The weather is hot like an early summer past few days, where is the autumn? It's sad I can't feel seasonal atmosphere...(but fortunately autumn insects are still singing, their songs are truly inspirational). Climate change causes enormous disaster, and also erases smallest joy of feeling seasons.

Spending time in nature can do wonders for mental well-being. From a walk in the park to gardening or simply enjoying some fresh air, reconnecting with nature can help reduce stress and improve mood. This #WorldMentalHealthDay, if you have the chance, take some time to enjoy nature. 💚

It is truly messed up that unethical ones in power, while people who just desire peaceful life, and children seeking better education are exposed to violence.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... I'm sorry for sharing such disgusting news, but Hegseth & entire Trump regime are really the ones who "need to understand there’s serious consequences for these types of things". The letter "T" in United State of America stands for terrorism?

I bought Star anise for tea, the aroma is amazing! Refreshing scent resembles to citrus, but more warmer and cozier. I enjoy their aroma while working, but problem is...they're in plastic bag so it looks like, kind of suspicious😂 Fortunately I work alone, but maybe it's better to make sachet.

Red spider lily season is ending, that makes me sad, but leaves colours are changing. Beautiful autumnal tints season is approaching! It's interesting colour changing starts from the margin of leaves, as if they are dyed by autumn wind.

After the end of summer basil season, now I enjoy chai tea. It's really fascinating...especially in cold air in Autumn/Winter☕ I haven't drawn basil theme illustration yet, but I want to draw chai tea theme work too.

One sinful guilty-pleasure has been growing in the depth of my heart...I can't help but enjoying to watch "behind the scenes" BEFORE watching the movies themselves. It's...it is just too fun knowing about cool practical effects and passionate peoples's great works!😭

Finally! I saw first red spider lilies in 2026 in the last few days. Some of them are still buds. I was drawing red spider lily theme illustration as little celebration.

Japanese government tries to enact "Anti-espionage law" which is basically secret police in fascist regime. I feel it'd be incredibly stupid & contradicted law, such as they fully allow foreign networks such as Google, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok etc.

I hope Bluesky will add "long text" option in near future, I don't mind if they'd make it as a premium option. Sometimes I need to type a random long text, like the beauty of pine trees in the rain.
