And then there was the day a little black cat showed up while I was out taking pictures.

Something we recently pieced together is that for our longer switches, we often lose our identities during the switch. Especially for our median headmates – when we're not quite the person we were before, but not yet fully the person who's switching in, it can cause some confusion, and due to being in this in-between state of change, we don't have a concrete sense of who we are (like if you were a color gradient going from blue to red – every shade of purple would be you going, "Who am I??" until you're solely and confidently red). Thus, any singular identity is lost while we switch, and for a time we operate as some blurred amalgamation of the members who are switching. It's a bit of a strange thing to think about, and an even stranger thing to experience. Though now that we think about it, it's probably something we've seen other systems talk about – it's just that most talk about switching focuses on either the circumstances or the dissociation, and not the actual switch in identity.

#we get something similar to this!! mostly when someone new is forming #like if someone's partway through forming then they kind of like #slide through identities for a bit? or vibes rather?#like when 16 was first forming it seemed for a little bit like it'd be generally angry #and then once void's personality started to settle void ended up as team dad #the brain gets kind of soupy when someone is switching in or forming or what have you #-1

i hope the other telescopes and space probes aren’t feeling too jealous of all the attention james webb is getting from nasa lately

Reminds me of when NASA had to purposely crash the Cassini probe and her scientists started crying when she broke apart.

Trust me, Hubble still gets lots of love. Astronomers get very attached to their instruments.

For context, Cassini was sent to study Saturn, but they were worried about her contaminating it’s moons once her battery died, so they sent her into Saturn’s atmosphere so she could lay forever with her planet.

NASA cares so much about their instruments. They nickname their rovers and give them family portraits. They taught them how to sing Happy Birthday. When an instrument goes down, they cry. They filled the Voyagers with tons of remnants of our home even though we’ll never see them again. They gave all of them names. Our robots know so much love and gratitude and they’ll never know loneliness.
