glitteringstarsThe Legacy of the Anime Never Meant to Be Real, and the Company Built on Memes: A funny video about a 2000s magical girl doujinshi series. I love weird shit like this. I don't know much about the doujin scene besides some things that cross the language barrier (Touhou and the When They Cry series).
"AKU" MV from Queen Bee: I just stumbled on this artist's MV, and the simplicity of the whole zoom in and zoom out combined with the imagery is absolutely haunting. I'll be checking out more music from this group for sure. Gotta love artists that do some genderfuckery.
Scientists Are Reviving Climate and Nature Research Effors in the Wake of Trump Cuts: An article I saw while at work, but just got around to reading. This is incredibly relevant to my state as our state equivalent of the EPA is doing a lot of work to limit pollution. It's the same energy as the people who collected and published data about COVID deaths during the early parts of the lockdown. I hope there'll be a further buildup to support these efforts as it becomes one of the only ways for us to fight climate change (and similar projects that are focused on other community health initiatives).
Dewfeathers Cosplay: A cosplayer I follow who works with focusing on reusing items; she does weekly blogs on what she's working on and could provide resources for those who want to be more conscientious about how they go about their cosplay. She did a panel at a con I saw last year, and I love her approach to cosplay as a non-competition cosplayer.
An animatic for the song "Anna" from Venice: The Musical: Finally, some good food for this musical. I stumbled on the soundtrack just a few years after the peak of Hamilton's popularity, and was obsessed with the soundtrack. The TLDR of this musical is it's a bit an Othello retelling that has some neat ideas but apparently had questionable execution.
