Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

i had a great time with Brad and Moxie for Anime Podcaster Speed Date!! thanks for having me on :D

Happy international translation day!!! Which I forgot because I was working late 😅 Here's an FAQ for aspiring Japanese to English media translators I wrote for this occasion a few years ago. j-entranslations.com/faq-for-aspi...

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

This is the thing people truly need to keep in mind America is a VERY BIG country with MILLIONS of people who fall under at least one of these categories. Will this bullshit be used to abuse powers and harm folks? Undoubtedly. But they simply don't have the resources. It's a scare tactic.

🧵 ✨🍨 We did it! 🍨✨ The Shoujo Sundae Podcast has struck gold at the 2024 Signal Awards, proudly winning the Listener’s Choice Award in the Recap Category! 🏅 This marks a monumental moment as we are now the first award-winning #shoujo podcast in the United States. 💖

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

I'm so excited to watch this!!!! Go check out my buddy's video on MamaYuyu, my favorite Shonen Jump series I got to work on!!

Going through MamaYuyu again and again for the next video has been so blessed. So much love was poured into it by Hayashi. I love the little glimpses you get of the butterfly that are peppered throughout🦋 If you know you know, but I didn't clock that it was this consistently present for a while

In Memoriam: Matt Haasch “Matt was warm, friendly, and endlessly positive, with an infectious energy.” Azuki’s @evanminto.com honors the memory of the @starfruitbooks.bsky.social founder www.azuki.co/news/2025/09...

Manga friends: I'm going to try to make some kind of memorial for Matt Haasch. If you have stories, photos, or any words of appreciation you want to share, please let me know. DMs are open. If there's anyone doing something similar already please also let me know and we can pool our efforts.

Matt was one of the warmest people I’ve met in the industry—he spoke to my students every semester and his generosity and enthusiasm for manga were enormous. Please donate to his GoFundMe to support his family during this time. What a devastating loss to the community.

Matt was an incredible force and a wonderful friend. Love him so much. Incredibly grateful I was able to work with him and be his friend.

this is so sad. i had just dm'd him i my a few days ago so i could mail him a card. rest in peace Matt. please donate to help with expenses if you can :(

I'm preparing to publish the next installment of AI Killed My Job. This time, the focus will be on translators. If you or someone you know has had a translation job (including translator, interpreter, game localizer, etc) impacted by AI, and you'd like to share, please do: [email protected]

SCREAMING AND CRYING HE LOOKS SO GOOD I CANT WAIT FOR KARMAAAA

anyone who has a viz sub they pay for, I totally suggest leaving a comment about this www.viz.com/company-cont...

If Viz is adding orange AI junk to the viz app, I'm canceling my sub. I don't even look at stuff on the app every month, sometimes I forget about it, but I've been paying for the sub since it started and now they're making me question it.

say no to A i in your manga! email complaints and if you decide to cancel your subscription, state extremely clearly why!! 🫶🫶

please look at Brandon's in-depth lettering post with tons of examples and lots of love for his craft!!

for folks who didn’t know, ive spent hours and hours compiling 10+ years of my manga lettering knowledge and putting it up for free on my github 👇

You might remember that I posted this while I was working on it. A nightmare page almost as bad as the YT thumbnails. Gradient screentone is maybe the most annoying thing of all time to retouch, because if you're off by even a few pixels, the whole thing falls apart and the seams become obvious.

every single letterer and translator who sees a page like this collectively goes UGH

Y ' A L L. Maybe the singular reason this volume took so, so, so much longer.

Beyblade X volume 3! This was actually significantly more time consuming than the the previous volumes and volume 4. But I also pushed my craft harder, so I think some of my best stuff is in here. Let's talk about it!

i finished it and cried a little twice by the end 😭💔 when *the twist* happened it honestly kinda turned me off bc i wanted it to stay more grounded and realistic, but after a couple chapters i settled with it and the rest of the book felt more human and CRUSHED ME 😭😭😭😭 really good!

got my library card for the first time since idk when, and first book i checked out is A Love Song for Ricki Wilde!! :^)

i finished reading Last Night at the Telegraph Club. oh my queer little heart 😭😭😭😭😭🫶🫶

been reading Braiding Sweetgrass and it makes my heart feel heavy, but also so whole and warm. there is so much to learn and unlearn, and a future to believe in 😖🫶
