Streaming is not believing, believing is streaming.
HeartsDesires. FINALLY.
The new single by DJSTTDJ.
Out now on all good, bad and truly evil streaming platforms.
Spines of various books about Japanese literature and social issues, including the book “That Type of Girl” (about the manga “Sweet Blue Flowers”) and its Japanese translation. (The title of the book is based on a line from the manga.)
Whew… I was worried for a minute but it looks like I dodged that particular bullet (only to catch others, I’m sure).
@galetteweb.bsky.social has done a wonderful job of building an international fan base for its releases. I’m looking forward to Galette EN volume 5 and beyond!
For the next two days, if you support Yuricon and Okazu on Patreon or Ko-fi, your support is doubled!
A few dollars from our followers would set us up for a whole year of reporting on Yuri news and publishing reviews!

I’ve been migrating away from 1Password for a while. I have till November to finish it before renewal time
For Publishers Weekly, I got to write about one of my favorite comics trends: manga for older readers. Like me!

Well, I read it, at least, and found it interesting.
I'm happy to contribute in a small way to the mythos. Let me take the opportunity again to thank you for writing these stories, they're such tremendous fun, and make me want to visit their sources. I look forward to the compilation, and will then write a review (positive, of course) on my blog.
This reminds me: Didn't you (or the "translator" :-) once apologize for the obvious fiction that Morgan and the other Hounds would have access to gasoline? Not fiction at all: phys.org/news/2021-09... Capture CO2 from Martian atmosphere, convert to methane, refine methane to gasoline. Drink up!
I (finally) finished Calculus II (my 6th #MathAcademy course) and wrote my usual update post on the experience: frankhecker.com/2026/02/08/m.... Among other things, I have some thoughts for other Math Academy students about "review hell".
With all sincerity, thank you to @yenpress.com, Kinokuniya USA, Enoch's in NYC and everyone in the Yuri community for making today a fantastic day! I loved meeting so many fantastic Yurijin. ^_^
Thanks for linking to ixi. I was/am a major BoC fan and these videos are quite fun.

My newest article is now online. I'm really happy that I had a chance to talk about several great manga series that resonated with me, and my experiences of feeling pressured to socially mask as an autistic person. #MyWriting #Neurodivergence
Background: I'm 96% of the way through the Math Academy course Calculus II, which will be the 6th MA course I've completed in a bit more than a year. (The others are Mathematical Foundations II and III, Mathematics for Machine Learning, Linear Algebra, and Calculus I.) 20,001 XP = ~400 hours of work
Screenshot from the Math Academy service. The student has earned a total of 20,001 XP (experience points) since initially enrolling in the service. Today they earned 32 XP out of a goal of 40 XP per day.

If you use a Mac, be sure to not let it update to macOS 26 Tahoe. From all reports you’ll hate it even more. I’m going to try to postpone macOS updates until macOS 27 (assuming that they fix the worst aspects of Tahoe)
Honestly one of the best series I’ve watched in the last few years.
If you're an undergraduate or recent graduate, this is a great opportunity to promote and help influence the future of physics education. open.substack.com/pub/chrissut...
"[PhysicsGraph] has the technology (and it’s not AI btw) to offer what is essentially a one-on-one tutor to every student through an all-encompassing mastery learning system equipped with a spaced repetition system (...carefully designed reminders of lessons and exercises that you’ve already done)."
"The first real goal of the [PhysicsGraph] platform is to increase the number of students taking and succeeding on the AP Physics 1 test. ... not all students can afford the one on one physics tutor, or the incredibly expensive test prep offerings like Princeton Review."

You might want to consider The Crying of Lot 49 as a throwback to when Pynchon wrote at shorter length (and it’s quite fun in any case)
A promotional poster for the Thai yuri prison drama ClaireBell, showing the two main characters on a bunk bed in their cell, dressed in their mint green prison uniforms. Claire, in the upper bed, is handing a red rose to Bell, in the lower bed.
Too few people are posting here in English about #ClaireBell, so here's my contribution to promoting what I consider one of the best, if not the best, Thai #yuri / #GL series yet: my review of the series for Okazu: okazu.yuricon.com/2025/12/22/c... #yurisky
