I feel like if I could draw well, this would make a great comic à la Takahashi Rumiko. Makes sense; I grew up on Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, and Ranma.
But drawing takes more time and I’m not that great at it
I make attempts sometimes like these but I need a lot of work, especially digitally

Now, let’s look at actual data from the Ministry of Justice.
According to this graph, the number of foreign nationals in Japan has grown significantly since the late 90s.
AND YET, crimes attributed to foreign nationals have **dropped sharply** since 2005

The part that makes me angriest is this
They do at least admit I had a heart attack on school grounds
But the power harassment definitely happened. It’s hard to prove, I’ll give them that. But it happened.
The way they handled the sexual harassment was awful too

This one makes me laugh because immediately behind the table where teachers sit… is the blackboard.

Really, this is just a list of things they hate about *multiple* teachers and they’ll applying it all to ME because they’re desperate to have the court case dropped
![4. Reasons the Plaintiff Was Unsuitable as a Teacher
(1) Failure to disclose medical conditions
A. The plaintiff did not disclose prior to hiring that she had adult ADHD.
B. In her health check, she disclosed gallstones that she previously hid from the defendant.
C. The check also showed abnormal hemoglobin levels, and she was advised to seek medical care. She later took absences due to iron-deficiency anemia (Otsu-6,7), which had not been disclosed prior to hiring.

This is their claim.
It’s so BS lol like there have been times both me and other teachers have been told we can’t buy bread because they prioritize the students.
Nobody ever warned me to “limit” my purchases. I also never went twice a day. Nor did I ever show anger at being told no

Wellness grifters need to be called out and shut down because they do actual, real harm to anyone who pays them for their “wisdom”
This guy claims ADHD doesn’t exist and if you have arthritis? It’s self-inflicted
He also claims he has a PhD in philosophy. I challenged that immediately

I know it is very difficult for smaller or indie publishing houses to maintain business, and at the time very little has been publicly said about what happened at GSP.
But this is what happened to me. I was offered a contract and they had finished reading my manuscript

![1. For authors who were given contracts to sign, please note that they are now null. [REDACTED] Publishing will no longer be signing on new writers at this time.
2. For authors whose manuscripts that have not yet been submitted or proofread, you will have your rights given back. [REDACTED] Publishing can no longer proceed with the publication process due to their economic reasons. I am deeply sorry for this inconvenience.

My heart goes out to everyone who is leaving Graveside Press that was offered a contract, had a job, etc
While I have never contacted them, I was once given an offer by another publishing company, only for it to be taken away very quickly after.

![Dear, authors:
As you all know, we have been in a period of struggle to regain our account control from Amazon. Today, our account has been finally reinstated and all books are available.
However, [REDACTED] Publishing is suffering some economic losses from our previous issues, and they have made some tough decisions for moving forward. With this:
This means for me, personally, that my position within [REDACTED] Publishing is no longer necessary and has been terminated. I will no longer be the English market manager of [REDACTED] Publishing as of August 6th.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jyphsfmr5zsvz4winehnqiwj/bafkreidjb5joe43x4f3xuildblhzi76vs2ig6i7hvgic432hp4a4txbiwy@jpeg)

I *hate* this feature. It DOES NOT help people who are feeling suicidal. At all.
It’s so impersonal and cold, because whoever triggered it rarely ever reaches out themselves. They hit it… and then continue scrolling through social media.

Back at the hospital. Another check up. 😭 Achilles tendon is still healing. I’m just glad it was ruptured instead of even a partial tear
