@HenshinSophia While it may involve some exploitation 🥲, as they claim your publications without offering any salary, it does provide a sort of safe space for you to base and work from 😅

@HenshinSophia Given your numerous publications and the work on your book (and if needed more, you could also mention your intention to apply for a DECRA upon completing your manuscript) already, they should be open to considering it.

@HenshinSophia I'm sorry to hear... If you haven't already, you should consider asking your university for an honorary or adjunct researcher position. This would provide a proper title, access to facilities, software, and possibly a hot desk or office!

It's incredibly disheartening to hear about Ashihara Hinako sensei. She’s one of my favorite manga artists. Feeling really saddened by the news. 漫画家の芦原妃名子さん死去 栃木県内で見つかる｜NHK 首都圏のニュース

@FujikakeRin @ClaireMareeUoM And no, none of my cases involve business dealings or being “adopted” into their spouses’ families (but yes, this is only my personal experience). I believe it’s fascinating to see these cases, even though they may represent a minority.

@FujikakeRin @ClaireMareeUoM First of all, as I said, I very much understand your point, meaning that it is rare for men to take their wives’ name. Having said that 4% is not exactly “pretty much never happens.” I didn’t mean to negate your point, but I am trained in academia, so I was trained to be precise.

@ClaireMareeUoM @FujikakeRin I totally understand your point, but saying "men CAN change their surname to their wives’ surname, but it pretty much never happens" is a bit of a stretch. My dad and some of my friends’ dads actually did take their wives' last names, so perhaps it’s not as rare as it may seem.

Some Johnny’s commentary suggest that the serious issues were only uncovered in recent months. 1st account by his alleged victim was out in 1988; 1st public coverage in 1999. The Tokyo High Court found the allegations were true in 2003. Many have also heard of rumours for years.

Dazed Magazine runs a very cool story about black TickTockers embracing the 1990s gyaru look and culture. You can also see a small contribution from me - it was awesome to chat with journalist Sayou Cooper! @USydSLC @SydneyUni_Media

A piece that discusses the relationship between Sailor Moon and high fashion; something we’ve been waiting for from @emeraldlking!
30 years on, Sailor Moon is still so popular – with brands still producing themed merchandise, and a two-part film set to release this month. 🌙 The series was not the first “magical girl”, but it changed anime for good, writes @emeraldlking (@UTAS_).
