Morning worked in my hotel, made a trip to meet collaborators briefly, had lunch with them at the cafeteria. One showed me a pic of Jonangu taken yesterday, & on my 18 min train ride back to Sannomiya - looked up Jonangu location (it was in my bookmarks) & saw that it is 90 mins away with a rapid express from Sannomiya. Sped to hotel, dropped computer off, picked up camera and made it to the 2:07. Was at Jonangu at 3:40. Spent an excellent 45mins there! #Kyoto #Japan #Bloomscrolling #DasJP26

♥️And that's why Alysa Liu is Oakland royalty. In 2026 in the face of rising racism, fascism, and misogyny, a woman that speaks comfortably about Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, and Abolish ICE.

Gold medal is cool and all, but do you have your own thizz face mural of you flexing that gold medal?

(Corrected to "thizz face" from "stank face," so that my friends and neighbors don't tackle me, pin me down, take my phone, and delete all the Mac Dre and E-40 from my playlists).
