I was wondering, why did you decide to name your comic Kochab...er, Kochab? Does it have any specific meaning?

Yeah! It's named after a star that used to help determine true north, in celestial navigation. After a few thousand years, earth's axis of rotation has shifted slightly, and now Polaris has replaced it as the cynosure that the rest of the northern hemisphere's night sky appears to revolve around. :)

A big theme of the story is about being lost & homesickness & trying to find your way / choosing to let go & move on from old things you used to orient your life around / allowing yourself to change. ✨💫

truly so demoralizing and frustrating and disillusioning to be in a class where the professor clearly has no interest in being empathetic and understanding that a bunch of young adults in a 101 introductory course may not be as well versed in the same subject that they have a doctorate degree in and may need additional explanation sometimes!!!

You may know that black holes are what happens to stars after they go supernova, but only some stars do. Black holes are the result of extremely massive stars exploding at the end of their life cycles. But why is that? Why does this only happen to big stars? To answer that, we'll have to take a look at how stars form in the first place.

Stars begin their lives as clouds of hydrogen gas. Those floating hydrogen atoms exert gravity on each other, and as they come together, their cloud gets denser and denser. The hydrogen atoms orbit around each other and so the cloud itself begins to spin. Eventually this hydrogen gets dense enough that it forms a core, and the atoms get in real tight with one another and they compress. When you compress a material, it actually heats up, and when this ball of hydrogen gets dense and hot enough the atoms begin to fuse with one another and a baby star is formed! This is called a protostar. It continues to contract and become brighter and hotter. Eventually it stabilizes into a "main sequence" star. This is the kind of star the sun is.

When atoms fuse together, the byproduct is a new atom. Since hydrogen has one proton and one electron, this new atom has two protons and two electrons: helium. Helium is heavier than hydrogen, so as the fusion process continues this helium falls to the center of the star, due to gravity, and forms a core. So you have a non-fusing helium core with a shell of hydrogen fusing around it. This core gets bigger and bigger, eating up more of the hydrogen, and pushing the remaining hydrogen outward. So the star expands, and it enters its next phase of life: a red giant.

This whole time gravity is compacting that helium core denser and denser, just like it did with hydrogen in the beginning. At this point, either the star will burn out as it consumes the last of its hydrogen or, if it's big enough, the helium core will get dense and hot enough to fuse on its own! This is called a "helium flash" and at this point the star will stabilize again into a stage of its life similar to its main sequence stage, but this time burning helium.

This process repeats itself. As the helium burns, it fuses into carbon, which falls to the core of the star and starts to become dense itself. Depending on the size of the star, this could repeat a few times. Supergiant stars can even do this enough that they fuse their atoms into silicon or even iron.

At this point, the elements in the core are too heavy to fuse in this way. When they compress enough to fuse again, the result is explosive, and we get our supernova event. The outer shell of the star blows clean off, and when this happens it spews the new elements its created out into the cosmos. You know how people say we're made of "star stuff" or "stardust"? They're right, and this is how it happens. This is where all the heavier elements are made.

But for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When the outer shell gets blown off, an equal and opposite force pushes the remaining core inward, making it even more dense! If it's a small star, and didn't have a lot of mass (comparatively), this super dense core remains, smoldering with what remains of the heat from the explosion. We call this a white dwarf. Stars with more mass explode with enough force to compress their cores far enough that they show strange quantum-mechanical properties, and we call these neutron stars. Neutron stars are really interesting and deserve their own post.

But if the star was massive enough, this blowback compresses the core to the point where its volume effectively becomes 0. Now, if you remember that Density = Mass / Volume, and you know that you cannot divide by zero, you can see that there is a bit of a problem. This explosion collapses the core so hard that it breaks spacetime. This "divide by zero error" is what we call a singularity, and becomes the center of a black hole. See, the mass of the black hole doesn't change, but its density becomes infinite. We'll talk about what that means in the next post.

now that im no longer in college im finding the best way to like reconnect with my love for astronomy and also come to a deeper understanding of it on like a human personal level is to like actually go out and observe the sky and like reinvent the way ancient peoples did astronomy via like. timekeeping with the constellations, finding the ecliptic and equator in the sky, etc. basically just trying to build like an actual bodily intuition around the night sky that no one really has anymore, and that I Certainly Didn’t since my own knowledge was like math paper and computer based. Now my next challenge is to try to find my latitude based on the position of the sun

[aziraphales-library]

Hi all! Thank you very much for all of your hard work. I've glad for this account since there is always something fun to read popping up. Can the Mods recommend any fics where either Aziraphale or Crowley use dating apps for any reason?

Hello. You'll find fics like this, including some of the fics listed here, on our #social media tag, but here are some dating app specific fics...

Bloggers, Baby! by Estrella3791 (T)

Crowley's a blogger, and he may or may not be developing a crush on his commenters. But he's not really - Oh, what's this? Angel1941 is on Tinder??

Oh, Lord, Heal This Love by WaitingToBeBroken (T)

"Looking for someone to take to couples therapy and see how long it takes the therapist to notice we don't know each other," is what Crowley's dating profile says. Too bad Aziraphale was too busy staring at those graceful fingers in his picture to realise that, before he agreed to go on a date with him.

abide by me by cosmya (T)

The year is 2001. Crowley runs a fake marriage website, and Aziraphale has encountered a... problem that requires his services. Naturally, they have No Idea that it's each other at first, but when Aziraphale proves a difficult client, Crowley takes matters into his own hands.

Dim the Lights and Sing You Songs by Polaris (E)

A few months prior to leaving the Dowling household, Crowley had downloaded Grindr for the sole purpose of catfishing randy morons. He was not expecting a paragraph that began with: ‘hello. I hope you don’t think this is too forward, but I couldn’t help but notice you have the most lovely nipples.’ Crowley keeps trying to meet his Grindr fuckbuddy. Aziraphale keeps showing up at all his meeting spots. This is terrible.

MatchMade! by amaruuk (E)

Crowley tests a new dating app for an online publication. When his match dumps him for another man's match, he and his fellow dumpee take a chance on each other.

With Potential by Caedmon (E)

Aziraphale is an author of popular and successful romance novels. His books have done very well, so he's surprised when his publisher, Gabriel, comes in and tells him that they expect him to start including explicit sex scenes instead of just the fade-to-black he's been writing. Aziraphale argues a bit, but it's pointless. Gabriel isn't asking, he's telling. And now Aziraphale is in a pickle. He doesn't have a wide swath of sexual experience to pull inspiration from. So his assistant, Anathema, helpfully suggests that he download some dating apps and seek someone to hook up with for casual sex. Aziraphale is appalled by the idea of casual sex at first, and thinks that this plan is going to go absolutely nowhere, but agrees to give it a try. Three guesses what happens next.

The Grindr Logo Doesn't Even Have a 'G' In It by indieninja92 (E)

After the Apocalypse, Aziraphale ventures into a new space in the gay milieu - Grindr. There he starts talking to a charming young man who certainly doesn't bear any resemblance at all to a certain long streak of demon, not one bit, no thank you. Meanwhile, Aziraphale and Crowley navigate their friendship after the world failed to end. There is much drinking and silliness, but could it be that there are other feelings lurking underneath?? Of course there are, this is fanfic.

The Mathematical Improbability of Reaching the Stars by cassieoh, D20Owlbear (M)

Aziraphale, 3rd year doctoral candidate in Library Sciences and current failure at Astronomy 101, finds out about an app for meeting people from some undergraduates. He’s desperate for a tutor so he decides to try it out. Surely someone in the wilds of Tinder is willing to help him learn about the stars? Meanwhile, in said wilds of Tinder, Crowley (high school dropout, star enthusiast, and official garden center plant-harasser) is not really looking for anything past dinner and maybe ‘tea’ back at their place. Hijinks, and also a surprisingly intricate plot, ensue.

After 28 light-years, my research

Must be ended somehow...

Anyways that took me forever to make, I am so not used to drawing this much lol

So here's notes what I've written in my terrible handwriting in all of those lil papers:

1. On the page: Remember cosmological constant!

2. The shitty rectangulars are 'dimensions', while between them is, well 'the in-between'

3. On the mug it's a Hawking formula for calculating entropy

4. And I honestly forgot what's that last one supercomplicated formula is lol

On the third page on the papers on the board:

How to locate a dumbass lost in multiverse 101

2. Dimensions: think less furniture in a room, more fruits in jello in a jar: separate, yet connected. Does that mean there are more multiverses?

My own take on fem!Stan makes its debut! This is Stacy Pines, the proud owner of Mystery Shack. Her Pa was constantly saying, she's got too many manly interests, like fixing cars and beating up the bullies, and is always scolding her for being 'unladylike'. About the only hobby he approves is sewing - after all, if she wanted to be a fashionable young lady, she had to make the clothes herself, because her father will surely not spend money on the new, fashionable items, and he was barely tolerating even having to buy them second-hand.

Instead of going for boxing lessons, she was signed up for dancing lessons - Ma Pines was insisting; her daughter will learn how to dance, or else. It was fine by Stacy though, she liked to dance, and she even roped Stanford to dance with her from time to time.

She still gets kicked out of the house for accidentally breaking Ford's school project, and she still has the Cadillac, though what happened during the 10 years on the streets differs quite significally from what we have seen in the canon, but that I'll leave as a secret for now, since I do plan to expand, either in a fic or comics, whichever comes first.

After getting Ford back from multiverse, Ford realises Stacy is hiding something big from him - and somehow, the kids and Mystery Shack workers know the secret, but none of them are willing to share it for some reason. It's fine by him, if Stacy wants to have secrets, then by all means, it's not like he cares that much, after all (lie). He has better things to do anyway (doesn't stop him from obsessing about what's Stacy hiding though).

And that's it for now!

PS: Yes, she's using Petri dish for cigarette ash.

I. Gemini

"Do you think he realizes he's had Cheez-it crumbs stuck in his mustache this entire time?" you ask, twirling your pencil between your fingers. 

Peter narrowed his eyes at what you were looking at, which happened to be your Professor. To be completely honest, he had stopped listening to the lecture a while ago. 

"I don't think he notices."

"Ridiculous," you groaned, sinking back into your seat. "This class is ridiculous."

Peter stifled laughter. It was fall quarter at the local community college, and he had met the first day in Astronomy 101. He had to take an elective, and this one was the least likely to ruin his Spider-Man duties. You sat down right next to him on the first day and introduced yourself before offering him goldfish. It was a fast friendship. 

"You only have a few more weeks until winter break," Peter reminded you, trying to engage back with the lesson. You were doodling stars. 

"Ah, a few more weeks until hibernation." You grinned at Peter, one full of teeth and mischief. He felt his heart rate pick up, but he stamped it down. He couldn't get close to you, not like that. You resumed sitting normally in your seat. "Do you have plans for the holidays?"

"Uh…no," he tapped his notebook. He had been trying his best to ignore the holidays. They'd be the first ones without Aunt May. "My family isn't really in the picture."

"That's okay," you responded. "Mine aren't either."

Peter respected how understanding you could be. You never pushed him to open up, even if you did push him to engage with the world outside. You never asked why he'd sometimes be covered in cuts and bruises. You just handed him a bandaid and told him about some puppy you saw walking over the class. He wonders if you knew how amazing you could be. 

"What do you want for Christmas, Pete?" you inquired. You pulled a bag of goldfish out of your backpack and offered some to him. He took a few. 

My Aunt. Ned. MJ. Mr. Stark. My life, Peter wanted to say. He bit his tongue, thinking of an answer. 

"Maybe a soldering station."

"Nerd," you teased, but there was no venom behind it. "I want Drew Starkey at my doorstep."

"How's that going for you?"

"Awful," you sighed, and Peter couldn't help but laugh. A few rows looked over to glare at you two. You flipped them all off. Students started getting up at that moment, and class ended. You stretched, your bones cracking in the process. "Let's go get pho; it's freezing outside."

Peter didn't even really like pho, but you liked it, so he'd go. He'd go wherever you asked. 

II. Canis Major

Knock knock. Knock knock. 

Peter groaned, shuffling out of bed. There was someone knocking on his window. He had a good feeling about who that someone was. 

You were sitting on his fire escape, breathing on the glass of his window and drawing obscene images with your finger. He opened the window to your grin. 

"It's four in the morning," Peter groaned, rubbing his eyes. 

"Put on your business clothes; there are shooting stars that can be seen at Battery Park."

"Astronomy class is over; we're on break now."

"And stars are beautiful. Beauty should be appreciated," you said, shoving your hands in your pockets. You were wearing a scarf and mittens, your hair pushed back with your beanie. Peter didn't know how long you'd been out there. "I appreciate you, don't I?"

Sometimes, Peter hated you because you said things like that, which made his ears red and his words stop working. He thinks you continued to say them because of that reaction. 

"I'll get dressed."

"Atta boy."

He put on his warmest clothes and followed you down the fire escape. You had brewed coffee at home and handed him a thermos. You were always prepared; that much was sure. On the subway, it would only take half an hour on the E to get to Battery Park. It was basically empty when you guys got on. You sat in companionable silence as you rode the distance. 

Peter was slightly more awake by the time you got off the subway, the cold air helping with his drowsiness. You were annoyingly perky for the early morning. He followed you up one of the hills to an alcove of trees. You had brought a backpack with you, which you pulled a blanket out of, and some hand warmers. Peter sat down next to you as you stared at the sky with the energy of a kid on Christmas. 

"Aren't you excited?" you whispered.

"I'll be excited when I'm dead."

"I forget how snarky you are when you're tired," you frown. Peter chuckles because he doesn't think you're used to someone being as witty as you are. You grab his arm when the first shooting star appears. He has to admit that it's beautiful and insane. It was a meteor shower in the flesh, and you both sat peacefully and watched the stars crash by. You leaned against Peter, your warmth finding solace in his own. You smelled like fresh coffee and winter mornings. You turned to him, face so close to his own. "Make a wish, Parker."

Peter could've wished for a whole lotta things, but for some reason, he settled on more moments like these. He wondered what you wished for. 

You both stayed until the sun started to rise. 

"Will you come and spend Christmas with me? It's just my Dad, and he has to work the night shift."

Peter said yes because he could never say no to you. 

III. Orion

You and your Dad prepared roast ham with scalloped potatoes and steamed vegetables for Christmas dinner. Peter didn't remember the last time he had a home-cooked meal. 

He liked your Dad, even if he was intimidating. He was the police chief, so he was intimidating, but he also had a fatherly warmth that didn't make him seem scary. Peter thought he probably wouldn't be upset to be arrested by him. 

Your Dad had to run to the station for Christmas shenanigans and left you and Pete with some dessert that he bought at the bakery down the street. Currently, Peter is on dishwashing duty. You were sipping some wine that you found in a cabinet and leaning against the lip of the sink. Peter was soaping up one of the pans. 

"I got you a gift," you say, grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Peter groans.

"I told you not to."

"I'm not a good listener."

"I knew that much," Peter mumbles. You laugh, squeezing his arm as you walk to the living room behind him. You come back a second later with a ribbon-tied package. Peter dries his hands. "You really shouldn't have."

"I like giving gifts," you shrug. "Now open it."

He does. It's a series of pocketbooks about different mathematical theories. He's embarrassed about how excited he is about them. Peter hugs you as a thank you. 

"I got you something as well."

"Now, who's not a good listener?" you said matter of factedly. Peter goes to his bag, grabs a haphazardly wrapped package, and hands it to you with a blush on his cheeks. You take apart the wrapping delicately, even though it's badly done. You let out a squeal of delight as you see what it is. "A cat!"

"A robotic cat. It'll purr if you pet it," Peter explains, showing the inner workings of the cat. He used the college's engineering lab for their 3D printer, soldering station, and electronics supplies. He knew you wanted a pet, but your apartment wouldn't allow it. You cuddled the boxy creature to your chest. 

"It's perfect," you hummed. You put the cat down and kissed Peter on the cheek. His cheek still burned after the fact, and suddenly, he wanted to tell you everything. You had been his only friend since everything happened. You were the most understanding person he knew. And he was so tired of hiding everything. 

“Y/N?”

"Hmm?"

"Can I tell you something?" Peter coughed. He looked down at your hands, which you were holding. He didn't even recognize you grabbed his hands after you kissed his cheek; he was so focused on the latter. You nodded, brows furrowed, telling him to continue on. The words were mush in his throat, but he pushed through anyway. 

"I'm Spider-Man," he stuttered. He expected you to freak out, to demand answers. You just blinked at him. 

"I know."

"You know?"

"I'm perceptive," you shrugged. He was dumbfounded. "You're cute when you're confused." He was even more dumbfounded. You stepped backward, pulling him towards your room. "I have a secret too."

Peter was now in a state of shock since it seemed that you already knew his biggest secret. He had no idea what to expect in your room. A secret drug stash? A collection of Beanie Babies? He had no idea. You opened your closet and rifled through the bottom before pulling out something white and pink. Then you proceeded to thoroughly wreck his mind. 

You thwipped a web, closing the door. 

Peter's jaw dropped.

"I may or may not be Spider-Woman."

You stood in silence. 

"You're WHAT?"

[mesetacadre]

This is kind of a Communist Theory 101 question and kind of a Reality Exists 101 question but… I’m about halfway through Das Kapital volume 2 and (maybe stupidly) I have been reading online discussions about “social constructs” and alienation. The concept of alienation totally makes sense to me and is mostly intuitive. But I’m having a lot of trouble with the claim that social constructs are things that simultaneously are invented by humans and are things that exist? Like, money for instance. I understand that money is largely a thing invented by humans that continues to exist based on general consensus and systems of power that have sprung up around it. This makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is the claim that a social construct can have a material impact on reality. It might be something about my brain, but every time I read anything based in the premise that social constructs also exist in and have a basis in reality, it trips me up. I just… don’t understand.

Something materially existing does not mean you can touch it or that it exerts a physical effect on society. Said another way, materialism is not the philosophy of things and idealism is not the philosophy of ideas. Social constructs, meaning something that exists within the bounds of an "imagination", that it's constructed upon the foundation of society (a construct itself), have a dialectical relation with society, they exist because of and within the bounds of the society but they themselves have an influence on the flow of the society. If we wish to deal with what is materially influenced by and conditions a society, you can't possibly ignore those constructs because they don't "exist". They exist insofar as they influence the society that "created" them. Religion and theology are things that don't exist by themselves, you can't touch religion because it's wholly a product of societies, but ignoring the influence religion has had in the history and development of human society simply because they don't "exist" is idealist, you're disregarding the influence and importance of something that has has that influence and importance based on its "existence" to you.

You can't approach the analysis of society materially by deciding what does or does not make sense initially. You see what has had an influence, what kind of influence and for whose benefit, and on those grounds you decided what importance you can afford that thing. Social constructs have undoubtedly and factually had an endless impact on reality. The family institution is a social construct, and it'd be irrational to disregard its impact based on it being a construct. How can you disregard it? How can money not have had an impact on reality? They might not be physical objects but they nevertheless have an impact because that's what a social construct does, societies build them to organize themselves and act according to those constructs. You can't touch "materialism", or "communism" either, they don't "exist" because humans have invented them. But nevertheless you aim to affect reality with them and you recognize they have had an impact on reality. If you only concerned yourself with what physically exists outside of the rationale or humans you'd be studying geography and astronomy.

Andromeda Academy / THE BIG SCHOOL

Yeah we made a giant school, it took literal ages there was so many people involved in its construction so crediting is going to be a bit awkward. But know everyone designed and built their own classroom, the building team had nothing to do with the design on the classrooms so give love to the "Teachers" of the classes you love the most. Well let's get into this!

First the building team for the main team was well huge...but it was mainly ran by Gaymers! The faction I'm in on the qblrsmp, I'll be listing the main builders first. Thank you @admin-almos @itsgwencayyye @sebbs12 @elcucurucho @tu-es-gegg and me smile

Thank you for resource/lighting/minor building help @gempuff11 @skullhalo @villagerspawnegg @what-if-a-stranger @extinctfowl @starry-bugs @propheticscrewup @godtierjune @disfrutalakia @born-in-hell @snaziestbean

Let's get started with some general inside builds (everything is photographed by Almos!) A little Cafeteria under the stairs, cubbies to choose from, and of course the front desk!

Then "Plant Class" room 101 with Professor Sebs bell (Sebbs12) outside and inside view

Next Foreign Languages room 102 a seminar class with Professor Alex Godtierjune

After which we got Necromancy class room 103 with Professor Clem Bell

Lastly on the first floor we have Photography class room 104 by the build team (me actually on this one)

Onto the second floor we first got our amenities the Cafeteria!
