I have three american friends visiting soon but none will be here in time for my bday ;;

I heard it was the 30th anniversary of Ghost in the Shell. A good excuse as any to reshare my old Major Kusanagi photos

It was originally a budget and scheduling hassle, but ultimately, I saw a way to do it. But…there are certain anxieties… :’) And I was originally going with a specific person I was looking forward to seeing, which was a big motivator, but I think they won’t go. I’m probably going to skip it.

I could go to both an event in Osaka on 11/23 and an event back here in Tokyo on 11/24 but the Osaka event is a source of real confusion for me lmao. I need to decide whether or not to go within the next few days.

so sweet😭😭😭

I can't stop thinking about the Suica penguin going to the ticket gate in the sky

Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly. Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer. Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

I’d be more fully able to enjoy the rest of Joyce Carol Oates’ tweeting if I could forget the baffling time she called Everything Everywhere All at Once ”pretentious“. I just don’t see how you can have a story with hotdog fingers and a Plot Dildo and be “pretentious“. is that not mutually exclusive

julian, it's better not to piss in daipers. babys dont like it, so neither do adults i should think the best way to avoid pissing would be to drink less what are you my dad fuck off before i send your ship out on a suicide run

thought this was about yang wenli out of the corner of my eye

Does anyone have that deer picture that people were redrawing? Where the deer in the back is glowering with one yellow eye and its horns are surrounding the one in the front? It was a redraw meme but I can’t find it now :(

pretty sure i get to spend my whole birthday weekend fully Plugged In to my favorite fictional nonsense and related social circles (as well as traveling to a city i haven’t been to yet as a direct result) just gotta make sure to not Freak Myself Out during that and have a good chill time

There are Chobits everywhere for those with eyes to see

The set is comprised of pieces of the rapture609c module from Neotropolis! I wanted to take some photos, but I didn't bring my camera. These were snapped with my phone camera, which had trouble with the colors. @tschundler.leds.social.ap.brid.gy edited these for me! 💖 #bjd #bjdphotography

the Rude label seems like satire I can’t believe it’s real

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

i went to karaoke with my coworkers and let me tell you: shrieking along in enthusiasm as someone belts out Cruel Angel’s Thesis was something i had only experienced at karaoke w other westerners before but is clearly a phenomenon whose japanese inventors approach it with even more manic energy

i’ve been idly curious how staunch advocates of “ganja arc is about settler colonialism, they are coded as white exploiters of indigenous people” square away that Wazukyan is the most visibly racialized ganja. (but not curiois enough to ask. in fact i actively should not for my peace of mind)

I missed drawing him a normal amount <3 #art #oc #vin

*Is this real life?

November brings the beginning of the GOP's "Starve Americans" plan.

It's time First art post here, of course it's fucking made in abyss related. It's that time of the year where I'm grieving a bit again so I've just been thinking about nanachi a lot #nanachi #MadeInAbyss #anime #art #digitalart #furryart #furry

‘i want to start dating again next year’ sounds like a comfortably faraway goal to work towards until i remember next year is two months away 😬 regardless: i want to start dating again next year.

well i can’t be glum tonight, look my darlings just got new official art in cute outfits ;A; i zero percent expected them to be in this release! interestingly, i think it‘s the first release where they are the only two ganja— Belaf and Vueko and other/more major characters but no Waz and Iru o.o

🐀💛New commission from @sailor-chiron.bsky.social Look at these sisters having fun together!

Going out w one person or a small group is basically always a good time, going out w a big group is like a 50-50 gamble on if I come home having had fun or so overwhelmed with feelings of social inadequacy that I’m convinced i shouldn’t be alive

Too many anime are being produced, and it'd probably be to a lot of people's benefit if there were fewer titles per season.

Day 27: Knife #orbtober2025 #チ #orb

During Covid I went wild and read a ton of 1930s sci-fi fanzines, and science fiction fandom has always had a) women and b) men insisting there aren't any women

"Cruel Angel's Thesis is officially 30 years old. I still haven't watched Eva, sorry" -Oikawa Neko, Lyricist

corrected a guy about the pronunciation of Mandarake today, could tell as i was doing it that i was making a social faux pas by doubling down when he questioned me and the nice move would be to back off but didn’t. ive been in the bjd hobby for 15 years i unfortunately know veeery well how to say it

I’m trying to more deeply familiarize myself with the Sanhora i don’t know as well and the whole concept of Nein is just making me want to play Fata Morgana again or maybe just check out the sequel/prequel/whatever it was

Please support May if you can. <3

i hope i eventually can meet someone else with similar feelings about B&V ;; “the person who seemed most invested in belavue ever” and ”the person who made the only vuebela doujin i have” both stopped attending events (akotoma) before i came maybe a new person will appear after i move back .__.

a crop from an image with some other definitely not interesting things happening

Randomly seen at the bookstore and gotten: role reversal romance manga I saw recc’d online a while ago. I think this one has potential to fill a demand for a specific type of female power fantasy that is barely acknowledged in m/f. It’s available in English online too which should help me a lot lol.

have faith in your own experiences and interpretations!!! let your personal experience of something have meaning, as opposed to trying to find the “correct” meaning
