Ninja Wind Kamui Side Story: Japan's Best Animation

Shinobi theme

This animation is no ordinary animation. As a part of Japanese culture, the shadow side of ninjas, which is well-known to Westerners, is boldly and clearly expressed. Genius Ninja: Kamui can't stand the world of ninjas, so he becomes a "loose ninja" and is chased by a ninja organization every day. Unwillingly, he kills his pursuers and barely survives. Kamui faces the strongest pursuer: Itsutsu(Five) and loses...

Episode 5: Five (Itsutsu)

However, Itsutsu does not kill Kamui and lets him go. That inevitably means that he will also become a ninja who was pursued and will be in a position where his life will be targeted. Kamui was from a so-called "untouchable" discriminated group, and Itsutsu was a deformed child with three arms. That's why they both became ninjas. What Itsutsu says is wielding. ``If I kill you, the cute hawk (Kamuy's pet) will be sad.'' The kind-hearted Itsutsu.

Kamui and Itsutsu have been discriminated against. Although the reasons were different, it was a relief that they did not kill each other because they had the same understanding. Even so, Itsutsu is an ``enlightened assassin.'' Even his own death is relativized. It was a good encounter for Kamui. Maybe these two will survive.

“Kamui” is a masterpiece. “Five” is a masterpiece among masterpieces.

忍風カムイ外伝：日本で、もっとも優れたアニメーション

このアニメーションは、普通のアニメーションではない。日本文化の1つとして、欧米人にもよく知られる「忍者」の影の側面を、堂々と、はっきり表現している。天才忍者：カムイは忍者の世界に耐えきれず、「抜け忍」になり、忍者組織に追われる毎日。心ならずも、追っ手を殺し、辛うじて生き延びている。そして、カムイは最強の追っ手：五ツと対戦して敗れる・・・

だが五ツは、カムイを殺さず、見逃す。それは必然的に、五ツも抜け忍となり、命を狙われる立場になることを意味する。カムイはいわゆる「アンタッチャブル」の被差別民の出、五ツは、腕が3本ある奇形児だったのだ。それで2人とも、忍者になったのだ。五ツの言うことが振るっている。「お前を殺したら、（カムイの飼っている）可愛い鷹が悲しむだろう。」心優しい五ツ。

差別され続けてきたカムイと五ツ。その理由は違えど相通じる者同士、殺し合わなかったのは救いである。それにしても五ツは、「悟った暗���者」だ。自分の死さえも相対化している。カムイにとって、良い出逢いだった。たぶん、この2人、生き抜くであろう。

“カムイ”は、傑作。“五つ”は、傑作中の傑作。

A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

"The Don't Say Gay Law has been cut down to size in more ways than this.

- LGBTQ+ students and staff may now be protected by anti-bullying and anti-discrimination measures

- Libraries are free to restock LGBTQ+ books

- LGBTQ+ topics may be discussed freely

Florida teachers can discuss sexual orientation and gender ID under ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill settlement

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

A general tip for students who are sending those dreaded Religious Absence Emails to your professors: Rather than asking permission to take the day(s) off, politely let them know that you will be taking the day(s) off.

In other words, consider not saying this:

"May I miss class on [date] so I can observe [holiday]?"

It's not that there's anything wrong with the above, per se. But because it's phrased as a request, it risks coming across as optional — a favor you hope to be granted. Problem is, favors are not owed, and so unfortunately asking permission opens the door for the professor to respond "Thanks for asking. No, you may not. :)"

Instead, try something along the lines of:

"I will need to miss class on [date] because I will be observing [holiday]. I wanted to let you know of this conflict now, and to ask your assistance in making arrangements for making up whatever material I may miss as a result of this absence."

This is pretty formal language (naturally, you can and should tweak it to sound more like your voice). But the important piece is that, while still being respectful, it shifts the focus of the discussion so that the question becomes not "Is it okay for me to observe my religion?", but rather, "How can we best accommodate my observance?"

Because the first question should not be up for debate: freedom of religion is a right, not a favor. And the second question is the subject you need to discuss.

(Ideally, do this after you've looked up your school's policy on religious absences, so you know what you're working within and that religious discrimination is illegal. Just in case your professor forgot.)

It’s that time of year again, to remember that the Salvation Army is an anti-LGBTQIA+ hate group that uses its tax-free donations to fund discrimination and bigotry.

SCRATCHED. He used a box cutter to carve the N word on his skin... A BOX CUTTER. Then made claims they were best friends. The only black person on the swim team. The racist may no longer be a student but that is the class of which Gettysburg College accepts. Send your black children to HBCU's. White people have lost their fucking minds like a rabies virus.
