Who wants to break it to all the fearless, Western trailblazers that Saitama has already been discovered? Not it. Too tired.

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but here’s a small ginger announcing your train transfers as you approach Shinjuku station.

Ok but can somebody please agree with me that the cute little cable car that takes you on that steep AF incline halfway up Mt. Takao is utterly terrifying?

A cold and snowy walk along the river this morning. #Nagoya #birdphotography #Japan #birds #LumixG9M2

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

The night is cold but the train appreciation must go on!

Y’all I have no idea if I passed the 3rd grade (漢字検定) last weekend but I just filled out an entire assessment form regarding my kid’s therapy plan with a pen and I didn’t need to take out my phone once to check any kanji strokes and NGL being almost as smart as a Japanese 3rd grader has its perks 😌

A moment’s rest.
