Not all there but trying.
Tokyo Skytree lit blue last night, disappearing almost entirely into dark rain clouds leaving only a stump, but the sky stump is sparkly, and brightens a dark river with its reflection.

Sheinbaum le pone aranceles a las importaciones chinas.

Peeerooo, las piezas de los autos eléctricos Olinia que según quieren desarrollar van a llegar desde China (dudo que el dueño de donitas Bimbo o chelas Corona ya puedan fabricar tecnología de punta nomás porque "Plan México").

The giant rocks that gave rise to the place name Iwate (“iwa” meaning rock, “te” meaning hand).
In the past, it bore an indentation said to resemble an ogre’s handprint, but it can no longer be seen today.

Les comparto mi sentir después de regresar a la rutina dejando atrás una crisis
La danza de las chicatanas
Fotografía de un taco de chicatanas... sacada de algún rincón de la web El sueño profundo llegó a mí sin percatarme. Lo que era simplemente reposar el cuerpo, se convirtió en fatiga hacia la inconsciencia. Entre sueños me vi como antes de enfermarme, y desperté en mi cuerpo actual, un poco más descansada, pero con los pendientes que la anterior noche habían quedado en suspención.

The only immigration reality TV show I’d watch is if you take all the authors of those “Japanese wisdom” books, have them live together in a Saitama share house and watch them adjust to their new entry level jobs at large Japanese corporations in Tokyo.
From Facebook: The Book Therapist • Follow 4d • © .. . There's something so quietly majestic about Japanese culture that the deeper you immerse yourself in it, the more you begin to wonder-am I in the wrong country? Honestly, after a few weeks of practicing the rituals from A Little Book of Japanese Contentment, I caught myself googling "how to apply for Japanese citizenship." That's how good it is. From the way tea is poured, to how a street remains spotless after a festival, or how silence is used not as a void but as a gift-Japan doesn't just live, it lives with intention. And what Erin Niimi Longhurst has done in this book is capture the heartbeat of that intention and bring it to our messy, rushed, often distracted world. She weaves together centuries-old traditions-Kansha (gratitude), Wabi-sabi (the beauty in imperfection), Shikata ga nai (acceptance)-and shows how these aren't just poetic words, they're active ways of being. It's no coincidence that a culture so steeped in ritual produces streets you could eat off, train rides you want to write poems about, and people who bow with reverence instead of rushing past you. The country breathes mindfulness because its people practice it. And this book is a beautiful, bite-sized invitation to do the same. Here's an exploration of the contentments discussed in the book: 1. Kansha - Cultivating gratitude in the details. In Japan, gratitude is not a quick "thanks"-it's a quiet bow to life. Kansha is woven into daily living. You give thanks before eating (Itadakimasu), after a meal (Gochisousama deshita), when someone serves you, even when parting wavs. It's a rhvthm of aporeciation

Ando muy comunicativa .les voy a contar algo. A partir del divorcio de mi madre, la siento más cercana. Creo que tenía miedo a no tener cómo salir avante después de la ruptura. Ahora se va dando cuenta que puede ella, y que el apoyo de sus hijas es importante.

Wanna stress-test your Japanese knowledge? A new social media app for Japanese users, Tsuita, dares you to ditch kana by allowing only kanji input, a.k.a. "Pseudo-Chinese." The app's been such a hit that users crashed the service temporarily (it's since been restored).

Tuve una compañera que ahora en retrospectiva, era muy mormona en actitud.

Si hubiera tenido el grado de madurez que tengo ahora, me hubiera dado cuenta de eso más pronto

A nonbinary person in Japan has filed a case at the Kyoto Family Court to have their family register changed so they will be listed as "first child" rather than "eldest daughter."

When I was in Tokyo recently, I had a conversation with a Japanese lawmaker who was almost in despair about what extreme inequality would lead to in the United States (and elsewhere).

really does seem like the GOP and corporate America have not adequately accounted for the very real prospect of America descending into a Years of Lead-type situation, on the back of their efforts to impoverish/indebt everyone who isn’t already ultra-wealthy

this was naive of them

Ante ayer a mi madre le decía que mi padre divorciándose en medio de su locura no sabe de lo que está tirando por la borda.

Le decía que el dating scene está dlv y que nadie experimenta ni en cabeza ni en culo ajeno.

Total!
