One question I like to ask people when I’m getting to know them is “when you hang out with your friends what do yall talk about” and a decent fraction of the time people will act like that’s an odd question; I keep asking it though I can’t help myself



A Stanford study found that people who played Pokémon heavily as kids developed a small region of the brain that responds specifically to Pokémon characters. Researchers scanned adults who grew up playing on Game Boy and showed them images of Pokémon like Pikachu and Bulbasaur. Their brains lit up in the same exact spot, a consistent area in the visual cortex tied to recognizing specific categories of objects. The reason comes down to childhood. When you’re young, your brain is more flexible, and spending hours memorizing hundreds of similar-looking Pokémon essentially trained it to carve out space just for them. (via @Stanford)








you can't outrun your grief; it'll find a way to work through you, one way or another Robert Bly: "One has the sense that some power in the psyche arranges a severe katabasis if the man does not know enough to go down on his own. Depression is a small katabasis, and something other than us arranges it. Depression usually surprises us by its arrival and its departure. In depression, we refuse to go down, and so a hand comes up and pulls us down. In grief we choose to go down."













seeing everyone have fun on pokopia is giving me INSANE fomo but i just can’t justify buying an entire console for one game 😭😭😭
