Currently writing my fellowship grant for my MS research with The Fellowship of the Ring playing in the background. If I’m going to question my worth, at least I’m doing it with a more competent fellowship for moral support.

I've been quiet lately, but I recently shared some news online with my Ko-fi supporters, who’ve stuck by me even when I’ve been flaky. If you want early updates and have the means to support me, I’d love to have you there. ko-fi.com/raava

Omg I spat my coffee

Omg that made me giggle

Yup they used CRISPR-CAS9. DNA preserves better than most genetic material but definitely not for ten thousand years. And unfortunately the media loves to create "hype" stories that are often not scientifically accurate. My research group was once featured on a paper that said we cured cancer...

C'est trop bien !! C'est la meilleure série au monde serieux. Mais il faut te taper la continuité

Raava, PhD @raava.tv · 31/03/2025

Just finished Fool’s Assassin & wow… I’m emotionally wrecked. Realm of the Elderlings is hands down one of the most incredible series I’ve ever read, I’m still in awe of Hobb’s storytelling. But this book was rough. The violence and darker themes really got to me. I'm scared for the last 2 books.

Just finished Fool’s Assassin (the first book in the final Fitz and the Fool trilogy), and wow… I’m emotionally wrecked. Realm of the Elderlings is hands down one of the most incredible series I’ve ever read, and I’m still in awe of Hobb’s storytelling. But this book? It was rough. The violence and darker themes really got to me—brutal, draining, and honestly, I’m a little scared to dive into the last two books. Wish me luck!

I get you! Words are hard too 🫰

Personally I wouldn't say faulty. I'd say something along the line of trying your best in a world and time that doesn't allow... Being human. If you don't mind me saying. I jusy don't think you're faulty in any ways. Life is hard

000

Congratulations on your major changes. Have you ever noticed how little time we spend recognising our achievements and being proud of ourselves for doing this and yet we spend so much time beating ourselves up for the tiniest mistakes? I think your decision to make these changes is incredible 🫰

000

Than you 🥺❤️

If you had told me 5 years ago that I’d have the courage to fight for my mental and physical well-being—going to the gym, walking daily, fasting 16–48 hours & controlling emotional eating—I wouldn’t have believed you. I’m so grateful to my 2020 self for choosing self-love so I can feel proud today.

Some old dude came towards me, made a sexist joke& almost put his hands on me while I was mid-rep lifting at the gym. It's so creepy & made me feel so unsafe, it ruined my workout. News flash: women work out too. If that bothers you, maybe try lifting the weight of your outdated mindset for once.

Since healing from the last back herniation, I joined a rehabilitation gym to strengthen my back as much as possible. Today, I finally progressed to a more advanced spinal machine, which is amazing! I feel stronger every day. I actually really enjoy lifting weights 💪💪

a screenshot of my rehab gym application showing a full body muscle groups with the muscles I worked out in blue (mainly upper legs, core, back, arms and shoulders). it also shows the date and time of the work out (11th Feb at 8) and how long was the work out (32 min) and how much weight I carried with different muscle groups (1700lbs)

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."
