the guy ringing me up at biggym yesterday complimented my Leo charm ^^

as a friend pointed out, probably the biggest change in the 2010s-2020s in this context has been the emergence of clusters of furry communities in certain cities like Seattle, Boston, the Bay Area etc. which has changed the convention/online dynamic. but those changes aren't equally distributed

seeing discussions about whether furry is a "fandom" vs a "subculture" is reminding me of my surprise of going to kemoket for the first time in 2017 decade ago and realizing it wasn't a "con" in the sense I thought of them, but purely an event for buying and selling dojins and merchandise

there's so many things in this world that simply aren't my business and im very grateful for that

also

happy to say that im reaching truly unprecedented levels of yiffiness in my 30s

Reading the wikipedia page for the Japanese politician Ozaki Yukio and I feel like this paragraph is maybe the most striking anecdotal evidence of the long history of climate change that I've ever seen

not sure if im my brain is busy or if im just stupid but in the past week ive had multiple instances of people asking me for very specific pieces of information I knew months ago (wifi passwords, phd graduation procedures etc) and I couldn't for the life of life of me remember anything useful

I got a new one!! I love this series so much

『偶像と想像』を一人で見に行きました。濱口竜介監督の映画を初めて見ただけど、紹介としていい作品と思いました。三つの短編映画で編成されて、それぞれはナラティブ的に繋がっていないものの、「偶然」と「誤認」という共通のテーマがありました。第二目の映画は皮肉的で面白かったですが、第三目の方が純粋なラブストーリーとして一番好きでした。

the other day I came out to one of my kohais as a furry and he was like "yeah I actually kinda figured that from your line icon” this is my line icon btw

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

AD rules and doesn’t deserve this. Please free his account!!

Met oomf and got access to a secret hidden part of Tokyo (the roof of nakano broadway)

It only just now occurred to me that the word 'androgyny' is just a combination of 'andros' and 'gyne'. I feel dumb

Found a random mishima reference in this manifesto from a gay magazine circa 1989??

Idk I see all the jokes about Lindsay Graham being called Lady G and regularly calling on male sex workers and the whole thing just pisses me off. It just reminds me that our politics are still controlled by these disgusting, pathological vampires with no inner lives, these spiritually dead cretins

This time around our assignment is to prevent any further occurrences of the recent multiple child kidnappings that have been happening here at the cockadoodledoowopdoo fun park and to apprehend the kidnapper I think that you understand our mission very well Don’t you?

finally got to see the most famous scene in this entire series

watching xmen 97 and what strikes me is the way mutanthood is interesting as a metaphor bc its not congruent to the real world. like, mutanthood is clearly a metaphor for race, but insofar as mutants have to "come out" and face acceptance or rejection from their families, its also a queer metaphor

『愛の新世界』をoomfと一緒に観に行きました。大変興味深い映画でした。主人公は1990年代の渋谷でBDSMのお嬢様としてバイトをしながら演劇団体のメンバーとして頑張っている青春映画。一見で見るとそのSM世界と演劇世界は全く違うと思っても、最終的には演劇とSMは表裏一体というもので、両方とも主人公は一生懸命姿と見ると、なんとなく感動になりました。1990年代東京を撮影する映画として、そして青春映画としても大変貴重な映画だと思います。

What is with those jackets you see old guys wearing sometimes that have like, fans built into them? Do they actually keep you cool? They look kinda hellish to wear in this heat tbh

マリファナが日本に合法させてほしいな

再び会えて何よりです ❤️ @kawamotonao.bsky.social

I like my life a lot!

大体日本語で自分の言いたいことを細かくまでに言えるようになってきたが、たまには慣用的な表現に困ることがある。例えば「終電に間に合わないならI’ll figure it out」と言ってしまうとか

居場所見つけた❤️

Lmao

Not to make unreasonable requests of my friends but could someone please put a gun to my head until I actually submit my book proposal

People rushing for trains in Tokyo is sooo funny lol. “Ohh noo if I don’t catch this train I’ll have to wait 70 seconds for the next one” get real problems

Sitting in a cafe next to an older gentleman who’s reading a newspaper article about the World Cup with a headline that reads “America suffers a completely humiliating defeat despite Trump’s intervention”

The mascot of Umegaoka station feels very @gaydog.online coded

I need to post here again and more because MA on the other site is dying and so am I It turns out that I still have a sun allergy and I have until tomorrow to raise rent and I'm scared. I'm nearing 24 hours without prednisone too and could go into adrenal crisis at any moment.

I use to dream of times like this

I generally liked Toy Story 5? It didn’t break the mold but it was cute. I think it was a good idea to make Jessie the main character

I don’t vote in Maine anymore so I haven’t really said much about it but it really would be nice if people with nazi tattoos and histories of sexual assault didn’t insist on being the nominees of must win states, huh

love the thing that happens when ive been speaking Japanese for like 2+ hours and then someone comes into the room and all of the sudden starts speaking to me in fluent English and I can feel my entire brain groaning and creaking as it tries to execute a 180 degree turn

One of the furry community's originals, Roz Gibson, is in really big trouble. She is in kidney failure, and needs a donor, so please reskeet. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1138...

Ok guys I hate to say it but I think the bara/kemono doujin scene in Tokyo is gentrified. Today I found multiple furry doujins that I bought for like 1000-2000 yen years ago going for 5000-7000 yen now

昨日、学会が終わって後輩たちと一緒にカラオケに行ってある曲をグループで歌った時、いきなり懐かしい気持ちに溢れてきた。なぜなら私は2013年に初めて来日したから今までずっとカラオケに行くという気づいていなかった習慣があるとやっと気づいたからだ。場所と周りの人たちが変わってもカラオケ自体は変わらない。人生にそういうの安定的なものがあることに本当に感謝してる今

my favorite poem… here is o'hara reading it
