Has Someone Made This Joke Yet? No? Ok, Merchant To The Rescue

Hey, it's that time again to apologize to all of our favorite Pokemon swords and shield characters for all of the tragedy and heartache we put them through in our fan fiction and headcanons.

It was @jelly-fish-wishes who commented about Pure Vanilla affectionately shaking Shadow Milk to mess with him... I think this still counts

*reblogs with tears in my eyes*

Chat is it too much to hope for a scene where Shadow Milk Cookie is greatly weakened and trying to hit Pure Vanilla Cookie while he can barely stand while screaming, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU", but eventually, when he realizes nothing is working, he just breaks down and starts crying into PV's robes, and then Pure Vanilla Cookie leans down and starts holding him and comforting him and saying, "Shhh, it's alright" and then Shadow Milk just lays there crying in his arms?

Is that too much to hope for?

You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

You've gotta love.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEWTWO! 

we're fucked

I am not a straight people.

Reblog if you are also not a straight people.

How it’s going:

oh, my post about trumpy and DOGE targeting the IMLS / Institute of Museum and Library Science has 5k likes already. I wrote it really fast and with a terrible headache, so it's not a very good post. I hope I'm not getting you all down, we need to hold on to hope right now.

I don't know what to do about it. Call your reps and complain, that's a given, but ultimately no one knows what happens now. The museums which still exist do not have the space and resources to take on all of the material that will likely need homes in the near future as grants run out and positions are eliminated. We in the "industry" just keep showing up to work, doing our jobs on a shoestring and trying to not remind each other too much about how bad it is. The atmosphere is very tense.

I can share how to help one museum: PRI Museum of the Earth in Ithaca NY, where I worked a few years ago, is in danger of closing this year because of this executive order garbage AND because additional rich people are now withdrawing money they had previously pledged to donate. They take donations and they have an online store with plush toys and apparel and other things, they're good quality. As far as I know, nearby Cornell University is not doing anything to help, so they've had to reach out to the public. It's a fantastic place, if you have something to spare I'm sure they appreciate it.
