Good morning

It's okay if you're not okay

It's okay if you still can't talk about it

Let yourself recover

You are not alone

I'm glad you're here

You've got this

Good night everyone

Great job getting through another day

I'm proud of you

I'm glad you're here

I was hoping Kodansha's announcements today would include physical English Chihayafuru print editions, so I could quote the announcement and say, "Never Kill Yourself"

Then they didn't announce it :'(

Takopi's Original Sin ep 3

*spoilers*

Takopi living as Marina sheds even more light on her abusive family situation, and we also see Azuma's terrible circumstances. Takopi is finally starting to learn there are consequences to his actions, as Marina's body is uncovered.

Takopi's Original Sin ep 2

**spoilers ahead**

I cannot believe that Takopi killed Marina. The fact that the camera broke, and that Shizuka expressed gratitude to Takopi for the first time for killing Marina adds a whole new layer to the philosophical implications of the series.

I don't know the day, but my son turns 15 this month!

Can we all take a minute to celebrate my special boy?

His name is Doctor Robert Oppenheimer, but we call him Baby.

Takopi's Original Sin ep 1

There's a lot of heavy subject matter on display here, depicted in a very powerful way. The first episode made me tear up a handful of times. The animation is excellent, and it has a good soundtrack, but be ready for a challenging watch.

Good morning, everyone!

I'm not working today, and I plan to read Pet Shop of Horrors, play DK bananza, make a vegan curry, get some housework done, and rest.

Do your best today

It's okay if you're struggling

Progress is not linear

I'm glad you're here

I have challenged myself to read every manga series discussed in this book, to completion or until I feel I'm done, whichever comes first. I just finished Sailor Moon, putting me at 12% done with my goal. Below I list everything I have read so far, from least to most enjoyed, with stats. 🧵

Appreciate how the series is, for young girls and girls who grew up with it, what dragon ball was for me growing up.

I had a really good time reading it and I'm glad I saw it through to the end.

Next up; Pet shop of horrors!

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal Edition vol 10 (56-60, the secret hammer price hall, parallel sailor moon) 🧵

The conclusion of the main story was a great way to tie everything together, and I also really liked that Usagi's ultimate strength came from believing in herself. I completely see and

I think the best way to add insult to injury is to write something mean on someone's cast. Like;

Gamer confession;

I had a lot of fun with Donkey Kong Bananza, but as someone who gre up playing and loving DK 64, I do miss some of the elements from that game, like the coconut gun, and the instruments
