Plans for streams this Friday may be scuttled due to the storms we're having . I'm barely hanging in there due to scrambling to protect the house from taking on water. Ko-fi is open in the meantime as I need to do emergency prep. Link in replies below.

Now available from @titanmangahq.bsky.social ! GIZMO RISER Vol. 1 has Gurren Lagann and Gachiakuta vibes - sound like your thing? Check out my review today on my blog: karadennison.blogspot.com/2026/04/mang... #manga #mangareview

Root beer tastes like wintergreen and both are nasty.

"Onscreen."

Good morning, it’s Shonen Jump catchup time.

Probably the worst thing about the clocks going forward is having to rotate your entire henge 30°

We were excited to chat with Kara Dennison. She has credits at Crunchyroll, Discotek, Sekai Project, and others. She has written several short stories for anthologies and has written some stand-alone fiction and non-fiction. @rubycosmos.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjJx...

Underworld narrative but make it manga! Today on the blog I review FRUIT OF THE UNDERWORLD Vol. 1, available now from @kodansha.us : karadennison.blogspot.com/2026/03/mang... #manga #mangareview 💙📚

Time to start setting up my mood boards and playlists and whatnot for my next WIPs. I will try to be better about posting regular progress as well. (Keeps me accountable, too.)

You can hide the truth from your self. But never the Twelfth. #DoctorWho

And that's a 10.5k-word story sent off to the relevant individual(s). Now we commence my days and weeks of fearing it's no good. Hurrah!

"Helen McCarthy is the author of the first English-language books on Japanese animation and on Hayao Miyazaki — which is to say, she was there taking manga seriously before the rest of the English-speaking world had even formed an opinion about it." trustory.fm/makemeanerd/...

gundam writers making up guys

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

Sketchbook Bowie character #3: Ziggy Stardust

A friend gave me a dozen eggs from her chickens and I’m going to bed excited about the amazing scrambled eggs I’m going to make in the morning. Not sure what tier of boring adulthood that is but here we are.

My alabaster milk child Teuton keeps asking for ranch dressing at the caviar factory, it is most epic. The fishmongers despise him.

If I click a link for a service and get taken to a funnel, I am no longer interested. Fuck a fake quiz, either show me your price points or go away.

Afternoon tea reviews are back! Earlier this month, bestie and I tried the Tea Around Town experience in Chicago. Here's what I thought, plus a run-down of the full menu: karadennison.blogspot.com/2026/03/afte... #tea #afternoontea #chicago

You will certainly not regret making your games look like uncanny mobile game ads.

Today's the last day of the Kickstarter! Get in on all the fun The RiffTrax Experiments has to offer before it's too late www.kickstarter.com/projects/rif...

This week’s things to do: - Finish and send over a short story - Read the others sent to me for the same anthology - Be on a podcast - See a movie? - Other usual work I guess

also we need shitty little fairies in more mecha shows stop making excuses dunbine and l-gaim can’t be the only ones to benefit

We have entered Day 2 of OPERATION: DONOTHON! I'll be playing @redartgames.bsky.social's release of CITY HUNTER at 1PM CT/2 PM ET on twitch.tv/MachValan! See you there!

Because there's more Katarina now. #DoctorWho

Highguard? More Like Bye-guard. Another live service hero shooter has come and gone. But why did this one not survive? Ellen tried the game out before it was shut down, to find out why... Watch here: youtu.be/wcy6QR8UQNM

If you have never seen the Tokyopop version of Initial D, I don't think anything can prepare you for how fucking awful the music replacement was.

Bad day level: combined two teas to make a third, fancier tea.

Just a quick bust of Tegan, Ms. Jovanka if ya nasty in her air-stewardess outfit. I've drawn Tegan before, but just how Janet Fielding appears as her now. So this is my first air-Tegan. #DoctorWho

Good news that the digitised Beowulf manuscript has survived the digital equivalent of the Cottonian Library fire, the British Library cyberattack of 2023

Timely: I actually think it’s refreshing to not know whether CSM is fully ending or just ending the latest phase. I miss wondering about what comes next and I’m in no hurry to get the answer before it arrives. Nor are we owed answers before then.

Thanks so much to @dreamtheorymedia.bsky.social for sharing my weird little story. I hope you all enjoy!

March is full of new books and manga! Today on the blog, read my review of RAMIN ABBAS HAS MAJOR QUESTIONS, coming tomorrow from @simonbooks.bsky.social : karadennison.blogspot.com/2026/03/book... 💙📚

that really is what it's all about

The speaker was tall and broad-shouldered, and the combination of a squared-off jawline and impeccably Brylcreemed hair made his head look almost plastic. #WIPSnips
