Ohh I can’t wait to read!

RIP to my dumpling squishy that I kept at my previous job. That got me through many deadlines and boring meetings. 😫

Let’s see what random squishy I can find as a replacement.

Actually this has been me without my laptop. I’ve been baking up some polymer clay cookie charms to gift at Miku Expo.

Some will become pins and maybe some will be hair clips. I need to finish making the rest after work today.

Kodansha will debut its Kodansha House event in Los Angeles during Anime Expo, running from July 2 to July 5, 2026!

This has been me since I don’t have a laptop. 😫

Love Through a Prism has given me one of the worst cases of second male lead syndrome. 😭

I loved the series though. 🥹

I’ve been watching Love Through a Prism while working on my nails. I’m trying not to cry during the scene where Lily tells Dorothy that wherever they are she’ll always be her best friend because they’ll always be under the same sky. 🤧

The manga reading went out the window when I remembered that I really wanted MEIKO nails for Miku Expo. They’re still a work in progress.

My respect to all the nail artists! It is not easy to paint on such a tiny surface.

You’re welcome! I truly hope they add the damn toggle. 😭 I told them that I don’t physically have the time to go back through thousands of videos and individually turn the toggle off. It’s unrealistic for those of us who have been posting for 6 years. 😒

Starting my morning eating nopales and frijoles. The breakfast of champions that want to spend all day reading manga! 😎

Never mind… there are still a ton of songs still region locked! 😫

Where are these?!?

Literally who asked for this other than the company execs wanting more money in their pockets???

Yessss!!!! Finally! All the Utapri songs are available to stream. 😭😭🙌🏻

I went to Help Center and then “chat with us.” Usually there’s a long line of people, so I opt to submit a ticket but I was able to get matched with an agent right away. I was able to let them know that I was upset and really want a toggle to be added to disable it to every upload.

Consider submitting a ticket to hopefully convince the platform to add a toggle for your whole account. Otherwise you have to go through every single video (both public and private) and individually turn off AI remixing.

For people that post on TikTok, I’m sure you’ve heard that TikTok automatically opted everyone in to allow every video you’re ever posted to “allow AI to remix content.”

Unlike the “Allow reuse of content” which you can toggle off and on for your account, you can’t do the same for this AI thing

Dropped off my laptop at Apple and they told me it would be 7-10 days to replace the battery. 😭 I wish they just sold the battery and I could have done it myself.

I’m going to try to still post on Substack but I kind of don’t like the app, as much as the publishing portal on desktop.

Vol 1 of #DrawingFromYourMemory is now available in print & digital!

Award-winning pro Mahoro stole the ideas for her manga from the notebook her classmate Yukishima left behind when he died... but fate might just give her an opportunity at redemption!

It makes me so sad to see women just give up on life and feel like they've let themselves and others down.

I knew Emi's story would make me cry once I saw it animated and it did. The girl who was admired by her childhood friend and attended Awajima on a scholarship, only for her dream school to become her worst nightmare.

Kirio Fan Club is just so damn unhinged. 😭 I haven't laughed this music watching anime in a while.

I'm going to end up with a folder full of Aimi reactions.

My last two braincells.

Anime: Kirio Fan Club

Time for Kirio Fan Cluuuuuuub!

MANGA REVIEW: My Journey to Her The inspirational must-read

NEW POST- Reviewing the 2025 Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic. Yuna Hirasawa's journey to living her most authentic life as a trans woman was nothing short of inspiring. This is a must-read for everyone!

Ohhhh I'll have to check it out. I'll give it a chance.

Omg lucky! The medium sized ones are always so tricky to win. I will have to check out another location and see if they have MEIKO.

Oh no. Maybe I'll just check out the first two episodes tomorrow and see if I vibe with the series.

Spoiler alert: this is all they had! 😭 staff has no idea when they’ll receive the other plushies in any of the sizes. They also still don’t have the food and drink options, no coasters, and no cup.

I drove for nothing. 😫 At least I got to practice playing Maimai, I’m determined to get better at it
