As someone who works with print ready files for a living I cannot stop laughing

Close up of Ariana Grande on the blanket looking not as bad but still pixilated

Bought this Wicked blanket at the theater and I genuinely love it—super soft, kept me warm and cozy during the movie when I started to get cold—but it wasn’t until I got home that I realized how comically, terribly pixilated it is

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Losing my voice before voice acting: Ah man, this sucks, guess I can’t yap as much :/

Losing my voice as a voice actor: This is the end of my career as I know it. I will never be able to audition for/record anything for the rest of my life. When will my voice return from war.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

SAY. THAT. SHIT!

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City after running on a platform centered on making the city affordable for working people.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Also props to this amazing Zeke cosplayer, who when I asked to take his picture said “Wait, let me get the baseball out.”

Attack on Titan Beyond the Walls World Tour at Carnegie Hall was too phenomenal for words. AOT will always be my favorite series of all time, and I’m so thankful I got to spend the afternoon enjoying the music from the series with the folks who made it happen in a sold out venue full of fellow fans.
