I was so paranoid whenever I wrote out the furikomi form because my handwriting is so bad 😭 that's also how I applied for my FCs and my first NEWS FC had the wrong birthday on it because they misread my 4 as a 9 and refused to fix it...

Harry Potter and the attempt to make you forget how the original trio support trans people

Harry Potter casting announcement like "here's a list of people you no longer have to care about."

This is Samson. He thought he was getting a simple piece of cheese. And then discovered the miracle that is mozzarella sticks. 13/10

My cousin passed away in that accident.
I don't know what to do.

At least 27 people were killed and more than 130 injured when the roof of the Jet Set nightclub collapsed in Santo Domingo early Tuesday, local officials said. wapo.st/3Gbx1qE

my friend also used "big hand town" when I lived on the Tozai Line to tell me when she was on her way! "I'm passing through big hand town now"

my favorite is 暁！I just like the vibes

she would love this actually! she loves cardboard scratching pads

wrestling is just drag

10 books we're looking forward to this spring A famed graphic novelist returns! A Southern-gothic crime-thriller inspired by The Godfather! An extremely in depth biography of Mark Twain! And more!

Pleased to hear Sayaka Murata (and her translator Ginny Tapley Takemori!) in an @npr.org All Things Considered Story this afternoon—"10 Books We're Looking Forward to This Spring".

A speaking moment for the popularity of Japanese fiction in English!

I know literally nothing about it other than the fact that Eng VAs are striking so some bits of the Eng game are voiceless but again... I don't play or interact with the game/notifs etc in Eng at all so I had no idea what was going on otherwise

yeah and people tearing into one guy who got hired not knowing he was accidentally being a scab because he doesn't even live or work in the us apparently??? plus genshin doesn't tell people what they're auditioning for, it's all in codenames

lol i went to the genshin subreddit to see the posts about the crazy lore drop they just did in a web event (?!) and it's full of the eng va drama that I didn't even know what was happening (I play exclusively in Japanese). This is how I feel

my awareness of local events/news since moving over. :/ I guess I can use both but I was really hoping to not go back to the Other Site, but this one simply doesn't have the local resources I need yet (mostly official accounts)

I'm trying to figure out what to do. I actually get more stressful political news from Bluesky than I want on top of not getting any of the local Japanese news + news about my hobbies here... I don't really want to return to the Bad Place but I've noticed an increase in my stress and a decrease in

lol I'm so stressed I'm having the first asthma attack I've had in YEARS (my asthma doesn't go as far as "can't breathe, gonna die," but it's a very painful extended coughing fit and wheezing)

I have it so infrequently that I often forget about it and now I don't have meds...

I go every time I'm in DC. Whenever I'm traveling to the US I make a point of trying to visit DC to see it (and @lissasaurus.bsky.social but lbr it's 60% NMAAHC.) It is one of the best museums in the world, in my opinion. Messing with it will hopefully bring a big storm upon their heads.

scene from Porco Rosso; a man in a blue uniform sits next to an anthropomorphic pig in a trenchcoat, sunglasses, and hat; the pig is saying "I'd rather be a pig than a fascist."

Seeing a lot of genAI art used in the service of fascism lately

apropos of nothing but it's funny how certain folks will always try to chase the style of studio ghibli/miyazaki but only on a surface level and never tackle the themes of environmentalism, anti-war, and empathy i.e. the stuff that made those movies masterpieces

This might be the worst TL advice I've ever seen. The number one thing I tell students is to look everything up all the time. Look it up in monolingual dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries, corpora, thesauruses, whatever! The ability to question your own knowledge is the mark of a good translator.

Varesa is so cute. I will lazily pull for her with primos I get from exploring the new region. Not really interested in Xianyun (sorry Xianyun) and as much as I like Xilonen, I'm never really going to use a Geo who isn't Zhongli. (I'm bad at this game and I don't care)

I left Twitter to get away from it... and somehow my Bluesky list is still COVERED in it. I miss topic-separated forums 😭

Idachi?!?!?!

Jail. Immediate jail, don't pass go, don't collect $200, leave the industry.

I'll bring over my thread from Twitter because I think it's worth talking about this Japanese ad for the new Assassin's Creed - from the perspective of a type designer who has experience creating kanji for Japanese fonts.
There's something strange going on with the Japanese text that says 好評発売中

Closeup of a gray Rock Pigeon with white by its short bill, orange shining eyes, green and pink-purple iridescent feathers on its neck, and pale shoulders

Imagine looking at a bird this gorgeous and calling it a “rat with wings”

Couldn’t be me, I instead bring my camera to shopping centers for close-ups
