Japanese actor Satsuki Nakayama is without question an aspirational vision of masculinity.
I hadn't realized he was a trans man until Yael looked him up yesterday while we were watching Kamen Rider Zero One. (His character on the show is nonbinary.)

Another TV show bringing me joy is Ultraman Omega. These two utterly ridiculous boys, one human and one alien, are charming and fun and I love them. The conceit of the Ultra losing his memory is clever and funny and I adore Kosei's need to take care of him, even when Sorato drives him batty.

The current sentai series running in Japan is a bright spot in my life, especially the little bonus "confessional" episodes. Gozyuger is, as Barak said yesterday quite seriously, The Most. Just the most. But the characters are adorable and everyone seems to be having fun and I adore it.

Yes, my kids were astounded when I showed them my number. I hadn't realized I was that early but I think I knew some of the organizers :D

Any Shabbat service that includes a Torah reader holding a baby is automatically the best service. We had a big crowd of progressive Jews and then we joined many thousands of our closest friends and marched down 16th Street. I hope Der Fuhrer had a terrible day. Shabbat Shalom and Free DC!

Did I have "prominent leftie does an antisemitism" on my schedule for today? Well, I suppose I should have, considering it's all the rage these days.

::keeps looking:: Torah readers, absolutely the fuck not. Omanut (arts and crafts), highly unlikely, but I'll check just in case. Nope, nothing there.
