#魔法騎士レイアース アニメ31周年 おめでとう！ 海と光と風とモコナ

HELLO I’m Katie, a cosplayer from Nashville who’s been cosplaying for almost 20 years. I love teaching at cons and am learning to be comfortable with competing! Photos by @bunhead-jo.bsky.social and @drdandy.bsky.social (also the MEIKO) Power horns file by @dangerousladies.ca

I'm Ryn. I make costumes, then wear them to a con and get overstimulated. Need to be bullied into working on stuff again. I post whatever on my account, so be aware of that, but I do like meeting other crafters! 3rd photo by geekykokopuff.

Today I went and bought orphery banding and trim for a Gaudate Sunday pink vestment… Also fun fact I met the guy who made the vestments for Midnight Mass today? He’s SO NICE!

Yo! I’m a non binary cosplayer based out of NJ. I like Souls games and weird cosplays! I’ve been cosplaying since 2013! Featuring @chawpstixcosplay.bsky.social as Miku (and she made my MEIKO costume) Most photos by the talented @bunhead-jo.bsky.social !

Feeling really down today. Monday marked the passing of my aunt, who was more a mother to me than my own mother. Yesterday, I went to a cathedral in the city to light a candle & say the rosary in her honor (she & her partner were Catholic) and I found I’d lost the rosary.

Went to a pen show today in Manhattan and picked up all these beauties! 🥹

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

CALL YOUR REPS! Tell them this is unacceptable! www.congress.gov/members/find...

I digitally cataloged one of the largest mineral collections from a single mine in TN. The catalogue went on to be a crucial part of a museums website until it was redone a year ago and more of the back of house collection was made available to the public.

Dark Souls: fascism will destroy everything Bloodborne: ethnocentrism will destroy everything Elden Ring: imperialism will destroy everything These topics are intertwined, but I appreciate that each narrative chooses one aspect to give primary focus and says "this shit sucks."

Food to show where I grew up I didn’t realize Steak Fingers were an Idaho thing and then I thought about how I’ve literally ever encountered them anywhere else…

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Today sucks so here is my darling daughter shoving her hands in a hole. She was asleep like this…

Building off of this: anime fans have NO business continuing the dumb jokes about the furry fandom. Our fandom exists BECAUSE of furry fandom, and in the days before dedicated anime conventions the furry fandom had tons of overlap with ours. We have tons of shared history.
