If you are able to help support our site migration that would be amazing! I am very bad at asking for help but right now, @butwhytho.net needs it.
We have to get set up on a new host, work with a dev, and our old host still has not refunded us the $3k they took.
Anything helps!

Whew, the chapter abt Mariah's sister was so heavy, but glad she managed to make art from that pain

Wrote a piece about Martha and the Vandellas, civil rights, and their place in the history of Black women R&B groups. I also created a YouTube playlist (in the comments) with some of their hits
Mariah's song for her dad brought literal tears to my eyes youtu.be/5ITnshqgXkQ?...
That does sound delicious! Congrats again on getting married!
Excuse my nosyness, but what kind of wedding cake did y'all have?
Pleaseeeeeee Mariah release that grunge album you did. I've been waiting for a hot minute variety.com/2026/music/n...
Saying goodbye to WordPress after more than a decade, Submission deadline for The Cookout anthology, and a thought-provoking short story I read this week: www.tonyarmoore.com/p/on-the-coo...
Throughout Mariah's Carey's memoir, she quotes her own song lyrics at the start of each chapter & I'm using this to explore her discography. "Outside" is a vocal and lyrical masterpiece m.youtube.com/watch?v=KiwK...
"I also believed that somewhere inside I knew it was too late to give my siblings peace & my mother her wonderful life, but I could possibly give the world a Christmas classic instead."- Mariah Carey reminiscing on why she made a Christmas album
Mariah Carey's memoir has sure surprised me in its early chapters. She grew up in a violent family household & couldn't have a truly happy Christmas unless she stayed w her gay uncles b/c her mother & siblings didn't get along. Bless Mariah for surviving all that.
I was impressed by the amount of fiction and non-fiction books but found their comic book section disappointing. When I return my books, gonna go to a different library since at least one book I want is at a closer library
For people wondering about the background restoration (especially these days) I found an older interview with the engineer talking about his process: judygarlandnews.com/2019/03/04/i...
I wish they'd reprint the manga like they did with Phantom Thief Jeanne so I could read it.
...Does Phantom Thief Jeanne count? She's not Catholic but she is blessed by God
Finally went to a local VA library & got Mariah Carey's memoir & a history of the revolutionary impact of Black-owned bookstores by Char Adams
Off, b/c I was raised by a Vietnamese mom & a Black dad. Even my sister doesn't allow any shoes on in the house, esp. on the carpet.
This might be the first time I've ever had good timing for Mystic Artes in Tales of Beseria
This was one of my favorite comics to write about last year & still think more people shoud read it. It's an awesome sci-fi adventure through the lens of Black historical figures
Phone selfie of me smiling on the beach, with a bright blue sky and soft afternoon lighting. I have lavender hair cut short like I’m in a K-pop boy group, oversized sunglasses, and I’m wearing an oversized cardigan.
Illustrated album cover for aivi & surasshu’s album, “Meanwhile” by Genie Liang. A robot and short-haired, feminine-leaning person look to the horizon together, side-by-side. The artwork has windy, flowy lines, and airy pastel colors.
Album artwork for the Steven Universe Future soundtrack: a painting of a bend in a mountain highway at night, with a shimmering ocean and the Crystal Gems’ Temple in the background. Steven’s lone car drives away from home.
Photo of me performing on a keyboard at DNA Lounge in San Francisco, taken by Kyle de la Calzada. I’m wearing a face mask and casual, airy clothing, kind of like a fairy in jeans.
hi bsky 2026 🩵
i’m aivi (they/them), a vietnamese-american composer.
i mainly make music with the band @aivisura.com. we composed the instrumental soundtrack for steven universe, a witchy game called ikenfell, and now we’re composing music for the games way to the woods & cartomantic!
I need $70 tonight for groceries.
a shot from Kamen Rider Zeztz: an adult man and adult woman are talking to a teenage girl holding a cat. Above them, a bright dot of reddish-orange light flares in the sky.
imagine finding your neighbour's lost cat and your karmic reward is that you are immediately struck by a meteor
Picked up Kamen Rider Zeztz from where I left off a while back & I'm genuinely surprised I remembered the episode number I was on (14)
"What I love about BookWalker is the great potential of growth."

Thanks for featuring my video game poetry again y'all
A month late to this but Mosq finally released his Persona 3 Portable Femc remix EP & I'm excited to download it & the original song "Moonlight Daydream". I like his remixes better than the original Persona 3 Portable track mosqmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-re...
It's 91 degrees out. Definitely bringing my water bottle if I go for a walk later.
