    OK I'm caught up and this is way more than a nostalgia trip. Reuben tackles politics, race, and gender identity in a modern anime con setting.

    .'s writing really captures that wide-eyed youthful congoer experience, but the current storyline focusing on the NB protag's fav voice actor might change that...

    In lieu of going to actual cons, I've been reading Con Job. They're about 20 subscribers short of their goal, so if you like it, consider subscribing:

    My thoughts on Sad Girl Hours with Tohru:

    [Review] Tohru's crying, Kureno's crying, maybe you're crying too. It's the first episode of the final season of Fruits Basket, aptly titled Fruits Basket the Final, but it's already reached breakdown levels of emotional suffering.

    (The correct takeaway from this tweet is I'd be fine risking my life for Fruits Basket tea just not the regular kind)

    Drove to Kung Fu Teas without checking when the Fruits Basket promotion starts (April 1). That was my first time in a store in a year. Can't believe I risked my life for regular bubble tea.

    Fruits Basket Final Season is live! I can't believe it's already here. There's a special section at the end with the English voice actors sharing their favorite scenes.

    Stop the casually racist jokes, interlaced with sexism and sexual violence, that are made at the expense of Asian women who work in places like massage parlors and nail salons. These jokes are not harmless. Dehumanization leads to violence.

    the fact that the news coverage won’t name the anti asian hate and the misogyny, leaves this headline in the passive tense instead of calling out the white man for his domestic terrorism... it makes me so deeply upset and furious.
