"Indigo dyeing silk thread"

In case anyone wonders what the Japanese is saying

[torkmatic]

I just learned about this recently from a Viking reenactor! Indigo dye isn't blue until it oxidizes, so when you dye with indigo your cloth or thread doesn't come out of the water blue, it comes out and then reacts with the oxygen in the air and seems to spontaneously turn blue in front of your eyes. It's a really cool process to witness.

I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

[teaboot]

Last time Tuberculosis ran through the USA a small number of people got it on purpose to look skinny and waifish and delicate and used makeup to look flushed and bony and when the Victorians figured out tapeworms people would infect themselves on purpose to starve themselves smaller and women and now in the year of our lord 2026 there is a noticeable fraction of the USAmerican population genuinely thrilled about a treatment-resistant microbial parasite that makes you shit and vomit your brains out for a month because side effects include weight loss and STILL we talk about being skinny like it's the natural default setting for all healthy people as if it's a self-sustaining standard and not an imaginary goal that we are constantly constantly constantly beating ourselves with a whip to acheive

Hi there! Love your blog and since you know a lot of magical girl anime: do you have some recommendations? I watched/read a lot already (the classics like Madoka, CCS, Sailor Moon) and I'm currently on my watch through all of Pretty Cure (some are better than others).

Do you have any recs for maybe less known Magical Girl Anime/Manga? It's fine if you don't have time/the spoons, I just thought I'd ask :)

Have a nice day!

Anyone else surprised that we are in the last week of July?! 😱

It's wild to know summer will be winding down soon, but it's definitely not happening this week because I can't wait to talk about those manga licenses in tomorrow's video! 🤩

Not only that, but I'll also be sharing the upcoming shoujosei release calendar! 🥳

I hope you see a video or two you're excited for! 🧡
