i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

I wasn’t aware of this. Also, there’ve been black and white panels that have initially confused me because Kanon’s hair was rendered as white for some reason.

When reading the (black and white) manga, it’s often easy to forget that Saki’s hair is supposed to be brown.

Even better, the unhinging makes an audible scraping and grinding sound with every articulate. Such is the way in the shared universe of the Chess Children.

Are "Supermarket music" and "Walgreens music" the same category? I think there's a subtle textural difference. Just now I was sitting in a pharmacy on hold with a doctor with Drugstore Music blasting in one ear and Hold Music blasting in the other. Like a high concept plunderphonics noise piece

I don't know which was first, but Ghostbusters (Library Ghost) and Indiana Jones: Last Crusade (the skeleton Nazi at the end) both terrified me as a kid, something about skeletonization just creeped me way out.

On another note, when I was maybe five or six, my babysitter and I watched The Shining on a regular basis, but it didn’t scare me at all. It was one of my favorite movies to watch with her.

“Be sure and tell ‘em ‘Large Marge sent ya!’” The jump scare gave me nightmares. Also, I was already scared of riding in cars and the possibility of traffic accidents. Pretty intense for an otherwise benign movie.

Gun’s fine. Also, I tend to play non-lethal, do I’m more likely to hit people with it than actually shoot them.

While playing Cyberpunk 2077, I managed to loot the Foxhound from an airdrop. Anyone who actually knows how weirdly rare the designers made this thing might understand why I feel compelled to use it for the rest of the game.

GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.

this is so often ignored by cis people debating amongst themselves about if trans people are a little *too* touchy. Most of you don't know what it's like to have your entire existence politicized and weaponized or what toll it takes on us.

Yvette & the Nylsparrow
A dark brown-haired woman peers down from a slightly elevated position as a four-winged sparrow flies in front of her face, lining its eye up so that both of their pupils are level. Yvette, the woman, wears a fancy hat with a big green feather and has olive green eyes. She is wearing a navy Ithosian coat and has lace and pearls beneath. She's standing in some sort of nebulous space because the artist got lazy.

Angelique was the first dating sim I ever played, and I was already hooked. Next came a game based on a shōjo romance anime whose name eludes me, then finally I stumbled upon Tokimeki. None of these were in English (nor are they still, officially, as far as I know).

I think of the recent attempts to use the term “birthing person” in clinical settings. It’s super awkward, but being inclusive is the right thing to do. English doesn’t offer many easy options, but I’d like to think someone will come up with something better soon. That or we’ll just get used to it.

Jae Synthia @jaecynthia.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Of course. But that applies to deliberate attempts to shift language in general. It’s almost always awkward, and unless important institutions or large swaths if the population adopt and maintain such usages, they rarely stick. In fact, most first efforts get replaced with something else eventually.

Yeah, every native Spanish speaker I knew back when ‘latinx’ was gaining momentum pronounced it ‘latine’ all along, so I’ve always wondered if that was a language-barrier misconception when people started pronouncing the X like an English X.

I mean, as a noun, alternatives to ‘dude’ are ‘girl/gurl’, ‘chick’, “that person”, etc. As an interjection, you have to get more creative.

Jae Synthia @jaecynthia.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
And while I know “you guys” used to be particularly predominant in some parts of the U.S., it’s basically used everywhere now. I think the only people who get caught in the weeds about it are gender and language nerds (myself included) or people who have sensitivities about being misgendered.
