1/ For everyone who is excited about #10Dance, but isn't familiar with the source material, it's an on-going BL manga by Inoue Satoh. It was serialized in Reijin Hyper Boy's Magazine around 2011 before ending up under Kodansha & currently is published online at YanMaga.com #テンダンス

i should clarify the things making this a good day: - support from friends including all of you <3 - possible chance to actually get hired for a job i actually want to do? - everyone salivating over hot live-action yaoi strictly ballroom - secret fourth journalist thing that's PRETTY WILD AND COOL.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY i'm so surprised like i think i'm genuinely surprised it feels on a small scale like how it felt when i did a job interview at the NYT, and afterwards I felt literally dazed, unable to comprehend that had happened, and above all unable to fathom how HAPPY i felt about things

omg

guys cross your fingers for me, my very very most favorite true crime podcast that i've been listening to since 2017 just put out a call for a FULL-TIME WRITER, and they want someone with experience writing long-form narrative and true crime who's familiar with their style, that's meeeeee 🙏

Well that video was chopped yeeeshhh. Posting the actual art. #blueskyart #art #fanart #Wang Yibo #王一博 #yizhan

This is what we mean when we say we've been Yattacked

Netflix has clearly gone all in on Machida Keita but also this is 100000% me bait and I can already barely handle it

👀

What is it with people ghosting me for years and in some cases decades and then popping up again like "hey bud" like no time has passed at all, or worse yet, not even actually messaging me but interacting with my STUFF (like my fic or my writing) in some way where I can see that it's them, but not—

I frequently use my computer's built-in "read-aloud" feature for e-books, which features mainly voices from Google's text-to-speech feature. And I am constantly amazed at how poorly it does at, for ex, always pronouncing "read" in the wrong tense, or bafflingly always assuming "sake" is the wine. ++

things my phone thinks this character is: a, d, &, g, L, T, A things my phone absolutely does not think this character is: an uppercase "i"

I gasped

I've been having trouble trying to visualize a character whose energy is simultaneously peak femme bishounen but also peak harsh militant old-school teacher-with-a-ruler energy, and then my brain went "oh you mean AC from SDC" and suddenly my life got so much simpler

earlier today I read a (terrible) porn fic where a fully gender-swapped female character was described as having a prostate, and folks I knew we would reach the era of kids getting their sex ed entirely from AO3 and this is clearly the result

I resent the expectation to write a yuletide letter and I always think a little more fondly of people who just put all their details in the signups, as the gods intended 😌

someone please tell me how I'm gonna survive after my severance runs out because no one wants to hire me and IDK how to freelance bc I haven't had to do that since 2006 and my hours of job applications just immediately get filtered through AI into a slush pile that no human actually looks at, help 😶

1. That is a very good suit 👀 2. He is aging backwards 🫠 3. "BLING-BLING" 😄

I'm coping with everything by watching Woman in Cabin Ten bc Ruth Ware is the only storyteller I trust to equal the chaos of this moment and Keira Knightley remains extremely pretty and watchable. Plus I read this book but totally forgot who the woman cabin 10 is.

ngl i can't keep up with the whole 'strategically throwing some dem senators under the bus because they are/aren't up for re-election' dialogue happening rn, i need a character list and an episode by episode flow chart like this is nirvana in fire

Describe your cat's personality with one photo

in my quest to like every single cat in this chain I have found a true diva, will be upstaged by no one, not even the Garf:

I slept for most of the afternoon, so I have experienced approximately 10 minutes of today's transition into dreary late fall light, yet I am already just very full of WHY CAN'T HUMANS HIBERNATE UNTIL APRIL

yeah so my other eternal best friendship --> CP --> smoldering ruins of a destroyed relationship finally stood next to each other again for the first time since 2006 so good news fam we'll see XZ and Yibo together again in 2040

TIL that while my stylus-to-text tool on Android is completely utterly incapable of translating a capital letter 'I' written in cursive as an I and not an ampersand or a lowercase letter a, it will register a well-drawn heart and render it perfectly: ♡♡♡♡♡♡ It will also do :) and :(

I'm so burnt out that even my fun hobbies feel like an overwhelming amount of work

listen i am very proud of my favorite Tarot shop for partnering with indie artists and art studios and clearly labeling which of its decks used AI (which may sound like sacrilege but like, gen AI has fully consumed the tarot world and non-transparency is THE battle we fight) but i can't stop loling—

hello

is he back in Balmain?! finally?!

Stumbled across a link (via the always great @sixthtone.bsky.social ) to a 2020 report ranking online novelists, apparently in terms of money/success/?, and it has Priest ranked #5 but MXTX only ranked #11 and I simply just do not believe this at all.

I have been summoned in no order: The VVitch Midsommar Pearl Green Room I Saw the TV Glow. i

every time i see this i lol because it's really yibo revealing himself to be EXTREMELY ONLINE, like he's not thinking of *a* groundhog, he's thinking of *this specific* groundhog and i just find this so hilarious, ONLY WANG YIBO WOULD GO HERE

happy birthday to me

gosh he is soooooo pretty

in 'nickel continues to overreact and artemis continues to be unpredictable' news, artemis has not only gotten over whatever spell this was, she recovered so well that yesterday she TRIED TUNA for the very first time ever since i have had her, despite years of unsuccessful coaxing. she loooved it! 🐈

i keep wanting to blather about a thing, but that would immediately give away what fandom i'm writing for yuletide, so [INSERT BLATHER BLATHER BLATHER HERE] and pretend like i had exciting fandom thoughts lol

"Cats" well yes 😂 now and forever, baby

me in 2005: what do you mean there's a whole holiday purely devoted to setting off fireworks for my birthday?! me in 2015: TODAY IS MY GLORIOUS DAY I ACCEPT TOKENS IN THE FORM OF OVERSEAS SPARKLERS AND FIRECRACKERS, TY TY me in 2025: 😩 ah my day of terrified pets, weary neighbors, and migraines 😩

this guy is my favorite because his expression is so smug 😆😆
