I think the real question is why should a girl shave, preen and diet herself into oblivion for a guy in sweatpants and a t shirt who hasn’t trimmed his pubes in 3 years

“ Self-care includes holding each other accountable because we are interconnected. Loving ourselves includes learning how not to harm each other. Loving ourselves includes disrupting violent patterns in our homes and community-building spaces. ”

Alexis Pauline Gumbs, quoted by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha in a transformative justice workshop at Hampshire earlier this year.

neurolove: [Image Source] This all leads us into talking about the observed action potential.  If you put in some electrodes to measure voltage across the membrane, this is what you would see.  In phase 1, “leak” channels are open and the Na-K pump is maintaining the negative potential. Phase 2 is when the ligand-gated Na+ channels have opened causing the voltage-gated Na+ channels to open and sodium to rush into the cell.  The ball closes the pore and phase 3 is then caused by the slow to open voltage-gated K+ channels opening and K+ leaving the neuron. Phase 4 is caused by the slow K+ VG channels being slow to close.  Too much K+ has left!  Resting state (labeled phase 1 here) is restored when those channels have closed and the Na-K pump sets to work!
