Day 6 - sword/weapon I have a bunch that would fit for this, but let's go with Mr Swordboy Poster Child himself, Mikazuki Munechika, because I put in a fair bit of work on the blade and koshirae (which started as a generic black wood katana) #costober #cosplay #刀剣乱舞 #三日月宗近

Day 6: Sword ...I have a lot of sword cosplays, but here's the fancy bird with his fancy hyogo-kusari koshirae (which he absolutely does not use). #costober #cosplay #toukenranbu #tsurumarukuninaga

Double-post because Day 5 is: Long I based my version of Howl on a description in the book, when he first meets Sophie: 'His sleeves trailed longer than any in the Square, all scalloped edges and silver insets.' Probably not the best choice for a first quilting project! #costober #cosplay #HMC

Am I doing this last minute because I am indecisive? Yes. Anyway, I don't play overall 'favorites', but this is a good combo of 'character I like' and 'costume I love,' He Xuan from TGCF. Hua Cheng is @momijizukamori.bsky.social #costober #cosplay #hexuan

Today is 'favorite character' but I like too many characters to pick a favorite, so instead, a few of my favorite photos of one of my favorite cosplays at the moment, Hua Cheng :) Xie Lian in all of these is @pinnedtogether.bsky.social #costober #cosplay #TGCF #hualian

Today’s lesson in book storage: line up back edges not front. See all that warping and splaying?

Welp. That sure is a full-page photo of me in a local magazine. This was a wild experience.

Me from a different era? 5th Grade Jazz Band trombone virtuoso. This photo won a local journalism award!

Yesterday I accidentally invented the idea of a British pro-wrestling tag team of Huge Lorry and Stephen Fly, and I wish I could manifest that into actually existing.

Hard Mode Quiz! If you were a NON-LEGENDARY creature, which would you be? (...this was not that hard mode)

Man, the Chikara show in Milwaukee was 13 years ago now. That show was one of the best I got to go to. The Miramar was such a weird venue for a wrestling show.

Laura’s showing us this old Ring of Honor match from 2008, and Bryan Danielson has the body of a swimmer and the face and haircut of the guy telling you why you really need to be buying individual parts and building your own PC.

My favorite part about this meme is that everything just sounds like a Jojo’s Stand dub name.

So yeah. Made a special trip out on a week night to see Weapons and was 100% worth it. What a ride. What a movie.

Imagine playing The Crusher as your historical Assassin's Creed protag.

This was recorded months ago! Glad this is finally up in a sharable form. youtu.be/lfnMJO5y97g

gender is a performance and I'm being booed off the stage

I've chipped in some stuff. Perhaps there are folks out who might do also.

I bought something extremely dumb. I was not expecting it to be flat packed

I would like @coachnelly.bsky.social to know I went 7-2 with a draft last night on the back of having -2- Moogles' Valor.

Just normal Milwaukee things.

Still doing editing on some of the Tosagumi stuff, but have some vaguely HizeNan shots. ("Is it romantic?" "It's uh. Certainly something intense. Romantic is up to interpretation.") Hizen/肥前忠広: @pinnedtogether.bsky.social Nankaitarou/南海太郎朝尊: @momijizukamori.bsky.social #土佐組 #刀剣乱舞 #cosplay

Magical Girl Utena is about Baeblades.

My immediate reaction to @hankgreen.bsky.social ‘s @smartypantsshow.bsky.social presentation as a professional librarian is this: Why would we use a Chewy Decimal System when Ranganathan’s Colon Classification System is where all our groceries would end up.

A reminder to get/renew your Milwaukee Public Library card.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

It is becoming increasingly funny to me when I see things like 'AI will be able to do all research!' Buddy I don't know how to break it to you, but the amount of information that is not in any sort of digital form, let alone machine readable, is massive.

The latest in digital collections I’ve made for the library: 400 some covers of sci-fi fanzines and other small press titles ! Featuring a bunch of early @thephilfoglio.bsky.social art, 80s furry art, just a whole variety of neat stuff content.mpl.org/digital/coll...

Definitely also pumped I participated in Milwaukee tradition and elected a socialist last night. Still sad we had to elect a new alder at all, but excited for the new guy.

Seeing reports of historic turnout in Milwaukee for today’s election which is… fingers crossed that’s good news
