Paniwalang paniwala kayo sa Pax Silica eh yung central driver niyan ang tanging 2 bansa (US & Israel) na bumoto ng NO on making food and clean water as fundamental human rights.

[Ralfh (SpicyBoi) @rmspicyboi]

Bakit ito walang free food at bakit hindi peaceful yung mga pulis dito? This one is fighting for the greater good while that other rally was protecting a corrupt official.

GOD I'VE SEEN WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR OTHERS #NOTOPAXSILICA

[ris & that @meowrachas]

the first glaring red flag about this whole thing is that the U.S. is willing to offshore ai hub operations because they don't want to deal with any more environmental repercussion they bring to their own country. this should be good enough reason. #NoToPaxSilica

If it’s truly safe and beneficial, why not build more of them in their own backyard first?

[aly! ଘ(*. .)੭ @theblessedbhie]

may all journalists risking their lives to witness this utter clownery be protected from all harm. may the truth prevail.

we do not deserve this government at all.

Ito yung nakakagalit. Sino bang may-ari ng gas station na yan?

[🌙 @itgirlnadine]

inang yan kailangan pa may viral bago pagtuunan ng pansin

[kaelklaver @kael_txt]

learning that the reason is because the driver was hospitalized and unable to claim it because they do not allow authorized relatives. this process is fucked up and the government should be ashamed of themselves.

The actual research is wild. Every time you push down a feeling, your brain has to choose between suppressing that emotion and recording what’s happening around you. It picks the suppression. The memory doesn’t get saved.

A 2000 Stanford study confirmed this: people told to hide their emotions while watching a film remembered far fewer details than people who just reacted naturally. Suppressing emotions uses up mental energy, and that leaves less brain power for saving new memories.

Brain scans show why. A 2012 study found that suppression quiets the hippocampus (your brain’s memory-recording center) right when it should be saving information. The two brain regions that normally team up to lock in memories stop talking to each other.

Over time it gets worse. Suppression keeps cortisol (the stress hormone) elevated, and cortisol shrinks the hippocampus. Chronically stressed people can lose 10 to 15% of its volume. Just three weeks of high cortisol can shrink the tiny connection points between brain cells by about 20%. The good news: studies show this shrinkage can partially reverse once stress levels drop. Not necessarily permanent.

A Finnish study of 1,137 older adults tracked over roughly a decade found that habitual emotion suppressors had nearly 5x the risk of developing dementia, even after controlling for genetics, smoking, obesity, and education.

There’s a better way to handle emotions that doesn’t cost you your memory. It’s called cognitive reappraisal: instead of bottling the feeling, you reframe what’s causing it. (“This meeting isn’t a threat, it’s practice.”) A 2003 Stanford/UC Berkeley study found reappraisers had more positive emotion, better relationships, and higher wellbeing. Suppressors got the opposite on every measure. And reappraisal carries zero memory cost.

The difference comes down to timing. Suppression kicks in after the emotion has already fired, so your brain is fighting its own response while simultaneously trying to record the moment. Reappraisal changes how you interpret the situation before the emotion fully activates. Same event, same person, but your hippocampus stays free to do its actual job: recording your life.
