It's Saturday!
Post a cartoon series you love.

Is it Mudkip?

Y'know, I was wondering why there was a singularity in my spare room, but that *totally* explains it. Thanks for the heads up, won't be trying that again!

English is just a bunch of languages stacked in a trench coat.

Delicatessen, cliché, origami, piñata, kindergarten, moccasin, tofu, faux pas... Almost anything to do with music is Italian - cello, alto, piano.

Borrowed words are the only reason we have a language in the first place!

"I had to just pause the treatments because I couldn't find any cherry-picked, wildly biased studies that would let me ban them outright yet, but we're working on fabricating some."

Fixed it for him. Fake-ass 'ally'.

Excellent work!

We are trans. We are proud of it. No amount of hatred will ever stop us. EVER.

Thanks for coming to my talk, please go back to not perceiving me 🫣

This is officially the most I've ever posted on here, but it's a subject that elicits strong emotions. All day, every day. Our community is in constant crisis, and it's exhausting. Just remember to take a break, hydrate and rest. Others will take over. The fight will still be here when you get back.

We also shouldn't forget that some of our siblings are in situations where it isn't safe to be visible. If that's you? It's OK. You are still valid. You still belong. We still love you.
It's our job to speak out for those who cannot, and we will shout all the louder so you are heard, too.

Let me just say, in no uncertain terms, fuck them. The venom they spew is toxic, corrosive waste, and sooner than later it will eat through them and those that support them, and we will see the veneer of "femininism" and "protecting women and girls" melt away, leaving their naked hatred on display.

We're all under the same trans umbrella, and we're all being hurt by the loud, wealth- abd christofascist-driven minority that seem to have taken exception to our existence.

While we're on the subject, let's take a moment to remember our trans masc and non-binary siblings. Just as present, just as valid, but consistently ignored by both the MSM and the baying mobs, because "TrAnS wOmEn ScaRy". All the shit that affects the femmes? That hits them, too.

a transgender flag with the word rights in the corner Alt: A transgender flag, horizontal bars of light blue, pink, white, pink and light blue. The words "Trans rights are human rights" flash across each bar in sequence.

🏳️‍⚧️ It's International Trans Day of Visibility, so here I am, a transfemme, non-binary weirdo. Visible, audible, unafraid.

Trans people are all around us. We always have been. And we're not going anywhere.

Evil persists every day.

So. Do. We.

Those who stand with us, loud and proud, I love you. 🩷🏳️‍⚧️

Opportunities to emotionally scar your friends!
For real, if a system can make me emotionally invested in the world, the characters, the lore...
Things that make you cry, but, y'know, in a good way.

Figured I may as well share, too! Mostly old-school choices, unsurprisingly, but 4 of those 6 have been in my team since my very first playthrough of Red back in '99!

When life gives you womens 🤷‍♀️

a blurry picture of a green cartoon character Alt: A scene from Pokemon: Origins, with a Scyther (a green bug pokemon with large scythes for arms) battles an Onix (a huge rock snake), leaping to the ceiling before sprinting across it upside-down and onto a wall to attack

I've always been of the opinion that bug-types are massively underrated. They were always kind of an early game joke with the bug catchers, but there are some excellent designs, Scyther and Beedrill have been amongst my favourites since Red/Blue!

a cartoon of sonic the hedgehog and shadow the hedgehog sitting on the grass Alt: A cartoon of Sonic the Hedgehog sitting on the grass. He's eating a chili dog.

Imagine having so little joy in your life that you've gotta be like that.. Meanwhile, we're just sitting here like

May their pockets get caught on every doorknob and handle they pass.

I'll allow it.
