On July 28, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Over the past week, 38 people have lost their lives, and 8,200 have been evacuated. YutaONE doesn’t have funds, but we do have fonts. We are making a donation. As part of that effort, we have released a new font.

could we get some movement on this, I know we don't all have a lot of money but if we repost it, someone who does might be able to spare some and it's needed badly

also a big problem that i see rarely discussed is that a lot of jp artists are fucking sick of overseas users and poor online etiquette, and chose the more exclusive and policy-libertarian misskey over bsky.

yknow what would be cute? some kind of thing where we swap notebooks we only kind of used a little periodically, so you end up making all these little exquisite corpse books out of many people's "write it and forget about it" kind of notes without accruing stacks of notebooks you only used twice

Alan Au@alanau.bsky.social · 2d ago

*stares at my collection of mostly unused cute notebooks* 😭

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

Please help out if you can!

Fucked up robot lesbian@machinelesbian.bsky.social · 6d ago

So my living situation is incredibly dire with loss of a room mate who was abusing me and the sudden court proceedings I'm needing to take to find a safe place to live. I don't know if I'll be housed in the coming days and am already not eating consistent meals. Please help!!! gofund.me/f826faff6

mmmm yes.... obtaining a new and cute little notebook will cure me of my mental illness and turn me into a shark eyed type a productivity megafucker... the last several cute new notebooks didn't, but this one will be different, surely.

The interview is actually quite interesting and not at all like this. Feels like ragebait.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Hi hi, have a SM manga interview wherein I spoke with mangaka Zawayuki Taki (@zwzwyk.bsky.social) about @mangamavericks.bsky.social's upcoming English localization of the romance series, shibari, and how everyone could do with discussing and enjoying eroticism like any other creature comfort.

"Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?" is a line so perfect I was sure it had to be quoting someone, or paraphrasing. A search around and... I think it just might be a Chiitan original. God damn.

Chiitan🌈ちぃたん☆@chiitan.love · 4d ago

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

this is why I’ve been such a jerk about Europe figuring out how to do AC by the way. I am sure it is difficult. but a WPA style project is necessary

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
