Here it is, after years of having this shot in my head, chasing the murder the night before the full Moon: dozens of crows flying in front of the Moon, my first edit. 🪶

To note: When someone says "Migrants can't assimilate" they aren't talking about desire/ability of migrants to assimilate. Its not that kind of "can't" at all. They really mean it in the same way my wife says "You can't go out wearing that" No type of "assimilation" will ever be truly accepted.

Do I have any news editors following me? I have several article ideas (primarily relating to LGBTQ+ topics in Japan, but also a couple of other items) I'd like to pitch. I mostly do on-the-ground, original reporting. If anyone's interested in hearing me out, please let me know.

My neighbor told me a cat keeps eating his british prime minister so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the commons and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to a cat and then his daughter started crying.

Starmer saying the next PM will inherit a country that is 'fairer' than the one he inherited 2 years ago. In the one Starmer inherited, trans people could use public toilets.

in the yard prying open a big ACME crate, a bit too worked up over everything to step outside of yourself and assess what you're doing or where it leads. even to notice who you remind you of. later, high up in the air, you'll see. the catapult was never for launching squirrels. it was always for you
