Our local academic publishing house has a treat for everyone:
"The story that hatched Mothra—available in English for the first time, translated by Jeffrey Angles, who wrote an afterword about the novella’s cultural context, the unusual story of its composition, and the development of the 1961 film"
The fact that the Youtube distribution got covered by "the trades" too deadline.com/video/shogun...
It is literally on YouTube in the original Japanese audio with English subtitles

can't "love libraries" and not fight for them to be fully funded.
My colleagues at ACRLog wrote short tributes to the life and work of Fobazi Ettarh @fobettarh.bsky.social. I wrote about her work on disability, which I think deserves more recognition. acrlog.org/2026/03/04/t...
Thanks @ezerrenner.bsky.social for coordinating. #CripLib #VocationalAwe
Two Documentaries That Explain This Moment in Libraries and Book Censorship
The Librarians and An American Pastoral together are a robust, if imperfect, means of understanding this censorship moment.

This, from Ada Palmer as part of The Chronicle's survey of 11 scholars on the future of higher ed, is what I needed to end the week.
It is as bad as it sounds, and freedom to read folks have been anticipating this now for years.
Make your phone calls. Send your emails.
If you're stunned/enraged by the latest anti-trans cruelty in Kansas and want to help people directly, this 🧵 has options (highly recommend finding one small thing to do rather than/in addition to ragescrolling & howling into the void)
Y E S !!!! PHYSICAL MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this so much 💜
Del Taco's chicken soft taco. It got me through undergrad depression & I will never let it go.
I started this morning screaming into a pillow and quite possibly concerning my neighbors, just in case anyone wants to know where my stress levels are at 🙃
I am begging the last few folks I know using Substack to leave already.
Already should've found a new platform given the Nazi stuff; gambling nonsense is just the latest bad thing.

Who put Yuta's arc in the Tragic Romance book display? 🤣
They're correct, but oh my god!
💜💜💕💜💕💜💕💜 I love your work so much!
I mentioned to a coworker & fellow librarian that I unapologetically love paladins in D&D & recommended @tkingfisher.com Saint of Steel series that I absolutely devoured. She is now in my "if she writes it, I will read it" personal list 📚💕
I WAS SO SAD THAT NICHOLAS TSE WASN'T IN GEN-Y COPS THAT I COMPLETELY FORGOT THAT PAUL FREAKING RUDD WAS 💀

@littlemac1183.bsky.social it still makes me mad thinking about it!
The fact that we didn't get more of this series is a damn shame 🥲
"If you see this, repost with a Sentai team that is not Power Rangers or Super Sentai"
With the 🔥high-octane🔥 action of reading Claymore and Dungeon Crawler Carl (1 & 2) back to back, A Psalm for the Wild-Built is such a nice slow-it-down, palette cleansing read 🍵🌳
It feels real weird to hold grief over a TV series ending, but Super Sentai was always my favorite
Happy days Steve! ✨️
GA friends, please call!! email!!
