Isn't worrying the defining feature of rustaceans? "Memory safe!"

I only recognized 9/28.

I was thinking of how I found some of the ones I've really enjoyed recently. Mangadex has a decent filter system that can have inclusion and exclusion criteria, like must have ninjas but can't have lolis. And the most important criteria of all: only showing ones that are completed. Some of us aren't made to read things as they trickle out only to have them suddenly cancelled (looking at you, Dress up Darling).

I just use it to describe what I'm looking for and then sort the results by rating. That's how I came across Alice-san Chi no Iroribata (others have mentioned it) and Ao no hana.

For ones not mentioned elsewhere:

Sono Koi wa Ichigo no Youni - Strawberries and farming and romance.

Insomniacs after school - I usually can't stand a school setting, but really enjoyed this. Astronomy themed.

+1s for Alice-san and Ao no Hana. Both include some interesting stuff about open hearths and pottery, respectively.

Telework convinced me to brush up on my Japanese. I've really enjoyed the author's work because adults communicate and actually have sex, so there's so much less toxic behavior and false tension (read: padding) than in most of the other things I've read. Telework is also a single volume if OP wants a taste before diving into the longer series.

@hitagi@ani.social Sorry to ping you, but you've got an alt for an alt right troll on on your instance. Looks like there are alts on most servers, but there's a reason this user has been banned from most places.

UniversalMonk must have gotten banned from other instances. This alt is two days old. Looking forward to this one getting banned, too.

Around here, newer performers are doing a lot less classic acts and I see a lot more kneepads, but that could just be one specific studio and how they teach.

There's at least 3 main productions (shows long enough to have intermissions) that do monthly shows and a few more smaller ones that do occasional gigs like art shows and comicons. I've gotten a bit jaded to most performances, but still really enjoy outstanding acts. There's never a shortage of new people, but a disproportionate amount are recently divorced and there are never enough men.

My partner's been doing burlesque for about 10 years now and seeing the amount of work that goes into it and feeling the weight of the crystals on her outfits still impresses me. She's getting back to travelling for shows after an injury that sidelined her for about a year and I'm really excited about that. It's such a a great outlet.

Spirit glue or wig tape?

Have you noticed a shift in style for performers that got into it post pandemic?

Any strange local laws that have impacted acts?

What percentage of shows do you do local vs traveling?

Ugh, too thick. And the bars at the top and bottom? Gag me with a spoon.

He's gonna lose it every time he gets bumped, but as long as he picks it back up immediately, he'll be practically invincible.
