“Miss Miko” Kokomi smiles softly at her dear friend “Would you care for some tea?”

@manganyeh

Yae Miko eyes light up when she sees Kokomi.

"Hello Kokomi~ It's a pleasure to see you here!"

"Yes I'd love to have some tea with you."

She smiles in her signature plotting smile.

"Please come sit down ehehe..."

An interesting adventure on my way to pick up my kid

I saw this really interesting plant in front of a house I often pass, and had to take a picture! There was a lady watering the plants, so I asked her what it was. She told me 「フウセントウワタ」 (fūsentōwata), and then asked if I had a garden. I told her I grow lots of plants on my balcony, and she ran inside her gate then came back with a small one in a pot to take home. 🥰

I got home and looked it up in English. Omg.

This is my best depiction of the man who just skated past my house

That's supposed to be an acoustic guitar btw, not a ukulele; I have no artistic abilities.

If someone who actually knows how to draw wants to render him better, please be my guest.

The Thing that Shapes China's Values and Economy.

Interesting short vids from a guy who is a freelance translator in China. (Some of his philosophy reminds me of things XZ has said).

When you look at someone and they look interesting so you want to get a second look but you don't want to make it or you look weird and you don't want them to think that you think that they are weird and you're just,

Best Unintentional Hook-Up App: Couchsurfing

I’ve been secretly telling people about this app for a long time. Let me be upfront in saying anyone that TRIES to hook up on this app will likely fail and get kicked off the site/app. That said, if you are a decent looking guy with an honest, easy-going approach to how to write yourself up and present why you are on this you’ll be fine Sidebar <in your pics showoff a bit of your range…

[Interesting people to describe. Some are as restless means too high. The evidence is slow on sundays. Painting our picture one last day.]

The curious archon was walking up the steps to the shrine, and the little archon decided to visit the electro archon, but curiousity led them to a strange shrine.

They were lost again for the third time... But the curious archon was still walking up to the shrine. Something tells them that this is not a dangerous place.

Once the little archon reached the top of the shrine, they quickly ran to the strange fox tree. They never ever saw that tree before it looked so strange.

The little archon curiosily looked at the tree as they were so surprised with it!

Wow, that sakura tree looks like a fox! I never saw that before... Sumeru doesn't have strange fox trees.

🌱 A curious archon

Yae Miko turns around to see them

"Oh look who's here..."

"Hello little one, You're interested in the Sacred Sakura?"

"Fox trees? That's a Interesting way to describe it."

Yae Miko giggles

"The kitsune do take good care of it."

"Is there a reason you came to the Grand Narukami Shrine today little one?"

Photo of the Day: Sendai Sensational

I was in the city of Sendai just walking around. I saw this Interestingly dressed individual. I think it was the red nose that really caught my attention. I asked him about his appearance. He had this nasally nerdy type voice. It was sort of like Richard Ayoade, the British actor. He said he was trying to become a television personality. Hey man, reach for the stars.

By Elizabeth Victoria MA Organizational Leadership (Graduated 2018)

"Anna Swan, later known as Anna Bates after her marriage to Martin Van Buren Bates, was born on August 6, 1846, in Nova Scotia, Canada. She was born into a family of average height, but she began to rapidly grow at an early age. By the time she reached her teenage years, Anna stood at an astounding height of 7 feet 11 inches (2.41 meters).

Anna's height garnered a great deal of attention, and she soon became a popular spectacle in circuses and sideshows. Despite the challenges her height presented, Anna embraced her uniqueness and had a cheerful and outgoing personality. In 1871, she met and married Martin Van Buren Bates, who himself was an extraordinary figure at 7 feet 9 inches (2.36 meters) tall.

Together, Anna and Martin embarked on a journey across the globe, showcasing their unparalleled height difference and captivating audiences wherever they went. They toured extensively with various circuses and sideshows, including the famous P.T. Barnum's circus. Their height made them celebrities of their time, and they were even received by royalty, including Queen Victoria.

Despite their stature, the couple lived a relatively normal life outside of their public appearances. They owned a farm in Seville, Ohio, where they raised livestock. Anna and Martin also had two children, both of whom were of average height.

Anna Swan Bates passed away on August 5, 1888, at the age of 41 due to heart failure. Martin Van Buren Bates lived for another 30 years, passing away in 1919 at the age of 67. Their remarkable story continues to fascinate people, as they were truly larger than life figures who left an indelible mark on history."

The Red Barn Mystery

Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others — Col 3:23 (NRSV) Background As far as barns go, there’s nothing unusual about this red barn. It looks like most other barns you might see on a horse farm down south. And the land it’s on near the Edisto River certainly has been a horse farm over the years. But folks who live near “The Red Barn” swear there haven’t been…

There's a guy in my town who sometimes gets on my bus. He looks like an older version of Captain Haddock, he has incredible fashion (mood board attached), he's extremely well spoken, he's genuinely not okay, and he's a bit homophobic.

Usual fit:

Sunday Morning Coffee: Fellowship

Last night we enjoyed a lovely summer evening outdoors in the delightful back yard of friends who hosted a gathering of the senior citizens of Calvary Baptist Church in Pottstown. There was amazing food, lots of laughter, lots of visiting. This is a very active group of seniors, many with a great sense of humor. There were no crabby old people present 🙂 As I looked around at the other tables,…
