A digital illustration of the plush shark Blahaj, sticking out of a bag that is shaped like the iconic ikea bags, but patterned like the transgender flag, on a pink background. „Coming out” is handwritten underneath.

Blahaj is coming out of this pretty bag to wish you a good Trans Awareness Week. ✨🦈🏳️‍⚧️

New art by Kiyotaka Oshiyama for "Look Back" 4K/Blu-ray box set (Japan).

It sucks this change probably happened because a shitty ass AI company came out with the same name AFTER them.

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

Saw 50+ Rumis, dozens of Zoeys, a smattering of Miras, and whole groups of Saja Boys at my kids’ school’s Halloween parade today. It’s great, and I plan to wield them all as evidence the next time some animation studio opts for yet another reboot instead of an original idea.

thirteen fast, fierce volumes of fire and blood

what an excellent series

I can hear the chants now

"what do we want!"

"Free community college for public high school graduates with at least a B average!"

"When do we want it!"

"On a moderate timescale that won't impact the national debt ceiling!"

Notorious pirate captain turned enormously wealthy private land owner urges caution against a thrilling life at sea.

I really hate seeing the takes on Japan from people who just discovered that tatemae is a thing, who act like all Japanese people are lying to everyone, always. Just like anywhere, most people aren't going to be your best friends, and a handful are. You just find the folks you vibe with. It's human.

Abstract cover for The Gilda Stories

4. The Gilda Stories (1991)

Four vignettes in the life of a Black lesbian vampire; very in convo with Rice thematically and stylistically, but TGS imagines vampirism as a site of communal memory keeping and solidarity across generations of the marginalized. A must.

3. Let the Right One In (2008)

One of the best child vampire stories, queer and extremely Gender. Threads the needle between sweet and unsettling with expert precision.

2. The Black Vampyre: A Legend of St. Domingo (1819)

The first American vampire story, short and well worth reading to get a richer understanding of the genre

One thing I’ll always be grateful for is Kazuki Takahashi. His life. His work.

I will never have to think “oh that’s a shame” or separate him from the things I love about his creations.

He never let us down.

He lived a hero. He died a hero.

He will live on that way.

I will repost this forever.

Hardback manga My Name is Shingo V6 by Kazuo Umezz against a red background. Two children peer in through a doorway at a room with the remnants of a party or something strewn all over the floor. Liquid is shooting up out of the glasses (maybe? I have no idea what's going on). The children and doorway are highlighted in an orange rectangle, and the title is a shiny lavender purple, as is part of the spine that's visible.

Two-page spread of two children from the waist up running against a background of galaxies.

The confounding conclusion to my wild ride of a translation baby has arrived on my doorstep!

Panel from the manga Heterogenia Linguistico. Two lizard-people and a beast-child are asked "How would you feel if everyone ate you after you died?" to which they reply: Good. Good. I'd be glad.

Painting of a woman with a baby in her lap, its naked butt turned up. She's cleaning the baby's dirty butt. A man stands nearby, holding his nose. And people say art history is boring. Hello!

Was trying to remember poop-themed artworks & suddenly remembered one of my all-time favorites: Jan Miense Molenaer's "The Five Senses: Smell," 1637—which in fact I saw just last week on a visit to the Mauritshuis www.mauritshuis.nl/en/our-colle...
