Hiding out in northern Japan. American by birth, but I’ve lived in Japan longer.
Busy running, hiking; tending to my plants and myself. Also games and politics.

A baby’s most primal emotion is to cling to their mother. If your child cuts ties with you can be sure there’s a reason.

LCD Soundsystem Used to Be the Coolest Band In the World. How Did They Get So Cringe?
