The Same Watari As Always

The good

I just put this bread in the oven. It smells yummy.

The bad

Gay Ugandans leave their country in fear.

States in the US, in South Dakota in particular, are taking Indian kids from their homes and tribes and putting them in white foster families.

Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation keeps track of charities and donation drives in Pine Ridge Reservation, an Oglala Sioux reservation in South Dakota, if that last segment makes you feel particularly angry and/or helpless.

The awesome

A slideshow of images of Edo-period Japanese art with an interview with the curator of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' new show. See how many influences you can spot!

People seemed to like my Yuletart piece! My first watercolor in roughly FOREVER, and I feel so amateurish compared to some of the other stuff. BUT I DID MY BEST.

I also wrote Nagi and Omi hacking into each other's computers for the bonus round of weiss_kreuzmas. Which was fun! I hope we all do it again next year.

Now I need to finish, and possibly restart, my White Lotus fic. Woe.
