Quote of the day

[baffledtreesquid]

I’m seeing a lot of people saying this post changed their brain chemistry, and as a neuroscientist I wanted to say yes!!! Yes it does!

Wanting something requires dopamine signaling, but liking something doesn’t.

If you have a mental illness/disorder that affects dopamine, you might feel that you don’t want to do the things that you like. You do still like them. You will appreciate having done them.

Let your likes guide you.

(If you want to read more, here’s one experimental paper about it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207/ This theory called the incentive-sensitization theory was originally created to explain behaviors in addiction but can be applied elsewhere as well)

Rewards are both ‘liked’ and ‘wanted’, and those two words seem almost interchangeable. However, the brain circuitry that mediates the psych

I made a thing

So I made a queer, autistic novella series about dragons who pull ships through space, and because I cannot make a normal book for the life of me, the dragon is the protagonist and has to find a way to mediate with their human-and-bot crew now that their human partner has abandoned them. It's cosy, slice-of-life space fantasy and I doubt anyone will see this but I figured I'd post it anyway, because it's crowdfunding on Kickstarter right now.

It funded in less than an hour, got made a Project We Love, and we're working on unlocking some audiobooks now. Anyway! It would be cool if anyone sees this. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/veocorva/space-dragons

I have been on this website for over a decade (I'm not sure how much more, it all blurs together) and the 11 reblogs on this post earned me this notif for the first time. It gives me the warm fuzzies and also makes me snort with laughter. Thanks. 💙

So it's 538% funded and only about £83 from unlocking an audiobook for all backers in addition to their other rewards. I'd really love to do it. I used to be a professional audiobook narrator and haven't had the chance to do any of my own books yet.

Here's the main cast, as illustrated by the fantastic @renardroi.
