With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.
Last week if you told me you had “Trump accuses Kamala Harris of racefaking in front of an audience of black journalists” on your bingo card, I would’ve chastised you for an incredibly poor-taste joke, but apparently you can mark that square today
So, something to understand is that he does not listen to his advisors or follow the strategy they set out for him, almost ever. His campaign strategists and advisors have been pretty staunchly pushing the GOP and the public-facing side of the campaign to avoid attacks on the basis of race or gender, because it loses them poll numbers and gains her support. This hasn’t stopped him, or any of the other Republicans, they just can’t help themselves, but his advisors are practically begging him to cut this shit out. The other important thing to understand about this event is that the appearance was cut short because his own campaign requested they end it, that’s how bad a job he did following his advisors’ strategy
seeing shockingly few people understand this very basic idea so i made this flowchart to help you determine when and if it’s okay to shapeshift into another person.
VERY SIMPLY STUFF PEOPLE!!!! I DONT KNOW HOW SOME OF YOU KEEP FORGETTING!!!
okay but what if im doing a bit. just so i can be like “oooo look at me i’m so-and-soooo” and make fun of them. if it’s really funny. it wouldnt work without the shapeshifting i swear
people use this as an excuse way too often!!!!!!
for people with static bodies, you have to understand how personal their facade is to their identity, and how traumatizing it can be for them to be stolen from them, even as a “joke”.
genuinely cannot believe the attitude some shapeshifters here have towards static beings… like. you’re mad at us for saying you shouldn’t shift into someone without asking first?? be fucking for real right now. if you shift into a real person you literally take a piece of their consciousness in your own to be able to channel their visage. it’s incredibly fucking disorienting to have a literal piece of you ripped away from your consciousness for g-d knows how long for someone else to play a silly prank (not to mention how fucking awful it is to have your visage used for something you would never do) and if too many people shift into you at once it can have incredibly damaging repercussions!! like literally ripping your soul from your body and killing your physical form. thats literally what happened to elvis. so many people started impersonating him and it fucking killed him. if any of the shifters on this site ever actually did any research on static people they would know this but they don’t care because static pain is only a big funny joke to them 🙄
THANK YOU. i try not to speak for statties too often (im not sure if i can say that word but “static beings” is kind of a mouthful, plz lemme know if thats not ok), but so many people literally act like you didn’t see the heartbreaking footage of Elvis pushing through his final show while his soul escaped his body!! as if it isn’t compulsive in the American school system to watch that footage in grade 8!!!
and most people just FORGAVE john lennon for straight up SOLICITING SHIFTERS IN HIS AUDIENCE TO TAKE ON THE FORM OF ELVIS WHILE HE WAS ALSO PERFORMING A CONCERT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME AS HIM. i mean, he was shot about it eventually but nowadays people talk about him like he didnt basically kill a man live on stage.
it’s fucking gross honestly and not enough people take this shit seriously.
Hey, quick question. What do you mean “or place”???
Are you like, shapeshifting into the titanic or something? The leaning tower of piza?
it’s not my job to educate you.
This is misinformation! All shifting requires a piece of some soul! Just (in some cases) from a parallel universe! There is no ethical- *turns into a corn on the cob*

God me and some friends are talking abt being dense af rn and i just remembered this one time i was shopping w my dad and i wanted to get rainbow shoelaces at the dr martins shop. And there was this punk girl, dyed hair face piercings rlly cute, behind the counter and like prince charming putting the shoe on cinderellas foot she offered to lace my gay shoelaces into my dr martins and i let her. “Wow what good customer service!”. And then in the car my DAD had to tell me that she was flirting with me a major L to gay people over the world
She was on her knees for me and everything and i noticed NOTHING im still so embarrassed good god
I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie
Ok but the other one is purring so hard
If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead
Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) - they are still classified as Lesser Cats.
Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.
YOU CANNOT JUST SAY THAT AND NOT PROVIDE A VIDEO
I HAVE REALISED MY MISTAKE AND SHALL RECTIFY IT:
Cheeps.
Filed under: Things I Was Not Prepared For
Cats can either purr or roar but not both. There are only four cat species that roar: tigers, lions, leopards and jaguars. All the other cats purr.
The largest cat that purrs is the mountain lion. It sounds amazing.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
was chatting with my brother about gravity falls (again) and i said something like “man, can you believe stan waited and worked for 30 years just for the chance to try and bring his brother back?” to which my brother responded, “yeah, it’s nuts when you think about it. i wonder if stan got trapped in the multiverse instead, if ford would do the same.” HELLO???
Back when we started Ellipsus (it’s been eighty-four years… or two, but it sure feels like forever), we encountered generative AI.
Immediately, we realized LLMs were the antithesis of creativity and community, and the threat they posed to genuine artistic expression and collaboration. (P.S.: we have a lot to say about it.)
Since then, writing tools—from big tech entities like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, to a host of smaller platforms and publishers—have rapidly integrated LLMs, looking to capitalize on the novelty of generative AI. Now, our tools are failing us, corrupted by data-scraping and hostile to users’ consent and IP ownership.
The future of creative work requires a nuanced understanding of the challenges ahead, and a shared vision—writers for writers. We know we’re stronger together. And in a rapidly changing world, we know that transparency is paramount.
So… some Ellipsus facts:
We will never include generative AI in Ellipsus.
We will never access your work without explicit consent, sell your data, or use your work for exploitative purposes.
We believe in the strength of creative communities and the stories they tell—and we want to foster a space in which writers can connect and tell their stories in freedom and safety—without compromise.
it is so interesting that my severe ocd impulses, that have eaten hours out of every day for years and years, basically stopped the second I cut gluten out of my diet. and return post haste if I slip up and eat something bad.
my stupid body has been going haywire and attacking itself because it thinks bread is an enemy, and that has LITERALLY been driving me insane for my entire adult life! where’s the romance in that? you mean I went crazy because I ate toast for breakfast? what are you talking about??
this is my “haha turns out there was a gas leak in my house and that’s why I’m like this” moment. except it’s BREAD!
we should criminalize ace trainers battling with their rhyperiors on the fucking I-40 when i’m trying to get to work on time. there is a goddamn BLISSEY on the road

Wait what is op talking about? Lapras officially stopped being endangered back in 2016 and are actually an overeffective predator that are driving gastrodon populations almost to extinction in some parts of alola. This is actually just blatant misinformation? I guess??

the fact that you can press b to cancel a pokemons evolution is so funny to me. like imagine a butterfly about to emerge from a chrysalis and you just put your hand on it like ‘shhh. buddy. not yet’ and its like ‘aww ok’ n climbs back in and zips itself up like a sleeping bag

this is a way better model… you’ll still get transphobic & intersexist drs of course but i prefer this to male / female or even having separate questions for gender & sex.
[we can’t see the full form, but i’d suggest having a “something else” option and dominant hormone question too.]
as a cis woman who’s had a hysterectomy and partial oophorectomy, this would be helpful for me, too! it’d be pointless to try to diagnose me for disorders that affect organs I don’t have anymore, after all.
being inclusive helps us ALL. 💖
we could probably calculate the amount of man hours wasted on testing trans women and women who have had hysterectomies or oophorectomies for pregnancy every time they’re admitted to the emergency room and justify it on that basis alone.
Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?
Everybody, apparently: No?
Run into a cave and break your ankle so that people have to come find you and they see you lying at the bottom of this beautiful cave and maybe there’s a waterfall and the light from the crystals makes you look really beautiful and they say “Are you okay?” and you say “I think so” and they say “oh my God have you been here alone this whole time with a broken ankle” and you say “it’s okay” and they say “you’re so brave” and you are brave and you look so beautiful surrounded by cave crystals and everyone stands over you and says “oh wow” and “you poor beautiful thing” and “I’m so sorry we let you run into the cave but I’m so glad we found you” and let them carry you home and promise to be your best friends forever and that everything’s their fault and also they named the cave after you and you’re prettier than all of your enemies and your enemies all died of jealousy while you were in the cave.
The razorbill, razor-billed auk, or lesser auk (Alca torda) is a North Atlantic colonial seabird and the only extant member of the genus Alca of the family Alcidae, the auks. It is the closest living relative of the extinct great auk (Pinguinus impennis).

At the end of the day, some people are correct and believe the purpose of literature is to observe, reflect, and analyze life and the human experience, and some people are incorrect and believe the purpose of all literature is unilaterally to impart good moral lessons to small children, and we’re never going to agree with each other
