From the sky to the earth

one day, I will post my own art...

[glassrunner]

god one of the most beautiful things about kazetsuyo is how incredibly full of love kakeru actually is. when we first meet him, he’s closed-off – bitter, angry, cold. he lashes out and he struggles to connect with anyone. but as he gets to know the team more, as he allows himself to get close and care for them, we see that he’s amazingly loyal, to the point that he gets angry with jota and joji for doubting haiji, and even wants to fight the random students who think musa’s only on the team because the university is desperate. he even tears up watching shindo and haiji finish their sections of the ekiden. it’s amazing to see someone who was almost incapable of feeling anything at all actually demonstrate an overwhelming love for his friends.

[thehandymen]

when i say love is stored in kazetsuyo i mean haiji cooking and portioning meals based on how best to fuel each of his individual runners; the whole shopping center wholeheartedly rallying behind an underdog team; kakeru making the effort to try out prince’s passion (manga) while he helps him improve in his own (running); the guys sitting down in the woods and listening patiently to kakeru’s story; hana following them during the marathon to give them times; king accepting himself through running and wanting to truly connect with the team; nico always looking out for his underclassmen; shindo inviting musa to his hometown so he can see his first snow; the concept of no longer running away, but running to something, because any hardship can be endured when you know someone is always waiting for you at the finish line………

when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all

[aurosoulart]

because of the huge response to this post, I decided to make a version of the art that includes the text

(I’ve also uploaded this version of the design to INPRNT, Society6, and Redbubble)

I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired

i aspire to great things in life

[therothwoman]

According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.

So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.

[nightmigrations]

actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do

[slaughtermetals]

there’s so much beauty in the world.

The man-free sanctuary will offer up a range of typical beauty services such as hair, waxing, facials and manicures and pedicures, while providing unique services like henna and halal nails and eyebrow shaping.

“We want women to be able to come in and feel completely relaxed,” ~ Quhshi said.

Quhshi also noted that while Le’Jemalik was created with Muslims in mind, “women of all faiths, races, and ethnicities” are welcome.

This store is in Brooklyn, please support if you can; this is such a huge need for us muslim women.

For anyone wondering: Someone in the notes said they contacted the salon and yes it is trans women friendly

Because this is apparently stick up for wolves day.

Wolf reintroduction in Yellowstone has changed the ecosystem *significantly*.

One remarkable thing that was not predicted that demonstrates how interlinked these things are:

Wolf eat elk.

Elk eat fewer willows.

Willows become healthier.

Number of beavers increase.

Number of songbirds increase.

Overall health of streams increases.

Number of fish increases.

Water table stabilizes.

This is called a “trophic cascade” and we normally see them as bad things. But a positive trophic cascade is an amazing thing, and apparently nobody predicted this one.

What they didn’t predict was that wolf predation would keep elk on the move so they wouldn’t overgraze a specific area.

When the elk overgrazed the willows, they removed the best source of food for beavers during the winter.

Once that stopped happening, the beaver population rebounded and it turns out beavers are pretty good for the entire ecosystem.

This is ten times more absurd when you recognise that fucking hedgehog.That hedgehog is the mascot of a spanish insurance company, Génesis Seguros. His name is Rizo, el erizo, and nowadays looks different but this is his first version.

There were even a puppet version:

He looks like this now:

26-year-old Jamarion Robinson’s grandmother Beverly Nixon said her grandson was bipolar and schizophrenic. Still got shot 76 (!!!) times. Would a white person get the same treatment?

The witness said he saw more than a dozen patrol cars at the complex where US Marshals killed Robinson on August 5, 2016. Why were there no behavioral specialist? Surely one of them would know how to interact with a bipolar schizophrenic better than the police.

I’m absolutely disgusted.

Here’s Jamarion’s mother’s GoFundMe in case anyone is willing to help.

She did THAT

[mariposa-nena-deactivated201911]

why are y'all surprised her father said that tho… that’s exactly what the norm is for our religion, anything else is extremism or false ideologies pushed onto our women by ignorant men who wish to control women.

Notice how her dad asked her if something happened cuz he knows there’s people like this who harass young Muslim girls. If Muslims wanna take their hijab off a lot of the time it’s cuz they’re trying to escape islamophobia not islam

[timetraveller29]

This needs to spread so far and wide…

[ofbooksandstardust]

Spread this. please.

[local-shedtool-deactivated20210]

true true. alot of people think Islam is a very oppressive and strict religion when in reality it it very leniet and simply teaches a  way of life. When Trump banned Muslims, many Muslims considered shaving their beards and women thought about taking off their hijab. and when France banned niqabs, ignorant men were like “no women have to wear it” but ive read the Quran multiple times and it actually says that if your life is in danger then you have the permission to do those things. and the Quran even says that if you are starving and the only meat available is Pork, then you are allowed to eat it to save urself. It also says that if people from another religion force you to denouce your religion by threating to kill you then you are allowed to do so, if it means saving ur life. Islam isnt uptight and oprresive like yall think. Its a guide on how to live life the easiest way

To start things off here’s my favorite releases of 2020! The pandemic and the lockdown caused a lot of delays for publishing so we were left with some gaps and stretches with no new titles or volumes for some ongoing series. Hopefully things will stabilize in the coming year!

Sazan & Comet Girl by Yukiko Akase is a stunning full color omnibus promising a throwback to the sci-fi adventure anime movies of yore, which it managed to perfectly deliver on! The beautiful coloring and the omnibus format really simulated the feeling of watching a movie and not to mention a charming cast of characters! Def one of the most fun reading experiences this year💫

Mob Psycho 100 REIGEN by ONE. So the MP100 Dark Horse release unfortunately hasn’t really sped up (obviously), and why they just didn’t make the series a 2-in-1 release is beyond me, but I appreciate them giving us this short non-spoilery epilogue a little early. It has all the best aspects of ONE’s sense of humor and his talent for uncanny horror so this look into Tome’s high school life was so funny and thoughtful I almost feel i can recommend it even to non-fans of the series. Also, Reigen is there

Knight of the Ice by Yayoi Ogawa. Listen Ms Ogawa simply has the awareness and range to take on what would otherwise be tropey and weird dynamics or premises and actually be a little smart and introspective about it. And she’s just so funny and its always having a series where I really really look forward to each volume like tear open the parcel and sit down and read immediately type of excited

Mujirushi by Naoki Urasawa. I will be honest i have generally lukewarm feelings toward Urasawa more in the sense that super admire the sheer scope of all his works like very few people are doing it like him and even fewer does it just as well. But he’s also just so goofy!! Like the picture book in Monster was just so silly to me I couldn’t take it seriously, so Mujirushi fully leaning into a goofy and ridiculous plot finally gave me an Urasawa title where I could say i liked this because its so stupid!! On purpose!!!

The Sky is Blue with a Single Cloud by Kuniko Tsurita. Drawn & Quartely has amassed a really good and interesting selection of older and more alternative manga and this is absolutely my favorite one so far. A selection of stories by the first woman to be published in the legendary Garo ranged from fully abstract pieces to more down to earth ones. They were all beautiful but also some silent and solemn meditations on life and death. My favorite story was the one about a person who woke up one day to find that their physical body had disappeared and now they were nothing more than a voice.

My Broken Marioko by Waka Hirako. to summarize it simply: a short story about a young woman thrown into a deeply destructive grief after the suicide of her best friend. Like rarely do I actually find stories that are able to deliver a story of a intense and deep friendship like this, and it is a lesbian story but its not a lesbian story but its not but it is and its tragic but also a game changer that just made me think about how every element of this is what i want from manga this coming decade.

I wish I could Say “Thank You”, Yukari Takunami. Takunami tells the story of her mother’s last year of life after a fatal cancer diagnosis. I won’t go into too much detail here bc its a very heavy topic and I had to take some breaks while reading it lest I’d start sobbing. So if you think you can power through it I deeply recommend picking it up.

Ping Pong by Taiyo Matsumoto. IT WAS ABOUT TIME!!! Its clear now that Viz is finally open again to publishing more Taiyo Matsumoto again and this huge gorgeous release for Ping Pong was exactly the treatment it deserved. The super intense matches really are really unlike anything you’ll find in any other sports manga, even action series can’t really compare. Its just so amazing

Due to personal reasons I will not be acknowledging Junpei Yoshino’s death as well as his mother’s. To me they are both alive and Junpei is attending Jujutsu Tech, is friends with Megumi, Nobara and Yuuji as well as with his upperclassmen and is training so that he can beat the shit out of Mahito. Thank you for you understanding, Sincerely, a person seeking comfort in fanarts of Junpei interacting with Megumi, Nobara and Yuuji
