Sometimes I think of the time that Team rainbow rocket literally sent over a bunch of frickin other Team Leaders from LITERAL DIFFERENT UNIVERSES and Colress comes in here like “aha, yeah I’m sending ya’ll home”. Like, first off, Colress literally made a machine that sends people home to their original universe. Like wow dude. Also RR somehow got villains from other universes like?? C’mon, it’s just that easy lmao

Thinking about it. It’s not that hard to travel to different universes and all, like at all?? It’s been shown so many times in the anime and in game!! Honestly it would not be hard to find out where Ingo went and send him home. Plus idk sounds like a fun post game thing to do or DLC thing to explore,,, Gamefreak I’m looking at you rn Honestly though its all bc of legendaries throwing a fit and getting humans caught up in it and i find that hilarious

For Elliot, how do you know when to use he or they? Since those are the new pronouns. I don't want to use the wrong ones by accident.

It’s simple really! Think of it like how it’s taught in basic English courses. A little studying also doesn’t hurt! It’s always best to refresh your knowledge of pronouns!

Think of it this way:

Sally likes her shirt, she thinks it looks cool!

Jacob likes his shirt, he thinks it looks cool!

Elliot likes their shirt, he thinks it looks cool!

Kacey likes pers shirt, per thinks it looks cool!

Marco likes xyr shirt, xe thinks it looks cool!

Baaraco likes eir shirt, ey think it looks cool!

Honestly there is so much to learn about pronouns and how to use them and how to make people feel comfortable when addressing them. In general and if need be always look up how to properly use certain pronouns in sentence structures.

(Disclaimer: if I used any of the above pronouns in an improper fashion please let me know as I want to make sure you all feel comfortable❤️)

As mainstream as it sounds, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers is my favorite. I just... the sunflower means so much to me. If my relationship with Jesse was a flower, it’d be a sunflower. They search for the sun, the positives , the best of every situation. To feel better, you have to think better. Jesse taught me that. I’m now the mentally healthiest I’ve ever been since I was 12. I’m 24. Like I just???🌻🌻🌻

What's the difference between he/him pronouns and he/they pronouns? (sorry if this is a dumb question I was raised in a very conservative/sheltered place and I've had to unlearn a lot of like homophobia and transphobia stuff so I sometimes have odd gaps in my knowledge about this kind of thing)

Of course love!! You’re trying and that what really counts!!

The difference is the person also goes by they as a pronoun. So like, for example:

John goes by he/him pronouns. He likes cars and makeup, but he does not like getting his nails done. It bothers him.

And

Corey goes by he/they pronouns. They like the outdoors and wearing dresses, but if he is ever seen in a floral dress they might just gag. Floral print is just not for them.

Typically it’s seen that those who go by he/him she/her they/them etc. pairs go by those forms of pronouns only. And those who go by pronouns such as she/they he/they she/xe xe/they etc. go by more than one form of pronoun.

This is the information I am able to provide as an ally but I feel like it could also be better explained so if anyone would like to correct or expand upon this please feel free!

Sometimes I hope the friends I made, no matter how small of a time I've known them, know how much they mean to me.

Legit would take y'all out to your favourite food place and treat ye or just hang out and vibe just because you're amazing and allow me to talk to you and be in your presence like?? Hello???

I love my friends so much, I'm sorry if I'm overly affectionate vocally or awkward at times, I genuinely adore you and I hope I can express that enough through my words of affection,since that's the best I got lol,, Art too.. art's a good way 👀

5 Tips For Being An Ally from Chescaleigh on YouTube

This video and a video titled "We Want White Allies In The Ferguson Movement, But 'It's Not About You'" can be found on this Huffington Post page here (warning for images at the bottom of the page from the Philadelphia protest on the Eric Garner grand jury decision - the first image is of one of the protesters crying and it's pretty powerful and may trigger some people. Also warning for the usual general icky internet links that may come up on the side of the page)

I have a few issues with Claudia Boleyn's 2 recent videos on the behavior of the trans community on tumblr towards cis people, but I'm pretty bad at articulating these issues in a concise manner, so please bear with me.

While the explanation she gives as a cis ally is pretty self-aware, it is also very basic and shows that she is "only" aware of the tip of the iceberg. There are rather violent and hateful and angry posts and reactions regarding cis people. Denying their existence (by probably not being aware of them?) doesn't really help, since it favors the relatively speaking polite trans activists and gives the cis people who watched her videos the liberty to cherry pick the worth of the trans person calling them out on how many curse words they use.

I expected her to be more aware of her videos passively encouraging such a behavior since I'm certain that she as an angry queer woman is aware of these structures existing.

What would have been nice would have been an explanation for why these angry posts exist and why venting rarely is nice or polite and isn't supposed to be a learning experience for our oppressors, I guess.
