electrician, was installing a system with the aid of a fireman. "The whole thing is criminal and anything is liable to happen in that place," he declared.
"That is a slanderous statement," said Mr. Baird. "The man is a first-class engineer besides being an electrician. I can prove it. I am vice-chairman on the board of the Home for Incurables. This is just a fight between the stationary engineers and steamfitters."
Mr. Bruce said he could prove his charge. Mr. Baird challenged him to do so.
Mr. Bruce also stated that at present at the Toronto jail a system of heating under a 50-pound pressure is being improperly installed. "Anything is liable to happen there. The situation has added danger with the prisoners cooped up in their cells at night," he said.
"Isn't it true that in each case you speak of, Mr. Bruce, there isn't a qualified stationary engineer in charge of the work?" the chairman asked. Mr. Bruce did not answer and the chairman stated the committee was only interested in the principle of the bill and not in a private feud.
It was decided to meet again tomorrow at 10 a.m. to discuss the bill.

What does vestibular mean?
Many people think that we have only five senses, but we actually have three more senses that many people do not know about.
The vestibular sense is the sense of where our head is compared to where up and down are, and it helps us balance. Our vestibular system is the parts and the workings of both our inner ears and our brain that interprets the information from our inner ears.
Here is a link to a 4-minute YouTube video that explains the parts and workings of the vestibular system:
youtube
Here is a link to a 2-minute YouTube video that explains the vestibular system from a sensory occupational therapy perspective:
https://youtu.be/ueDQjhJDqIg?si=TPU5q32DuQdesnBX
youtube
Some people are more or less sensitive to vestibular input than most people are. People who are more sensitive to vestibular input tend to avoid it, and people who are less sensitive to it tend to seek it out, even if they do not know that that is what they are doing.
Vestibular input tends to make people feel more awake. (If you want to use vestibular input to help yourself feel more awake, please be careful to not make yourself feel sick to your stomach.) Some slow and rhythmic activities, like rocking back and forth, can be calming.
Any activity that involves moving our head a lot stimulates our vestibular system. These activities include:
-Bouncing or rolling on an exercise ball
- As a small child: being thrown up in the air, getting bounced on an adult’s lap, or getting pulled around in a blanket
- Doing gymnastic moves such as handstands, cartwheels, and somersaults
- Playing on playground equipment such as swings and slides
- Doing team or individual sports with very fast movement
- Spinning in a chair
- Going on amusement park rides
- Riding in a car that is going fast onto the highway
Cheers,
Julia

Palestinian factions react to Donald Trump's comments about the US occupying and "developing" the Gaza Strip.
🟢 Hamas condemned Trump's statements "in the strongest terms." "We affirm that these statements are hostile to our people and our cause and will not serve stability in the region. Rather, they will pour oil on the fire. We will not allow any country in the world to occupy our land or impose guardianship over our great Palestinian people who have offered rivers of blood to liberate our land from occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital."
Hamas called on Trump to retract his statements, which they deemed irresponsible and at odds with international law. They called on the Arab League and UN to address these comments.
⚫ Palestinian Islamic Jihad considered that Trump's comments, made while receiving the wanted Netanyahu, "are nothing more than a new version of the ill-fated Balfour Promise—where those who have nothing are promised to those who do not deserve it."
They called the event "a meeting between the war criminal and the arrogant real estate mogul, which epitomized the reality of the American-zionist project in our region." This project works through intimidation, brute force, and genocide, "flouting all laws, regulations, and the will of our peoples."
PIJ affirmed that these statements leave no doubt that the US is leading a war of genocide, displacement, and the expansion of occupation. They considered Trump's plans, from ending UNRWA to seizing land, are a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security.
PIJ concluded: "Our Palestinian people, who have been resisting for over a hundred years, will not succumb to the dictates of Trump or anyone else. His foolish statements will only serve as motivation for us to reinforce our resistance until we achieve our objectives of liberating our land and ending the occupation. Our Palestinian people and their resistance forces are more determined and resolute than ever in confronting these conspiracies, and we call on the Arab and Islamic peoples to stand against this conspiratorial project, which targets all the peoples of our region and portends serious impending threats."
🔴 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was similarly direct: Gaza is not a real estate project.
They considered the statements "nothing but an extension of the genocide war waged by the Zionist enemy under the direct American cover, and an attempt to establish a new colonial project based on ethnic cleansing and the uprooting of our people from their land."
They added: "Gaza is not a commodity in the hands of a war merchant like Trump or anyone else; rather, it is an integral part of historical Palestine, which stretches from Ras al-Naqoura to Rafah, and it is the gateway upon which the forces of colonialism have repeatedly crashed throughout history."
"Any dream of controlling Gaza is merely an illusion that will shatter against the rock of the steadfastness and resistance of our people, and the fate of any American occupation force in the Strip will be no different from that of the zionist enemy; our people will confront it with all their strength and determination, just as they repelled the zionist aggression."
"Gaza will forever remain a graveyard for invaders and an oasis of steadfastness and resistance for its free and dignified people."
The PFLP called on all people to "confront this colonial scheme." "We especially urge the active forces in the United States to take to the streets and declare their rejection of this new crime, which reflects the true face of American imperialism that colludes with the zionist occupation. Our struggle against this colonial, extirpatory project is the battle of all free peoples who reject colonialism, displacement, and the uprooting of a free people from their land."

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on “autistic minecraft girlies” to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a children’s video game.
