NITRO CHiRAL fair Purchase Bonus Postcards [2024]

Figured I’d take a minute to scan the postcards that came with the merch I had preordered from eeo! If I’m not mistaken, I should only be missing the café one… which is likely because I didn’t order any of the café designs, haha. I love how cute all the new outfits are — I’d probably buy them all if they ever released official versions someday! These scans are available in better quality (along with their backs & front/back PDF sets) here.

Question for y'all!

If you're wondering what I mean, a mouthful to get the idea to you:

These are selected/Utena specific scans of the Newtype Magazine special issue addendum, '15th Memorial Book,' packaged with the April 2000 magazine. Utena appears in a few spots, as well as Utena alumni like Yoji Enokido! These Memorial Books are literally celebrations of the magazine's work, a strangely masturbatory process that nevertheless kinda makes sense for an era before internet was how this stuff mostly got conveyed. A rich secondhand market existed, and this was a way to get people filling out their collections, I suppose. As usual, no idea what any of this says, just that I think it's neato as a larger archival process, and I'm just trying to find the best place for it, or the best chance to get an audience. Obviously it will all go on the site, but the how and where I haven't worked out just yet. I'm just not sure if there's an audience for this stuff here. Checking!

PS yes that's Schell Bullet and yes I have it.

Erin Reed at Erin In The Morning:

Over the last week, conservative influencer accounts have ignited a firestorm over cisgender boxer Imane Khelif, alleging that she is actually a “man” and suggesting she might be transgender. This is despite officials confirming that Khelif was assigned female at birth and has competed as a woman her entire life. The controversy has led to statements from Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and anti-transgender influencers, who are using the boxer’s participation to target transgender athletes. Now, the Boston Globe, a major American paper, has published and circulated into print the false claim that Khelif is transgender. The title reads, “Transgender Boxer Advances.” The headline was placed on an AP article written by sports journalist Greg Beachem, who asserts, “That's not my headline. That word isn't in my story. My stories are syndicated worldwide, and customers are allowed to write their own headlines.” The use of alternate headlines is a common practice for wire services. The word “transgender” does not appear once in the story, which was printed on August 2, 2024.

There is no evidence that Khelif is a transgender woman. Although transgender women are allowed to compete in the Olympics, there are no openly transgender women competing this year. Meanwhile, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has confirmed that Khelif is a cisgender boxer, calling disinformation about her gender “totally unacceptable.” Khelif’s family shared pictures of her as a child, as well as identity documents showing her assigned sex at birth. Notably, gender transition is criminalized in Algeria, making it extremely unlikely that transgender people would be allowed to transition in the country.

The original claim about Khelif’s sex eligibility arose when the scandal-plagued International Boxing Association (IBA) ruled her out of competition, alleging she failed an unspecified gender test after defeating an undefeated Russian boxer. Notably, the IBA is presided over by Umar Kremlev of Russia, an associate of President Putin. In 2023, the International Olympic Committee voted to derecognize the IBA due to concerns about corruption, governance, and judging controversies.

[...] Update: The paper has issued a correction and apologized. “A significant error was made in a headline on a story in Friday’s print sports section about Algerian boxer Imane Khelif incorrectly describing her as transgender. She is not. Additionally, our initial correction of this error neglected to note that she was born female. We recognize the magnitude of this mistake and have corrected it in the epaper, the electronic version of the printed Globe. This editing lapse is regretful and unacceptable and we apologize to Khelif, to Associated Press writer Greg Beacham, and to you, our readers.”

The Boston Globe should be ashamed of themselves for inaccurately describing Imane Khelif as “transgender”. The paper did later, apologize for the insensitively bigoted headline but not the trans community as a whole.

I posted this on Twitter but I should probably share this here too:

Quick tiny bit of knowledge for anyone planning any print media (using CMYK printing instead of like...pure monochrome grayscale) but grey, especially toned greys like cool or warm greys, are REALLY HARD to print cleanly over large areas. Just for your info so you can plan.

I ran an industrial inkjet printer for 8 years at the job I had before COVID, making signage and stickers and posters and banners and all sorts of things like that. My bosses never listened when we had a grey order and I told them we needed to send the customer a physical proof instead of our usual digital one so they could actually see the striping/static that shows up almost NO MATTER WHAT on printed grey. Without fail the customers always had to be given a caveat because even the best of the run (usually 20+ more than required to get even remotely clean looking ones) had visible static, even after multiple cleanings of the print-heads and every anti-static trick we could think of.
