This book is *queer* (primarily transgender and lesbian) and deals with such topics as:
- hope and ideals persevering through the cynicism of an oppressive society
- the interpretation and reinterpretation of stories
- identity and presentation as self-care, self-fulfillment, and inspiration
- which individuals in one's life are and aren't worth one's time and effort
- the lengths that are necessary to make our world a fundamentally better place to live
- and more!

watching ZZ Gundam makes me think that honestly more sequels should drastically shift tones from their previous entries even if it means returning characters are about half as competent as they were before. It worked for Thor Ragnarok

ZZ Gundam is good you all just hate fun

Hideaki Anno do Shin Super Sentai

back to watching Gundam with ZZ. I'm not sure what it is, but I've been assured it's not an anime

The last season of symphogear more than makes up for the not as good third and fourth seasons. The jarringly dark moments are back, the villains are the government and then god, what's not to love?

booba is both singular and plural and I think that's beautiful

why do we call it degrowth when we could be calling it shrinkage
