wishing I was there

Hey. Hey you. Yeah, you.

Stop trying to fight fascism with fat jokes. Targeting people based on weight makes you an asshole, and honestly reflects a mindset that's a lot closer to those fascists than you'd probably like to admit.

Benn doesn't need me to defend him, but I will say that if you are an independent professional involved in A\V production of any kind, Linux is not the slam dunk so many of you seem to think it is. And yeah, MS should offer this by default, but they're not going to do, so what's it going to take.

How much would you pay for a "I just want an operating system so I can work" version of Windows?

No Co-Pilot, Cortana, Edge, One Drive, Microsoft Store, To Do, Candy Crush, ads, or data collection. Your start menu will be installed programs only.

I honestly feel like $999 would be fair for this.

Witch who can't fly - Daily 999
Sketch of a half-demon magical girl in a punk-witch outfit riding on a broom while clearly alarmed. She's yelling: "I don't actually know how to fly this thing!"

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Manga/Anime Industry really hates whenever Westerners make lazy stereotype jokes about tentacle porn and prefectural laws of consent, but it keeps not helping its public image at every turn whenever there should be just an open/shut case on, “No, you don’t get to work with us anymore.”

To be clear, the quoted post is a little misleading in that Seven Seas has not announced that they are resuming translation of new volumes (on the other hand, I don't think they ever stopped selling existing volumes).
othiym23.bsky.social
on the one hand, this is a cute and good manga that has value independent of its creator's shittiness; on the other, could the manga industry (including American publishers) _please_ stop brushing pedophilia under the rug for like five seconds

ComicWalker announced it's resuming the serialization with the original author of Please Tell Me! Galko-chan following the author's arrest for admitting to possess child pornography imported from Germany in December 2021

Seven Seas publishes the manga in English

Just putting out there that anyone being a scold about people wanting to keep in touch with their friends before this all happened is getting an instant block. It doesn't seem like anyone likes the CEO here either

I like Miyuki Yorita's stories because they all look like they're going to become toxic but they never really do. Also she writes the second best disgruntled third-wheel characters in yuri (the GOAT is still Rokuroichichan).

this doesn't feel very unhinged, but IMO the best editors are YA and children's fiction editors, especially when they're working with authors who haven't gotten too big to be edited

it's just that if you'd asked me what I thought of Reed from like '89-'92, I would have rolled my eyes. I was kind of a pain in the ass.
othiym23.bsky.social
lol see

I should say that a bunch of my classmates (I went to Lincoln) did end up at Reed, and later, after I moved to the Bay Area, several Reed alumni (many of them originally from the Portland area) ended up playing signifcant roles in my life, so it's not like my take was static
othiym23.bsky.social
I completely agree about KBOO, though. A vital part of Portland's culture of resistance and also uh Portland's culture of culture. It was extremely important to me getting plugged into non-mainstream scenes in Portland.

I haven't done any research so it's quite likely I'm wrong, but it felt like stuff like the Reverse Peristalsis Painters and other creative protestors were coming out of a different tradition that didn't overlap much with Reed.
othiym23.bsky.social
You're probably right, it's just hard to let go of my late 80s / early 90s biases where it felt (to me) like Reedies seemed more interested in partying than getting involved with Earth First! or the protests against the Oregon Citizens' Alliance or the Gulf War.
