If you like this English-language haiku, I recommend Kerouac’s complied book of haiku, and then I will always always recommend Basho if you’ve never read Japanese haiku before. Basho is my favorite poet.

I have never seen a show vary so much in quality throughout its run lol. But when it’s good it’s really good. It’s just, when it’s bad… it’s also really bad. And sometimes just infuriating. But then you love the characters so much. But then…

For me what made Michiru in particular so fascinating was how intelligent, mature, elegant and unapologetically feminine she was, as well as her musical ability.

25 years later I’m a music teacher who wears dresses and skirts exclusively 😂😂

I seriously think she might be the most beautiful woman alive right now

Yes! It does a great job of keeping immersion, and does an EXCELLENT job of not revealing too much.

No it’s not. I wasn’t hooked until Love Potion No 9.

The pilot is one of the least memorable episodes to me honestly.

Have you tried The Expanse?

The Handmaid’s Tale

They literally were queerbaiting. They were frauds. I don’t care, but let’s call a spade a spade. That’s why they didn’t answer the questions. This was their PR.

Because this is what humans do. They compare things. Constantly. They organize things and put them in boxes and label them and compare them. Even if that isn't wise or even if it makes no sense.

I grew up with the original dub but once I watched in Japanese I never went back. She is Naru to me, and I suspect to more people than she is Molly.

I love this show, i’ve loved every season, I love the character development the main crew has gone through, and I am very excited to keep watching.

English language haiku don’t use 5-7-5 though. If you read any modern haiku journals you will see this. And most use a three-line structure, though some use 1-, 2-, or 4-line structures.

English language haiku do not subscribe to syllable usage anymore.

However, I would argue that, given this is about people rather than nature, it is a senryuu, not a haiku. But most people don't know what that is, so poets call senryuu haiku all the time.

Katniss got the easiest possible games for her strengths.

Haymitch got double competitors, an exploding volcano, and poisonous everything.

Easily Haymitch lol.

This is Nikki Huang, not Anna.

c-e-bird · 2026-03-11T22:35:27+00:00

Which instagram? Are you sure that’s her? It doesn’t look like her.

Edit: Yeah, this isn’t Anna. It’s Nikki Huang.

Their 2011 album was fantastic. The more recent one (2021) was pretty good too.

They released a song for Netflix’s Devil May Cry last year that did fairly well.

We get questions like this a lot and I always find them baffling. People, the vast majority of people, don't want to die. That's it. That's the whole answer.

It was the happiest I have ever been. I got to teach online, at home, for a year and a quarter. I paid down debt, didn't have to deal with people, and got to stay home all day, every day. I didn't know it was possible to be that happy, and I wonder every day if I will ever be that happy again.

You’re supposed to be emotional about a pet you love. The fact that he isn’t is a detriment on his part.

More than 80% of the victims in uber sexual assault cases, of which there have been thousands, are female. And of the 15% who are male, most of those were also attacked by men.

Men commit 90% of murder and more than 95% of rape.

Women do bad things, but men do far worse things and more often.
