On the left, a group of Take This volunteers gather outside an AFK Room at Pokemon Worlds in California. In the center, Dr. Elizabeth Kilmer wears a boa that looks like a dragon as she presents a panel at PAX West 2026. On the right, two Take This volunteers and Take This's Board Chair Tanya DePass pose outside the Hope Booth at PAX West 2026.

For the past few days, if I encounter what is clearly a scalper's storefront on poshmark that I know is run by a man, I've been sending them INSANE offers/making bundles with messages that start with "Hey Diva, I see you're trying to scalp a kid's waterbottle for $60. I'll buy it right now for $10!"

Watching Logan Paul get absolutely bodied by hot trans girls with 47 Nintendo 3DS systems hooked up to what is probably the pink Razerblade gaming laptop to catch the shiny steelix before he did has renewed my spirit in a way I did not think it could.

I am much more disappointed with how grown adults treated overworked retail employees and literal children today than I am about not getting anything from the Pokemon 30th Anniversary launch. It is clear that MANY people in this hobby need to be publicly shamed for their horrific behavior, and soon.
