Yukari continues complaining about the summer heat, even though she works indoors. On the plus side, the summer weather brings heavy rainstorms that will cool things down - though not everyone is a fan of rainstorms.

The class gets a great suggestion from someone through the suggestion box! Now they're fired up for the culture festival, and preparing to get things in order for it. But not all suggestions appear to be welcome.

Samus takes a moment, reminiscing about a thing she's struggled with since childhood. While it seems like she's just lazing about, she's actually proceeding carefully to complete her mission and save the baby Metroid!

Chiyo may be scared of the thunder, but Yukari's driving was probably more dangerous. Osaka recounts a saying she heard about how the thunder god takes one's belly button - but what does that even mean?

Tomo is doing a great job drumming up business for the class's stuffed animal exhibit (or so she claims). Chiyo would probably do a good job as well, but maybe not with the mascot outfit on...

I read Soulless: The Complete Omnibus by Gail Carriger & Rem. It’s the manga adaptation of Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate steampunk paranormal romance series, and it’s delightful.

I feel like I have to do an #introduction post after 3 years on this instance.
I'm sans serif girl - even if, at 40, I'm not a girl anymore (actually I'm not exactly a girl at all 'cause my gender is neutral, but you know force of habit; also in Italian we don't have a neutral equivalent and I'm not very fond of overextended [? I don't even know if this word exists] masculine) but I'm quite attached to this nickname - a neutral person, my pronouns are she/they, I'm #ace, #biromantic, #autistic and #deaf in my left ear.
I'm boring even if I laugh over the stupidest things and on a scale of 1 to 10 my mood is always an honest 5. Like Fiona Apple's meme in my pinned posts I don't like to go out (if it entails socializing and meeting people) except for walking my #dog (I have an old female dog that I love very much) and exploring the #countryside and river banks.
All my interests are things that I can do on my own like #reading, #writing, #MusicListening, watching #OldMovies, going on walks, taking nature #pictures. I told you: boring!
My best friends live far away from me and I'm obviously sad about it, but not so sad as a normal person would be because I don't despise my time alone, on the contrary I quite like it as it allows me to recharge from everyday stressing things like noises, traffic, work, and of course PEOPLE.
When I had my full earing I used to play the bass guitar and ukulele (and a bit of violin) but I quit because with only one ear left I find it quite difficult and a little bit painful. I also loved going to concerts but I can't anymore.
So most of my free time slots now are taken up by reading #manga #manhwa and #manhua, like I used to when I was in my twenties. One has to do something to entertain theirselves, no?
I'm also quite interested in #astrology and #tarots, that I use as a way to better understand myself.
I believe in #accessibility and that's why I'll always demand an alt text on your pictures and won't boost pictures without it.
I don't do immediate follow back because 1. I want to know who is following me 2. even when, after some time, I think someone is ok I almost always forget to reciprocate.
But you know: bad friend 🤝 bad mastodon user.
I've clearly forgotten something fundamental* but I'll blame the time and my age.
*Here we go! The first thing I’d forgotten is that, as one of my dearest friends always tells me, my love language is "a meme for every occasion". There’s a meme for everything, I’m sure I’ve got one in my endless archive and I'm going to post it. The second thing is that, unlike many people, I like voice messages a lot, even the longest ones. But I don't like podcasts for the record, nor audiobooks. The third thing is that, despite having read so much theory, I can’t bring myself to call me a #feminist. When I think of feminists, the image that springs to mind is about people who manage to put theory into practice, activists who take up spaces. I can’t do that – for various reasons I won’t delve into here – and so I don’t think it’s right for me to claim the label for myself. However, I have great respect for the comrades who carry out feminist practices into everyday lives.
And now for some faves:
- writers: #DaphneDuMaurier #DianaWynneJones #UrsulaKLeGuin #ShirleyJackson #JRRTolkien #NnediOkorafor
- musicians: I've always listened to a lot of kinds of music but if I must choose my all time fave is #JoannaNewsom
- movies: almost all where #CaryGrant starred, plus #ColdComfortFarm #Smultronstället and #NoisesOff
- tv series: #TwinPeaks #VeronicaMars #MontyPythonsFlyingCircus and #MurderSheWrote
- animals: #dogs #goats #donkeys

Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 1 by Kamome Shirahama and Stephen Kohler (translator) (2017) has been popping up in my recommendations for a year or two on various sites where I track my reading. Now that the manga is getting an anime adaptation, I felt it was time to give the series a read.
Coco, a young seamstress has wanted to be a witch for most of her short life. As a young child she purchased a magic coloring book from a witch with a spiral eyeball mask and was given a free magic wand. She hasn't managed to do anything with the book until a witch visits her mother's shop and she happens to witness the real way magic works.

A new photobook of some really cute pandas has released! Chiyo and Osaka plan to stop by the book store on the way home to check it out.
Before opening this one up, try drawing where you think the black and white parts of a panda are - then see how close you can get, and if you did a better job than Chiyo!

Chiyo was able to purchase that panda book that she wanted! The girls talk about if they've ever seen a panda, and make plans to go see one together next time.
How 'bout it Fedi? Have you seen a panda? Was it a black and white panda, or a white and black panda?

I had a few manga ARCs that come out today. Some were good, some less so. 🧵
First up, Innocent Rouge Omnibus Volume 2 by Shin'ichi Sakamoto. A story of a family of executioners in 18th century France. More a graphic novel than manga, really.

Yukari is having a blast playing soccer! But either she doesn't know what she's doing, or she is willfully playing the game wrong. At least she's having a good time.

Filme maravilhoso, é tão bom ver uma boa continuação do meu filme conforto desde sempre, espero que futuramente tenha um terceiro filme em que foquem no possível romance de Andy e Emily, é bem nítido que tem algo ali mal explorado na história ❤️🩹

For those who struggle with #Paywalls on #news/scientific #articles:
Two websites which are indispensable:
https://periscope.corsfix.com/ - Periscope acts as a proxy which gets past news paywalls
https://sci-hub.su/ - Sci-hub. also found at .st, .ru, .red, and .box; acts as a frontend to access scientific articles
And then this browser extension, Bypass Paywalls Clean, which works quite well (updates a lot, though, so stay up to date):
https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean (Chromium browsers)
https://gitflic.ru/project/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean (Firefox browsers)
ONLY trust these git repos to source the extension. Magnolia1234 is the original developer. The extensions were removed due to DMCA from the browser extension stores, and now there are many malicious copies. This one is safe, I use it myself, and have done so since before it was removed (so I know who is the real dev).
