I can official say that as of today, I’ve made a significant payment towards what I owe on rent and I’ve got a lot of second interviews. What’s not secure? My ability to stay housed for the rest of 2026, which is why my GFM will remain ongoing as I work toward securing my housing into 2027.

Kei Suezawa directing (and fully writing!) a series with a high ceiling is great to see, and Naoyuki Asano's rendering of the characters is unsurprisingly great & likely assuages the pain of introducing disconnected linework to animation. Shout-out to art director Mika Nishimura too, of course

The upcoming Hirayasumi anime is a beauty, in a way that perfectly captures its appeal. Backgrounds fade to white but without introducing surreality, comfortable linework in all layers so that a lot of detail can still come together into a relaxed screen. Lived-in and chill, like it should be

Even among fairy tale princesses, The Little Mermaid is a romantic among romantics, yearning for an idealized love in a different world. Sayonara Lara takes that idea and runs with it: of course she'd crush catastrophically bad for a handsome girl the second that she casually says she likes her

Ikoku Nikki can excel "just" by observing society. Of course, that's only within its reach because it cares about all sorts of people in the first place, because it can give shape to an incredibly diverse craft through their grounded routines, and because its occasional abstraction hits that hard

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers
Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there.

It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers.

An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest.

The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

Been reading this series & it’s a blast. It’s going to be on the slower end for the romance just how I like it, and the fantasy school setting is ridiculously fun. Love watching these characters from different dimensions w/different powers get tortured by this perverse school.

Knew Ikoku Nikki was going to be good because the source material rules and the staff's good, but goddamn what an amazing first episode. So far brilliant structure to bypass pacing issues, direction that really understands the core of the series, and waaaay better animation than it'll get credit for
