One thing I've found helpful about my mini vacay is that it has done wonders for my concentration. Is it perfect no, I'm ND it will never be perfect. But I feel less stressed just not being in a hostile work environment and not surrounded by noise and distractions at home. Kind wish it was longer.

I really want a Citizen Sleeper work that explores the Gardener ending and how the AIs of this world's own humanity is shaped by their protocols and their adaptation to a post-corporate life...
My dream house will have a library/reading room with an attached basement book archive/library for all the books and series I don't want on display right now. I would also have to win the lotto to ever have a chance of building such a house, but a girl can have dreams, right?

Sometimes I can look at a book or comic and go "That's clearly your serial numbers filled off fanfiction, and I'm proud of you for doing that."

I also like how each new recipe incorporates ingredients from the previous one, and they are constantly reusing and replenishing their supplies. Sometimes I find that food manga doesn't focus on this aspect of cooking.

Sometimes you just watch a console showcase and know that some studio paid a hell of a lot of money to be in it - cause seriously, what was that campfire game in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
31.07.2025 13:18 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0To answer the dumb questions before they begin, yes, the books in the bundle are unofficial titles. However, continued fan interest in the franchise fuels continued interest in official merchandise. Which in turn puts money in JKR's pocket, money we know JKR is using to fund anti-trans bigotry.
21.07.2025 02:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0*because they put a note, probably the first one I'd seen on an HB about the Trevor Project not being involved in the curation of the bundle that shows intent to join these two things together, knowing it may cause backlash to The Trevor Project. So they are aware of why many people boycott HP.
21.07.2025 02:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The major disconnect Humble Bundle had to have between their Queer audience and themself to select the Trevor Project as their fundraising charity for an HP bundle seems concerning. The fact that it was intentional* is downright malicious.
21.07.2025 02:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Crying right now cause Citizen Sleeper is such a heartbreaker. In tone, I'd liken it to 'The Knight and The Butcherbird' by Alix E. Harrow - in that it is about hope, resilience, and tragedy all going hand in hand to create this wonderfully bittersweet narrative.

A panel from Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me. Where the two love interests are dancing at prom under a shower of balloons and the main character notes that her girlfriend keeps breaking up with her during this traditionally romantic moment.
Brought myself a Instax Mini Evo and was playing around with what I could print on it. I just love the idea of having a card catalogue of little instax prints of favourite panels from comic books. I just wish the film was cheaper - or there was some third party alternatives.

Daniel Cabot Puts Down Roots
Daniel Cabot doesnβt really know what heβs doing with his life. Heβs lost faith in himself, his future, and maybe the world. The only things he knows that he cares about are the garden in the empty lot next to his crumbling East Village apartment building and his best friend. Alex Savchenko has always known that heβsβ¦difficult. Prickly, maybe, if youβre feeling generous. But maybe thatβs the kind of personality it takes to start a low-income pediatrics clinic in one of Manhattanβs most troubled neighborhoods. When Daniel stumbles into his life, Alex doesnβt expect him to stayβmost people donβt. And when Alex develops useless, inconvenient feelings for his new friend, he does what heβs always done, and tells himself that he isnβt feeling anything at all. Daniel, though, has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and he isnβt stopping now. Sometimes when things seem to be falling apart, it means thereβs room for something incredible to grow.
