Thank you very much!
Any/all Yuri/GL live-action watched on streaming services or Youtube.
Understood. I have long said that post-TV domination, the medium is not the message...the message is the message and I think the rise of fascism through social media proves me right. Every subsequent link pushes media consumer towards the right.
No promises.
We are still looking for folks who watch Yuri/GL live action dramas to help us with our current Yuri research. If you watch live-action drama on Youtube or streaming, please anser our survey. Thank you!

It was nicely done. Thank you for writing it.
AI is great at determining what jobs are right for me. Either an Associate internship - what is that, even?- or a Senior Director! (This some agency email, not me using AI.)
The ending was 10/10

I know not everyone can send money, and I know I'm behind on commissions, but this month I haven't made enough, again, to pay all my bills… and my spouse cannot afford to cover for me again. Ideally I need $350 minimum, feel free to buy a sketch or just send $2. Please. ko-fi.com/ayusheknows
Took me a while to be ready to write this, but here's my post about Matt. I still can't fully believe he's gone.
I'm so sorry, Evan.
Life is feeling a bit 19th century this Monday. I walked my wife to work then walked back, did laundry, shopping, writing. 6 miles so far on the day.
Fabulous. I love her work. Thank you for sharing!

Morning friends
AHIP has already made a statement confirming all insurers are making approved vaccines $0 patient co-pay. www.ahip.org/news/press-r...
If they were smart, they'd coordinate and be one coalition, that could bring other states under their umbrella.
IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.
I've been asked if this might be licensed and, obviously I have no way of knowing, but...please do tell @sevenseasentertainment.com you'd like to see it, so they know there's interest. ^_^
Interesting. I use that as an Rx.
Saw the study about an over the counter antihistamine that seems to reduce covid infection, but are having trouble locating the drug? It's because in the US it mostly goes by the brand name: Astepro. Walgreens does sell it as a generic, but right now likely cause of the study Astepro is on sale.
Interesting.

Do it....
That was my yesterday. Feel better tomorrow!
This also applies to the cowardice and complicity of corporate media, entertainment, and publishing. (Panel from my adaptation of LIES MY TEACHER TOLD ME. Get it & other books while it’s still legal to do so. Do you think that’s a joke?)

as you cancel disney subscriptions, please remember to support your favorite independent media. there are amazing people doing critical work with very little support, and things are only getting harder. here are some of my favorites: www.citationneeded.news/friends/. feel free to post yours below!
Wifes' company staff meeting is once again going over time, so we can't eat dinner until very late. Don't do this to employees.
me: i need to write me, 30 seconds later: what if i make a meme instead, this is productive and authentic bc it is self promotion but also depressing
Here are the first vaccine recommendations issued by the West Coast Health Alliance, which includes California, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii:
Knowledge Commons hcommons.org is a wonderful service to trust for archiving and distributing your work. For social sciences, we're here, too. We work for the scholarly community. At Academia.edu, the scholarly community works for them.
Yeah, "wow, we smell' seems an obvious line at some point
Today on Okazu – The Fed-Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess, Volume 1 Okazu Staff Writer Luce takes a look at this adult office worker isekai fantasy game manga with a lead character who is not at all a cookie-cutter protagonist. okazu.yuricon.com/2025/09/17/t...
Yeah, how not be a selfish rich wanker. He could feed a country and this is how he wastes his money. Gross, tiresome and pointless
Development limbo so no one can work on it
I see it pretty regularly in SF written by women, rarely in fantasy
Congrats!
Huzzah! I am vaccinated against flu and COVID. And I will still wear a mask and wash my hands because I do not enjoy being sick.
There are reasons for me using the horror that is CVS.
Update: I called CVS and magically, it is working now. So you can schedule appts for COVID if you are not 65 or over.
I second this. Crying on a plane is not optimal. Congratulations to you, though! What a wonderful reason to cry.
No worries, it's just that drive to explain that happens online.
Before you helpfully suggest I do something else, there were no "qualifying" boxes to check. They system kicked me out at birthdate in a state where that is not supposed to be a consideration.
Thee were, as I stated to someone else, no qualifying boxes on this. It probably differs by state.
There was no list here, just birthday, which is BS as everyone is allowed to get in this state
In my state everyone over 6 months is supposed to be able to get one.
So CVS online COVID vaccination system only checks birthdate and even in states where anyone is supposed to be able to get it, it says not eligible if you're under 65. So just walk in or call, don't bother trying to schedule.
I am pleased to report that the arms have been sawed off. They grow back in digital form if you buy a copy of Anime Herald magazine from our online store.

Ugh, how awful. My sympathy.
Same I'd use them again.
I also second a wi-fi router. You can order them online and have them sent to your hotel
You will love it. The convenience stores are your friend. Before you go to bed, drop by one, grab something light to eat and an electrolyte drink , so when you wake up too early, you have something to eat and drink for jet lag

And you report this like it's not just the sad delusion of a man with no sense about what cognitive advantage looks like because he is so rich he doesn't have to be smart or interesting.
This day began with a massive plumbing emergency, filled with a visit to Lowe's to get a new wet/dry vac because the old (30+years) one could not cope and has ended with me catching Flabebe for Pokemon community day. I am tired.
Okay, that's a good line

New #anime book out next month. There's a lovely promo video by author #JoeOConnell online: great to see his positivity and pride in his work, though the promo's Hallmark Christmas movie vibe isn't my thing. Neonsplatter's take here: tinyurl.com/5n8afw6f Book info here: tinyurl.com/2aztx965
