About This Event
My Life in 24 Frames Per Second: A Manga Autobiography of a Japanese Animation Pioneer Rintarô,「一秒24フレームの僕の人生」is a manga autobiography by legendary Japanese animation pioneer Rintarô (the director of anime films like Metropolis, Galaxy Express 999, and the ambitious but notorious Harmagedon), chronicling his life from post-WWII Japan to the early days of the anime industry, including his time at Toei Animation and Mushi Productions with Osamu Tezuka, and his directorial debut on Astro Boy. The manga, covers key moments in anime history, from his early career to the film Metropolis, and features a foreword by Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira). This is only one single volume.

Silent Book Club: Solo RPGs & Choose-Your-Own-Adventure

Trans Occultist Meetup
This is a place for trans occultists of all traditions to share experiences and knowledge with one another. Pagans, witches, chaotes, Luciferians, esoteric Christans, Thelemites, African Diaspora practitioners, and everybody else. If you practice magick and consider yourself some sort of non-cisgender, you are welcome. You are also welcome if you are just questioning your gender, and if you are merely magickally curious. Do not worry about not being trans enough or magickal enough. First Thursday of each month, 7pm-10pm
