Okay, hot take? Bisexual and pansexual are functionally synonyms, and the decision to ID as one or the other comes down to personal preference and interpretation, and any attempt to further separate the two is driving a wedge between two communities that should have nothing but love and solidarity for one another. 

We have more in common than not, and the words for our respective identities should not be pitted against each other. 

Yeah with overlapping identities like this I just go for whichever one I like the pride flag the most.

That’s so valid. 

There is a distinction between pansexual and bisexual but it is a very fine line, so fine that people who fit the definition for pansexual better may ID as bisexual instead for a variety of personal reasons and vice versa. But there is a distinction and acting like they are perfect synonyms can be quite invalidating.

Bisexual - attraction to multiple genders where gender is a factor within the attraction, and can include a preference for one gender over another, or attraction that feels different when it’s directed at a specific gender.

Pansexual- attraction to people regardless of gender. Gender is not a factor, you’d expect a blanket sensation of attraction regardless of which gender it is attracted to, and no sense of intuitive gender preference (though perhaps a logical one).

Notice that neither of these definitions actually exclude transgender or non-binary people and arguing otherwise is biphobic and transphobic. But there is still a distinction - practically, the issues they face and the relationships they will end up in are the same, but emotionally and subjectively they feel different.

Me reading the first post: I totally agree 100% quit telling me that calling myself bisexual means I’m transphobic

Me reading post four: OH I never heard that distinction before. Being attracted to masculine ppl DOES feel different to me than being attracted to feminine ppl. It never occurred to me that pansexual people experienced attraction different from me in that way. Today I have learned something.

Okay, so this is a better explanation than I have seen before, and I’m really glad it crossed my dash. *throws love and support @ my bi and pan friends across the globe bc they’re all valid*

facts!

Love the American healthcare system where I’m getting a colonoscopy, a totally routine procedure, and have no idea how much it will cost me until I get the bill because 1) I don’t know what medications or supplies will be administered during the procedure until they shoot me up and 2) I don’t know what the cost of those medications and supplies will be because the hospital’s prices and the insurance’s plan allowance are both secret

FUN FACT

AS OF THE NEW YEAR THIS SPECIFIC PRACTICE IS NOW ILLEGAL

CERTAIN SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS FROM OUT OF NETWORK PROVIDERS ARE ILLEGAL AS OF LIKE LITERALLY LAST WEEK. LIKE THE THING YOU LITERALLY JUST DESCRIBED. ILLEGAL.

Regarding surgery, the anaesthesiologist specifically can no longer send you a separate bill if they’re out of network if your surgeon is in network!! You only pay your in network bills!!

It’s awesome and this is the biggest news in healthcare since Obamacare!!

Here's what the new ban on surprise medical billing means for you

The No Surprises Act says patients can't get hit with pricey, unexpected medical bills. Some experts say the regulation could also slow the

There’s a new Situation and because of this Situation I can’t even tag anyone to spread the word. I was recently informed that as of about 18 hrs ago at this point (Jan 1st, 1pm EST) NO NEW POSTS are showing up in ANY tag search on ANY browser/app. I’ve checked this to confirm.

Myself and many others have noticed that posts have been taking a very long time to show up in tags these past fews days (my last post took about 5 hrs). Yesterday around 2pm EST staff reported they were aware of the issue and were working on a fix. This new development appears to have started around 7pm EST, which leads me to believe it’s a result of the “fix” that’s currently in progress. Unfortunately this has made the already bad situation impossibly worse in the meantime.

I have no idea how long this will be an issue but you may want to hold off on posting any new content until it’s sorted out.

bitchfitch:

with the tags and search officially being completely broken on all platforms (no new posts are showing up in them anymore), now feels like a good time to remind everyone that the only way to help creators is to reblog their stuff. even before the tags were busted most people found new creators through their content being rebloged onto their dash, and now, at least for the time being, that will be the Only way to find and spread things.

Fast reblog is a thing, you dont have to leave comments, you dont have to leave tags, just reblog stuff if you want to keep seeing new content being posted to this site.

and as a final note, with this change likes are officially completely pointless for content creators. up till now they served to boost a posts placement in the tag searches (a post tagged #girl with 40 likes would show up higher in the search than a post tagged #girl with only 10 likes,)

A magical girl series where the girls transform into their DnD characters. 

Imagine being a typical shojo super villain and seeing an anime girl transform into a fucking Orc.

Not even a cute anime Orc, just a realistically drawn Warcraft Orc named Mo’Gar Skullcrush or something. 

None of the girls in the group transform into cute Elves. It’s just Lady Stormbeard the Dwarf ranger. Skeletal Lich Bellinde Bloodless. GrhhuHghh the Goblin cleric. Every villain they meet is fucking terrified.

Villain lieing down defeated “you cant finish me off, thats the weakness of you “good” guys”

Magical girl: “you are right….” transforms into a 6 foot tall beefcake orc “…But Mo’gar is chaotic neutral”
