In particular, It’s Such a Beautiful Day is my favorite movie so I’m ecstatic about more people getting exposed to it.

Terrible title, but an excellent anime, full of well-realized characters and brimming with empathy. Gets the “Made Me Cry” ringing endorsement.

Fantastic comic, really loved how it plays with artifice—the question of how much we see is genuine or performance, the way the edit transforms even true events into a skewed narrative, the use of film to overwrite or replace memory09 Jul 2026 19:13 +0000at://did:plc:leceblvofeuywep7wfbdf3bu/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqadqb6jr227https://bsky.app/profile/lukebee.bsky.social/post/3mq62ydzvc22aFinished Super Sudokoid: Final Transmission and just started the sequel Dark Inversion.

These could all absolutely use some more love.
