Grande dia! 👍

In Finland yesterday.

I thought I love travelling but after 6 weeks of travel and work I can’t wait to go back to Japan 😭

✅ added Brazilian language support ❌ removed Portuguese language support Rockstar recognises Brazilian sovereignty

Hating so much the recent trend where I find some interesting artist, go to their Instagram profile, and all their posts are reels of them talking and painting. I just want to see finished pieces???

I’m a woman, 30 years old. PhD in Engineering, university professor at an ivy league university in Japan, speak 4 languages, lectured in 7 countries, 10s of publications. What enabled me to do all that was playing videogames and engaging with the community.

Testing new paper for charcoal and pastels.

Thinking about the time Yuji Naka (creator of Sonic) replied to one of my tweets while I had the same header picture that I still have.

Beat the Enemy to Death, a painting by rock star Viktor Tsoi (1980s).

I went to school once and liked it.

Recently found out that my hate for networking (why would I need to “befriend” someone I am not personally interested in just to have them as a work connection? Sounds like using people) is a very autistic trait and yep, that checks 🤓

Had a “character creation” workshop at work and basically made an Amazon from the Amazon.

The TV you watch passively, the computer you use for some contact with other people, and the phone was made for contacting and connecting people.

Currently building parasocial relationships with my AliBaba manufacturing lady.

Then there’s me, the most awkward person in social situations in Brazil, and in Japan everyone says I’m a natural speaker and extrovert 😭
