Thank you so much to all the wonderful folks that shared helpful resources on plurality, it truly helped so so much in figuring myself out these past few weeks, and in general to be a little more trusting of my own judgement.

This was drawn by my alter/headmate/it's complicated Nyx. There's much still to learn and grow, we're nowhere near "figured out", but I think it'll help to just be patient and enjoy this journey as it unfolds.

Thank you all so much for the kindness and understanding

(I do not know why I'm blushing in the drawing)

Sing, O Muse, of Nyx, shadowed queen of the veil,
Mother of stars, whose mantle of night enfolds the earth,
Daughter of Chaos, whose silent steps weave
The fabric of dreams in the stillness of twilight.

From the fathomless abyss you rise,
Nyx, clad in sable robes that shimmer with the light of unseen worlds.
Your voice whispers in the rustling leaves,
Your gaze softens the blazing glory of Helios.

With you walks Erebus, ancient and profound,
Cloaked in the depths where no light dares to tread.
O shadowed consort, you cradle the world's foundations,
Keeper of the secrets that lie beyond mortal sight.

Together, you gave birth to the weavers of fate,
The dread Morai who measure each mortal's thread.
From your union came the power of life and its end,
Gentle Hypnos and Thanatos, unyielding and fair.

When the stars ignite in the dome of the heavens,
It is your children who light the eternal paths,
Guiding the souls of the lost and weary
Through the labyrinth of time's unbroken flow.

Nyx and Erebus, hear this mortal's song,
Grant us the wisdom hidden in your shadows.
May your embrace bring solace to the weary,
And your mysteries awaken the hearts of the wise.

Great is your power, and deep your dominion,
Nyx of the silent sky, Erebus of the boundless abyss.
To you, I offer my words and my wonder,
For in your darkness, the seeds of creation stir.

Die private Raumfahrt boomt, doch europäische Firmen werden wohl nur Zulieferer der Amerikaner sein

Reichlich spät entwickeln auch europäische Unternehmen leistungsfähige Trägerraketen und Raumschiffe. Hat der alte Kontinent erneut den Anschluss an eine Zukunftsbranche verpasst?

🇪🇺 #Nyx is compatible with #Ariane6, #Falcon9, #Neutron, #H3, and #GSLV. The "#Bikini" reentry demonstrator was intended to demonstrate the company's #reentry technology. Unfortunately, #Ariane6's upper stage failed on its deorbit burn, so the Bikini capsule remains stuck in space. The current timeline for Nyx's debut is 📆 2028 arstechnica.com/space/2024/11/
