I showed up here to stay in touch. But if our bond doesn’t carry past platforms, I’m not sure I need to keep thinking of things to say on yet another timeline.

Yay! I’ve been wanting to rewatch this.

manga + pup 🐾

Instead of “Happy Memorial Day,” maybe go with a more solemn, “May we always remember.” Of if you’re an otaku—“It’s a terrible day for rain.”

Secrets of the Silent Witch is the anime and light novel fan’s answer to Harry Potter: Magic school setting? Check. Charming cast? Check. High stakes and addicting storytelling? For sure. The action’s a bit quieter, but the writing’s more mature—and full of the tropes we otaku adore.

R E A D Y for the W E E K E N D

After weeks in approval hell, we finally posted my vacant assistant position. You guys have no idea how excited I am—I'm in desperate need of help. 🙃

I don’t love growing older, but I do love having more years to look back on. It’s easier to give myself grace when I’m not just measuring five years of growth, but twenty-five.

Photos from my travels to DFW last week! 1. Ramen w/voice actor couple Jordan Dash and Kelsey Cruz 2. Cheese tonkatsu w/the voice of Maomao, Emi Lo 3. Boba + donuts with Jeremy from Anime Diet 4. Rooftop pool atop a historic hotel in Dallas

Good morning, friends. I hope you have an amazing Tuesday!

Shimarin and Chiaki spotted in episode three of mono! #anisky

Kamome is definitely (and obviously) best girl

I reorganized my manga and LN shelves to make more space and to make room in my figure shelves, too

Saturday is a dark day—but pain and sorrow soon will be no more.

I'm full of gratitude today. Also Tikka Masala. Lots of Tikka Masala.

I'M SO EXCITED! It's been almost two years since volume ten was released—and I love this series so much!

Raido and Reina…or Sam and Frodo?

I dunno…episode one of Summer Pockets felt pretty charming to me. Even if it plays like a “generic Key-type series” rather than the real deal, I’ll happily take this over another Day I Became a God. VERY happily.

Day 2/2 of testifying at the Capitol. I wish I could say I’m through after this but with almost two months left in legislative session, I fear I’m not. 😭

The one anime I desperately want to watch this season is the one anime that doesn't have a distributor in North America. :/

Celebrating Studio Ghibli by posting AI-generation Ghibli-style illustrations is like celebrating Christmas by throwing rocks at kids.

Getting my Gohan on—soda style

I promise I'm not checking in here only because Twitter is down. Again. 🫠

“Wait, were you hitting on me? Sorry, that nearly made my heart skip a beat, but now that I think about it, it’s not happening.”

The “watch party” at my theater was six people. Four didn’t stay for the bonus material at the end, leaving immediately after the last episode ended. 😅 Like the manga, I thought it was FINE. It was cute. I’m going to write up a first impression for @beneaththetangles.bsky.social that’ll post soon.

Say “Witch Watch: Watch Party” five times fast

So blessed to be friends with @caitlinsvoice.bsky.social! We grabbed breakfast this morning and caught up on life. God is good!

I love how anime can take the most whimsical, aimless moments and turn them into powerful depictions of friendship. Maybe it’s because in showing kindness and loyalty, anime reflects something deeper—that we’re made for community, selfless love, and connections that mirror Christ’s love for us.

Yesterday when I still had hot water vs. today paying to replace a broken hot water heater

Ohhhhh today’s episode of Solo Leveling was way more moving than I expected it to be. 😭

G O A L S 📖

New volumes of five of my favorite series are coming in the mail tomorrow. SO EXCITED!

And for today's cosplay...I'm a middle-aged man! Wait...

Eeeepp! Manga haul! 🤩 Super excited because this has two volumes I am hoping to do a first impression video of! 🤩 (Was hoping False Angels would be here today too, but it looks like it’s coming tomorrow!) Shoutout to @twwk.bsky.social for the Your Forma volume! 🤩

Look what arrived!

Amazon recently sent me a couple of damaged manga volumes. Would anyone want these? Just be sure to be following me, living in the U.S. (sorry int'l peeps!), and hmm..I dunno...reply with a manga recommendation for me! I'll randomly pick someone here or on Twitter. #anisky #promosky

Waiting on this storm to come… ❄️

Not exactly coy, are you, TikTok? At least stay away long enough for me to miss you.

My wife brought cookies home

Han Solo is that friend of yours who calls it "borrowing" when he clearly stole it.

I'm going off of caffeine for the week. Pray that I don't kill somebody. Oh and happy Monday haha ha 🙃

"This is what God's kingdom is like: a bunch of outcasts and oddballs gathered at a table, not because they are rich or worthy or good, but because they are hungry, because they said yes. And there's always room for more." - Rachel Held Evans, Searching for Sunday

A grab-and-go Korean place finally opened up somewhat near us so we tried it out today. It was wayyyy too good for takeout food—better than at a well-known one we had in NYC a couple years back.

honey lemon soda sounds tasty, right?

Dad, there are too many of them! What are we going to do?

This Nendo popped up during CR’s Christmas sale, and even though my shelves are completely out of space, I convinced myself I had to get Sawamura. After all, he’s the only character I’ve ever cosplayed!

Y'all on Blue Sky don't know how lucky you've got it. FWIW, you’re basically getting the "Best of Twwk" collection, while Twitter has to endure all my "uhh, maybe this is clever?" and "surely I'm not the only one who finds this funny" tweets.

I think I'm a clone now There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
