The Pokemon company should just stop running around the fact that they just want to have a wellness band. Just do it already. You can check my heart rate too while you’re at it.

The way Nintendo continually attempts to make us healthier though pokemon is kinda heartwarming, and I for one am willing to give up all my vital statistics for the chance to make pikachu smile.

Your pokemon want you to feel as great as they think you are.

I feel like a good 25% of the messages I receive are people performing social charity. basically social charity is a term I just made up referring to when people say something nice to a marginalized group member, not out of kindness, but in order to feel good about themselves. Like when people call someone with a physical disfigurement “so beautiful!” even though they dont really believe that. or when they tell an overweight woman that performs hyper femininity that she’s “so confident!” as if she isn’t supposed to be. some examples of messages I’ve received like this are when people tell me I’m “so brave” as if I have to be brave as a passable trans woman. or when someone told me “you’re so beautiful! one day you’ll find someone that’ll love you!” when I’ve had a boyfriend since my 4th month on hrt. generic messages like “keep fighting!” “no matter what people say, you are beautiful” & “stay strong!” are all token messages of positivity that cis people give to lgbt people out of the assumption that all of our lives are just like whatever the last lgbt tear jerker they read or watched & its never prompted by a specific event in that persons life but rather solely by their identity. its ingenuine & i’m not flattered by it.

I got this from r/coolguides. When I showed it to some friends in Slack, Jason pointed me to https://ethical.net/resources/, which is another comprehensive repository of alternative software resources that all come from people who are committed to doing things ethically and responsibly.
