Ancient trails of Kumano, Japan. Photography by Hisanori Manabe. The Kumano Kodō comprises a network of ancient pilgrimage routes that have drawn worshippers for over a thousand years

Captured by photographer Hisanori Manabe, this atmospheric photograph captures the serene majesty of the ancient Kumano Kodō pilgrimage trail winding deep through the moss-draped forests of the Kii Peninsula. Weathered stone staircases (ishi-dan), hand-laid centuries ago, ascend through a dense grove of towering Japanese cedar (sugi) and cypress (hinoki) trees, disappearing into a cool, mist-veiled distance. Soft, ethereal teal and emerald light filters through the high forest canopy, illuminating the damp, moss-covered stones and rustic forest floor below.
The Kumano Kodō comprises a network of ancient pilgrimage routes that have drawn worshippers for over a thousand years, connecting the sacred sites of the Kumano Sanzan—the three grand shrines of Hongū Taisha, Hayatama Taisha, and Nachi Taisha. Dating back to the Heian period (794–1185), emperors, aristocrats, samurai, and common pilgrims alike traversed these steep stone pathways in search of spiritual purification and healing. The stone paving (ishi-tatami) preserved along these trails represents a remarkable tradition of monozukuri (mastery of sacred trail craftsmanship). Constructed to prevent soil erosion from heavy mountain rainfall, these moss-covered steps stand as a testament to the harmonious integration of human engineering and natural mountain topography, earning the network recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Divest from Harry Potter and JKR, y'all. It's okay to feel sad about no longer engaging with something that meant a lot to you, but a fictional world that funds a very real assault on trans rights will never be more meaningful than caring about the safety of trans folks.

"ADHD label risks lifelong harm to children." If you don't label the disorder, then what we will be labelled instead is "Lazy." "Underachiever." "Doesn't live up to their potential." "Bad student." Those labels come with pain, shame, and abuse. The ADHD label comes with a chance for support.

This is pure bad faith from MRM—they are not new to this business and are perfectly aware this is all bullshit. These magazines essentially no longer exist: they were bought simply to use their reputations as a trap to suck IP out of writers and artists who don't know any better.

my takeaway from Book Discourse is that a number of people don't seem to know that canon is just a fancy term for "I'm the writer so I get to decide and you don't" which means another writer can also do this when it's their turn and the only one who gets to say no is the person who owns the IP

I think there is also... a really apologetic tone? The amount of "and as we all know knights are violent tools of the state so I personally am going to give up being a knight and dragons are people too so we are going to ban dragon slaying" in my recent lady knight reading has been... kind of a lot?

So now you need our votes after all? If our options are "you don't get full civil rights any more", and "you don't get full civil rights any more, but in blue", and you don't like the possible consequences for cis people, you have a problem. I won't be complicit in my own oppression.

There is no larger issue for me than my right to exist and participate in society. If that's a purity test, then so be it.
