While I write about the sociology of affect, I am driven by mad emotions to write a litany about why KyoSato is driving me insane and they occupy every emotion that I have.
Ignore me. I just bought new KyoSato dojinshi this week and I am now spiralling through a reread of the series.

I've been quite disillusioned with my ruined main twitter algorithm but today the algo threw me this kind of exodus where some BL fans are switching to blogs to get away from the toxicity of the TL.
That kind of brought me back to a period when I had fun with my blog, just yapping about manga.

I feel my eyebrow twitch when I see journalists write "This replacement for MangaX" and in my head, how can MangaX be ever replaced? Let alone by a title from another magazine?
