Will probably write something on my visit later but relieved to hear that there are plans to bring in Japanese-language titles at @animate_manila.
Surprised to see some ooe x gratte goods too. And these came out recently too!
I get it but also the immense relief of having a female friendship without a looming romance or a boy and they don't even talk about boys or ANYTHING even at the end. it felt like an unmasking.

Before the first Pride march in 1994, our lesbian sisters were the first who dared to come out to the streets when the Lesbian Collective joined the International Women’s Day protest in 1992.
Today, they marched with a replica of the banner they carried 34 years ago.

I had a lovely opportunity to talk about #BL, fan fiction, and fanworks in Japan and Southeast Asia on the BBC's The Conversation.
I shared my own fanfic and scholarly journey, showcasing the transformative power of fanworks.

Happy publication day to the weird little chapter Alexandra Hambleton and I wrote several years ago on tantai pornography from Japan 🤣 Out now in the book "The Sex Scene: Space, Place, and Industry" from Edinburgh University Press.
