RE 356: Play the Tape Forward

At festivals, the group shared the stage with acts like Casper, Distance in Embrace, and Rantanplan. The band was a support act for groups like Bakkushan, Callejon, Ohrbooten, We Butter the Bread with Butter, and Neaera. The band’s debut EP, Eskimo Callboy, was self-released in 2010 and was distributed via EMP. She has been reinventing her recovery since having children. A young people’s AA group in So CA allowed her to meet some great young people, and they partied without the alcohol. Her life became different when she let others help her and did what they said.

What are the stages of family recovery?

We identified a conserved “pause and play” mechanism of cell cycle during environmental stress and recovery. On 31 October, the band announced the 2025–2026 Tanzneid World Tour and released the song “Tanzneid” with a music video featuring Zummo on drums for the first time. On 29 April, Friedrich announced his departure from Electric Callboy after 13 years with the band, stating his intention to pursue a new direction in life. In March 2022, they announced that they had changed their name from Eskimo Callboy to Electric Callboy after learning that “Eskimo” can be seen as an outdated term and slur for the Inuit and Yupik people.
These results suggest that a significant portion of the miR-71 activities in L1 diapause survival may be devoted to regulating the activities of UNC-31–mediated InsR/PI3K signaling and that the rest of miR-71 activity may regulate UNC-31–independent pathways. We next examined the relationship between miR-71 and UNC-31, which functions upstream of AGE-1 during L1 diapause by regulating calcium-regulated dense-core vesicle fusion and the release of an insulin-like ligand (3). Because the InsR pathway was previously shown to play a prominent role in L1 diapause (2, 3), we examined genetic interactions between miR-71 and different components of the InsR pathway. We identified 10 miRNA mutants that showed reduced survival rates with a stringent standard, as well as a few miRNA mutants with slightly increased survival rates (Table S1, Fig. 1D, and Fig. S1B). 1A because the ain-1 mutations reduce, but do not eliminate, miRISC functions.
It took some time, but I had reached that point, again, amidst a tragic loss. The 8 months of “field research” that I engaged in after 1.5 years of sobriety in led me to the familiar line, “how did I get here (again)”. We get the opportunity to choose an alcohol-free life every time.
However, we found that the reporter transgene with the lin-42 3′UTR was significantly repressed in wild-type worms, but derepressed in the mir-71(lf) worms (Fig. 4 H and I). In starved L1 worms, we detected only a slight increase in the mRNA level of hbl-1 in mir-71 mutants compared with that in wild type (∼10%), which may not be biologically significant. These results indicate that miR-71 plays a significant role in larval development of animals recovering from L1 diapause and likely does so by regulating the expression of components of the insulin receptor/DAF-16 pathway, as well as factors acting downstream, or in parallel to, DAF-16. If this were true, the starved mir-71(lf); daf-16(lf) double-mutant worms should show a slow growth phenotype similar to that of daf-16(lf) worms, but no specific VPC timing defect.
Elegans Genetic Center for many mutants of miRNA and other genes. Images were pseudocolored in Photoshop CS3 (Adobe) and assembled in Illustrator CS3 (Adobe). The data for 3′UTR expression and for VPC timing were analyzed using χ2 test. To determine viability, 20-μL aliquots (60–100 worms) were placed every 3 d onto two 6-cm nematode growth medium (NGM) plates seeded with OP50, and the numbers of L1 worms were recorded as number of plated worms (Np). A total of 16–24 h later, the density of newly hatched L1 worms was adjusted to three to five worms per microliter S-basal. The eggs were transferred to plates seeded with HB101 and bleached again 3 d later.

Whereas the vulva of wild-type worms developed into the pyramidal stage (81 of 82 worms), the P6.p of mir-71(n4115, lf) mutant worms divided only once (83 of 89 worms). The computation-based prediction that age-1 and pdk-1 are potential targets of miR-71 was also reported in a recent study focusing on miRNA functions in aging where the mRNA level of pdk-1 was shown to be up-regulated in mir-71 worms (14). We found that the 3′UTRs of several genes of the InsR pathway, including unc-31, age-1, pdk-1, akt-2, and sgk-1, contain predicted miR-71 targeting sites (as predicted by TargetScan and mirWIP). (C) Fluorescence and differential interference contrast (DIC) images showing that the age-1 3′UTR reporter was repressed in mir-71(+) worms (3/4 transgenic lines) but not in mir-71(lf) worms (4/4 transgenic lines).

What are the common family roles in addiction recovery?

  • In fact I still have a ton to say, about play anxiety and devaluation of play, which I’ll have to put into separate posts over the next few days.
  • Our genetic analysis indicated that for both L1 diapause survival and developmental recovery functions, miR-71 regulates expressions of genes in both the insulin receptor-dependent and -independent pathways.
  • Games without play are contests or performances, or both – but not true games.
  • Furthermore, the observed derepression of individual genes by mir-71(lf) seemed too weak to account for the phenotype, consistent with the idea that a prominent phenotype of an miRNA mutation is caused by the collective effect of changing expression in many genes, an important property of miRNA-mediated gene regulation.

It helps maintain a balance where the family supports the recovering addict without enabling their addiction. Individual GFP reporter constructs for candidate genes (4 ng/μL) and the mCherry internal control plasmid (4 ng/μL) were mixed with unc-119 rescuing plasmid (20 ng/μL) and pBluescript KS+ (72 ng/μL) and coinjected into unc-119(ed3) and mir-71(n4115); unc-119(ed3) worms following standard protocols (32). To compare the survival rates between strains, we simulated the survival rate of each genotype to 100 arbitrary “individual worms” and performed the log-rank test in Graphpad Prism 4.

Games without play are contests or performances, or both – but not true games. Conversely, having abundant experience of respect and gratitude for fellow players can help us develop habits of moderation, perspective, self-control, and empathy when it comes to non-game frustrations. Rather, we should be – you guessed it – intelligently curating and sharing the more pro-social alternatives, and giving people context and vocabulary for their engagement with culture. Not by running “don’t play Monopoly” campaigns, any more than we run “don’t read mass-produced paint-by-numbers genre pulp that robotically replicates toxic social norms” or “don’t watch reality exploitation TV” campaigns. Our revery play job is to intelligently curate and share the worlds of culture and information in service to our communities, helping people find context and vocabulary for their engagement with the wider world. And as we’ve discussed above, simply offering the kind of safe, supported opportunities to play that we’d want to offer anyway is enough to create that space for healing.

It is also worth mentioning that multiple components of the InsR pathway, including age-1, pdk-1, akt-2, and daf-16, are predicted to be targets of the let-7 family miRNAs. On one hand, we showed that deletions of a good number of miRNAs have varying impacts on the L1 diapause survival rate, although they may effect the rate through different mechanisms. Instead, many specific physiological functions, such as the starvation-induced stress response, are regulated by a miRNA-target network, often involving multiple miRNAs and a large number of their targets. This is consistent with hbl-1 being one of the downstream targets of miR-71, although this modest effect alone is not expected to account for the vulval developmental phenotype in mir-71 mutant. Moreover, the expression of hbl-1 is repressed by let-7 family miRNAs at L3 during normal development, and the hyperactivity of hbl-1 caused by failure of miRNA regulation leads to retarded development (26).

The transcript level of unc-31 was increased in mir-71(lf) worms, compared with that of wild-type controls that were normalized to the value of 1. MiR-71 represses the expression of age-1 and unc-31 through the actions on their 3′UTR, but miR-71 is not required for arresting M cell division during L1 diapause. We found that the poor survival rate of daf-16(mu86)(lf) was further decreased by mir-71(lf) (Fig. 2C), consistent with the notion that a portion of miR-71 activities regulate genes that act in parallel to UNC-31–mediated InsR/PI3K signaling for long-term survival during L1 diapause. (B) The severely reduced survival rate of the mir-71(lf) mutant was suppressed by a null allele of unc-31(e928).

And yet, thanks to network effects, the notocratic advantage of a massive marketing warchest, and other issues discussed in that Monopoly post, Monopoly has a stranglehold on the form. Sore losers who turn genuinely vicious if defeated, or even if defeat seems imminent, and punish other players for playing well – or just bad luck on the dice. He’s far from the only one who has a negative reaction to play as a result of traumatic associations. I particularly appreciate the courage it took to share his story.
