Bought this Wicked blanket at the theater and I genuinely love it—super soft, kept me warm and cozy during the movie when I started to get cold—but it wasn’t until I got home that I realized how comically, terribly pixilated it is

If you're a cis person who has the financial ability and/or in position of power, I recommend you to exercise your privileges and give direct support to trans people and/or hire trans people because awareness isn't enough. Thanks! 😊✨

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.
As machine translation tools under the banner of AI become increasingly accessible and easy to use, the light novel landscape is at a crossroads. Do light novel publishers compromise their product for more speed, and if so, by how much?
Does the Light Novel Translation Process Need AI?

Losing my voice before voice acting: Ah man, this sucks, guess I can’t yap as much :/
Losing my voice as a voice actor: This is the end of my career as I know it. I will never be able to audition for/record anything for the rest of my life. When will my voice return from war.

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful
In particular Aneesh Bhoopathy, from the design coop Forge, who designed the identity. A brilliant reminder to *employ human creatives!*

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Attack on Titan Beyond the Walls World Tour at Carnegie Hall was too phenomenal for words. AOT will always be my favorite series of all time, and I’m so thankful I got to spend the afternoon enjoying the music from the series with the folks who made it happen in a sold out venue full of fellow fans.
