It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

[Review] Is this going to be the first ever Yuri only poly anime I think I've ever seen?

I don't know if you saw this, @okazu.yuricon.com, but a good addition to the next Yuri News Network update would be that #girlsbandcry is getting a new anime film, with #girlsbandcry having *some* yuri themes at the very least www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-09...

10 MILLION views in 5 DAYS!! Thank you all SO much for enjoying Knights of Guinevere 💙

CMS is shutting down the National Training Program, whose mission is "to communicate Medicare and other CMS-program information that...can be used to effectively train the public." The site will be discontinued Oct 15, the first day of Medicare 2026 open enrollment cmsnationaltrainingprogram.cms.gov

Maybe writing about #indieanimation was a mistake. A recent interaction showed me the follies of such writing. It can be difficult sometimes to write about, especially if a series hasn't released yet. Perhaps I'll review more #anime or older Western #animation instead. I haven't really decided yet.

oh yeah forgot I can post this as well. Print I got to do for Andi's wonderful VA Zelda Khan Black! #knightsofguinevere #fanart

Glad I cancelled #hulu and #disney before the price increase. Such bad timing for this price increase. It makes them look like money-grubbing jerks. Ugh. #boycottdisney #boycotthulu

Bye bye Disney! I managed my #disneyplus account through #hulu. Have no intention of ever renewing anytime soon. #boycottdisney #boycotthulu #boycottespn

A message from Dana Terrace

So in "Addams Family Values" literally try to make Wednesday, Pugsley, and Joel "cheerful" (i.e. a form of torture) by watching hours of... Disney films youtu.be/8-YZUIksniY?... which is only so relevant with all the #disneyboycott going on right now.

@okazu.yuricon.com, it may be of interest that Sentai Filmworks added new December 2025 preorders, incl. Flower and Asura (centered on female friendship, based on a novel series by Ayano Takeda, who wrote Sound! Euphonium) and Azumanga Daioh www.sentaifilmworks.com/collections/...

Not good.

New Yuri Research project! @frankhecker.com and I are looking at how viewers of Yuri/GL live-action series interact with the media. If you watch Yuri/GL dramas, please take our short survey: forms.gle/pipSTkyBQAK5... Thank you for your time and assistance with our research!

✨Down below Park Planet, lived two best friends: Andi - a great talented android surgeon, running on coffee, overthinking, and spite. & Frankie - a rough, reckless dreamer with a big heart… and a past of bar fights and bad company. & soon theyll discover that Park Planet is no ordinary fairytale

Finished this thread for my recent newsletter (pinned on my profile) after 246 parts. Probably the longest thread I've ever done on Bluesky.

YouTube is helping #censor what current admin. employees said about #covid19 vaccines. Sadly, I am not surprised. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@okazu.yuricon.com, I don't know if you saw this or not, but one of the @yenpress.com wallpaper calendars for this month (there's a desktop and a mobile version) features Otoha and Lilisa yenpress.com/news/septemb.... I didn't even know about it until I got a Yen Press email noting this.

Live today (September 1st, 2015) in Texas, Senate Bill 20 (SB 20) criminalizes any R18+ visual material (fictional artwork) of humanoid characters that APPEAR to be under 18. This was pushed through by Republican Catholic Pete Flores for "protecting our children"

Tell the #Smithsonian: Reject demands to whitewash history act.indivisible.org/sign/smithso...

As an ALA member, it's worrisome to realize that the primary representative for our profession's advocacy is actively aligning their self with the party doing the most to censor, defend, and erase the nation's libraries.

I of course think you should do what you like, but as an ALA member, your thread helped me become aware of the issue and made plenty of wise observations: thank you for saying what you did. I certainly agree that I would like to hear Sam speak on this and I hope they will soon.

Decided to delete my thread. I'm not in ALA and can't add anything relevant to the discourse I'm sure is coming. I'd like to hear Sam's explanation before commenting on the queer identities aspect (we share some identities). I hope a statement is forthcoming.

Saw this at the Royal Botanic Gardens of #Edinburgh, back on July 24th, about a seed from a ginkgo tree downed during the horrific atomic bombing of #hiroshima, and I'm posting this in late anniversary of Hiroshima Day, which is on August 6th.

@okazu.yuricon.com did you see this announcement, about the re-release of episodes 1-12 of #princessprincipal by Sentai Filmworks? www.sentaifilmworks.com/collections/.... I say re-release because I am completely certain they already released this before.

Trump has sparked widespread outrage by abruptly firing Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, the first woman and first African American to lead the national library, after a right-wing group claimed she was “woke” and “anti-Trump.”

So you know who the Librarian of Congress supervises, among others? The Congressional Research Service. The people who write those authoritative reports about anything a member of Congress asks them to. The ones that treat Executive branch claims as claims equal to any other claims until proven.

Carla Hayden is awesome and very qualified. Should sue for wrongful termination.

Trump abruptly fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden

Carla Hayden deserved better.

Carla Hayden was an inspiring librarian of congress, and we were lucky to have her

Carla Hayden is both the first African American and the first woman to be the Librarian of Congress.

Dr. Carla Hayden is a people's librarian. Her term goes until 2026 and should remain that way. Don't comply with unjust laws and practices. #FreedomtoRead @librarycongress.bsky.social mag.uchicago.edu/hayden

Oh this absolutely sucks. Carla Hayden was an amazing Librarian of Congress, and a *massive* improvement over her predecessor who was there forever and was terrible.

Trump just fired Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress. A complete tragedy and a scandal.

Donald Trump just fired my dear friend Dr. Carla Hayden—the Librarian of Congress—via email. This is disgraceful. The Library of Congress represents some of the best America has to offer. Equal access to learning for all.

•••••PURGE ALERT••••• Trump gleefully fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and the first Black American to serve as the librarian of Congress. Hayden was appointed in 2016 by President Barack Obama. It seems the Trump regime has identified Dr. Hayden as “anti-Trump” and “woke.” On…

He fired Carla fucking Hayden The Librarian of Congress An amazing, badass, kind human being May he never know peace

The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.   Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

Carla Hayden is awesome, and I will be forever grateful that she was part of my documentary, The Library That Dolly Built.

Dr. Carla Hayden will always be our Librarian of Congress ❤️‍🩹 1st woman, 1st African American Librarian of Congress. Your presence is a blessing to libraries. We love you! ✨ Thank you for your service 💜 apnews.com/article/donald-trump-library-of-congress-carla-hayden-20a1862ce6d2e0d51a84a37b264ce2ef

@amlibraryassoc.bsky.social, will you be joining the @aclu.org/ @acluva.bsky.social/@acluofky.bsky.social lawsuit against Dept. of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) for "quarantining library books & whitewashing curricula in schools", as stated in this complaint? www.aclu-ky.org/sites/defaul...

Hey #skybrarians and comic pros, PRH is pulling @boom-studios.com titles from @comicsplus.bsky.social#skybrarians Comics Plus is the most affordable eBook service libraries have, and library patrons deserve the accessibility they offer for Boom Studios titles.

The Guardian has an 'explainer' about the India-Pakistan conflict that manages to avoid stating that the border between the countries was originally drawn by an Englishman who had never been to India and signed off on in a hurry by Lord Mountbatten because he had to get back to Britain for a party.

It sounds like there were no senior members of the Columbia administration on hand to talk with students tonight. Just security officers and, later, police, giving students generic instructions. They weren't able to deal with emergencies or think on their feet. Where's Claire Shipman?

Oh look, consolidation in publishing is making things worse for libraries and our patrons Again #libcomix 📚

Libraries are, in fact, a perfect place for protest.
