This striking 1935 painting by Kobayakawa Kiyoshi, titled Kaidan (Staircase), is a quintessential representation of the Shin-hanga movement's evolution into the Showa era. It depicts a sophisticated Japanese woman descending a staircase lined with a bold red carpet, epitomizing the "Modern Girl" (moga) aesthetic. She is dressed in a vibrant, avant-garde kimono featuring sharp geometric bands of primary blue, mustard yellow, and russet brown, layered over a white under-garment with delicate red floral patterns. Adding to her cosmopolitan flair, she wears a voluminous dark fur stole and is captured in the elegant gesture of pulling on a pair of crisp white gloves. Her bobbed hair and poised, independent demeanor reflect the shifting social identities of urban Japanese women in the mid-1930s.

This elegant kurofurisode (a formal black long-sleeved kimono) from the late Meiji to Taisho period (1905–1926) is a stunning example of the sophisticated textile arts of early 20th-century Japan. Crafted from luxurious black chirimen silk, the garment features a striking composition of large, blooming peonies in shades of ivory, pale yellow, and soft pink, accented by delicate spring orchids. Two graceful nightingales are depicted in flight, their teal and blue plumage providing a vibrant contrast to the deep black ground. The floral and avian motifs are strategically placed along the hem and the lower portion of the long sleeves, creating a dynamic visual rhythm that draws the eye across the silk surface. Three small circular family crests (mon) are positioned across the shoulders and back, signaling the garment’s high formal status.

Also no, I cannot afford to go see a podiatrist, or any other medical doctor. Obviously, lol.

Being homeless really fucks up your feet.

(Sorry for the gross photo, these are my feet, I just don't think people realise why foot injuries are so common in homeless people: Gotta keep moving, no money for good boots. Shoes are often stolen at shelters.)

i found some energy to draw but don't know when i'll finish it!

てかこれほぼ初期に描いた…というか坊主漫画の前に描いたすみくんでどこにも出してないやつだ、多分…画像漁ってたら出てきた

Genuine question: Why is it that almost no queer people I have ever met, ever know how to date?

I'm bringing this up in light of being stood up and then ghosted by a non-binary person on Valentine's Day.

Going on a date with a man on Wednesday, I don't care anymore. At least he's not flaking.

My date stood me up, lol.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💖

#ValentinesDay #Robin

Date secured for Valentine's Day!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Now that I have something to live for, I actually need to get my shit together and be less depressed.

FIRST GOOD NEWS IN OVER A YEAR: I MIGHT HAVE A GIRLFRIEND

I MEAN I DON'T KNOW YET BUT I SURE HOPE SO

HOPEFULLY GIRLFRIEND STATUS WILL BE CONFIRMED SOON

PERHAPS IN TIME FOR VALENTINE'S DAY

OHHHHHHHHHH

I loved this panel from Absolute Martian Manhunter so much that I immediately had to redraw it in my own sketchbook.

#comics #martianmanhunter #sketchbook

It was an good idea done so poorly. Reading the book each month was a slog. By the end, it felt like they pulled that shit to just get it over with and bring proper Dick back.

The run that came after "Nightwing by Tom Taylor" is one of the BEST comics in recent years and I greatly recommend it.

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.

Sounds like Hegseth!

17:50 - Dad called, he's going back in for surgery tomorrow morning and might be staying two nights in the hospital.

I finished making the honey cornbread muffins for Basil.

The fact that this man, whose work we all know, had to sell off valuables to pay for cancer treatments tells you how rigged this system is against us, and how fucked the average person is if we don't effect some change. May his memory be a blessing.

Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45.

I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays

13:30 - Basil came by to let me know my dad will be in the hospital overnight. He'll be by tomorrow to check on me again.

I'm gonna make some honey cornbread for Basil, he's really helping us out.

9:03 AM - Basil here to take dad to hospital, I got him out to the car (tricky due to the ice) but they're off.

I'm having a panic attack but trying to document everything just in case

数十年後 佐タプラ

Dad developed signs of sepsis. Going back to the hospital now. Good morning. :(

also oh my god thank you for the lyric video link, 10/10 that is so helpful 😭🙏💖

omg this rocks, thank you so much! 🙏💖 I definitely know some narcissists (sadly), so I'm excited to learn this one lol.

I'm trying to assemble a list of Spanish learning resources to share soon, I can tag you when I post it, if you'd like! 😊

My dad is nooooot doing well post pacemaker surgery. :(

Doing my best to keep an eye on him and help him keep down a little food. He's been throwing up all day. :(

If it goes on much longer, I'm going to call an ambulance since I can't drive. He's going to yell at me for it.
