I am excited, I have enjoyed the games, I have enjoyed the original since 1997. I’ve lived with the negativity of this fandom for almost thirty fucking years. If y’all have the energy for it, that’s cute for you. I’m good.

Firefly Uemura Shōen 1913 Yamatane Museum of Art. Reaching upward to attach a green silk suspension cord, a young woman prepares a translucent mosquito net (kaya) on a humid summer evening in Uemura Shōen’s (1875–1949) masterpiece Firefly (Hotaru).

Rendered in delicate mineral pigments on silk, the figure stands barefoot, her body gracefully arched as she adjusts the vibrant vermilion border of the sheer green mesh. She wears an airy summer garment—a indigo-dyed yukata or light silk kimono embellished with crisp white pinstripes and deep blue daylilies—bound loosely at the waist by a soft salmon-pink obi. Her head tilts downward in a moment of quiet, focused pause, her gaze fixed upon a single, tiny firefly (hotaru) drifting near the lower hem, its faint amber glow illuminating the dim twilight.

Created in 1913 during the early Taishō period and housed in the Yamatane Museum of Art, the painting showcases Shōen’s revolutionary impact on bijin-ga (portraits of beautiful women). As the first female artist to be awarded the prestigious Order of Culture, Shōen transformed a genre historically dominated by male idealization into dignified, psychologically resonant studies of female interiority and daily life. The seasonal motif of the firefly—a classic symbol of midsummer in Japanese literature and art—evokes the traditional practice of hotaru-gari (firefly viewing), bridging domestic routine with an acute attunement to the natural world.

Aesthetically, the work relies on the delicate, interplay of sheerness and structure (miegakure). The diaphanous green gauze of the net veils her raised arm and shoulders, creating subtle layers of transparency that contrast with the crisp, calligraphic line work (sen-gaki) defining her hair and garment folds. The unpainted silk background (yohaku) envelops the scene in a cool, shadowy expanse, magnifying the quiet intimacy of the room.

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.

We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.
