Insight about myself: I'm better at dealing with things being bad than with dealing with the possibility of things getting bad? 🥲🔥 Also, enjoy this drawing which I think I never posted here.

Looks like I'm SOL with Flashes since my iPhone is "too old"

I have heard @ucirvine.bsky.social will see a $125 million cut if the proposed NIH cuts (currently on hold while they are being litigated) go through. This means grad students will lose their funding, labs and trials will be shut down, and more. 1/ www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/02/17/s...

Looking to getting a paid account for Flickr's unlimited storage service for con photos now that folks are steering away from Meta. Might as well also upload the high quality versions of old con photos here too (2002 - 2010s) Donate to my ko-fi to support this! (info in bio)

I'm long gone from the Marvel cosplay community, it just was so overwhelming and I didn't feel like I'd fit in because I'm more of a shoujo cat. I did try, but I felt like I didn't fit in...but shoutout to the friend who told me that I'd make an awesome Ms. Marvel.

Lol John Oliver set up a how-to guide for how to make Meta make less ad $$$ from you. johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com

Not sure what this says about me and my relation to gender, but I'm feeling much more comfortable using "cat" to describe me in the context of "I'm a shoujo cat" or "I'm a Midnights cat" than say..."girlie."

when she tells me to shut up

"Where my lore started" Of course, the first episode of Sailor Moon I watched like ever. I've been seeing these pop up in western media girlhood-ish fandoms. Speaking of obscure cosplays, if I have enough fabric I would totally cosplay this version.

Funky discourse on CosThreads about cosplaying "obscure" characters. I just cosplay things that make me happy. It's mix of mainstream (lol Taylor Swift) and old school stuff I enjoy (oh hey...Ranma in a fancy dress in that one movie! so much drip!). I should get around to Mariko from Dear Brother

THIS!!! "So here’s my proposal: those Pride parades that Chuck Schumer and all of these other Democrats love going to? Maybe they shouldn’t be allowed to attend until they show that their 'support' for the LGBTQ community isn’t complete bullshit."

Seasons of Ranma: Exploring the "Ranma ½" Fanfiction of the 1990s: This week, we have an article by Adam Wescott that explores the history and legacy of the Ranma 1/2 fanfic community, the scene's exploration of topics like gender and character, and how it's evolved since the '90s. #anime #fanfic

Zot.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of a kind. The last time I felt this way about a series, I’d just finished watching a little show that one of Ikuhara’s buddies worked on in 1982.

Today was a good day - coffee at my favorite cafe, tea with friends, running into a friend I haven't seen in a while, gaming with friends on What the Dub and FFXIV (and LOL soon). Today was a reminder that I'm loved by amazing people.

I have an update on the #Joann Fabrics bankruptcy, and it is not good. A different liquidator has won the auction, and they intend to close ALL of the stores, not just the 2/3 originally slated to close. All stores will close by the end of May. 😞 Source: www.reddit.com/r/joannfabri...

Discussion on Threads if femme heroines (I know redundant) should wear skirts or not in battle? First of all, it's a fantasy. When it comes to shoujo anime, it's a celebration of all things girly. Girlygirlness is at the forefront and it's also our superpower.

In a world of performative empty calorie activism, be a ninja.

A movie you’ve watched more than 6 times, using only GIFs.

What it means to live in 2025 is to dance in your patio to "They Not Like Us" while watering your plants...and your neighbor stares at you in judgement...but you keep dancing...you take care what you have...and let the music play. This may be based on a true story.

"and then I'd get up to watch the Karate Kid series..." "Cobra Kai prequel?!"

"Samurai Pizza Cats: Blast from the Past!" video game is coming, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the anime series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgqr...

Heys! Just a friendly reminder that I'm reaching another tip incentive, but it's FFXIV related this time! Feel free to signal boost and any amount counts to my suffering that I do not want to do. 🙃 #vtuber #envtuber #vsky #vconnect #kofisupport ko-fi.com/komiburne/go...

I'm living in two realities. There's the reality wherein there is a lack of empathy, forgiveness...a sense of unawareness And the other reality, where we know what's up. We know what's going on. And we will fight. They not like us.

Post a meme made by you

This just came up so for anyone who doesn't know - .AI files are *a vector file type*, they are Adobe Illustrator's native file type. Files ending with .ai don't have anything to do with /that/ kind of AI 🫶 Pls don't call out an artist bc you see them working on an .ai file

People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

Gossip bonding is not friendship. I’m not your source for entertainment especially when that gossip is trauma triggers. I’m too grown for this.

...and the way I see it is like religion where there is a deity. The deity to the flock carries different interpretations. Some for good, some for personal gain...or even delusions of grandeur. Fandom is like religion. We don't walk away from the fandom, but we walk away from those who tainted it

Things I've watched over the weekend: House of Gucci Gladiator II Cobra Kai: final arc Conclave More Mashle Finished Romeo x Juliet Romeo + Juliet starting Attack on Titan S3 Caught up with Sakamoto Days

I kinda miss having a medium like livejournal where I can make long form posts in private. yeah, i have a pen and paper journal, but this was the best way to really keep up with friends back in the day.

Once the full schedule for @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social is up, I'm maybe plotting to do a livestream of going through the schedule. It's very interesting to see how unique this comic con's programming is to other comic con's and I've been a regular presenter at SDCC.

Vague post. And this is the part of the story, where she decides to finally start planning her exit. It's too unbearable to live in this current reality. Follow the yellow brick road...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Spent my three day weekend hyperfocusing on sewing.

watching Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet The opening is like, "Am I watching Attack on Titan or Shakespeare?"
