Thank you for coming to our wedding! I hope the weather will be nice... we'll see! But even if it does rain, "After rain comes sunshine.*" Or something like that. I hope you enjoy yourself today. - Kusakabe Hikaru
"Wanna practice the kiss?" "I don't think it's necessary." "Yeah, you're right. We kiss all the time, anyways." "I didn't mean that..." (They practiced in the end)

Luxiem 2.0 !! I absolutely freaked out when the announcement was dropped, and I decide to challenge myself to draw their outfits while the relay was happening (which was a terrible idea) but was fun nonetheless !! they all look so pretty

So one of my tweets kinda blew up. :v

Okay so I really have no idea what’s triggered this post to blow up again over the past few days, but I really appreciate that so many people care about the conservation of wolves. Our natural world is beautiful and important, and we should do everything we can to protect it.

And BTW, for the people complaining about the last Tweet where I mentioned Democrats and Republicans…that was in the original article. I didn’t make anything more political than it already was. And anyway, it’s apt, so there.

they need to stop this NFL season now i am not joking or being facetious they need to reevaluate how football is played fundamentally and it should have happened after Tua earlier this season

they are doing CPR on a player down on the field right now this sport should not be played by children. it shouldn’t be played by anyone as it is right now

The handwringing from the NFL head people after watching Damar Hamlin go down from cardiac arrest on the field during a live game was honest to God the perfect example of how traumatized Americans are and how companies are just like, business as usual. You saw the cruelty in action last night in real time and it just got worse and worse by the minute.

Officials expected the players to "shake it off" after watching Hamlin get worked on with CPR for about 10 minutes and then needing an AED to get stabilized enough to be carted OFF the field in an ambulance to the nearest trauma hospital.

The coaches and players were adamant about NOT continuing the game. You saw men sobbing and screaming and begging for the game to just stop because they could not continue to play after watching that. Officials really said take 5 and then continue play.

Players walked off the field. Coaches were like nah we're done. THAT IS A HUMAN. THAT IS A HUMAN LIFE. THIS IS DONE. GAME OVER.

At this point that I'm watching this all unfold he's just gotten to the hospital and now I'm watching NFL officials being torn to SHREDS by SOME of the public saying HELLO. STOP THIS. STOP IT. SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE FUCKING DIED.

But notice I said SOME. Because the other fucking half were screaming about MONEY and THIS IS A BIG GAME THAT CAN MAKE OR BREAK THE STANDINGS. It was talks about AD times and money being lost. It was talks about well the players know the risks and the game should continue in their honor right?

It was cartoonish evil in a way I started shaking at the rage of it all.

I watched in a span of 2 hours of a 24 year old having cardiac arrest on the field, I saw tweets going from

  • he's too young and athletic for this to happen
  • it's because he took a covid vaccine and ate snacks before a game
  • that's just life and this is ruining the NFL game day experience to so many
  • well my chain store stayed open after a shooting so why can't these men keep playing a game we paid to watch, they're just lil bitches for crying
  • they should play! i would play! i would do ANYTHING if i was making X amount of dollars!
  • well that's his fault i bet he'll stand for the flag NOW

it was sick.

America is broken in a way right now that is going to be talked about in ethic classes decades in the future.

Disgust doesn't begin to cover it. I cried in the shower.

All I could think was, this guy has a job where society says this person had "made it". And at the end of the day his job doesn't care about him either, just like so many of us in retail or being in the medical field or teachers etc. Our jobs do not care about us.

You get hurt, job continues. You're just a cog in a machine.

I watched a customer need medical attention from having a seizure and falling and busting her head open and I obviously went to call for help and get a manager, and then they pushed me back to my cash register and said don't worry about that, keep your light on and keep ringing up customers.

Customer was on the floor bleeding from the head and I was told to just keep ringing up people in the next lane. And to keep smiling and worry about my metrics for being a cashier. (speed, friendliness, commitment)

A shooting at a store in America, and you're told you can keep working an hour later because there's nothing you can do anyways and it's the store across the STREET so you're FINE.

But you know even if it was in your actual store you'd get the same fucking answer.

24 year old NFL player nearly died on the field. 5 minute break and the rest of you players can continue, it's an important game.

America is unhinged.

i think one of the things that gets missed by the people who really don’t like my romanticizing adulthood post is that it’s not a passive “oh magical things happen to you as an adult” sort of deal 

it’s a “this is my one and only life, and i’m going to milk it for all it’s worth” sort of deal 

it’s a defiant “i didn’t actually think i’d make it this far” sort of deal 

i’m not trying to say, “oh just think positive and everything will be fine” because that’s not true, but we are what we practice, and i think it’s important to consciously practice joy and appreciation and treating my life like it’s special because it is. 

there are days that fucking suck being a grown up, but going, “joy is fleeting and misery is the norm” does nothing but make you (and the people around you) miserable. i am way more happy than i EVER was a kid or teenanger, and a big part of that is doing special things like buying myself a cup of dippin’ dots just because i can or deciding last minute that i want to go on an “adventure” (even if that’s just walking around a secondhand store i’ve never been to before) and recognizing that these are gifts i’m giving myself because i deserve to live a life i’m in love with.
