[for the voice in Pentious's head...]

You're a sexy beautiful snake, don't you let anyone tell you otherwise. You're a brilliant inventor, fuck yeah, sssslither on!

Send my muse anonymous voices!

Somewhere within his affirmations, new, amusing sort of thoughts enter Pentious' mind. Outrageous as they are, he feels they are still more rooted to reality than those generous judgements of his character.

He keeps chanting, chuckling a tad, claws no longer pressing into his scaled skin but gently resting over his arms.

"I am beautiful... I am a brilliant inventor.... Um... Fuck yesss."

He tries to repackage the thoughts, so it matches his lessons.

"I can... be helpful. I can be kind. I can be selflessss..."

Every time I have a day at the neuro clinic I have sooo many stories for u guys like I really had to go out of my way today not to spam the dash w how this one visit went. So much tea

I'm starting to realize that my Ne-Fe loop turns on when I'm too social. I start going out, get a little addicted to being charming and how people respond, and then I forget myself and my Ti, and drain myself on saying the right (or hilariously wrong) things at the right moments, and I'm so aware of how people respond to me but idk how I'm responding to myself or how I even relate to what I'm saying-- only that it's clever and well timed and wow I feel terrible. I need to go home and find my Ti.

I don't think anyone's ever asked about Shadow Yuna, so... what would Shadow Yuna be like, and how would Riku react to her?

That is actually a very good question! The thought of a Shadow Yuna has definitely crossed my mind but not since I've started actually writing out the plot for Captain (so it would have been based on outdated stuff). SO I will be kind of writing this as I go.

I think Shadow Yuna would be based on how she feels very isolated. She is good at making connections and integrating with people (useful for journalism as she puts it) but she has a hard time ACTUALLY connecting with people on a deeper level (like her goofy brother). I think this would just be her personality but it could be from an event in their childhood. More recently though it would probably be due to the fact that Riku moved away when he was 14 and she was 11 (current age gap is 3 years? its gonna be between 2-4) and he essentially left her behind. She was very hurt by this especially because she doesn't really understand why he left (its related to the palace ruler but its heavy spoilers).

I am not sure how this would manifest - I'm not sure why but a lighthouse popped into my head. I feel like lighthouses are very isolated but also symbols of guidance? Not sure if that would fit. But at the same time maybe something like a train station would be cool! Symbolizing the people who come and go in her life. Actually the more I think about that the more I kinda like it lol. I guess that would make her shadow a station conductor OR it could be a twist shadow - she's simply one of the people on the platform and kind of blends in with the "regular people". Something something being in the shadow of others something something.

As for how Riku would react? Considering that if she did form a shadow it would definitely be partially HIS fault? He would be absolutely disgusted with himself and devastated. He would absolutely do everything in his power to fix it but trust me this is going to make his already insane guilt problem even worse 💀

OMG YALL

Today I bought a real human skull from the curiosity shoppe downtown. He was ONLY 900$ and Ive named him Justin after several boys I've loved (and lost over the year) and I was SO happy on the taxi ride home telling the cab driver about my new skull...

This skull is a gift from my confident, larger-than-life, charismatic af, impossible to ignore, gorgeous, terrifying and powerful as hell 39 year old self to the painfully lonely, inexpressibly creepy mournful 11 year old only-child-with-no-friends-only-books self, because that yanno that disturbed, morbid, lonely little girl is DEEPLY loved by me, and is protected by me, and Cause tbh if we (entitled communist millennials who hate capitalism and know there are better ways) aren't out here healing our inner child, working on processing and healing those inherited traumas and carefully undoing these nasty inter-generational curses, then WHAT are we doin?

Also!!! If I can give one piece of advice:

heal ur inner child, y'all. Yall motherfuckers need this so bad lmao you might not even KNOW how bad u need it but trust me y'all need this shit..

Tbh, I used to be pretty ableist and think the whole 'inner child' shit was some fake-ass, overly sensitive politically correct granola flavored hippie shit, but NO... It is hella real and hella cathartic and beneficial to do these practices..

THERE IS LEGIT HEALING TO BE GAINED from comforting, loving, honoring and bonding with the child inside you, -THE CHILD U USED TO BE- which, like all esoteric mystical shit is eternal and can be accessed at any time.

When I first started to heal my inner lil kid, I would visualize the following: id envision myself as I was at various ages: a redheaded, dirty eight year old, filthy from playing outside, with a smear of jelly by my mouth from the lunch my stepdad made me, or an overweight, awkward 10 year old in a training bra who just wants to fit in and feel normal.. or my an angry thirteen year old self, freshly pulled out of public school (thanks to my rad af mom for that move) and learning to be an UNSCHOOLER, discovering cute boys, and cigarettes, and telling adults snarkily that I wasn't "rebellious" but SUBVERSIVE and watching those same adults grow pale for lack of good response..

So ANYWAY, I take the small, scared, abused, neglected child that I used to be, and i hold that child tight in my arms (in my minds eye)

I Let them sit on my lap, and I Hug them, and I cuddle and I rock that child, and make them feel safe, and seen, and loved and valued. i Tell my lil baby self that I Love them so much, how happy I am that we've made it this far. I promise to them that NOBODY IS GONNA HURT THEM EVER AGAIN, because they got me NOW and then i assure my inner child that it is safe to feel their feelings, that it's okay to cry, and that adult me won't ever betray the child in me that im working to heal.

Ngl y'all... when I first tried to do this work it was uncomfortable and made me sad and Made . Me . FUCKING. CRYYYYY. So hard. Like legit UGLY CRYIN LMAO but you know what?

I LET MYSELF CRY cause I knew that eventually, on the other side of those tears was something better and that all that pain would purge and lead to something precious. and it did.. and you know what the best, most rewarding fuckin feeling is??

Knowing that the 11 year old me that I once was is TOTALLY in-fucking-love with the 39 year old me That I am, and tbh it feels so good to be the person I've always wanted to be: I am confident and unafraid, a lil scary maybe, I love and honor my intuition, I'm tattooed as all hell, I'm dangerous, sexy, mysterious, intimidating, talented, hilarious, kind, willing to act in solidarity with my comrades, I'm beautiful, able to preform feminity without that performance ruling me n having fun while doing it, I'm capable as hell, humble, comfortable and at ease in my skin (and at any weight) I'm glamorous the way my great wise aunties seemed glamorous to me as a child, shockingly intelligent, super quick witted, eager and willing to learn new skills, fun and relaxed company to be around, a college educated lover of arts and music and books, not afraid to try new things, and always honoring myself...

I will be 40 years old in April of 2025, and I've already lived 5 lifetimes worth of doing!! I've been: a clown, acircus preformer, a heroin dealer, a lead singer in a ton of bands, a friendly and reasonable pimp, an alternative model, a part time SW, a burlesque dancer, a professional tarot reader medium and astrologer/, a house wife who was married for a decade, a witch for hire,.. I have legit done And been basically EVERYTHING I wanted to be and do- I wanted to be a good musician so I taught myself to sing and play guitar and ukulele, along with violin, viola and cello, etc.

I wanted to be a successful tattoo artist so I taught myself to tattoo (and now I'm 15 years into a hella fulfilling tattoo career doin what I love)...

I've done so much in 39 years that I'm literally challenging myself to come up with new goals and aspirations and endeavors to learn/conquer cause I've done EVERYTHING I WANTED TO DO. Lol

🌟 Essential Tips and Techniques to Alleviate Joint Pain 🌿

Joint pain can significantly impact daily life, making even simple tasks challenging and uncomfortable. Whether caused by arthritis, injury, or other factors, managing joint pain is crucial for maintaining quality of life and mobility.

This article explores various strategies, from lifestyle adjustments to therapeutic techniques, aimed at alleviating joint pain effectively.

Understanding Joint Pain

Joint pain can arise from various conditions, including:

Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease due to wear and tear.

Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disorder affecting joints.

Injury: Sprains, strains, or fractures impacting joint function.

Other conditions: Such as gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia.

Each condition may require specific management approaches, but many general strategies can help mitigate joint pain and improve joint health overall.

Lifestyle Modifications

1. Maintain a Healthy Weight:

Excess weight puts additional stress on joints, particularly weight-bearing ones like knees and hips.

Aim for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.

2. Regular Exercise:

Low-impact exercises like swimming, biking, or walking can strengthen muscles around joints and improve flexibility.

Avoid high-impact activities that may exacerbate joint pain.

3. Joint-Friendly Activities:

Yoga and tai chi improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

Physical therapy can provide tailored exercises to strengthen specific joints.

4. Proper Posture and Body Mechanics 💪🏻:

Maintain good posture to reduce stress on joints, especially the spine and neck.

Lift heavy objects properly using your legs and avoiding twisting motions.

5. Ergonomic Adjustments:

Use ergonomic chairs and desks to support joints during work.

Adjust your environment to minimize repetitive movements that strain joints.

Dietary Considerations

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids:

Found in fish like salmon and mackerel, these can help reduce inflammation.

Consider supplements if dietary intake is insufficient.

2. Antioxidants:

Vitamins C and E, found in fruits and vegetables, may protect joints from oxidative stress.

Berries, spinach, and nuts are rich sources.

3. Spices and Herbs 🌿:

Turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties.

Incorporate these into cooking or take as supplements.

4. Hydration:

Drink plenty of water to maintain joint lubrication and overall hydration.

Limit sugary drinks and alcohol, which can exacerbate inflammation.

Pain Management Strategies

1. Over-the-Counter Medications:

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can reduce pain and inflammation.

Acetaminophen is an alternative for pain relief.

2. Topical Treatments:

Creams and gels containing capsaicin or menthol can provide localized pain relief.

Consider patches for convenience and prolonged relief.

3. Hot and Cold Therapy:

Heat packs or warm baths can relax muscles and improve circulation.

Cold packs or ice packs reduce inflammation and numb pain.

4. Acupuncture and Massage:

Acupuncture may help alleviate pain by stimulating specific points.

Massage therapy can reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility.

Medical Interventions

1. Prescription Medications:

Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for autoimmune conditions.

Corticosteroid injections for severe inflammation.

2. Joint Support Devices:

Braces, splints, or orthotics can provide stability and reduce joint strain.

Custom orthotics may correct alignment issues contributing to pain.

3. Surgical Options:

Joint replacement surgery by Dr. Siram helps alleviate joint pain by replacing damaged or deteriorated joints with prosthetic implants, restoring mobility and reducing discomfort significantly.

Arthroscopic surgery to repair or remove damaged tissue in the joint.

Psychological and Emotional Support

1. Coping Strategies:

Practice mindfulness or meditation to manage stress and pain perception.

Join support groups to connect with others facing similar challenges.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

Helps develop coping skills and change negative thought patterns related to pain.

May complement medical treatments for better pain management.

Conclusion

Managing joint pain requires a multifaceted approach that combines lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, pain management strategies, and sometimes medical interventions. 

By incorporating these tips and techniques into daily life, individuals can alleviate pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall quality of life. 

Consult with healthcare professionals to develop a personalized plan that addresses specific needs and conditions, ensuring long-term joint health and well-being. 🩺💼

The Role of Sleep in Maintaining Physical Fitness

Sleep is a critical yet often overlooked pillar of physical fitness. While exercise routines, diet plans, and even hydration are extensively discussed in the fitness world, sleep tends to be undervalued. However, scientific research increasingly highlights sleep as a fundamental factor influencing everything from muscle recovery and hormone regulation to cognitive function and metabolic health.…

goal setting for projectors:

instead of setting goals for physical, external things and burning yourself out or beating yourself up because you gave up before the finish line, try to set goals for ways of being. we've all come across something interesting that has improved the way we live, whether its for efficiency, health, understanding, or literally anything that makes life more enjoyable for us. i say, work on those things that will make your personal life better. i am a splenic projector, and recently i have found success in improving my bodily health. this has been in the works for several years (im also heavily saturn ruled and saturn rules the channel connecting to my throat center!). it started with a simple intention -i want to be healthier. but there was a lot of trying with no sticking to it. the main issue was that i could not find the right type of excercise. projectors are really iffy with excercise - we cant do it too often or too much or we get tired, and splenic projectors can get sick. i also did not have any generator to excercise with! and wow, trying to consistently exercise by yourself as a projector feels like seppuku. i have my heart and root centers defined so i could do any routine i had for about a month or so but after that i just completely lost interest and ended up feeling bad about it. like damn why cant i do that? well. thats just not how i work and thats okay. at that time i had a lot of other stuff going on, stuff that was more important than gainz, like going through the motions of being a high schooler who lives in her aunts crumbling basement. and yes i was trying to excercise in this crumbling basement - me, with taste cognition, crazy. so it wasnt the right time. but now it is. now i do have the energy to focus on directly improving myself and my life. it all started when i graduated. i immediately had a weight lifted off of my chest and i could function properly. well rested and able to focus on whatever came my way. i am a 1/3 profile as well, which means that the way i reach these goals is by first doing research (1 line), and then using my authority to choose what to take into my life and go through that trial and error process with (3 line). so from the beginning, i knew that the three things i wanted to work on, the three things that i knew were the most important, were sleep, food, and excercise. so here comes the research. and sometimes its unintentional. i didnt google search "poisons in food". but the state of food in the us led me to wonder what exactly these ingredients are doing, what effect are they having on my body? also saw stuff on twitter that triggered me to do research. i just get twinges to look further sometimes. and i saw a documentary last year about the effects of sugar and its substitutes. over time the knowledge builds up. i became pescatarian. i know what the nutritional content of almost every food i eat is. i found a partner to go to the gym with, just about once a week (i have wet kitchens environment as well). im still finding a good way for me to do reps and sets, cardio and strength, without me being absolutely obliterated by the end, but i am pretty close to finding that sweet spot. and rest has been so, so important to me over these last few months. ive been putting my foot down and saying NO if im tired, if i know something will wear me out. and my bed... after a long time of sleeping on a futon i now sleep on a beautiful cloud that begs me to stay. this is an indicator of success to me, as a projector. i didnt have a tangible thing that told me ive completed my goal. and its still not over - there is much, much more to life. but now i am able to take on the responsibilities and benefits that come with being this type of person and knowing this type of knowledge. master what you know is good for you. what benefits you, will benefit anyone who seeks your guidance. youre the one who is teaching people right from wrong here. youre the one giving them the map youve drawn from the lessons youve learned.
