Manga reader, origami folder. Inclusion, accessibility, lgbtq pride. My day job is surrounded by books. I will try not to mention anything news for the next four years.
The thing that can clear a train car is a homeless person that smells to high heaven. I have no words. #mta #commutewoes

In the past, social media has been a place for me to randomly say my thoughts, but as I reflect it has became a place where I started to control my viewpoints and experiences. Will people unfollow me if that’s the case?

Kaiju No. 8 manga is still good. I was able to read volume 14 in 15 minutes. There’s a funny scene and then outtake.

NGL, MTA services stinks and it sucks… and the price is going to increase and all the worse things I can think about it.

Honestly speaking there really is not enough time to read! I just took more print manga home to read all the while staring at more books.

I just finished reading Yuki Hara’s Cocoon Entwined and what an ending. I was definitely enjoying this story with the relationship dynamics. The dress situation is just storytelling.

Anime NYC was last weekend and just finally having enough energy to think about my work write up.

Had a bit of a face plant this morning and scrapped my knees. Thank you kindly #animenyc and Javits for first aid. It slightly burns, but I can still walk!

I went onto Twitter today in a long while and I still have my account there. This is because I finished reading 3rd volume of Wash It All Away and it was mentioned that the mangaka has a Twitter account.

Today as it is a “non work date” my goals are JAM JAM JAM, hopefully my voice won’t give out and hopefully what I bring to get autographs will not smear. I can’t imagine glossy magazine paper and sharpie do well.

Yesterday was day 2 of AnimeNYC. It was quite busy. So much to think about specifically what I can bring back to my work. Really happy to see some of my colleagues and of course run into some old con friends! I never see them unless there is an event. T_T

Sad… I don’t want to use the OMNY. If they have a deadline for 12/31 they should still have metro card machines. Damn you @mtanyc

Walking to work this morning lots of construction and apparently a car accident with property damage. I walk in between that and a lot of police officers standing around.

Hi everyone,

As part of my dissertation, I am researching audiobook narration.

If you have listened to an audiobook within the last two years, or have previously been a frequent audiobook user, I would really appreciate your thoughts!

Back in 2018, wrote a research guide on Western/American anime fandom.

Have any suggestions on publications I should add?

Again - the focus here is scholarly articles on anime/manga fans and and what fans' activities.

An easy way to approach the presence of anime and manga in the U.S. is to think about "firsts" - the first Japanese animated film to be screened in American movie theaters, the first Japanese cartoon ...

Some context: Kodansha editor Haruko Hashimoto is accepting the award for Best Digital Comic on behalf of trans mangaka Yuna HIrasawa for her memoir My Journey to Her.
"Trans authors are a gift and how wonderful to celebrate that tonight...this 150 page ebook is waiting for you whoever you are."

Chasing after origami diagrams is like a rabbit hole for the sake of seeing a friend’s model and diagram. I found a book I would like to look at and it’s 100+ used.
