Picking An Ita-bag For You (or A Friend) #NotSponsored

I love ita-bags—well, actually, I love bags in general. I have quite a few (the picture above being the ita-bags that are currently out), and recently I had to downsize after realizing my consumer habits were veering into full-blown shopaholic territory. This tendency hasn’t been helped by being offered entry into the Amazon Vine program, which provides access to products—including bags—at a very nice discount … Continue reading Picking An Ita-bag For You (or A Friend) #NotSponsored

[Recommended Read] Let me tell you all about Sweet Rein… again~

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting December has started again, yet it isn’t the holiday season for me until I’ve re-read Yoroshiku Master (Sweet Rein, in the English translation)… again! A few years ago, I wrote about the series here, and—exciting news—the English translation is finally available on Amazon once more.

[Reflection] Digital Parasites: What Digimon Tells Us About Trusting AI

My Elusive Tiger: A (semi-joking) Conspiracy Theory! [Rant]

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting Hi, everyone! This week’s post is a little different. It’s more about research and media literacy than anything else. Here is my sort of joking conspiracy theory about the Internet right now: Teaching—and writing—in 2025 feels a little unreal. AI is everywhere, search engines summarize before they share what you are looking for, and every time I go online … Continue reading My Elusive Tiger: A (semi-joking) Conspiracy Theory! [Rant]

Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting As of Episode 5, I feel like Who Made Me a Princess has been making enough distinguishable differences that it’s truly becoming its own series. And honestly?

However, with … Continue reading Follow-Up: Who Made Me a Princess (Episodes 1-5 Impressions + Spoilers!)

Halloween Nostalgia: Scoobtober on YouTube

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting There’s something about October that makes me crave the comforts of childhood. In years past, I was so in want of comfort that I often skipped the fall altogether to start preparing for Christmas—so no pumpkins, candy, or anything else fall-inspired aside from the fashion. Now, I feel a little bold saying this online, especially since my friends feel … Continue reading Halloween Nostalgia: Scoobtober on YouTube

First Impressions: Who Made Me A Princess Anime Adaptation (Spoilers!)

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting The anime adaptation of Who Made Me A Princess premiered this season, and after watching the first three episodes I find myself… underwhelmed. As someone who loves the webtoon (writing about it several times on this blog), I have eagerly been awaiting the show to see how the story’s style and characters would translate into animation.
