Laughing at how this is an official Bandai Namco promotional image going into 2026..

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

My water heater decided to stop working this morning. I accept that it’s like 20 years old and I didn’t buy it in the first place but I’m irrationally mad about it anyway.

Popping in real quick to say that condition at the moment is stable. Being hospitalized is another unforseen financial problem, so please share and donate if you have the means. Thanks to those who have reached out. It means a lot to hear from anyone and everyone. gofund.me/bf02c6cae

The one friend who remembers your Livejournal must be protected and revered because they know too much and have seen into your soul in ways no one else has.

All I think of when I see the Pragmata baby is how my mom used to put a shitload of hair extensions in my hair and how uncanny that looks on a four year old.

what being alive currently feels like

Elyse is watching her first C-drama and they’re destroying the effigy of a traitor during a memorial service. She whispers “a funeral piñata” to herself in wonder.

On the 2nd of April 1996, the first episode of The Vision of Escaflowne aired. Written by Shoji Kawamori (Macross Creator), the series ran for 26 eps, received a film adaptation, a PS1 game & debuted in SRW Compact 3 (Wonderswan Color) in 2003. Happy 30th Anniversary 🎉

I made potstickers for the first time and I’m impressed with how well they came out. Even better, I prepped and froze a bunch for later to make future dinners easier. It’s the little things that are sustaining me.

Yeah.

people joke about what experiencing even the banalities of modern society would do to a medieval peasant, but here's a German tourist from a small farming village who says some Times Square salsa verde physically incapacitated him gothamist.com/food/theres-...

Finally got a new phone (RIP to the iPhone 11 I’ve had since 2019) and I forgot what it was like to run an app without my phone becoming the temperature of the sun.

Congratulations to this week’s episode of Samurai Troopers for giving the most emotionally devastating body horror since Fullmetal Alchemist.

We leave anime or shows running for Whitney when we leave the house and it turns out she has opinions. Things she has hated: Digimon, Beast Wars, GaoGaiGar (only the villain sequences) Things she’s obsessed with: Mon Colle Knights, Serial Experiments Lain, Betterman The critic in question:

May this year treat you kindly, little horse #lunarnewyear #yearofthehorse #digitalart

A friend got me a balloon for my birthday and now my dog is terrified to walk into the living room. The poor, simple creature cannot comprehend a balloon.

I got a sample of NOYZ Only Human and @midnatron.bsky.social described it as smelling “like a cookie, but a mature man cookie”

🧧🌸🐎Happy Lunar New Year!🐎🌸🧧 Some happy little horses~ The bigger artwork I'll have to save for another day😊 ❤️Love you guys, drink some good tea today~ ☕❤️

Facebook loves to be like “Remember that terrible haircut you had 17 years ago? Here’s 8 unflattering pictures of it.”

Happy Valentine's Day!

My friends joke that I know everyone and can’t go anywhere without running into someone I know. I want to deny this but then I remember the time we flew to Vegas and one of the contortionists at the circus show we went to was a guy I knew.

I’m watching Beast Wars and my slightly blind, elderly dog keeps whining and growling at every four legged character because she thinks she’s seeing another dog on TV.

Just got out of the 4k re-release of Labyrinth in theaters. I really need to know whose decision it was to digitally airbrush out David Bowie’s dick but not his balls. It did a lot to make some of the closeups less cringe-worthy but it also gave him the impression of a fat pussy. Mixed feelings.

The fact that I made it through this deeply challenging year feels like a small miracle and I am dragging myself across the finish line but I’m here

I hope my friends like eating random things off of wood because this new charcuterie set is probably the only thing I’m gonna serve food on for the foreseeable future

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station

Anyone who has had to ride in my car this year will not be surprised to learn that I am in the top .08% of Mustard Plug fans.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

No one tells you that when you’re the victim of a crime it really isn’t the crime itself that destroys your mental health long term, it’s the way the crime is handled by authorities in the months after. Chasing information, retelling your story, being passed between agencies, zero support.

Atreus is currently battling osteosarcoma, the same type of cancer that took Goki last year. He is a service dog for his owner, James, who could use help in funding his treatments. I know things are tight for everyone right now but any help would mean a lot to his family.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

I said the word “costume” so she whined and huffed until I got her shark costume out for her

Today's Classic Anime Girl is Hinoki Sai, from "Betterman" (1999)! Happy Halloween!~

I was using chalk to mark the hem on my friend’s dress and a piece broke off. I put it down on the floor and my dog just fucking ate my chalk?? She just??? Walked over and ate it???

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Today's Classic Anime Girls are Utena Tenjou and Anthy Himemiya, main protagonists of "Revolutionary Girl Utena" (1997)!

absolute workhorse of a reaction image from over 100 years ago

Baffled by the memory Facebook gave me earlier. Apparently 15 years ago today @midnatron.bsky.social and I were at the Rainforest Cafe…but neither one of us can remember going or even which Rainforest Cafe it might have been. This is haunting me.

Today's Classic Anime Girl is Deedlit, main protagonist of "Record of Lodoss War" (1990)! (Submitted by @lorebard.bsky.social!)

Not only did it live up to the promised spiciness it was so good we called the restaurant just to tell them how incredible it was.

Without downloading a new photo, where are you mentally?

So @silencedrowns.com told me that my dog looks like the Jojolion dog and you know what? I see it.
