For no reason in particular (I’m tired of orientalism), I’m reposting my Tenmaku no Jadoogar: A Witch’s Life In Mongol post again 🪬

Aside from story summary, I talk about misconceptions about religion and why the “Middle East” is a colonizer term we should phase out-links below

Freelance friends, advice apropos of nothing: When negotiating a rate for a job, the best thing is to let the client say a number first. It will often be higher than what you would've put forward bc we almost always undervalue ourselves.

I'm actually cryinggg this is a peak shia Muslim joke LMAOOO
Folks, Zohran Mamdani—smart guy, reminds me of a young me—you know what he said, I told him, “Zohran, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna say the shahada,” and he said to me “Mr. President, you should say a third line confirming your belief in the wilayat of Ali,” should we do it folks? Should we say it?

Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone will have Always Been Against This has won the National Book Award. This is a deserving, necessary win. His words need to be on all of our minds and in all of our hearts.

"When it mattered, who sided with justice and who sided with power?"

アーティストと戦争責任について真正面から描いた作品。すべての表現者に読んでほしい…!!!!!!

今はまだ自由に表現できていても、抗えなくなるのはきっと一瞬。そんな未来が二度と来ないために、物語や作品が必要なのだと思う。今年の近美の企画が刺さった人は超おすすめです🎨

あまり語られない京都の空襲を描いているのも重要なことだと思うし、巻末で朝鮮人徴兵と戦後の補償のなさについても触れていたり、これがメジャー誌で描かれたことの意味は大きいと感じます。

今年の私のマストバイ漫画です。
みんな読んでくれ〜〜〜〜!!!💥

She could have made a gender reversal story but she went deeper and wrote about how things might not change for women even if they become primary providers and made the readers feel bad for all of the men in the story too. So much suffering one after the other. This is Feminist Literature
Peak! PEAK!!! This could've been a "girls rule and boys drool" kind of story, but it's not at all. It's incredibly nuanced and so smart.

FUMI YOSHINAGA YOUR MIND!!! I want to examine her brain under a microscope. An all time fav and I can't recommend it enough.

Update: after a few days, the only copy left on the trending shelf is the sample copy. And they restocked the subculture/indie shelf, where it’s also being promoted :) you can’t really see in the pic but they put out a big stack going to the back of the shelf.
