From @Leahgreenb on Twitter: friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so" I am not saying this is fair. I am saying it's important and I'm gonna try to do it, and I invite you to do the same

She looks so serious and thoughtful. It’s easy to forget how empty her head is.

The entire time we were in Japan, I couldn’t get this image out of my head.

私たちが日本にいた間ずっと、このイメージが頭から離れませんでした。

I did not expect to get this sunburnt walking around a big Japanese city in the middle of October. Which probably just reflects my ignorance and lack of planning.

10月中旬に日本の大都市を歩き回ってこんなに日焼けするとは思っていませんでした。おそらく私の無知と計画不足が原因だと思います。
