If you could change one Pokémon so that it was more viable in the current format, what would it be and how?

I don’t know where I’m going with this. It probably word vomit on a platform that by design will only amplify hate. But I want to at least try. I want to say something now for the gabby in 2016 who felt like she couldn’t. Thanks for reading.

Please, if you haven’t voted yet this election in the US and you agree with anything I’ve said above, please make time to vote tomorrow. Please. I don’t want to wake up Wednesday morning like I did in 2016. I want to keep working to make things better, not make things worse.

I don’t want to be afraid of people close to me dying because some states have decided that women’s health care is less important than a book. I don’t want to see people dying because they aren’t accepted for who they are.

I know that there are a lot of issues at play, and I’d be lying to say that any single person would be able to match my dream for where this country is heading. But this election isn’t one where we can choose to be selective. I don’t want to see my friends, my rights taken away

Figure out who they are and just need time to feel love, acceptance, to be their true selves without fear of rejection or violence. Maybe they’re like Chalkey and still dealing with the hit that non profits took 4 years ago that’s drastically limiting their ability to help.

I have a lot of friends who lives at stake this election. Maybe they’re like me and it’s just anxiety and they’ll find a way to carry on. But maybe they’re women who want to have kids but don’t want to risk dying of a treatable miscarriage. Maybe they’re trying to

Or disliking a woman to the point where literally anybody else - /anybody else/ - would be preferable to take their place.

I remember the look my manager gave me the next day when I came to work, tired, eyes red from crying. I knew who he voted for and his look of pity soured the rest of the time I spent working with him. I just couldn’t fathom putting others existence aside so I could make money

Maybe it’s hyperbole, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s anxiety speaking.

But I remember in 2016 not feeling like I could confront my peers on if they really valued my freedom less than the possibility of a couple of tax breaks. I felt crazy for thinking it could get that far.

Also YOU DONT HAVE TO SHARE WHAT YOU VOTE FOR!

Voting booths are private and in MA at least you fully seal your ballot in an envelope before turning it in. Do your research and make informed choices based off of YOUR views and values and nobody else’s!!!
