      I believed the 46. She looked great for 55. A wonderful person from the testimonies. Fuck cancer.

      That makes more sense. I was in elementary school when season 1 came out and she would’ve gotten the VA job for production right at like age 18/19 with no resume for such a major project.

    This is not a political statement. If you are a woman and are unable, or choose not, to have children, please have yourself more regularly screened for breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers.

    Women who do not have children are at a higher risk for these types of cancers as well as other disorders. Doctors don’t always recommend increased screening for childless women despite the increased risk.

    And, in general, women should regularly do self exams of their breasts for lumps or changes in the breast tissue, ideally as a part of your shower/bath routine.

    Diagnosed in May with breast cancer, this was fast.

      If you don’t catch it early on, you’re not going to see the symptoms until its far too late. Hence the need for early and regular screenings.

    I might be mistaken but I think she also voiced Jigglypuff, Vulpix, and Goldeen

    I hope she was able to get the end of life care her family was fundraising for.

    Her voice was a big party of my childhood in the 90s and 00s.

    46 is way too young to go so fast. Excruciating for her friends and family, I can’t imagine.

    So sad to see another person become a statistic in the fight against cancer. My heart goes out to her and her family.

    I hate to make something like this political but Republicans in the senate just rejected a bipartisan bill that would have increased funding for finding a cure for cancer.

          Which is funny, because while it should be non-gendered, the Academy Awards still has separate categories for “Best (Supporting) Actor” and “Best (Supporting) Actress”. And unlike other competitions, the skills required and level of success is not objectively different between the sexes, so the differing categories exist as a relic from America’s more misogynist past.

            I imagine it could be more than a relic of the misogynistic past. It could also be in recognition of the misogynistic present, where women may not have all the same opportunities available to them as men in certain industries.

          Negative. Words change over time, sometimes naturally and sometimes by force. We’ve decided to make it non-gendered because actress is absolutely gendered. Isn’t language neat?

            That’s literally what they just said.
