Been rewatching Tuca and Bertie, a cartoon made very specifically for me. A millennial woman’s Rocko’s Modern Life.

Easily my favorite depiction of Fujiko and a top anime favorite, Lupin or otherwise.

Guess all my Saturday morning/ afternoon plans are now just reading manga on the deck (not bad) until the broken power line that almost caused a fire in the yard is fixed. (Fortunately we had rain this week.) The dog is surprisingly calm about all the commotion.

So I get it. I’m also going to flat out say you will not catch me buying BL or even shoujo on digital copy because I do not trust manga publishers (especially biggies like Viz/Shueisha) to not preemptively cave to government censorship.

Thanks for everything George Lowe.

Heartbreaking. His voice was so iconic and incredible, and really showed how you can get some amazingly unique performances from people who aren’t voice actors. SG:CtC was a one-of-a-kind show, nothing like it has ever existed before or since. RIP to an absolute legend.

Spending a couple of days in Savannah in one really old hotel. The floorboards all creak and the floor slopes so bad in the bathroom it’s disorienting. The place is supposedly haunted. Can’t get that from your Holiday Inn.

Hear ye, hear ye! I have just posted 27 auctions for rare and out of print anime and manga in an attempt to raise money for the Manga Library. Happy bidding! www.ebay.com/usr/mangalib...

You gotta have at least one hard 6/10 anime with several red flags that's near and dear to your heart. You need it like any good meal needs seasoning

Gifting myself the day off work for my birthday and keeping it going for a long weekend this year. The older I get the more time becomes the only thing I want.

Bring back the "OHhohohohoho~!" vain girls

The Target holiday decor birds are the one thing that has been inflation proof. Little guys remain five bucks each.

Finished reading Last Quarter and really it was too much of a elementary-kids-solve-a-mystery storyline for me. It was fine, still Yazawa’s stylish art and interesting characters and a bit of melodrama. Mysteries & ghosts do make a good weekend read.

One day, the sadness will end. 🥧 ☕️🦉 Happy Twin Peaks Day, everyone.

What a hard week drafting on apartment building plans. Now to relax and create some rental units in The Sims.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Dawg they Freedom Fried us, it’s so over

I want to chat about this really crazy expectation that has absolutely EXPLODED in today's artist alleys, and I suppose art in general I was seeing the set ups of folks spaces, and as lovely as they are, the bar is HIGH for anyone to table these days, what happened?

I probably shouldn’t admit it but had this exact shirt.

Time to evict AirBnB from your life, if you have't already.

Barnes & Nobles sent the last couple of books in cardboard mailers again, so I guess the envelopes were a blip. Good. It’s also been straight USPS so I’ve gotten them quicker.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone ❤️💘💖💝❣️💜💙🩵💚💛 except republicans

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

Clearly she has read Okazaki’s PINK.

happy super bowl to all

the first time you play Katamari Damacy is a little like the first time you stick your arm out the window of a moving car and feel the wind on your fingers

It’s not that readers are “print or nothing”. It’s that apps typically don’t have the content I want (shoujo and BL) and I profoundly disagree with a “pay to rent until our license falls through” model. Print is the only way you own something here.

Manga readers — we live in amazing times! Manga series we used to just think were never going to get published in English are getting picked up. Ashita no Joe, Legend of Kamui, Fist of the North Star, Rose of Versailles, Neighborhood Story - it’s now up to you to buy & keep buying the entire series

Nostalgia is going to hit. Reminiscing is fine but live in the present. Create new traditions, meet new people and go to new places. Watch/ play/ listen to new things (at least new to you). Nothing is ever going to be the same as it was 20 years ago, just don’t let that make you bitter and unhappy.

Ugh, it’s increasingly hard to stay focused on work. Listening to music is about the only helpful thing I’ve found.

"Meet me at the Lupin Pizzeria......no the OTHER Lupin Pizzeria. If you've gone past the Heidi place you've gone too far." Italy is a magical land.

MAKE ANY KIND OF ART. HOLY SHIT. IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY JUST DO IT!! and be open to explore different hobbies that don't hurt no one, especially yourself

so long as you maintain the appropriate level of professionalism in your public life, you need to find a level of cringe in your private life that works for you and embrace it wholeheartedly, because only you can decide what makes you truly happy

FLCL was an incredibly influential anime, and I don't think it would have had a fraction of the reach without its soundtrack. Animation and comics wouldn't be the same. We owe so much to the pillows.

Cannot be overstated how much the US lost its mind after 9/11 and this was the most hilarious part of it.

Tetris Attack (SNES - 1991)

This is like the smallest problem in the world right now, but Barnes & Noble has sent my last couple small orders in nothing but a padded envelope. Their cardboard mailers weren’t the best (rip rightstuf) but worked fine. Hoping this is a blip because it’s terrible for hardcovers.

Something to look forward to! Classmates flipped the switch in my brain for boys love and it’s still my favorite. (Also I will take anything with Nakamura’s art, it’s sooo lovely.)

Skin is reaching a new level of seasonal dryness where I cried yesterday and tears hurt.
