Haven't been online for a good while because mental health and I will probably continue being off for a while, but I tried to follow some of you new followers back. Take care people and remember, social media can really damage your mental health and taking breaks is totally fine!

ALERT! It's that time of year again where there are meds that make you more prone to overheating (and more), which people aren't aware of. Many anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, as well as meds unrelated to mental health medicines, impair your response to heat.

Dolly Parton has done such unquestionable good on this Earth that if tomorrow she requested a one-woman Purge holiday, I'd support the request. Yes, even if she came for me.

Anime journey update: On Demon Slayer season 5, episode 4 (the newest episode) Had to replay Tokitos reaction to seeing Tanjiro because that was SO PRECIOUS. I love him, and them, so much 😭😭😭

Agreed. I think the Cinematic Univerisification of every property has done real harm to storytelling in the big screen and I'm ready for the next phase: Don't build me a world, build me a *folklore*. A *mythos*. Like the cults of ancient Greece, tell me a hundred conflicting stories true in spirit.

I need a certain sector of folks to understand something super important: Most of us don't wake up each day hoping to meet new people and argue with them. Many of us don't even enjoy arguing with people we know and love. If you come on social media to debate, expect many people to want to avoid you.

Buddy Daddies LOVED IT. The characters, the character development in every character, and a good ending. The LO-FI outro song sung by Rei papa & Kazuki papa's voice actors is wonderful: 🧵

Sk8 the Infinity I watched it dubbed and from what I've read, they played up the flirtiness which I loved lol. I love all the characters, having cannon queer character was great, and no one can convince me that Reki isn't bi, because he has so much bi energy. 🧵

Attack on Titan Perfect. Loved it so much. Got obsessed with everything related to it, which was bad, but still, I regret nothing. Music was SO GOOD. Am reading the manga because I loved it so much. 🧵

Anime journey update: I've watched 50+ different ones now, 3 months after watching the first Attack on Titan episode. I'm really enjoying watching many shorter shows and how it makes it harder for my brain to get obsessed with it 🙌🏻

Also: let it be known that I *love* when artists share not only their work on social media but some insight into how they made it or what their thought process was. This is something AI cannot do, and it helps communicate the humanity of your artistry. Write me a paragraph. I'll read it!

Over 1 hour early to my psychiatrist appointment, and I realised it after sitting down. I have no book or really anything to occupy myself with except my phone. At least I brought my power bank. I hate this.

The power of languages. I can take an English word and use it in a Swedish sentence, by just making it make sense grammatically. Just did with the word "clean" by changing it to "cleana", and boom, it works. That is the true power of speaking multiple languages.

Went on a local radio today (now for a third time) to talk about the result of the vote on a new gender identity law. NERVE-WRACKING. BUT the result was a great win for the Swedish trans community & I'm happy I got to talk about something positive 🎉 234 voting yes and 94 voting no, is HUGE!

I never really notice how many comments I leave when editing, until I keep getting notifications from Google on how many comments have been solved... I woke up to 136 comments being solved, which is *some* of them! And those are also *my* comments, there are comments from 2 other editors as well.

I've only read the first 20 pages of Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton but it's already one of the wildest - if not *the* wildest - things I've read, in ALL the best ways. Holy shit. This is gonna be a wild ride.

Honestly this! I'm so tired of people who think I care and who try so hard to give me every reason they can think of to make themselves feel better. Just leave me out of it??

I have weird little goblins living in my brain and I endorse this message.

The story you write for a "wide audience" will be trammeled by your own (incorrect) belief in the existence of normal people. The story you write for the weird little goblin who lives inside your brain will grow wings because the world is full of weird little goblins

Went on a local radio today (for a second time), you know, live and all, and it really is nerve-wracking, BUT it went well. I had a chance to give my thoughts and whatnot on a trans related law that's being voted on soon, so that's something.

Weird thing, but anime has really been a great way for me to enjoy media again because live-action shows and whatnot just hasn't been doing it lately. Big thanks to my partner's colleagues that got her into it, and her then getting me into it.
