Now seems like a very good time to be writing to the Ds you donate to or who represent you and telling them how weak, cowardly, and ineffective they look when they cower before R attacks on the trans community.

They are supposed to lead the fight, not run from the bully.

I agree in principle that the best way to improve educational outcomes is to fix the social problems in the community. Freddie DeBoer (I know, I know) has a ton of writing to this effect. But we need to be honest about the scale and scope of those changes. That housing would take a decade to build.

community is asking a random person on the train how to spell onomatopoeia because you can't guess enough for the autocorrect to figure it out while writing a book review and that random person just happening to be a kindergarten teacher. how did you dismantle facism today

I think if someone made fun of my first oc in the writing community I was in, especially in the same way that other person I'm mentioning was, I would've stopped writing. I would've never met most of my best friends.

And that's genuinely horrifying.

a lot of the anipoke community hates horizons because it doesn’t have ash in it. that’s dumb. you should hate it because its writing, characters and animation are all terrible and because one of the side characters was originally gay but got straightwashed because of pokemon’s edsheeranist cowardice

Fascinating interview. In older interviews I've read, Takako Shimura hadn't mentioned personal struggles with gender identity as a motivation for writing Wandering Son. Really puts the story in a different perspective.

www.animenewsnetwork.com/interview/20...
In the English-speaking manga community, your works are particularly highly regarded for their yuri and LGBTQ themes. What first inspired you to start creating these kinds of characters and stories? Shimura: It all started because my own gender identity was ambiguous. For a long time, I couldn't accept my own femininity. Then, one day, I thought, “What if I created some characters based on my own thoughts at that time and drew a manga with them as the focus?” Since the beginning of the 21st century, social awareness of LGBTQ people has changed significantly. Along with this, the market for manga with LGBTQ themes has also grown, particularly in the United States. Have these changes influenced what you depict in your works or the way you think about these themes? Shimura: I think they have. I've started to think about responsibility more deeply and seriously than I used to, and I've come to fear that my insistence on my own way of thinking could become a one-sided imposition and crush someone's spirit. In my twenties, even though I was already an adult, I was still on the receiving end of what was given to me by "adult society," and I could refuse or rebel against it. But as I've gotten older and become an adult myself, I worry that I could always become a source of pressure and burden for the younger generation.

I'm not interested in policing parenting, generally. I am deeply concerned with how AI is being used to diminish the very things that make us human: art, music, writing, connection, community.

Plenty of respected leaders on protection of clean water, endangered species, and public participation are writing up their critiques, so i'll defer. I'll only add here that the clean energy industry doesn't help itself in its quest to build much-needed community support by pushing these rollbacks.
