This is the shirt I was wearing while recording the top 10 anime podcast for @glorioblog.bsky.social. Apocalypse Hotel is really good!
This came in the mail today. I imagine this is the complimentary shirt Yachiyo gives you when an alien guest accidentally destroys your luggage and you have nothing else to wear.
