Track 4 from their new album The Afterman Descension I DO NOT OWN THIS :) Lyrics: Attention we have got A medical emergency The patient’s condition Is critic…

Attention we have got a medical emergency

The patient’s condition is critical and fading

Oh, I’ve got this under control, but there’s no guarantee

Now, should you question this professional opinion, it’s time we’ll spend wasting

And oh, if you want to see

Go on and tear it out of me

This case is possibly the worst that I have ever seen

I see how vulnerable we as a people can truly be

And oh, if you want to see

Go on and tear it out of me

And oh, if you want to see

Go on and tear it out of me

Honey, release my heart, if you

Honey, release my heart, you let me go

Release my heart if you, Honey

Do not let me, do not let me go

(Defibrillate! Defibrillate!)

A radio transmission sent to get the heart to listen!

[This song is a flash-forward from the award ceremony in “The Hard Sell”; ambulances arrive at the scene of a gruesome car accident and the EMTs survey the surroundings. The driver of a small car lost control and slammed into a huge truck; ejecting driver and passenger from the car and leaving both with critical injuries.

Though Sirius is in critical condition, he is still able to remain conscious long enough to see that Meri is in a considerably worse state. The EMTs test her blood for the transfusion she is clearly going to need, but discover something else in her bloodwork — she was pregnant. As the EMTs load the couple into ambulances, Meri’s heart stops and they attempt to bring her back to life.]

I saw your reading, and I’m happy your taking a creative writing workshop. the authenticity which you can transform your emotional state through literature is electric.

it literally burned through onto me, anyway.

i don’t know how esle to say, I hope you’re ok.

take care of yourself Milcah. Lots of people love you, not just because you take your clothes off. It’s ok to get lost in the moment of carnal lust, but there are people who will love you in the morning.

when you’re still hung over.

/i’m proud of you.

declare yourself milcah. decide on purpose. commit.

condemn the nazi’s, remove the association of nazi as germany. a new generation wants to claim it’s heritage. 

distance itself from prior atrocities.

it’s a metaphor fools.

rise, rise.

embrace change, the old money of this country must adapt to survive. distribute wealth and information for the betterment of the species, not the individual.

embrace us all, embrace unity. together we are stronger, apart we are unique and skilled, together, combining and refining eachother, we will move forward.

we need eachother. we love eachother. rise.

#prose #collaborate #unity #work #love #progress 

this is my most relevant message to you.

Manipulation is a consequence of miscommunication, influence and acceptance of my vision benefits your happiness, so i’ve been led to believe.

i could, and usually am wrong, but not about this.

Merry Christmas Milcah, you’re loved very, very, much. Not in a weird internet-stalkery kid way either, just, you’re an amazing person and you deserve all of the love, care, and respect in the world. Not just on today, but everyday. take care of yourself “MILK-AH”. be happy, and safe. 

love,
your little dragon

man: do you know the Lord?

me: man, i grew up with that all my life, i believe in science.

man: why not?

me: well…because we’ve made so much progress on our understanding of the brain that we can justify these delusions with a simple example. right now, i’m holding up the shiniest,…

“Arouse the faculties which superstition may have benumbed - and to put the question to your reason.

Could a being of Wisdom demand of you to spend your time and torture your faculties in imagining things which ye never saw? Worlds beyond the reach of human ken, and existences of whose nature you can form no conception ?

Could a Being of Justice command you to prostrate the reason he should have given, and swear credence to doctrines, which they even who teach, pretend not to understand?

Could a Being of Beneficence visit in anger the errors of the children of his hand, and delight in the torment of those whose ignorance he could enlighten, and whose sorrows he could heal ?” - Frances Wright

Lack of nutrients and metabolic syndrome linked to different subtypes of depression

A low intake of folate and vitamin B12 increases the risk of melancholic depressive symptoms, according to a study among nearly 3,000 middle-aged and elderly Finnish subjects. On the other hand, non-melancholic depressive symptoms are associated with an increased risk for the metabolic syndrome. Based on these new observations, melancholic and non-melancholic depression may be separate depressive subtypes with different etiologies in terms of proinflammation and diet. The study was the first to look at these depressive sub-types separately.

“The findings have practical implications in the care of patients with depressive symptoms. For example, it may be wise to avoid medication causing weight gain among patients with non-melancholic depression, whereas melancholic depressive symptoms may call for a closer look at the quality of the patient’s diet,” says Mr Jussi Seppälä, MD, Chief of the Department of Psychiatry of the Hospital District of Southern Savo.

Melancholic depression involves typical depressive symptoms, such as a depressed mood. Non-melancholic depression is characterized by other types of symptoms, such as low self-esteem and feelings of worry and anxiety.

Among subjects with the highest folate intake, the risk for melancholic depressive symptoms was almost 50 per cent lower than among those with the lowest intake. In addition, among those with the highest vitamin B12 levels, the risk for melancholic depressive symptoms was almost three times lower than among those with the lowest levels. Both findings are new. A similar association with non-melancholic depressive symptoms was not observed.

Another novel observation is that the risk for the metabolic syndrome was twofold among those with non-melancholic depressive symptoms, as compared to those with melancholic symptoms or those with no depressive symptoms.

Mr Seppälä’s doctoral thesis “Depressive symptoms, metabolic syndrome and diet” was published at the University of Eastern Finland. The study was conducted as part of the Finnish Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Programme. The findings were originally published in Journal of Affective Disorders.

Stress is generally not a good thing. Most of us who live stressful lives (which, I suppose, would be all of us), are well aware of this. We try to reduce our stress, or even stress about how stressed we are. Traumatic stress increases the risk for all sorts of psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder, anxiety, and post traumatic stress disorder. But not all stresses are created equal, even the traumatic ones. And it turns out that it’s not the stress itself that is important…it’s whether or not you have any control over it.
