(I REALLY need to be active here…)

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

It’s awful. My heart hurts with every bit I see.

Me too! 花筏 here!

Haven’t been here for a bit. Winter vacay was mostly me sleeping. Now back to life but watching SoCal burning, so my heart aches. Stay safe, SoCal people!!

Lego netto ubros are extremely unhelpful in the event you’ve fallen into a hole.

FAQ: Who are netto ubros?

A: a term coined by @rarasensei.bsky.social (you may know her from “hisashibooty”) for “non-JP ppl (usually white boys) who talk/act like and try to appeal to the nettouyo, or JP nationalists active on SNS.”

Been busy lately with the koto performance (didn’t do awesome, but didn’t die) and work and now with Christmas prep, work, and boy in town.

In Japanese, one’s possessions are called “My (item)”, such as “my bag,” “my car,” “my shika,” because it is important to take ownership and care for your things. It is related the unique, untranslatable Japanese philosophy of “mottainai.”

I wish too!

Oh! Drums are so cool! My neighbor is a drummer and I keep hoping my son would take it up!

Thanks! Planning to start shamisen next year! Don’t play anything? I see you have drums in your header.

Making Christmas cookies on the 7th. Any domestic mutuals interested in some, DM please!

I’d never played an instrument before and so this year I decided I finally would. I found a private teacher and started in February!

I think it’s so funny that Tesla cars are viewed by many right-wingers as “woke” and “liberal” when they’re the ones salivating at Elon’s boot and buying the godawful things.

I’m on the board of this trust that seeks to give new writers the thing that David Nobbs - the writer of The Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin - said would have boosted his early career: “a bit of money l, so I could afford to take a week off work and finish my script”.

実話怪談 (jitsuwa kaidan) is my main and favorite type of paranormal stories. It translates to, "real-life/non-fiction paranormal stories". To some who don't believe in supernatural things, that phrasing may sound oxymoronic. But anyway, this genre is comprised of real-life paranormal experiences.

Koto practice went well. I made mistakes in my songs but not noticeable to those who don’t know the songs. Looks like I won’t totally suck. Time to go do some work and then head out to Shibuya for Taco Bell and live.

Seeiously! I wanna make a bunch of holiday stuff but can’t cuz aaaaaaa

Performance on Sunday. Last practice with sensei and one of my Koto buds today. I know the songs but I keep thinking too much. My friend told me I just need to “clear your brain’s cache” and that’s exactly right, I’m just having trouble doing it.

You know, most people can’t afford all that for one meal. God, see things from a different perspective sometime! <—what you’d probably get on Threads for that lol

Cuz bullies need someone to bully.

Besides, they don’t do the same for us. They just assume if we don’t agree we don’t understand and/or are stupid, hence their “libtard” name for us.
