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.

We should all be in fear of anyone strong enough to balance and literally support their entire mass in that pose on tiptoes.

She ain’t even wearing a decent heel support like the lady behind her. No, this queen is wearing goddamn stilettos. You know how hard it is to walk in stilettos, let alone balance your weight on one foot? And she’s doing more than that, she’s literally resting all her weight on that foot. This is insane, she could kick all of our asses.

Since this fucking guy:

Has been front and center in every news article I’ve been reading, let me just reiterate something.

Norse Paganism has no room for fascists, nazis, Trumpers, alt-righters, Proud Boys, or whatever else they call themselves.

They are the lowest of the low, and Niddhogr will gnaw on their bones for all eternity.

We don't claim this vile piece of shit. He is NOT Heathenry. Hate and bigotry has absolutely no place in our spaces and it's disgusting.

[hrafna-morningstar-deactivated2]

I can't fucking get away from this guy. Everything that needs to be said has already been said. He does NOT represent Heathenry and we will never accept him.
