@eevee over 1/3 of drugs have known interactions with the mitochondrial electron transport chain in some fashion. most are unexplored and some may even be a contributing factor to mechanism of action.

we mostly only notice them when people get idiosyncratic drug reactions.
@eevee we have little to no idea how a large portion of psychiatric drugs work. even the mechanism of action of something as traditional as lithium is basically unknown.
@eevee SSRIs are judged in animal models with their acute effect, often in something like the "forced swim test". in humans, we judge them by their long-term effect after 2+ weeks and actively expect them to have no useful acute effect. there is no good justification for this

i cant guarantee it works this way for everyone but there's one bit of advice i've found super useful when trying to learn stuff (i don't remember where i first read it)

basically: "to learn things, you need immediate feedback when you are wrong"
because if you have anything *less* than immediate feedback, your brain is reinforcing the mistake merely by doing it, and you need to (as fast as possible) stop yourself from having that happen, so you don't lay down the wrong wires
so the learning techniques that tend to work best (at least for me) tend to be interactive methods that arrest the mistake as quickly as possible

so marie and i just did a thing that i would recommend to anyone wanting to get better at cosplay photography, whether as a subject or camera-wielder
find cosplayers who have work that inspires you, similar to what you'd like to do. check out their photos: bonus points if they have photo books or big photo sets.

go through the photos. postmortem them all. roast the things that don't work. spot all the clever things that did.
"this pose makes her look too wide". note it down! "she used her long hair here to avoid her back looking out of proportion". note it down! "her friend stood farther back in this photo to make her look relatively smaller." note it down!

This year's #WorldMentalHealthDay in UK included more voices than ever before fed-up with the bunting and awareness-raising pointing out that change has not come quickly enough. This is a thread has always been present but has really gathered steam over the last couple of years
A few things have contributed to this. There's more people each year for whom things haven't 'got better'. More people finding their connections with each other organically, not through membership of organisations and initiatives. And there's the effect of policy on communities
I think also connection via social media has moved #mentalhealth into being a political rather than personal issue. More people are asking concrete questions and making concrete demands that are not about changing attitudes in everyday life but changing policy and public spending

🌏🌍🌎🔥🧠 On #WorldMentalHealthDay, I'm thinking about how climate change and environmental degradation act on our mental, spiritual, emotional, and behavioral health.

It should come as no surprise that a rapidly changing environment changes us, too. 👇👇
In the face of global climate change, there are folks out there who believe their children have no future. Some of us can't bring ourselves to have children in the first place because of this environmental chaos.

You might be one of these people. (I might be!)
We have words for these feelings: ecoanxiety, climate grief, environmental melancholia, solastalgia, pre-traumatic stress disorder.

I know high-schoolers who are preparing for their future with an urgency and uncanny resignation they usually reserve for active-shooter drills.

Here's a few more thoughts on economics, following up from last night's monster thread on money, infrastructure, and the going price of power.
Allow me to explain my take on Marx in a little bit more detail, in order to articulate the way he binds the descriptive (explanatory/predictive) and normative (ethical/political) elements of his theory, the consequences this has, and what's good/bad in this from my perspective.
Disclaimer: I am still in the process of really getting to grips with Marx and the tradition built around him. I am by no means ignorant, but I do not devote myself to the study of it as if it were rabbinical law or hermetic lore. As such, I will only attend to certain responses.

Keep in mind Shareblue is a Soross funded org. run by Brock.
In January 2017 after Hillary Clinton was shellacked in the November 2016 election top Democrat operatives at Media Matters, Share Blue, American Bridge, and CREW came together and released their two-year plan to take back power in Washington DC. thegatewaypundit.com/2018/08/top-de…
