"After Breakfast" (1890) by Elin Danielson-Gambogi for the curious!

Had to look it up and was pleasantly surprised by the relatable "modern" vibe. Me too girl, me too.

I mean I'd imagine they'd say that a common theme with your character's is valid misgrievances with authority, especially perceived as incompetent and evil — hence deserving of retribution for disrespecting your character's natural peace.

At the very least, a therapist would identify whether you generally perceive threats/issues as internal or external - or your PCs have ultimately external threats and want to rectify that while other people's PC (like my own) usually have internally-derived

Women aren't genetically more empathetic than men; the way power has been traditionally distributed since civilisation began, it has always been the burden of women to understand men. —Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A hopeful history

Reminded me of this excerpt from a somewhat optimisitic but delightful read about how the transition from ~~hunter-gatherer~~ nomadic/"the commons" to agricultural/private property created numerous cascading effects — one of which was how women went from active equal members (yes, even hunting) to being secondary members and essentially property. Women, even to this day, have the onus to understand men/others while men have historically had the expectation to not understand women or others.

edit: repetitive grammar

I thought it was referring to the Opium Wars

The violin is a microscopic image rather than a playable instrument and has not been officially confirmed as the world's smallest violin, the university said.

I knew it was too good to be true but had to check :( Everyone go home, you can't play it

You just made me realise a non-zero amount of people have this view and post/behave however they want - leading to instance closures and defederations

that's my boi Reigen from Mob Psycho 100. OP is a weeb 👍

 

Synopsis Mokume is a first-year college student and occult fanatic! She hunts down an older student, Kugutsu, who is rumored to attract urban legends of all kinds... What will happen when she joins the Occult Club? The long-awaited occult comedy from the creator of “Janji”, Kazuki Hiraoka!

Initial impressions:

  • Exceptionally clean and elegant art
  • Always happy to see more college-aged settings, especially in a shounen magazine.
  • Fairly funny, with a nice chuckle here and there.
  • Yokai are a bit oversaturated to say the least, but let's hope this doesn't become a demon exorcist manga

Overall, looks promising, it's releases are positioned well within the week so looking to reading this on the weekends!
