Dry up
The river shall not
Stop running
So long as we are clouds
And our hopes are drops of rain.

March sign up

lilly_c: Mirror!Kathryn and Mirror!Chakotay being affectionate in Cracked Mirror (Default)
It's time to sign up for the January WIP challenge! Some people join the challenge mid month, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways. For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.

Sign-ups will be open until the end of March.


    Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
    Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
    What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
    What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
    How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
    Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you


Copypaste below:



The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.

If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.

Hasslers

2026-02-24 17:56[personal profile] abject_reptile
abject_reptile: (Fuck It)
Somehow, I knew this.

Negative social ties as emerging risk factors for accelerated aging, inflammation, and multimorbidity.

"Social relationships are fundamental to human health, yet research has focused primarily on their supportive dimensions. We investigate the role of “hasslers,” people in one’s close social networks who create problems or make life more difficult, finding that these negative ties are not rare, disproportionately experienced by individuals facing greater social and health vulnerabilities, and consequential for aging. Each additional hassler is associated with faster biological aging, with especially pronounced effects when the hassler is a family member. These findings identify negative social ties as chronic stressors that shape aging trajectories and underscore the need for interventions that reduce harmful social exposures to promote healthier aging."

So even though social contact is said to be necessary for health and well-being, a lot of the time we'd be better off without it. I can attest.
