Everytime The Witcher appropriates the welsh language but the has the GALL to mispronounce it, the power of my rage grows
do you know how seldom Welsh gets a fucking look in?! and the you have the gall to pronounce it like its fucking English

I never expected this but. My new boss is goofy is actually really genuinely good. It's not just a silly comedy about a guy who's awkward but sincere. I mean, it is in part, but it's also so much more than that.
It takes the framing of a boss-employee relationship and uses it to not only tackle abuse in the workplace, but it utilises it as a metaphor for abusive relationships as well.
Episode 6 in particular is a fantastic example of this. The whole episode is named after a small moment where Momo and Kinjo are out eating lunch. Kinjo scrolls through his ensta (insta) page and names the people he's posted about in the past. He mentions some ex-girlfriends, and with the same nonchalantness, an ex-boyfriend. Kinjo's indifference about his own bisexuality catches Momo off-guard once again, and he dwells on the words "ex-boyfriend" until Kinjo snaps him out of it.
It's already clear as day in the rest of the episode, but by naming the whole episode after this moment, it drives home the (thinly veiled) metaphor of "abusive ex-boss" = "abusive ex-boyfriend".

Gotta say nothing shows the level of americanisation of media/internet than with this eclipse. Last year state in Australia (Western Australia) had complete totality of an eclipse in a dinky little town up north. It was inundated with tourists from around Australia and the world - we even had NASA scientists fly in for study.
I'm based in the only city of our hugeass state (Perth) and while we didn't get totality it was probably the most significant eclipse I've seen in recent memory. It was present in shadows, and there was a significant temperature drop during the experience.
Internationally? News probably didn't make a blip.
Meanwhile I'm sitting in my office overhearing the BBC on the tv (so british news) talking about an American solar eclipse like it's more significant? 🤷♀️
Anyway here's some of my pics of our eclipse last year: we had 72% coverage where I was, managed to catch some of the crescent shadows beneath our paperbark tree (I thank tumblr for bestowing this knowledge years ago).

I don’t know the original creator/source of this image but I think it’s lovely <3
This is the song that Yoneda-Sensei said encapsulates Yashrio’s feelings and inner world/thoughts. Just wanted to post it here in case anyone hasn’t heard it. Be warned, it’s sad.
side note: it’s super cool to associate this story with another medium (music). It is definitely an amazing way to really digest and understand it more. Listening to this song evokes a melancholic mood that makes reading Saezuru ten times sadder :(

... Oh my god. I've been longing for The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window's anime OST for years. And. It exists. But it's spread across five drama CDs and it'd be like $50 just for the CDs themselves but oh my god I need them
