TV Tokyo has announced a live action drama adaptation of Ojisama to Neko/A Man and his Cat!

The manga is incredibly cute and this little puppet is so charming. It starts broadcasting in January 2021 and stars Masao Kusakari 草刈正雄.

@crouching-mouse, have you seen this? :)

[imanwithoutbowie-deactivated202]

Continue✨ Keep going✨

[tartrazeen]

Thank you, lady 🤗

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

oh, the orange shithead got covid!!! oh it’s like our birthdays all came early!!! oh i hope he dies!!!  🎉 🎉 🎉

[ks-caster]

The epitome of “everyone was thinking it.” lol

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

oh, were we trying to be discrete? what nonesense!

to crystal sparkling blindingly clear: 

i hope trump dies!🥳🥳🥳

i hope his cabinet dies! 🎊🎊🎊

i hope his entire family (minus the teenager) DIES!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

they are all complicit in the highest level of treason, fascism, the destruction of civilian lives, and the revival of nazism in the 21st century. would love to watch someone dip them one by one in gasoline like a candle wick in hot wax then light them up like a xmas tree 🎄🎄🎄 a menorah 🕎🕎🕎 or a pyrotechnical parade on new year’s eve 🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇🔥🔥🔥. to reiterate, I would consider trump’s death a festivity a holiday a salubrious celebratory occasion a marvelous means of welcoming in the new year, a cause for cigars and party hats and passing out the champagne 🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂. finally something to celebrate in 2020 ❤️❤️❤️

[three-bunnies-in-a-trenchcoat]

Uh… That’s a bit violent

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

[not-semi-perfect]

Big words for a crayon eater.

[thegovernmentcansuckmydick]

Wishing death on someone is terrible no matter who it is.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

that’s nice. i hope trump dies :)  i would find this altogether pleasant and charming :)  his death would bring me great delight :)  i would enjoy it so :)

[chaoticmistake]

That is still really mean

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Sure is! hope he suffers excruciatingly :)

Jeweled Skeletons

The jeweled skeletons were originally found in catacombs beneath Rome in 1578, and distributed as replacements under the belief they were Christian martyrs to churches who had lost their saint relics in the Reformation.

Most of the skeleton’s identities were unknown. The  churches spent years covering the revered skeletal strangers with jewels and golden clothing, even filling their eye sockets and sometimes adorning their teeth with jewels. The skeletons were ultimately hidden away during the enlightenment because they represented excess and the churches were embarrassed about how much money was spent on them.

Thousands of protestors singing “Do You Hear The People Sing” in a Hong Kong international airport. This is part of a 3-day sit-in and is only one example of the many marches, rallies, and sit-ins that are occurring daily.

The people of Hong Kong are fighting. Please do not let their voices go unheard around the world.

Hong Kong’s huge protests, explained by Vox.

Just in case someone wonders what they’re protesting against.

[andthwip-deactivated20220219]

This is happening RIGHT NOW in Hong Kong. It is August, 2019, and they are fighting for their freedom being taken away from the totalitarian government of China.
