As a kid, I spent quite a while staring at my family's tattered paperback cover for Lloyd Alexander's The High King, the fifth and final book in the high fantasy kid's book series 'Chronicles of Prydain.'

It's a visceral scene that pulls the viewer in like any cover should. Check out the fear in those bugging eyes. The ligaments of the knee. The ligaments on that Couldron-born zombie's neck. A lot of ligaments in this one! This image may have been my childhood introduction to the concept of ligaments.

The artist is the Belgian illustrator Jean-Léon Huens (1921-1984).

Shocking Fizzy Jets

Many industrial processes break a fluid jet into droplets, like spray painting and ink-jet printing. Here, researchers examine an effervescent fluid jet made up of both liquid and gas.  (Video and image credit: S. Rao et al.)

Lots of new folks have found this blog since my post criticising the term Weird Girl Lit kind of blew up, so I just want to say: hello!! 🖤

I do have more Ligaments articles in the works, and I'll be posting about them when they're ready. Currently though, my priorities are:

1) putting the finishing touches on my essay for the upcoming Blood & Brocade IWTV fanzine - I'm writing about the figure of the vampire as a fashion icon (with a bit of Marxism thrown in). Proceeds from the zine are going to the PCRF!

2) fighting a miserable chest infection. I've had to pause my immunosuppressants and start on antibiotics, the trade-off being that without my immunosuppressants my RA is flaring up to the max 🫠

Anyway, thank you for all the kind words! (And an extra big thank you to those of you who came and followed me on Substack.) It's nice to know I'm not alone in being rankled by the WGL trend.

The human foot is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that work together to support and balance the body. With 26 bones, 32 muscles, and 109 ligaments, our feet perform tirelessly every day—whether standing, walking, or running 👣.

They have arches that provide support, while toes help with balance and propulsion 🦶.

Foot growth is rapid in childhood and slows as we age, but incorrect posture or footwear can still disrupt foot structure at any stage 🚶‍♀️.

Learn how to keep your feet healthy for optimal movement.

A great proponent of my training is working with Isometrics mainly of the Overcoming & Hybrid variety (Hybrid is a combo of Overcoming & Yielding Isometrics). It continues to give me results that not only shaped my physique but keeps me in shape with the dynamic movements I do. Learn about Hybrids & Overcoming Isometrics from @red.delta.project book Overcoming Isometrics available below for either paperback or kindle. It's one of the most unique aspects on the subject of Isometric Training out there today.
