Huge news! - Hisaya Nakajo's 90s shoujo manga, Hana-Kimi, will be getting it's first-ever anime adaptation! The series has been in production, and before Hisaya Nakajo's unfortunate passing last year, she had been "watching over the rough drafts of the characters and the scenario", according to the official announcement.
The official announcement also stated that the series will start "right around the 20th anniversary of when the manga ended", which would insinuate sometime in August of 2024. While no official date has been set yet, Crunchyroll has stated they will be streaming the show in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS and India. I'll update with more info as soon as it's released!
Born on May 15th 1857 in Dundee, Williamina Paton Stevens Fleming became one of the leading lights in astronomy.
Her father had died when she was seven; at 14, she had become a student teacher to help support her mother and siblings.
At 20, she had married a Dundee bank employee and widower, James Orr Fleming, 16 years her senior—who would abandon her and their unborn child shortly after her arrival in the United States a year later.
Willamina worked as a maid in the home of Professor Edward Charles Pickering, who was director of the Harvard College Observatory. The story was told that Pickering was often frustrated with the performance of the (all-male) “computers” at the observatory and, reportedly, would complain loudly: “My Scottish maid could do better!” And so it was she went to work for him at Harvard.
Fleming became a full time employee at the observatory in 1881 despite a lack of any math, astronomy, or physics background. She eventually became the first woman to be designated Curator of Astronomical Photographs in 1899. This was the first corporate appointment of a woman at Harvard ever.
Fleming contributed to the cataloging of stars that later were published as the Henry Draper Catalogue. In nine years’ effort she cataloged more than 10,000 stars. During her career she discovered 59 gaseous nebulae, over 310 variable stars, and 10 novae. In 1907 she published a list of 222 variable stars she had discovered.
In 1888, Fleming she made her most well known discovery, the Horsehead Nebula.

It really sucks that 4chan is some cesspool hellhole of a site because honestly, as someone with adhd and autism their posting system is second to none. You're telling me every post is just a bullet point list of the most important points of a post? Every story is condensed into only the parts that matter? Its fucking golden but unfortunately its in use on the totally anonymous say awful things with no consequences site
i know a ton of you are jessie fans (why else would you be following me she's all i draw). jessie's voice actress from OS, Rachael Lillis, is currently battling cancer and could use some help 💗 such a talented human being and voice for many iconic characters! im so inspired by her (clearly) and glad i had the privilege of meeting her this year
It's been fascinating seeing the reaction to the poll. The Destiel fans seem to think their ship deserves to stay popular and relevant just because... it used to be popular and relevant, I guess? Reading these tags has such a flavor of entitlement, it's really something.
It's like they're not realizing that the standards for what qualifies as good representation, or even a good show, have shifted in the last 10 or so years. Not realizing that a lot of people who were here back then, like me, never cared for Supernatural, and don't agree it was important at all, and would not be interested in celebrating it. Not realizing that other fandoms have been happening around them, and that some, like in the case of Mobile Suit Gundam, have legacies that reach back to decades before Supernatural was even on the air.
Destiel is such a product of its time. It's a fanon ship that, as I recall, was strongly disliked by its show's staff, acknowledged only because the fans demanded it so much. The ending of Supernatural was widely mocked, and the show is now mostly remembered as that meme people learn the news through.
Sulemio meanwhile had the full, joyous support of its staff, and was canon since the first episode of Gundam Witch. The whole show's plot revolved around this pairing. The Gundam franchise hit record sales numbers during and after the show. Sulemio brought hundreds if not thousands of new people into the mecha audience, and got many of them interested in the hobby of building Gunpla. Suletta and Miorine being canonically married even stood out politically, because gay marriage is not legal in Japan.
Is this not progress? Is this not worth celebrating? Why cling to the old and busted when the new hotness is doing such great things?
"Be serious", they say. But I am serious. I've been serious the whole time.
