Took me a while to be ready to write this, but here's my post about Matt. I still can't fully believe he's gone.

Manga friends: I'm going to try to make some kind of memorial for Matt Haasch. If you have stories, photos, or any words of appreciation you want to share, please let me know. DMs are open.

If there's anyone doing something similar already please also let me know and we can pool our efforts.

Sometimes the only way I can keep getting up everyday, what with the country and world being how it is right now, is because all I can do is put nice things into the world. And if that's just well localized manga that people enjoy...well, then I can get up tomorrow too.

the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production

💜ASEXUAL IS QUEER💜

Ace authors. Ace women. Ace characters. Ace horror.

We're often not considered queer enough to be labeled LGBTQ+. We're often passed up when people are considering LGBTQ+ reads.

We have voices and we'd like to be heard.

Consider these upcoming ace horror offerings this fall.

The most sobering yet important panel I attended all weekend of Anime NYC was one on censorship, both "hard censorship" and "soft censorship," with discussions of our current political climate along with why US publishers might decide the things that they do.

Lettering pays poorly. I work a full-time office job to support my passion of lettering manga. I don't dislike AI localization because I see it as a threat to my livelihood, I dislike it because it is profane. An essential aspect of the job is respecting the work of the artist and writer.

For example: If an industry-heavy anime con wants to talk about, say, fansubs, and scanlations, they should get an actual historian of the medium to discuss it so they can frame it properly.

Or better yet, shelve that idea and get actual translators to talk theory and industry, which is more useful

28. Industry-centric events shouldn't be prioritizing upbeat conversations about piracy and illicit distribution over expert-led panels.

Yeah, sure, why not?

0. Generative AI is, was, and always will be incurious, wildly inaccurate slop built on the stolen work of actual humans. There's no ethical way to use it, like, at all.

hey @animenyc.bsky.social — this panel is so disrespectful to all of the manga localization professionals going to the con. can you please clarify the wording to let all of us know you’re not actively endorsing unauthorized distribution?

I want to put together a piece on how AI is inserting its dirty little claws into manga translation and localization. If any translators who work in the industry want to take part, give me a shout via DM and we can chat.
