Yes, I already own this in English. Yes, I bought the Japanese translation anyway. No regrets.
Love seeing how translanguaging terminology gets rendered in Japanese.

After seeing how feral people went over the Stranger Things finale (loved it, honestly), I finally understand why George R. R. Martin is never publishing that last book

What book are you reading, you ask? I finally started Atmosphere, which many of my friends mentioned as their favorite for 2025. We’ll see 😅. What was your favorite book of the year?

Took a personal day & went to my favorite gluten-free bakery. Had a dreamy strawberry pistachio tart & couldn’t resist the sakura-shaped macaron (chocolate cherry flavored). No regrets 🌸#glutenfree #bookishbreak

One double cappuccino for the illusion of being put together ☕✨ and one straight espresso shot for the sheer act of survival. 🫠 Today’s aesthetic: running on fumes and questionable life choices. #SendHelp #CaffeineIsMyPersonalityNow

My husband bought me 『魔女のまなざし』(The Witch’s Gaze) today! It’s by Eiko Kadono, the author of Kiki’s Delivery Service, and it looks so cute. 🧙♀️✨ I want to start reading, but I took a week off because of work and dissertation burnout. Hoping to ease back into books with something magical

I overheard a group of second graders deep in debate about Bloody Mary. Classic. These students were passionately arguing about where she’s from.
“She’s from America!”
“No, she’s from Hawaii!”
“No, I heard she’s from Australia!”
The international legend of Bloody Mary lives on.
