I know he has extensive prosthetics in the movie but I just read Frankenstein and it's funny to be like, "He was a being of hideous aspect. A wretch whose horrific visage caused men to weep and women to faint. An unholy monster, whose sheer ugliness was an affront to God."

And then it's this guy

Well. I'll always have my memories of previous experiences in Japan. Maybe I'll try again when she's gone.

(I know this is framed like it's super cool that she's the first woman PM, but she's ultra right-wing and super nationalist, so this kinda sorta really sucks, actually.)

Fanart/Illustration by KYUUOKU of anthropomorphic Nala from Lion King Disney movies like a Lorcana TCG illustration.

She wears a Kenyan costume made of fabric pieces decorated with geometric patterns and has gold jewelry, holding a magical scepter glowing with flames while standing on a rock (one leg bent and the other relaxed) against a plain background of a red/crimson Kenyan sunset illuminated by a blue aurorboreal sky.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.
