So I know a lot of people have already answered this, but I supposed that I would put my two cents in, too. To me, being bi means that you are attracted to men and women and non-binary people because of physical appearances, genetalia preferences, etc. (sorry, there’s no great way to word that second one). To be pan means that you are attracted to people because of their personalities, and gender and genitalia don’t matter.

Hello💕 Can you please explain the difference between bi and pan bc I'm trying to figure out where I fit into this and I'm not sure which one I am thank you🖤

Hi! So I’m not sure I’m the best person to ask about this as I’m a little unclear about the difference as well. I believe that the difference is that bisexuals are attracted to men and women whereas pansexuals can be attracted to anyone. This includes nonbinary people, gender fluid people, and I guess everything in between. As well, you can label yourself as anything that feels right to you or you can choose to not label yourself! Sexuality is fluid and you can always change your mind. This is what I know but if I’m wrong then feel free to correct me.

(okay so this definition was wrong but I feel like I shouldn’t erase my mistake but instead acknowledge that I was wrong… Anyway, I put a better definition up and so have other people)

Black Hole Update

Hello! I’ve seen a lot of people talking about Katie Bouman and her work on the black hole picture, and sharing around photos of her excitement when they got the photo, and I’m glad that she’s getting recognition. However, while Bouman herself has emphasized that the project was a team effort, a lot of people seem to be overlooking or erasing the very notable contributions of some of the other scientists who worked on it, and that doesn’t sit great with me, so I’m here to draw attention to a couple of them as well.

This is Andrew Chael. He worked with Bouman on the algorithm to construct the image of the black hole and did most of the raw coding for it.

Speaking of that algorithm this is Mareki Honma, who is the man I’m given to understand was its original inventor. Here he is announcing the photo at a press conference in Tokyo.

And here is a link to Harvard’s page on all the contributing members of the Black Hole Initiative, including Bouman and these two!

More dungeons and dragons facts please?

It was originally played with only four sided dice, but grew to include other dice as numbers larger than 4 were invented.

The first edition included not only Fighters, Clerics and other currently used classes, but a few anachronistic ones such as helicopter pilots, media moguls, and electrical engineers.

D&D has inspired “LARPing,” an activity in which people dress according to their characters and fight across parks and cities to involve themselves in the game. This is how the sports of hunting and fencing began.

Several books, films and TV shows have been made based on the game, including Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and oddly enough, Oliver Stone’s JFK, which is not based on the assassination of president Kennedy, but on the RPG “Military Industrial GURPlex.”

Water buffalo have been known to play Dungeons and Dragons when they think humans are not watching. They are not said to be very good at it, but they have fun and that’s the important part.

baby it’s cold outside

Warnings for implied ptsd, referenced cannibalism, the associated issues of symbiosis and possession and bad brains.

Eddie can’t get warm. 

Anne asked, after, in the hospital, if it was quieter in his head now without Venom. 

“My head’s always been loud,” he’d rasped, “He was just louder than everything else.” 

She’d looked at him with that assessing lawyer’s gaze she got sometimes and said, very carefully, “It’s ok to miss him, you know.”
