I will eventually be more active on here again, hopefully in March. For now, please know I'm just incredibly busy in my personal life and am just trying to keep to myself until the dust settles and I feel much more grounded.

Dear Brother is one of the most “required viewing to understand the anime industry” series that most western fans never acknowledge
it’s like how the modern animation industry is about 50% “people who watched Utena”
you watch Dear Brother and it makes so many other shows just click into place
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
I’m going to keep offline for a few more days because while I remain an optimist, I’ve been struggling to wrap my mind around life under fascism since the start of the year and it continues to sap my energy. I do want to be more active this month though: just give me and my heart time to process
Today is the 15th anniversary of my father’s death and I think that for the fist time as an adult, I’m really, genuinely grieving him and it fucking hurts so goddamn much because of the intense longing to just let him see the guy I am right now
It’s Black History Month and all I want is a Nintendo Switch 2 and Kirby Air Riders
hey I guested on a podcast! wow! put me in your earholes!
thanks again to Caitlin and Tony for having me, I really enjoyed our discussion :)

Yes even though I haven’t watched Belle; I cried so much and honestly, I’m going to be writing an article any It and finding joy under facism through music because it was so damn good
I'm so sick of being afraid, so sick of paying bills that don't matter, so tired of having to think about eating when our nation is being disappeared. Fuck ICE, fuck domestic terrorism, and forever fuck facism: I'll be finishing up the garments I've been making for my community tomorrow.
I'm scared: I'm an optimist to my core and I am terrified. I didn't want to know where I'd have to sit in history under a facist regime. I didn't want to feel like they could kill me at anytime.
But I do, and if I'm going to sit somewhere, it's going to be for my nationwide community.
I am going on strike alongside the rest of the nation tomorrow. It will cost me part of my paycheck because my workplace will not be closed, but I also know that now is the time to show that the ethics I write about and share are true to my core. I can't be only talk: now is the time for action.
Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.
Still staying offline but just wanted to let everyone know that I’m openly weeping and have been for the past eighty minutes over Cosmic Princess Kaguya so it’s really good and everyone should watch it
Also going offline for the day because I really don’t want to risk see a video of another person being murdered. Take care everyone and remember: you don’t have to traumatize yourself in order to still seek justice.
Facism will never make me bend the knee to cruelty. My kindness is who I am, but it’s also a choice, and I will never cede it.
Forever and always, Fuck ICE
Exactly! This is why I’m hungry to have at least one!
I don’t want a digital watch, I don’t like them at all: I like analog and like reading them
My kingdom for a goddamn analog watch that I can wear to work instead of my smartwatch that I have come to HATE
I want it to snow purely so I can go and pretend to find out WHAT IS LOVE? And make a cute video
It’s only the 22nd and I’ve already read 7 books. One is the audiobook version of the same novella but like…STILL
I'm a deeply flawed individual, but I bring joy to the world.
