I was lucky enough to catch this wonderful taiko drum performance last night. It included Fushu Daiko (South Florida), Japan Drum Club - Wako Daiko, Wadaiko Daigen Gumi and Taiko Shonin Medetai (all the way from Japan). Such fun, strength and artistry!

Thought I’d be tired from the marathon of panels I attended for Flights of Foundry but instead I was weirdly productive & inspired & have so many amazing book recs I think this account will just be me reading them & telling you guys what I think until the end of time. Sound good?

What a beautiful, heartbreaking story. 🔭💔🌜🌊

I once asked the amazing Margaret Atwood what the hardest part of writing was for her. Rejection, she said. Just a reminder we all deal with it, even our idols. And why no this repost is not because I got 2 rejections this weekend. 😂 More on that talk: jamiemboyd.com/blog/handling-…
