My health and current meds kept me in bed for most of today, but my friends showered me with love. My kids showered me with gifts. And one of them was something I've wanted since I moved back to the US, a Kamidana. I finally have a place to worship. What a beautiful day to be alive and loved.

Picked up a pair of Ultraman prints and a few stickers at All Monsters Attack! A special shout-out to @avartwork.bsky.social, @theladydracula.bsky.social and @henshinjohn.bsky.social!

Happy Mother's Day to the women who raised me to love and to be resilient. And blessed am I for the kids that made me a mother.

Watching my favorite contemporary Okinawan Minyo artist sing on YouTube, and she is so soulful. I cannot help but sob. The music coming from her sanshin is the heart beat of generations of Ryukyuans living through the memory of our music. I am so moved and oh so proud to be Ryukyuan.

New episode! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T_2... Featuring @andrewboa.bsky.social @arianarosario.com @waltermack.bsky.social @chavelliva.bsky.social

Post a sequel that really hits. Karate Kid II (1986) is a PERFECT sequel and I’ll die on this hill, with honor.

“The Japanese government does not help to promote these (Ryukyuan) languages and seems content to allow them to vanish. This is just one sign of how mainland Japan discriminates against Okinawa, dating back to the mid-19th century when Japan annexed the islands.” nation.cymru/feature/watc...

Tonight! Trains! Tracks! Streaming! Fun! Yeardley Smith!

Super lame how you use your weekend to run all your errands and suddenly your money is all gone too.

@catroverted.com Happy Wedding Day!

The way my youngest feels 100 ft tall when I invite them on special one on one dates for no reason, is one of my big joys of living. To be loved that much. Just wow.

I always leave Okinawan music playing for the cat and get him fish toys, because I need him to understand he's being raised Ryukyuan.

Watching walking videos of Naha City, my home, and I'm just gonna cry all night I guess.

Magnificent. This master hand paints cinema marquees. The video has English subtitles. youtu.be/udBrVp27tGQ?...

Working on making my porch the happiest place to sit with more fun trinkets. I live in my rocking chair during baseball season. So much so that neighborhood kids ask me the score as they ride by. It's a good life.

@catroverted.com how is pre wedding day going?

Got a perfume sample from a new company, and as I was trying to figure out the tester, sprayed it directly into my nose and mouth. As far as taste goes, it's a pretty good scent!

I don't care if my kids share the same interests as me, but it is quite a feeling to see your child do all the same events you did in track and crush it. We go fast.

Neon Splatter began 4 years ago on May 10, 2021. There's been some breaks over the years, but we're back and still going strong. Enjoy the original kickoff video:

All my nerdy friends are archivists and public historians, and y'all don't even realize it. I'm just so proud🥲

Gizmo from the 80s look like they've seen too much. They can never go back.

I am addicted to the NHK World Japan Channel, because their human interest, art, history, and travel videos are always done with such great care and quality. I lose hours. Highly recommend to English speaking people who want to know Japan.

Kes is sunshine warming the body while laying in soft green grass. I love her. I wish she didn't leave. #STVoyager

Finally. Eating some kitsune udon and going to watch Voyager. This is living.

The euphoria I get from creating and learning things is better than any drug.

Release Samurai Pizza Cats in 4K, you cowards!
