Aging Strong: Maintaining Healthy Bone Density at 60 and Beyond
Maintaining strong and healthy bones becomes increasingly crucial as we age, particularly for those over 60. This article offers practical techniques for increasing bone density and general bone health. Bone density measures the amount of mineral content in your bones and is critical for bone strength and resilience.
Hormonal changes, sedentary lifestyles, and certain medical problems can all have an effect on bone density in older persons. Maintaining and improving bone density requires a well-balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein. Exercise, particularly weight-bearing activities and resistance training, is essential for encouraging bone formation.

quick question, but theoretically, could you use the leftover blood and fat and muscle of a party member who's already dead to revive another dead human?
Like using dragon meat and blood to revive Fallin but with... other humans instead of monsters?
Say for example that dickhead tallman Maximus just got stabbed by living armor but no one really likes him and he's a major scumbag to women, and was so arrogant that he got our lockpick killed too. Unfortunately the half-foot lockpick doesn't have enough fat and muscle to keep going after another resurrection, but... Maximus is a pretty decent adventurer despite his shite personality. He's got a good amount of fat and muscle, and he's already dead anyway. He could easily take a revival or three. We were gonna drop him after this dive anyway, and we really need our lockpick back. We don't even need to take a lot as Half-foots don't need as much comparatively to survive. All we have to do is heal our lockpick and leave Maximus somewhere easy to find! If he's 20 lbs lighter, then maybe he just wasn't a very good adventurer after all. I wonder if this a regular occurrence. I wonder how all those walking human skeletons got there in the first place.

hypothetically speaking how powerful would Machete be if he got competent therapy and came out 100% problem-free?
Hard to say. He might be less ambitious actually. He's extremely driven and hardworking in both iterations and it's mostly thanks to his low self-esteem. He's a compensating and overachieving perfectionist and feels like if he's not giving it 110% at all times he's doing an unsatisfactory job .

“Character A didn’t love Character B because they hurt them” discourse is truly terrible because it assigns a moral value to love that simply does not exist. love doesn’t actually mean anything about someone’s character. it doesn’t make someone’s actions toward another any better or any worse, it doesn’t prevent atrocities, and it doesn’t prevent abuse.
love is a worthless emotion when it comes to morals because it simply holds no bearing on them. true love doesn’t exist. there is no better or more pure version of love. in the end love doesn’t mean anything. it’s a non-emotion. it’s the child of passion and affection and dedication. doing something bad doesn’t preclude a feeling of love, because a lack of love isn’t a requirement for immoral actions, and morality isn’t a requirement for feeling love.

I wonder sometimes what the L&Co crew did after they aged out of having the sight. Obviously Lucy makes some mention of them helping DEPRAC clear the other side and you can help with that even w/o sight thanks to the Orpheus society, but I don’t imagine they did that forever or even full time.
I’ve actually thought a LOT about what I think they end up doing as adults so… here’s an extremely long post about it:
George’s path is obvious to me. He becomes a foremost voice on the nature of the problem, and he’s able to go to Oxford for university (or the most prestigious UK university still running) on this basis. He gets a degree in history and goes on to a PHD. He then dedicates several years to writing a complete, multi-volume, history of the problem/agencies/corruption/visitors (which will go down in history as THE TEXT about the problem)
… I’ll put the rest under the cut bc this is fr going to be lonnnng
We also know from the existence of Lockwood and Co the books that Lucy at some point metatextually writes a memoir detailing the antics of Lockwood and co. (Which, go off girlboss, she did a great job.) For Lucy’s career path, I imagine that she is a formal DEPRAC partner for a time goes to the other side more than any of her other L&Co colleagues to help out.
This may be a weird take, but I also think that Lucy’s relationship with the Skull and all the weird experiments on ghosts she witnesses lead her to go all GHOST RIGHTS. She campaigns for seeing ghosts differently and repsecting the dead and works to get DEPRAC to create better regulations for how sources are treated when contained and advocates for figuring out how to release them to the other side rather than destroying sources as a first move. Idk I think it suits her relationship to ghosts; she’s definitely more invested in their humanity than other agents.
I don’t think Lockwood would try to hire young agents as a supervisor to keep the agency going after losing his sight. Especially since he’s aware that the problem is fading and considering he’d still have work available through DEPRAC. I think Lockwood spends his first few post-sight years in lots of therapy and takes time off from working since he’s been running a very intense business since he was like 14. I also think he foots the bill for Flo to get a therapist as well.
They’re both able to work through their grief and trauma from the people they’ve lost, Lockwood works through his habit of repressing his feelings, and Flo works through her feelings of being cornered while in doors. Flo eventually moves into Portland Row, and she and George and Lucy and Lockwood spend most of their young adult lives (whole lives if you ask me) living in the same house or living right next door to each other.
As for Lockwood’s actual career path I think Lockwood’s would make it his life’s work to share his parents findings. He spreads the traditional burial practices and ways to ward off ghosts like that Lockwood’s parent’s researched to help people protect themselves from ghosts around the UK as the problem fades.
I don’t know that I see Flo having a real job. I could see her in advocacy for housing insecure youth (we know London has MANY due to the Problem) but I’d also like to see her have a relaxing-ass life. Enjoy therapy and her friends, date George, plant a vegetable garden. Flo’s never cared much about material goods so I could see her working odd jobs here and there to help contribute to Portland Row Expenses, but mostly focus on nonprofit work and political activism while enjoying her life.
I think both Kipps and Holly stay on at Lockwood and co until it permanently disbands, then I imagine they both work to advocate for the rights of former agents in some capacity. If Holly could further her eduction I think she’d work in the legal system, maybe working in administration/research on cases that are attempting to hold leaders of the Orpheus society and high up Fittes and Rottweil people accountable for compensating traumatized former agents. Oh and she asks out that girl from DEPRAC she was living with (and they were roommates oh my god they were roommates)
I think Kipps might (after he’s matured a bit) get involved with a young adult professional development program trying to address all of the former agents and nightwatch kids who forwent education at a young age to hunt ghosts and help them access free education and classes to gain new marketable skills as the ghost hunting industry declines and kids age out of the sight. He also stops beefing with teenagers (so much) and lives out his destiny as surrogate brother/20 year old adopted father to Lucy George and the rest. And he gets himself a husband bc he deserves it 😤
As for the Skull… I’m in the camp that he does return and he occasionally stops by Portland Row to chat with Lucy and pull poltergeists type pranks on the other residents. When Lucy can no longer hear him 🥲 I still think he sticks around for a while, making his presence known by moving objects and helping keep the house cool in the summer (yayyy ghost chill), he also still speaks to Lucy when she does work on the other side with DEPRAC. But eventually, maybe when Lucy’s in her late twenties, the skull feels ready to move on, and Lucy visits to the other side to say good by and help him pass on.

ok, so hear me out: Jesper, slowly unmasking himself around Wylan
Because he realises that he can fidget, play with coins, twist revolvers when he is nervous or bored, and walk around the room and make funny remarks while he is reading documents to Wylan, and Wylan will not be annoyed or angry as a lot of people around Jesper were, and if Jesper will really disturb him he will just say, and say it not like he is snapping
And one time when he actually asked Wylan if it was okay that he started walking around the room while reading documents, Wylan just rolled his eyes and said something like "Jes, it is fine, I know you, I wasn't expecting you to sit still for five hours, let's just finish with these agreements with Dryden and make a break, I think you also already hungry" because Wylan doesn't want some calm quiet person to read him documents in monotonic voice while sitting perfectly still, he just wants Jesper and wants him for who he is
