I'm an anime/manga nerd who collects figures and cosplays at conventions.
I love to learn about Japanese culture, language, history, and music.
I'm also a new student of Ryushin Shouchi Ryu Iaido.

There is something so serene about a winter night, where the snowflakes blend in with the stars, that makes me feel at peace simply by imagining myself there.
'Iki Province: Shisa' from the series 'Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces [of Japan]' - Utagawa Hiroshige, 1856.

The councilwoman should be censured by her fellow council members and her staff should resign en masse in protest of her vile, incredibly bigoted and unintelligent post. You don’t condemn all members of a religion for the actions of a few. That’s like saying all Italians in New York are mafiosi.

In my lifetime, the only city I ever heard called a “melting pot” is New York City.
NYC has more diverse representation than the United Nations.
Different countries, ethnicities, religions, languages spoken, etc. ALL COMMINGLED.
But if you want to keep people divided, you gotta cause a DIVIDE.

We never really recovered from the effects of hate generated from September 11th, 2001. Not on a national scale, anyway. Sad state of affairs that we can't seem to separate ourselves from "people as a monolith" idea.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

How do people get clean, even, not wobbly lineart when drawing digitally? It feels impossible for me on my ipad.
I have much better precision with pencil/pen so maybe I'm not utilizing the right tools.

What would you consider "The Most Obscure Anime"? I have a bunch of tangents that don't work on their own, & I'm thinking of tying them all into a video.

Brazil taught a lesson to Elon Musk: the authorities froze X until he complied with Brazilian law—which he did. Since then, he has never attacked Brazil again. Cowards and billionaires like Elon Musk Musk understand only one language: the full power of the law.
