I like SF, superhero comics, and indie comics. Somehow I mostly share political stuff. *shrug* My Ko-fi ko-fi.com/imaginarystories

NEW: The Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is becoming more important as Japan ties language proficiency to residency requirements. The problem? The test is in such high demand that there aren't enough seats for all the test-takers.

JLPT Seats Are Running Out as Japan Ties More Visas to Japanese Tests
Just as the government is adding Japanese-language requirements to certain visas, the twice-yearly JLPTs are getting seriously crowded.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

I love how Dani is drawn in these panels so I had to make a doodle
ID: two New Mutants panels of Dani Moonstar and Doug Ramsey. In the second, Dani is drawn close up and looks glamorous.
Text: 
Doug Ramsey: I FEEL LIKE AN OUTCAST. OR A CONVICT, IN THIS PRISON FOR LIFE.
Dani Moonstar: YOU THINK YOU'RE ALONE IN THAT REGARD, DOUGLAS? A WHILE BACK, I ASKED MYSELF, WHICH AM I--CHEYENNE, MUTANT, VALKYRIE, PLAIN OLD ORDINARY GIRL? I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER. MAYBE I NEVER WILL.ID: a doodle drawing of a very crudely-drawn Doug Ramsey and a doodle of Dani Moonstar with flowing hair and sparkles.
Doug: I’m sad, Dani.
Dani: You think you’re the only one who’s sad, Doug?

I have friends younger than 38 who look like this and they're wonderful people, and some of the worst people I know are conventionally attractive. Being hateful and misogynistic or kind and compassionate is who you are inside, not what you look like.

Said this before, but you could write an interesting book on the books/films/music that were huge in their time but rapidly disappeared from any collective knowledge. Only hardly anyone would read it, because they wouldn't recognise them.

This was my response in The Guardian 3 years ago when I was asked if my work was a response to the prevalence of whiteness in science fiction. I’m totally patting “January 2021 Nnedi” on the back. Yes, Nnedi. So much yes, 🙌🏾 :
My worlds are African worlds. I'd love to take credit for the culture that is in my worlds' DNA, but I can't. Those cultures existed long before me;I didn't have to imagine them. And my stories certainly don't exist because white male (or female ... let's not forget that white female perspectives also dominate female perspectives in science fiction and fantasy) perspectives refused to imagine them first. My stories aren't a " to whiteness. They exist wholly outside of white-male-anything. These stories that come from my own culture, experiences, from within me, from reflections of specific African cultures. By existing, I'd hope they help bring cultural, ethnic and gender balance to science fiction and fantasy, but that is not my work's reason to exist.
