I’m like if “dourness” were a person. Opinions are mine. He/him/his.

FRIEND: Keith seems like he would bite a vampire and become one instead of getting bitten BY a vampire.
ME: Yeah, that’s true. That’s definitely how it would’ve happened if it did happen.
ME: Yeah, that’s true. That’s definitely how it would’ve happened if it did happen.
PERSON: You’re not tied to a desk all day now, so must be going for midday walks and stuff.
ME: Haha, yeah, I must be. I’m definitely not sleeping until noon, then laying in bed until 1:30 because I’m in shock emotionally and as I recover feel more and more anxious and depressed.

I’ve spent most of my life feeling like an inconvenience to people. That I need to apologize for existing or make myself smaller for them to take up less space.
So it’s hard to reconcile that now there are people who WANT me to take up space in their lives, to exist, and not apologize for it.

Also if youre screaming about CR and their subtitles but are silent on Amazon *dubbing an entire show* with AI then its clear you only cared because it effects your subs and not the entire anime localization sphere. A company with more money than god should not be dubbing using AI

My best friend is going to be in town the last week of December.
I’m going to hug him so hard his spine breaks and his ribcage collapses.

Reminder: If you have to see relatives or familial acquaintances that give you shit for who you are this week or during the December holidays, tell them to go eat glass.
They don’t get to shame you, say hurtful things, or devalue your humanity just because they knew you when you were younger.

A couple of years ago a former VIZ employee (who had moved on to a competitor) asked me to describe my job to him. I did, and he didn’t seem to get it.
I never knew if he was intentionally being obtuse, or just was that way, but let’s break it down now in case anyone is curious. 🧵 1/11

I watched Guillermo Del Toro’s “Frankenstein” last night. What a wonderful movie!
I wept, I related more than I thought to the Creature. Will definitely watch again.

All day I’ve felt like I want to be extremely sad or angry, but I just can’t. I’m too tense. Too anxious about the future.
Emotions keep welling up, but they can’t quite make it past the limiter that is my anxiety. And after December, I don’t know if I’ll even have a therapist to talk to.

Today is my last day at VIZ Media.
I’ve seen this coming for quite a while, so I’m not surprised. Still, it sucks, because I have no savings to fall back on (just debt).
So if anyone needs a project manager fit creative with a ton of experience, let me know.

Nah. I don’t really read light novels, but I will 100% tell people not to buy ANYTHING from ANY PUBLISHER that uses AI in any part of the process.
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?

How do you nicely phrase, “I don’t need help with chores. I need you to fucking be cognizant of how your inability to think beyond your immediate needs forces other adults to clean up your literal and figurative messes, because you seem to forget other people or consequences exist.” politely?
