Print catalogue from last year. But the selection of photos available in my print store hasn't changed that much.
Had fun making this. It's a nice thing to flick through.
Find something for yourself or for someone else.

These "Christians" use God as a source for victim blaming the poor.
"You must have done something to deserve it."
To avoid accountability for the abuses of the privileged:
"God favors them."
Then the rich are given excuses for their poor behavior - and the poor are given blame for everything.

Glad I finally was able to, but bloody exhausting.
Had to change my registered card because it would finalise payment. 🤷🏼♂️
Why are Japanese online stuff so clunky & non intuitive?
