My youngest niece and nephews agreed to be the first official reviewers for my picture book, and they said they liked it! I was particularly overwhelmed by the fact that the youngest nephew MEMORIZED the whole book because of how much he enjoyed people reading it to him ToT. I think that's the highest compliment that I've ever gotten for my work. Emi Isn't Scared of Monsters is coming out on August 2nd, 2022 and you can still preorder it now!! Go to whatsupbeanie.com/links or look it up in your local bookstores :). It's a silly story about Emi, a little girl conquering her fear of the dark to find her puppy. Book birthday so soon!!!

I have a feeling I'm the only one who actually cares about this but you guys

All 44 MILLION flipnotes that had been posted to Flipnote Hatena back in the early 2010s have been restored. ALL OF THEM!

I accidentally found this out today. I had no clue this archive project was even a thing in the works. I checked the website and was able to find every single flipnote animation I ever posted.

Flipnote Hatena was such a huge part of my childhood and my journey with art. It was also what got me through some of the first years of my parents' divorce as a child. As a clinically depressed kid having to switch between houses every week, flipnotes had been my lifeline. They had been my everything in middle school. And now I have all of my flipnotes again, and readily available online at that. This is the best gift I could have gotten this christmas, especially after accidentally deleting years ago one of the animations I had cherished. The archive project has also gotten enough funds to keep the project going through to 2024, but you can donate to their Ko-fi if you want to keep the archive up even longer.

I never would have thought I'd ever get to see all of these animations again. 12 Terabytes of data containing 44 million flipnotes made by 1.2 million kids over a decade ago. I didn't even know this was possible!

If you want to watch the animations in the archive, here is the website.
