Apologies in advance, but I can't afford to feel bad about it. It is time for the big push for my book KAIBYO THE SUPERNATURAL CATS OF JAPAN. Preorders this month will make or break not only the success of the book, but my future books with the publisher. Please buy link.amazon/B0d6PY7Gv

I don't take tips on virtue from a man who used a pic of his stillborn child for a GoFundMe campaign for his children's burial garden named "Lincoln’s Place" when the project was never built, and Ogles repeatedly refused to disclose what happened to the tens of thousands of dollars donated.

I've found that the struggle with loan words usually hits around the intermediate stage. They've learned how to pronounce a word they already know in their acquired language and internalize that as "correct" instead of "different" But "correct" is the pronunciation of the language you're speaking

This is an issue with language learners at an early stage. They fail to understand the concept of loan words and pronunciation. Sake is an English word. It is pronounced "sah-key" and means brewed Japanese rice wine 酒 is a Japanese word. It is pronounced "sah-kay" and is a general word for alcohol

100% agree with SungWon. If you come at me saying the Japanese title of something that has an English title, I'm gonna stick your face in the toilet and flush it. Enjoy anime. Don't be a fucking weeb.

Jet@jet0.bsky.social · 4d ago

This "fucking weebs" genre of elitism is so silly. Why should the English version of titles be the standard? Why should MAL use the English names for anime by default? He doesn't even provide a good reason for this stance.

"Mizuki refused to let all of that suffering and all of those who died be forgotten as an inconvenient guilty past of a nation looking towards the future. Showa: A History of Japan was his testimony. And his condemnation."

I got asked to write for Global Literature in Libraries for their #worldkidlit Month and I wrote on--surprise!!!--Shigeru Mizuki! @dandq.bsky.social glli-us.org/2026/09/28/w...

Wild to see a video of fish reacting to the earthquake yesterday! Thanks @ptdefiancezoo.bsky.social! How did YOU react? Did you Drop, Cover, and Hold On?

A little unexpected shake-up in Tacoma today! During today’s 4.2 magnitude earthquake, some of our aquarium animals were briefly startled, but everyone is safe and doing well. Most guests and staff didn’t feel the earthquake at all.

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
