Hi hello
I just wanted to make a long overdue announcement that I've been dragging my feet on: I'm going on indefinite hiatus
Streaming was taking more of a toll on me than I realized. So I'm going to be focusing on my mental health and other avenues of entertainment

@august_anomaly Sometimes the best we can do is hold on and take care of ourselves. Do what you need to do to rest and avoid burnout
And be kind to yourself
Your health and well-being are always paramount π
I genuinely think the only way we're picking the job market back up once we've deposed the current regime is substantial universal basic income and strict rent caps
we need to enforce an affordable cost of living instead of leaving it to the market
A perfect opportunity to adapt Not so Shoujo Love Story, Mage and Demon Queen, or Muted that will undoubtedly be passed up in favor of generic action power fantasy, het RF, and exactly one (if they manage that much) BL
I would love to be proven wrong, but my faith is zero
π¨ The "Solo Leveling" Anime has Officially Opened the Gate to 20+ Massive Webtoon Adaptations, confirmed by the CEO of Line WEBTOON
All of which are Japanese TV Series & Films
Webtoon will continue to invest "aggressively" into the Japanese Animation Production Sector
@bloomfilters Yes, but that would require Naoko Yamada to depict actual lesbian relationships between grown adults instead of plausibly deniable, class-s adolescent confusion
Choosing to develop your empathy and act on it might be hard. It takes strength to hold to your ideals, especially when you're not in the line of fire, but it is necessary to lift each other up.
Empathy is the surest sign of maturity, integrity, and strength.
Empathy is presented as weakness, as naive, as childishness, but rejecting empathy is capitulating to the cruelest parts of the status quo. It's apathetic complicity to every horror our society visits on the marginalized.

Christian nationalist pastor Josh McPherson says "empathy is dangerous, empathy is toxic, empathy will align you with Hell." He also says that "women are especially vulnerable" to empathy, and that husbands should control who their wives are friends with.
Reducing the fight for trans rights to fairness in sports is not acting in good faith.
Reducing gender affirming care for minors to surgery is not acting in good faith.
They are presenting fallacious, ignorant, fairweather "allyship" as pragmatism to hide simple bigotry.
Please get involved with your local elections. Find out who's running on an actually progressive platform and do what you can to get them elected.
Petitioning, canvassing, phone banking, whatever you have the time for.
The democratic party won't change on its own.
It's so obvious that Elon keenly understands that the only people that want his company are sycophants and people interested in his money and power.
No one in his life enjoys his company. None of the cool people he respects like him or think he's funny.

Not one member of your family will give you the love and approval you crave, Elon. You'll never be good enough for them. You know that, deep down.
Your children hate you, their mothers hate you, and the world hates you.
