We’ve been extremely busy this month at Yuricon 2023! Here is a terrific new discussion for you. I was joined by Nicki “Yurimother” Bauman and we talked about all the changes we’ve seen in Yuri fandom and content over the years.

Once I again, I ask that you give the video a “like” over on Youtube, subscribe to Yuri Studio and feel free to share it around. All of the Yuricon 2023 video can be found on the Yuricon 2023 Playlist. Kind comments are always welcome!

Please enjoy The Past, Present and Future of Yuri with Nicki “Yurimother” Bauman!

I am super excited to announce that Yuricon 2023 has resumed! We have a new video up on Yuri Studio.  Today we have a really fascinating discussion about the Student Movement in Japan and how it impacted both Shoujo and Yuri, with researcher Paul DeMerrit-Verrone. Paul’s work covers The Rose of Versailles and Revolutionary Girl Utena and more.

As always, a like and a kind comment on Youtube goes a long way, so thank you in advance for clicking over there and leaving one.  Enjoy!

I know I flog the “please give us a like on Youtube” pretty heavily, but I cannot overstress how influential getting likes and subscribes is to the Youtube algorithm – so please give this a like and kind comment on Youtube. Also please feel free to share any of the Yuricon 2023 video to your social profiles, groups, discords and the like. ^_^

Join us on tonight 8PM Eastern US time on Yuri Studio for the first discussion of Yuricon 2023 and a critical piece of Yuri history: Celebrating The Life And Work Of Yoshiya Nobuko with Prof. Sarah Frederick, translator of Yoshiya-sensei’s Yellow Rose from the Hana Monogatari series.

Prof. Frederick and I delve into Yoshiya-sensei’s work and life and discuss how influential she was in her remarkable life. I hope you’ll join us! As always, your kind comments and likes on YouTube are very much appreciated.

Next up – a remarkable panel with folks who make Yuri their business in our first Yuri Is Their Job: Translating Yuri panel.
