Hockey fan, romance reader, middle-aged nerd. Currently obsessed with anime and manga.
- Can I please just have a yuri about women who want to have sex with each other without it being porn or some kind of sexual dysfunction plot point? Just give me some grown up romance with two people who want to hook up with each other.
- I keep picking up manhwa series just as they go on hiatus between seasons, and it's making me itchy. I want to keep reading.
- I live near a busy park, so I've heard a variety over the years: * Turkey in the Straw - A popular classic. * Fur Elise - Unusual, but pleasant. * Multi-song medley w/a voice yelling "Hello?!" - Supremely irritating. * La Cucaracha - Only truck that plays this comes by at night. Horror movie shit.
- Stop ruining good manga with bad lettering. It's such a waste.
- TFW your mom ships your boyfriend with your brother, and he's kinda into it.
- This is like the sixth yuri anime announcement this year. I don't want to hear any whining from yuri fans about BL licenses on Seven Seas licensing posts for the foreseeable future. You guys are just gonna have to comfort yourselves with all the anime adaptations.
- I'm reading the @yenpress.com release of Semantic Error, and I'm still kinda new to the manhwa scene, but translating hyung as "big bro" feel super wrong. It takes me out of the story every time. They need to drop these boomer editorial guidelines for words well used by overseas fans.
- Getting older and more disabled has taught me that nurses come in two models: * Helpful, courteous, and efficient healthcare professional * Power tripping petty tyrant eager to make your life miserable
- Reposted by RidleyMA folks: Call your mayor, your city council, your state rep, your congresspeople, and Governor Healey and ask them what their plan is to keep Mass residents safe. This threatens *everyone's* civil rights. Find all their #s at reps.fyi.
- “ICE can't claim to be protecting the privacy of immigrants while kicking down doors and smashing car windows,” she said. “And ICE is quick to reveal personal data when it suits their interest.” www.wbur.org/news/2025/05...
- The country's healthcare system is being run by the people who walk backwards into you at Whole Foods.
- The latest pick for Surgeon General seems to echo the New Thought movement. 🗃️ “Perhaps the body is simply the material ‘radio receiver’ through which we can ‘tune in’ to the divine." “Humans are out of alignment with the Earth and depleting its life force." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
- Shutline is enjoyable for sure, but you absolutely cannot sweat any of the details. The second you try to make the setting or action make sense, the whole thing is going to fall apart at the seams.
- Make friends with your neighbors. Especially the older ones. They have the best gossip.
- Man, making peace with omegaverse has unlocked a whole new world of interesting BL stories. Reminds me of the Achewood comic where Taco Bell has a secret menu for breast men. achewood.com/2007/02/22/t...
- Oh Jesus, Blue Flag volume 7, did you really have to go there?
- My two manhwa updates today are The Edge of Ambiguity and The Hounds of Sisyphus, and I hope I don't cut myself on all that edge.
- If I were her, I'd never write anything for a newspaper ever again for any amount of money. if she does decide to write something, I hope everyone acknowledges the incredible bravery that would take.
- Also have to chuckle at Rebecca writing "It's not going to convince you to like the genre if you never have before" in her review for How to Deal When Your Intimidating Neighbor is Actually an Omega, because it actually did do that to me. I have been on an omegaverse binge since I read it, lol.

- Reposted by RidleyLibrary Anime Clubs largely depended on Crunchyroll's Outreach Program and now they've taken that away too. Yet another indefensible, unforced error from CR.
- What benefit is there to Crunchyroll to cut off libraries? In this political climate, it's a pretty awful PR choice and yet another way of booting the medium's target demo. Anime fans start young and they don't have credit cards. www.reddit.com/r/librarians...
- Some good stuff in here, but seeing both reviewers tear up a Niyama BL hurt my feelings. (also, it's 2025, can we please stop explaining what omegaverse is at the beginning of reviews or the books themselves)

- Incredible to do a take like this on this website. Free soloing a cliff face would be safer.
- The only thing worse than a favorite manga never getting an anime adaptation is your favorite anime getting an anime adaptation handled by a third-rate studio. RIP In the Clear Moonlit Dusk. You deserved better.
- Reposted by RidleyI went to the park to film some water textures with a fancy ultra slomo camera, but got distracted by ducks, so here is some very wholesome content of ducklings having a great time chasing lil bugs in extreme 900fps slow motion:
- No shoujosei, no BL, no interest.
