I love this post, and I get this same feeling with flowering/fall foliage trees & snow in places far away from my home in Florida too. Adding to say it's also why I get excited to see mountains, they're so huge and majestic, and there are none where I live!

Pics are from separate trips to Canada and Japan, I look back at them repeatedly. miss you big rocks...

45 Days to send Liam with love and happiness.

To all the fellow Directioners from around the world who are reposting and liking the memorial services of their country and others. I'm so happy to see you all. Especially some of them are old fan accounts on Tumblr, and yes, I recognize y'all. It's like back to 1D time and it feels nostalgic seeing y'all.

It's sad that instead of One Direction Reunion we are connecting at this sad and tragic hour of loss but, for the love we all share for our boys and today for our beloved Liam❤️ I would humbly request fellow Directioners to share your stories about the first you saw or heard the 1D song, been to their concert, met them, they replied to your tweet, also waging war on Twitter for the boys, running hashtags like #ProtectLiam. Everything.

Tells us what Liam means to you and what the band means to you. I know that not everyone is verbally expressive about their emotions, so please don't hesitate to share your love the way you express it usually: through art, poetry, photo collage, video, etc.

I said the Tumblr memorial will be on October 20, but where I come from, in my culture, it is said that the soul of the deceased stays with their loved ones and visits people who love them for 45 days. That means Liam is right here with us, seeing all the love all of us are pouring. It also means he can see us cry and mourn him. My question to Directioners all over the world is, are we going to send him off with tears and sadness? Are we really going to send the man who wanted to make others smile and be happy with our tears and despair? Or are we going to send him with happy memories and love that he so very deserves?

If you are like me who chooses to send him with happiness and love do share your love for him here too because there are many Directioners on Tumblr who are lovers and are currently going through this pain alone with their own set of personal struggles. Liam wouldn't like any single person to worsen their condition because of him.

ONE DIRECTION AND DIRECTIONERS ARE ONE FAMILY. We got each other's back and so do we have this responsibility to our fellow Directioners who are in the same boat as us.

ONE BAND, ONE DREAM, ONE DIRECTION.

Do It For Liam

New exhibit at the Museum of Asian Art features artwork from Edo period Japan depicting scenes of spirits and entities from kabuki and noh theater. It’s extremely rad and very much my thing.

Palestinians bid farewell to the martyrs of the horrific massacre committed by the occupation against the displaced in Rafah.

The Civil Defense in Gaza reported, via a statement, that 50 Palestinians were transferred “between martyrs and wounded as a result of an Israeli bombing of a displacement camp west of Rafah.” The committee added, “The Israeli bombing targeted the tents of the displaced in areas that the occupation claimed were safe, and called on residents to go there.”

I Misogi'd Myself

Hi friends, Happy Friday-eve! Guess what? It’s 70° today in Virginia. I decided to go to a local brewery, enjoy some dinner, and let you guys know that I fucking misogi’d myself. Now before you go on and think it’s a sexual act, get your head out of the gutter. It’s not. It’s actually a lot more spiritual than you could imagine. Misogi (禊) is a Japanese Shinto practice of ritual purification by…

Japan is giving the US 250 cherry trees!

And here is the tweet where they visited stumpy:

there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

It is peak cherry blossom season in Washington D.C.

Did you know that the planting of cherry trees in Washington DC originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the People of the United States from the People of Japan?
