So many people have asked me about my feelings on Han Kang’s Nobel win that I decided to write an essay, yay! Thank you @WasafiriMag for giving me the space to do it 💜✨

here’s me raven about one of the best anime series of the year, YATAGARASU, for @polygon

I’m off to bed but here’s this thing from earlier if you didn’t see it.

If you're at all into mecha and/or epic poetry, I extremely recommend Cosmic Warlord Kin-Bright. Two things you wouldn't think to combine at first, but the language of mechs flows so naturally into verse, as if coming home to its roots. A modern epic genre in a classic epic form

this week on beat's bizarre halloventure: i came back from covid leave to write about usamaru furuya's the music of marie! also, @aozoranamida23 covers a fairy tale battle royale manga, and @Adorabirb takes us to the horny dimension

i should also say, that to me this was a spiritual sequel to the Friends at the Table interview I did back in 2020. since mecha anime are increasingly rare now despite their popularity, what might "new" stories look like? epic poems and podcasts both present unique opportunities
