The other day, I met Suicune in Dream Island, but I wonder how we got home together.

The fact suicune can run on water but is being carried by driftloom makes this so iconic

The 2025 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 12th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 30th August 2025.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

If you can't wait for survey numbers, you can click here for a public spreadsheet of non-secret info with graphs as it comes in, updated manually a few times per day.

Thank you so much!

the biggest questions detective pikachu answered

no one but professional trainers has a full team of 6 in the pokemon universe because it would be a fucking gigantic hassle to deal with 6 animals, let alone different types that need different things

some people don’t evolve their pokemon because imagine having a fucking cat and then you can choose to make the cat five times as big and strong. would you do this if you weren’t battling.

[sindri42]

Technically if your cat isn’t battling it doesn’t evolve.

That does however give cat owners a strong incentive to not let their cat outside, because realistically any cat that is allowed to roam free is gonna rack up exp until it evolves.

A software tester walks into a bar. Runs into a bar. Crawls into a bar. Dances into a bar. Flies into a bar. Jumps into a bar. And orders: a beer. 2 beers. O beers. 99999999 beers. a lizard in a beer glass. -1 beer. "qwertyuiop" beers. Testing complete. A real customer walks into the bar and turns on a screen reader. The bar goes up in flames.

Happy TDOV and also the 9th anniversary of my coming out as nonbinary 💛🤍💜🖤

[mycomorbidromance]

After like 4 1/2 months I finally had my cardiologist appointment, and he was not even slightly concerned about my high resting HR (>110) because everything else about my heart seems fine. Which I *think* is a good thing? But he also seemed to think it was silly that I'm still masking and told me I could take it off (contrary to hospital rules). And he told me that you always grow out of POTS and no one in there 40s or 50s deals with it (which I'm fairly sure is bullshit), AND that it's never so problematic that it affects your life in any way (which I know is bullshit).

So like... I don't trust that this guy knows what he's talking about, but he sent me for a blood test jic and didn't tell me to lose weight, so I'll take it 🤷‍♀️
