Will probably write something on my visit later but relieved to hear that there are plans to bring in Japanese-language titles at @animate_manila. Surprised to see some ooe x gratte goods too. And these came out recently too!

I get it but also the immense relief of having a female friendship without a looming romance or a boy and they don't even talk about boys or ANYTHING even at the end. it felt like an unmasking.

Before the first Pride march in 1994, our lesbian sisters were the first who dared to come out to the streets when the Lesbian Collective joined the International Women’s Day protest in 1992. Today, they marched with a replica of the banner they carried 34 years ago.

A new report from Bloomberg highlights how Thailand dominates the production of #BL and #GL series. If we add novel and comic publishing, a different picture would emerge, but this data speaks to how Thailand now represents an important centre of queer cultural production in Asia

日本人男性によるサッカー場でのゴミ拾いが注目されているようだが、日本人男性の家庭内労働時間は国際的にみても極めて低い水準。まず家の中のケア労働を分担してほしい。

After the game ended, Japanese fans stayed in the stadium to collect paper and waste. Respect, Japan. 🇯🇵

I had a lovely opportunity to talk about #BL, fan fiction, and fanworks in Japan and Southeast Asia on the BBC's The Conversation. I shared my own fanfic and scholarly journey, showcasing the transformative power of fanworks. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct99n…
