Fun fact: There's a movie about an unqualified politician who tries to build the tallest tower in city, disregards the warnings of scientists, wants to dismantle libraries & museums, tries to be rid of emergency services, & attempts to lock up undesired groups I just described PAW Patrol: The Movie

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I'm going to be at two cons this month as a panelist! Stay tuned.

art that claims to be “apolitical” is often the most revealing it reflects what a culture considers safe

I have to give a shoutout to this video on the history of women in cosplay by my friend @hakc.bsky.social and specifically how attractive female cosplayers have not "ruined" cosplay as we know it.

Agreed.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Me, a few months ago... "Oh, this will be a short, maybe 25 minute video!" Me editing, "Why the hell did I make this single section 13 minutes long!?"

I am so excited that my girl #Violetevergarden is finally getting figures 🥹

There's a charm in 70s openings I just don't see as much anymore. This is one of my favorites.

I am begging into the void for #SummertimeRendering and #LinkClick to get Blu-ray releases in the US. Add #Oooku if you're feeling generous. Thanks for your attention to this extremely pressing matter.

half the bars in okc are having some kind of rest in piss ryan walters party, love that for us

a 2012 survey on manga reading habits when asked about "genres" respondents enjoyed the biggest gender gap was on shoujo web.archive.org/web/20130222...

I've been trying to find an anime that isn't political. And I've ruled out SO many of them. I heard One Piece might not be, but politics was the literal text of the story. I tried modern anime, couldn't find anything, and so I went back to the 60s. But Astro Boy is political too!? Someone help me!

Why does this have such "fuck me" energy?

Spread the word: There IS something we can do about this. The two emails attached are places you can contact Nintendo directly about copyright violations. I suggest things like, "I won't purchase more Nintendo products if..." and "is Pokémon a brand that is to be associated with violence?"

I will be at Lexicon in Stillwater, OK, on October 25th! It is a FREE one day convention at the Stillwater Public Library. I'll be presenting my panel Winning Love by Daylight: #SailorMoon and #Queerness- a hilarious dive into just how unapologetically queer every iteration of Sailor Moon is!

Let's normalize blaming Takumi Ichinose for everything.

Something a lot of people don't know about me is I grew up in a rural area. And didn't have access to anime via DVD, VHS, or streaming services. I found a list I made in highschool of anime I one day wanted to see. I haven't watched them all but I do wish I could tell young Birdie where we'd end up.

This #Kotobukiya Queen Chrysalis figure is going to awaken something in some people. Just sayin. #mylittlepony

"It can be a hobby, or really, anything else, but I love when people have fun doing what they love. It's like they're sparkling.” -Marin Kitagawa

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

Last week, a Fox News host said homeless people should be involuntarily euthanized. Last night, Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about MAGA. Guess which of them got fired?

This the love interest by which I shall compare every love interest in anime to. I will accept no objections. 90s #shoujo #OVAs knew what was up. Princess Army Wedding Combat, for anyone wondering

Got my audio back! I'm working on the editing for my next video essay! It'll be out by Halloween! 🎃

Can confirm. This show rewired my brain chemistry growing up. It's got such high production value, and practically no one has seen it 🥲

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

I am so ready.

We live in the weirdest era. We have shitposting assassins, Discord elections for PM, and anime revolutions. History books are going to be so strange in a few decades.

His work was calling for lynching of trans people. Political violence is wrong no matter what and he constantly called for it.

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.

More store updates! The Madoka print I made is also up in the store! ASpecIllustration.etsy.com/ca/listing/4362119935/ #MKart#MadokaMagica #PuellaMagiMadokaMagica #MagicalGirl #shop #SmallBusiness

Hawaii announced they are joining California, Oregon, and Washington’s West Coast Health Alliance which will provide their own science-based vaccine guidelines and make vaccines accessible to everyone.

Do I know what this anime is even about? No. Am I going to watch it because that opening is straight fire? YES.

Colleen's Manga Recs does a great job explaining the assumptions behind our westernized view of what Shōjo is, vs what it actually is.

Incredibly grateful to @pcgamer.com for sharing about our Games for Palestine charity bundle. Thank you so much for the coverage!! ❤️ www.pcgamer.com/games/you-ca...

New short up! A quick look over of the #OVA boom and fall, through the lens of #shōjo OVAs.

I am feral for another season of #ravenoftheinnerpalace

I'm watching Kuuchuu Buranko for a video. While I don't click with everything in it, sometimes the anime just hits you out of nowhere. Also, Mayumi is a queen.

Today's cosplay lesson: Make sure you check if the fabric you're wanting to dye is synthetic or not, because you have to use the right kind of Rit dye. $20 lesson learned 😆

Omg, the imported hentai VHS I got for panel research is just a slideshow of pictures with voiceover 😂

Fun Fact: Marin Kitagawa and the leading cast of Simoun are some of the only anime characters to have canonical shoe sizes.

I wish companies in Japan cared more about creating #Josei. It's such an underserved demographic.

If you want an OVA to watch with friends that does not disappoint with how unhinged it is, try Oz! Like, seriously, go in blind. It's so worth it. #ova #retroanime #oz Bonus game: Take a drink every time they say wheat field

Currently watching my first Precure! #tropicalrouge
