Just a passing thought: We perceive everything as narratives. So it's not eloquence, but an awareness of the narrative that make a good communicator. What's the narrative flow of the music? The video? The conversation? The word order in a joke to stick the best landing? What's the story?

Ever lasting love. Fairytales write on such beautiful ideals. Tales. Of fairies. Beings that do not exist. But that ideology. It’s reality, as I live it every day. A love so strong it transcended genres.

I'd love to start a more horizontally collaborative initiative for the #Haiku / #poetry community. Namely bringing back 連歌 (Renga), where you 'respond' to a haiku (5-7-5) with a two lines of 7-7. What if we use a tag like #LetsRenga to invite others to 'respond' to our haikus? What do you think?

Question to #translators especially #Japanese / English translators. I'm familiar with the idea of "Localizing". But recently I was casually rewatching Overlord on Netflix, and noticed the subtitles were not just a bit different, it was almost narratively different. What do yall think about this?

Honestly this is nothing new, but I’ll take this opportunity to mention: @lassocatsidy.meowdy.live is a phenomenal entertainer, absolutely hilarious @mrsatansan.bsky.social is sooo wholesome and supportive Both are hard working, always striving to do more (very tech savvy) and an inspiration!

Sometimes one interaction, With one person is enough, To leave you so exhausted, And empty inside, When their selfishness silences the humming bees, And their entitlement snatches the moon, Their yelling chase off the fireflies, And their deafness despairs the nightingales. #poetry #venting
