My paper uncovering #Tolkien’s 1939 lecture On Fairy-stories, previously thought lost, is now the Journal of Inklings Studies' most read online article ever. Such vital findings about chronology will underpin my Oxford DPhil on #LotR in its time. steady.page/en/john-gart...

I just said this same thing, to a friend. Plus, all your photos & selfies will mean nothing. It's the MEMORIES you share with people that mean more. Put down you phone/camera & LIVE that moment!

"Nameless Flowers" (名もなき花) by the contemporary Japanese artist Ono Tako (おのたこ).

A beautiful vertical digital illustration titled Nameless Flowers (Na mo Naki Hana), created by the contemporary Japanese artist Ono Tako. Rendered on a textured, warm beige digital canvas that meticulously simulates the aged patina of historic mulberry paper, this work seamlessly bridges traditional bijinga (beautiful women) aesthetics with a modern, deeply intimate narrative of affection. The scene depicts two young women captured in a tender, quiet embrace in front of a tall wooden vanity mirror, creating an evocative study of light, color, and textile pattern.

The central figure stands turned toward the left, looking down into the mirror while framing her face with both hands in a moment of soft vulnerability. She is dressed in a flowing, deep violet-blue kimono adorned with vertical pinstripes and a scattered motif of five-petaled plum or cherry blossoms rendered in a light jade-green. Her hair is intricately styled in a modern, braided updo with soft curls framing her face. Embracing her from behind is a second woman, whose face rests gently against her companion’s neck. This second figure wears a vibrant red and coral-pink kimono decorated with delicate, line-drawn purple aster or spider chrysanthemum motifs, secured by a wide yellow obi tied in a voluminous bow at her back. Her dark hair is parted neatly down the center and pulled back into a sleek, classic bun fastened with a small yellow hair pin.

The artist's line work is remarkably fine and expressive, capturing the graceful, fluid drapes of the silk garments and the delicate contours of the figures' bare feet resting on the floor. In the lower left foreground, the sturdy, dark wood frame of the standing mirror grounds the composition, while a discarded red and yellow textile bundle rests in the opposite corner, hinting at the private, domestic nature of the space.

Pacifism in anime is often a hyper-realistic depiction of the evils of war, a far cry from idealized ones common in the U.S. This may stem from Japan's defeat in World War II: shows idealizing the military can read as more right-wing to a Japanese viewer than an American one.

Got this tidbit from my electric utility today - my electric usage last week totaled $0. I used AC. I did laundry. Charged my car. Cooked food. Ran the dishwasher. The solar panels on my roof worked overtime in the hot sun.

Great news from my electric utility: usage last week was less than $1. Previous week (overcast and raining) was $2. Solar. It makes electricity. No emissions.
