Yakul definitely counts as an honorary horse

I've been watching figure skating for a week, and now Carmina Burana is stuck in my head. Send help.

the generative images during the olympics opening ceremonies when the country is ostensibly showcasing its unique culture is so fucking bleak man

Sounds like you need to talk to a kappa.

Just got sent an unsolicited email from a company wanting to AI dub anime. I replied that I would rather eat my own sick.

Here are many of the projects I've worked on that released in 2025. The list includes Wash It All Away, A Man and His Cat, Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick, The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, Just Like Mona Lisa, Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, and The Apothecary Diaries novels (print).

Accidentally wiped off my keyboard in such a way that it closed everything and put my computer into sleep mode. When I signed back in, all my browser tabs were permanently gone. No option to reopen previous session. Goodbye, 80+ tabs 🥲. Well, that's one way to start the year fresh.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Let this year be the year you read again. Literacy is alarmingly low. Times are dark. We need books now more than any of us probably has in our lifetime. Do yourself, and ultimately society, a favor. Pick up a book. 📚📖📘

As someone who worked in healthcare for half my career:

Do not - *DO NOT* do this. The amount of data in your medical record is fucking INCREDIBLE and you do not have *any* idea of how granular things get

DO NOT feed that into the slop generator that steals shit for profit already. It will be sold

Along with the creator of the series "Wash It All Away", we also interviewed the manga's localization staff ( @jaasherman.bsky.social , @sawamsavage.bsky.social, and @macaran.bsky.social ) at @square-enix-books.com last year!

remember, you the consumer must demand quality food

if you willingly consume the slop, they will continue to feed you it

This is some of my favorite every art from a manga I work on. I had to frame a copy of it! Also, you should be reading A Man and His Cat! Hope you're having a good holiday season!

Merry Slimemas to all, and to all a good night!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Twelve Days of Christmas are December 25 to January 5. They do not lead up to Christmas. Does this really matter in anyone's life? No. Is it a pet peeve of mine? Yes. Please help me find peace this season and learn the fun fact! 🎄🧑‍🎄🎁❄️☃️

Fujiwara is a great artist, and it's exciting to see him return to this. In the meantime, we're continuing to make The Mark of Erdrick the best release it can be. Thanks for your work, Fujiwara Sensei!

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

this point really hits the nail on the head of why localization workers are so frustrated by “AI” loc companies.
freelancers have to beg for a single dollar wage increase, while tens of millions are dumped into a machine designed to replace them.
the machine doesn’t even work. freelancers do.

Exciting to have two books I've worked on on the list. And I hope this leads to more people checking out The Mark of Erdrick. Whether or not you're an existing DQ fan, it's a worthy series.

Feel free to reach me on LinkedIn.

I've realized I'm unable to read DMs currently. My state just passed regressive surveillance legislation. @bsky.app, I know it's not your fault, but there's no way I'm giving you my SSN, credit card, or ID in order to read DMs. Sorry to those who've DMed. I can see the notifications. That's it.

You would need to take the JLPT to officially confirm your level. Granted, that isn't a requirement. Speaking only for myself, I'd say, though, that it's best for applicants to have N2 or N1 abilities for editorial roles in this field.

All PRH positions are limited to U.S., unfortunately.

My team at Square Enix Manga & Books is hiring for a junior editorial position! If you have questions, feel free to ask~

Congrats! When I read the announcement earlier, I thought it sounded like a cool series!

Thanks so much for the review!
