At the @yenpress.com Industry Panel today at #AnimeNYC2025 !! Starting off strong with the Ryoko Kui exhibition and editor Ivan Liang’s fan club showing up!!!

Today was my mom’s birthday. I got her some flowers, chicken, and a couple gifts like yarn for her crocheting among other things… she turned 70 and I got balloons too but they started leaking before I got home 🙂‍↕️ still happy I got to celebrate with her though. We argue a lot but I love her forever🙏

As of yesterday I finished moving out from my childhood apartment into my best friend’s childhood apt (lmao) been a huge deal but I can focus a lot more on my life now that my parents’ are more settled into their retirement & healthcare routines. Thank god it’s only 3 blocks away lol, moms was MAD

Made it to Japan for the first time! I’m with my girlfriend and our hotel is Godzilla themed…

Had an amazing birthday yesterday, my gf & my besties from 1st, 5th, & 8th grades showed up to do a Jurassic themed escape room with me! We got pizza & chilled at a park afterward. Norman took an overnight bus from PA & Jorman was goin to the Switch 2 launch after!! I Love ‘em 🥹 Caught a sunset too!

Against my better judgment I redownloaded Pokemon Go 🫠. At least my happy boy is back by my side

My coworker saw my chainsawman beanie and showed me her pochita key charm! It was awesomely unexpected 😆
