Dear Media, It doesn't matter *if* Trump knows about Tulsa or Juneteenth. Stephen Miller absolutely does. MORE IMPORTANTLY, your readers might not. So teach them about it. Let them know why it's a racist statement. Give them context. Do journalism, not clickbait.

One of the things that fascinates me most about isekai manga and light novels is just *how much* Japanese writers love Japanese food. No discovering new cuisine here, it's all about teaching people of this other world to love karaage or whatever.

@AdriJjy @yilinwriter @britishmuseum So, let us get this straight. For the crime of wanting appropriate credit and pay, you have silenced not only the trasnlator, but also the poet, feminist and revolutionary? Wow, you just keep making the worst choices. What next? You'll pull the whole exhibit out?

@samstein I'm going guess you have never actually gotten hate mail, just slightly nasty noted from other white men being mildly insulting. Let us know what to do when people start sharing your address and threatening to kill you and your family. Which is what hate mail actually is.

@wyomingpd How hilarious, catching people committing non-violent crimes and jailing them for years, while letting rapists off with no days served.

I cannot think of a better way to celebrate Pride month, than to celebrate my beloved nerd ecosystem. If you are LGBTQ+, Queer, a Gender or Sexual Minority and you write/podcast/YT about anime and manga, reply to this thread and I will RT you! Bring it, queer otakudom!

@sarahhollowell @KingCocoaButter I've got the kind that's "I'm going out to pick up a sandwich" and have to go back inside 6 times to get 3 things because I decide to just take them, then lose them, then put them in my pockets, then go back to put them in my bag. It's the most obvious behavior of it that I do.

@marcorubio Didn't you take an oath of office, something about upholding rule of law and the Constitution? Numbers 30:2 "If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth."

Reminder that "woke" is short for "having been awakened to the realities of systemic oppression and bias in society."
