Happy new year, everyone!

<disappears back into lurker hidey hole>

Thank you! 🥰

Why the News Feels Overwhelming—And How to Cope An explanation of the science behind news fatigue, plus expert advice to take control and protect your well-being while staying engaged

Hi. I know the vibes are very bad. If you’re having trouble with the news, this might help? 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/feel...

Welcome to the revolution. We have cookies.

Christmas tree with a jar of marmalade labeled "Merry Marmalade!" and a cardinal Squishmallow underneath. Because Christmas!

Merry Marmalade! ... erm, I mean, merry Christmas! Here's hoping for all the best for you and yours this holiday season. 🎅🎄

Thank you! ^_^

Meta's borked, so hi! I guess this is where I'm getting my social media takes today! 😜

Pictured is a gingerbread house in the lobby of the Ala Moana Hotel, where they had several houses made by various departments on display. This house, by the Finance Department, has marshmallow snowmen, multicolored snow sprinkles, and various candies on the walls.)

Merry Christmas, everyone! May your day be filled with whimsy and wonder! (Or at least some form of rest and relaxation, which is so key in these hectic, chaotic times.)

A rainbow seen in Hilo. Normally I'd say "over Hilo," but this arc is barely above ground level. Is it even trying?!? ;-)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I know I haven't posted much anywhere lately, but rest assured I'm lurking and surviving as best I can these days.

Here, have a picture of what I like to call the laziest rainbow arc I've ever seen, in Hilo. IT'S HARDLY EVEN TRYING

What I should be doing: work, anything productive in general

What I'm actually doing: heehee let's make a Linktree with all my socials heehee

(here it is! come visit! linktr.ee/jsyadao)

Kirby is love. Kirby is life. Kirby believes in everyone. 😄

It's me. Hi. I'm with DonPen, it's me. (And a few DonPen plushies in chairs.)

Life experience unlocked: Met Don Quijote mascot DonPen in the Waipahu store today. 😀

Great thread of legendary women artists (England’s top illo award is named after Kate Greenaway)
For Australian artists, add May Gibbs, Dorothy Wall and Noela Young.

Full rainbow arc over Pearl City, Hawaii.

Hiya! I'm still around, just lurky-durking. Here, have a rainbow pic I took a few minutes ago.

Our 7-Elevens in Hawaii adhere to the Japanese model way closer than those in the continental U.S., owing to the unique ownership structure. We have many tasty bentos and musubis. Does that count? 😃

Yeah, I'm over on Threads now, too. Same username, follow me if you'd like. Bit too chaotic for me at the outset, the lack of a direct desktop client is a major minus, and I still like y'all here more, but hey! Options! Flip the bird to the bird app again! Stuff like that.

Wide-mouthed Pokemon going AAAAAAAAHHHHH

Reconnecting with my Twitter mutuals.

Me on Twitter: welp site’s imploding follow me elsewhere (no one cares)

Me on FB/IG: LOOK IT’S DUNKLES MACHOMEI AND I’M GONNA RIDE SKYLINE (smattering of likes)

So congrats. Y’all are getting my popular content. 😄

Mwahahaha! My sphere of influence is growing! Soon, the number of people I bring on here will be able to take over ... I dunno, maybe a table at Starbucks. BUT IT IS SOMETHING.

Please welcome my longtime tag-team partner in fandom @schala.bsky.social to Bluesky! At the current rate invite codes are being sent out, I should be able to get all my social media homies on here by some time in mid-2036. Give or take a few years. 🤪

Yo 🙋‍♂️

Yeah, that’s me. Pushing up daisies, shuffled off this mortal coil, joined the bleedin’ choir invisible, pining for the fjords. All of that. Yup. <nods in definitely dead>

“Share the last pic on your photo roll with me!”
<perks up, gets ready to share nice photo>

“…then share this post on your timeline so I can share one with you!”
<exasperated sigh, resumes regular scrolling>

(Srsly, I hate those posts elsewhere. And I like that I can come here to rant about them.)

I really have no other reason for posting this other than how I send my friend a "proof of life" photo of her cat every day and take a buncha others, and this one just seemed too cute to just sit on my phone. Plus, you know, everyone loves random cat photos. 🤪

A friend of mine is on a trip, so I've been taking care of her cat and hanging out with him. And by "hanging out," I mean I stare at him for minutes on end while he acts generally indifferent, then wanders off to eat (again). He's been feisty around other caretakers, so we respect our boundaries.

It's Friday in Hawaii. Dad's pineapples continue to grow. All is well.

man I can't afford that

Free Comic Book Day at Aiea Library. There are a lotta bookmarks by Comic Jam Hawaii artists being given away here, too. 😄

Just a couple of Jinro frogs hanging out at the local H Mart. As they do.

Hello, everyone I assume are fellow blue bird refugees! I come offering a picture of a cat. And the promise of more substantive discourse to come. Or maybe just more pictures of random cats. We'll see how this goes. 😜
