Hey there fedi admins!
As donphan.social is a Pokémon-themed instance, I decided a few years ago that every single Pokémon icon should be available on here!
I’ve noticed that some servers over time chose to copy some or all of them. I don’t own the copyright on Pokémon so I can’t put a license of them, but by courtesy it would be really nice to credit me and donphan.social, as adapting them all so that they look good on Masto, and importing them all took a LOT of work.
If you want to import them easily on Masto with tootctl, I made an archive you can download here: http://demiboy.online/donphan_pokemon_emojis_2021.tar.gz
It contains all the Pokémon so far, up to the Sword and Shield DLCs.
Hope you enjoy them, and once again please credit me if you use them!

Racism in medicine
> Black US doctor is fired after complaint about talk on racism in medicine
@hafnia This is why my story is important. It's one of finding hope in the middle of despair, and turning my life around and leaving a lot of toxic shit behind.
@hafnia yeah, this white obsession with our suffering is tiring
okay, you know what, I'm gonna make this more visible:
white people, stop telling BIPOC to read NK Jemisin as though we are somehow unaware of the (great!) work she has done.
stop telling us to read Octavia Butler.
find other authors to rec who need visibility, and stop reccing That One Series That Is Full Of Pain And Horrible Stuff.
Celebrate our joy, not just our pain! And stop fucking assuming that because YOU hadn't heard about it, NO ONE ELSE has.
Trust us.
WE KNOW.

re: ps to: PSA for trans folks.
@V @heatherhorns Definitely agree. We should be better than that.
re: ps to: PSA for trans folks.
@heatherhorns Yeah
@XerTheSquirrel ALL THE STORAGE SPACE!

@heatherhorns My view on detransitioners is this; They have my full support, until they start getting into bed with TERFs and transphobes.
ps to: PSA for trans folks.
uh honestly, like, if you asked me for citations? Only two folks I'd previously known, and a few folks they directed me to, cause I was surprised this was an issue (though it feels obvious in hindsight) and wanted to know more.
im obviously not an expert, here, and i don't want to speak for them. but it's like a tiny voiceless group, so i felt it was worth passing along. If you've lived this and feel this was handled poorly, please DM me and I'll delete or fix.

Anyway, I don't mean to rant. This feels like a situation in which it needed to be said. I honestly think the community just needs to be aware.
Speaking of: please respect their identity. I know that sounds silly, but there seems to be(?) a tendency to assume they're only doing it because they're scared or something. That's not your call, and if you don't consider it "real", you're not helping. I get how this can happen, just be mindful.
I KNOW we can be better.

I think a major part of this problem is that it's rare enough to encourage the bystander effect. If someone wants to revert, they're likely going to feel like a "traitor" and they're definitely gonna be treated like one if they're vocal. I beg you to go the extra mile and ASK if they're okay. Like, how would they know you're safe to talk to?
