Happy Birthday Usagi 🤩

Das Lesestart-Programm war vorbildlich niedrigschwellig: Kinder/Eltern erhielten in Büchereien und Kinderarztpraxen Stoffbeutel mit Vorlesebüchern und mehrsprachigen Broschüren mit Tipps zum Vorlesen. Und was macht das Familienministerium von Karin Prien: stellt die Finanzierung ein. Natürlich.

Typischer Montag. Absage auf Bewerbung, Einreichung eines Abstracts. Heute Abend Ringvorlesung. Dazwischen die "milden" Temperaturen genießen (heute schafft mein Laptop es hoffentlich ohne externe Kühlung). 😤

RIP Miwa. You drove Mishima deeper into madness with a withering insult, portrayed one of detective fiction's most iconic villains beautifully, and produced rare footage of Miyazaki actually smiling. Your power was immeasurable.

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

When meeting a Belgian person: Hey, what's your name? ... Uh, can you spell that? ... ah, so it's a French name but with the Flemish pronunciation, huh? 🙂‍↕️

Wenn der Ventilator nur noch auf den Laptop gerichtet ist 🫠 (Nur noch eine Aufgabe, dann mache ich für heute Schluss...)

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.

I want fewer magic sets, that take longer to produce, made by people who are paid more to make them, & I'm NOT joking.

I have been reading some stuff 🫠 Finished @adriandaub.bsky.social 's book a short while ago, am about a third into @naomialderman.bsky.social 's vision of The Future and just this week I started dipping into @koheisaito.bsky.social 's new book. Together, those three books develop a bit of a dynamic🥲

Tonight we are watching Iron Lung!

The only card from the Marvel set that I am interested in is The Serpent Society, because it's so flavourful for my snake deck. However, so far, there is no poison at all in that deck. Maybe it's time to rethink that (and make everyone at the table hate me) 🐍

Jack Halberstam (Columbia University) spricht über „Anarchitecture" – eine kritische Haltung, die Architektur, Besitz und Gender hinterfragt und Politik mit Trans-Ästhetik verbindet. 🇬🇧 Vortrag auf Englisch. 📅 18. Juni, 18–20 Uhr 📍 FU Berlin 🔗 www.fu-berlin.de/presse/infor...

Gerade aufgebaut: unsere #iconhhu Vitrine mit Comics rund um Nachhaltigkeitsziele. Sie ist Teil der neuen Ausstellung zu den SDG in der ULB der @hhu.de ! 🌱 Pünktlich fertig zum Nachhaltigkeitstag, der morgen ein spannendes Programm bereithält.

Since we are on the topic of fungi... I spotted what looks like some slime flux on this tree! Insects are having a good time.

For the Pride event and just generally, I printed out some TLOU themed proxies for my TLOU deck. It is a fungi sacrifice deck and I can't wait to have Dina and Ellie as my Commanders ❤️💚🖤 (sadly, the toner was on its last legs there...)

Die Forschung zu japanischen Gärten kommt zum selben Ergebnis! Es gibt z.B. keinerlei Belege in historischen Quellen, dass Adelige der Heian-Zeit in Badehose in den Teich ihres Palastes gesprungen wären.

Morgen bin ich auf der Dokomi und verteile Glitzersticker!✨ Wer von Euch ist auch da?

I was interviewed about AI and translation this morning, and I had some Things To Say, including (but not limited to) genAI as it stands now is ethically indefensible, no one wants genAI translations in their manga, and genAI is eliminating paths for new translators to become experts.

I got to play my snake deck tonight and it is so much fun. The second time I did a turn one Sol Ring and soon after managed to swing at everyone and half their life ☺️

(es ist wieder soweit... 🥁) PUSHCART PRÄSENTIERT... : Comicsalon Erlangen Termine!

🎨 I liked this so much I had to draw it

I'm 300 pages into Omens of Chaos and I need to yell!!! 🫨

The real solution to helping historians do research is actually pretty simple: give archives more money. Money for conservation, preservation, storage (physical an digital), climate controlled facilities, and staff (paid at a living wage). You don't need LLMs, you need money.

Drei Tage nachdem Christopher Isherwood Zeuge der Bücherverbrennung am Opernplatz geworden war, verließen er und sein damaliger Partner Heinz Neddermeyer am 13. Mai 1933 die Wohnung in der Nollendorfstraße und flohen zunächst über Prag. Später zog der britische Schriftsteller in die USA.

I just remembered the time I watched Hannibal with my partner, who hadn't seen it, and in episode 2, he looked at Will Graham and was like "I think that guy is gonna have a breakdown".

Habe diese Nacht einen sehr detaillierten und real wirkenden Traum darüber gehabt, wie ich jemandem erklärt habe, wie toll der Open-Access-Fonds der @hhu.de ist. Falls Ihr an der HHU seid und den Fonds noch nicht kennen solltet: www.ulb.hhu.de/forschen-leh... ✨🫰

@smittermeier.bsky.social !!! 🚙

Some weeks ago my brother gave me his old card collection (and I mean OLD OLD) and this week I got the new volume of Destroy all Humans and saw a familiar card 😁 actually the Seraph was a card that I got from a booster back then and it was a Big Deal™️

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple is on some Euro Netflixes starting today ❤️‍🔥

Today is the anniversary of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. I remember the event, and also came across a protest about it during my first visit to Ukraine in 1998. My thoughts are with all those impacted by what happened in 1986. #Chernobyl #Ukraine #OnThisDay #OTD wp.me/p70bQg-2gL

I turned 30 and immediately started going "Oh good we needed that" whenever it rains

Gender Queer will be 7 years old in May. It's spent 5 of those years being in the top 3 most challenged books in the US. I am so grateful for everyone who is still reading it & defending it. 🧡💛💚💙 Read banned books! Fight for freedom of speech! Share trans stories! No on HR 7661!

Some new and some old cards to put in my Final Fantasy Wizards and Sorceresses Deck 😈

also I wish people understood that if I had time to work on a project for free I'd do MY stuff?! like I have a million projects myself dude

I got my precon all sleeved up for next week! I thought about playing it out of the box but I couldn't resist swapping some cards out. Is this an upgrade? We will see... I'm excited to play it! 💚

35 Jahre ist es in diesem Monat her, dass Katsuhiro Otomos „Akira“ auf Deutsch veröffentlicht wurde – Auftakt eines bis heute anhaltenden Manga-Booms. Hier habe ich die Geschichte mal für den @tagesspiegel.de nachgezeichnet: www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/comic...

Are you kidding me? An AI-generated summary for John Hersey's HIROSHIMA? This is gross.
