I would love that!! Let me DM you my address!

A sticker sheet from the Michael's craft store with Monster High-esque designs: skeletal ribs in a heart, a skull with a pink bow, the phrase "Ghoulfriends forever", etc.

Michael's straight-up jacking Monster High G1's aesthetic for their Halloween decor this year is hilarious. I'm not mad about it, but it's so blatant.

Aw, that's so sweet!!

And today Sailor J posted a video saying she's coming back to YouTube. I am. So happy.

My IUD appointment went well because I had nitrous, and holy shit. Now I know why people do whippets.

I will repost this forever.

We now have the complete run of Animag, the first professionally published anime magazine in English on the #OtakuArchive, check it all out! archive.org/search?query...

this, definitely. having experienced this as both receiver & giver, i can tell you, don’t hesitate. if we get through all this—together—it will be because we have the courage to share how much we mean to each other. knowing my work has changed (saved) lives has changed, & saved, my own life.

But it doesn't rhyme

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

Between Phan hard launching last week and Sailor J uploading videos today, I am so glad 2014 is coming back

Yeah 😔

He loved Big Brother 😔

It's spooky month. Maybe you'll want to make witch stuff again in November

you can purchase and play DEVOTION directly through Red Candle Games' own website, which I highly recommend instead of using steam!

I'd also add that it's not just a critique on religious cults, but there's many overarching themes and ties to Taiwanese history and culture. shop.redcandlegames.com

Agreed! It's nice to know. I wonder if Kaci would be okay with us posting the info below their drawings (if we know it)

It's Tim Drake/Robin and Kon-El/Superboy from DC Comics

The phrase "you got this, mama" should be made illegal in general but especially for me

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner. Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

I did indeed. (Thank you for being the one to say it lol)

A foam letter L. I guess I took the L.

My daughter just handed me this.

Just don't commit me, okay?

Flier for talk. Here are the full details. I'll be giving an online lecture next week about my monograph, Transfiguring Women in Late Twentieth-Century Japan: Feminists, Lesbians, and Girls' Comics Artists and Fans (2024), hosted by Rutgers University Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Global Asias. Thursday, October 16 at 7 pm New York/Toronto time (or Friday, October 17 at 8 am Tokyo time) The lecture is open to the public. Please join if you missed one of my in-person talks over the past year. (It will not be recorded.) Zoom Meeting ID: 9181599714 Password: 446539 (Or DM me for the link.) ---- Abstract: In the early 1970s, Japan saw the emergence of three dynamic and overlapping communities of women and adolescent girls who challenged Japanese gender and sexual norms: the women’s liberation (ūman ribu) movement, the lesbian community, and a sphere comprised of artists and fans of queer shōjo manga (girls’ comics). In this talk, James Welker will discuss Transfiguring Women in Late Twentieth-Century Japan: Feminists, Lesbians, and Girls’ Comics Artists and Fans, which examines these communities and their cultural import. As he shows, individually and collectively, they found the normative understanding of the category “women” untenable and worked to redefine and expand its meaning by transfiguring ideas, images, and practices selectively appropriated from the “West.” They did so, however, while remaining primarily focused on the local. Welker argues that their transfiguration of Western culture into something locally meaningful had tangible effects far beyond these communities.

A puppy with rollerblades skedaddles across the screen. The text is written in alphabet fridge magnet letters and reads NOT THE BEST, BUT HAVIN FUN

to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

I mean........

Right!! We just wanna have fun!! Let us old people have fun!!
