I was on holiday last week, somewhere sunny and warm. I had a great time!

I was initially terrified of going out so femme in a foreign country I didn't know the laws or language of. And I did have a small breakdown over dysphoria the first day, but I got over that.

And then I blossomed.

• A woman in a big sunhat, a blue shawl, and a white dress with blue patterns on it gazing up at a tree. Her face is obscured by the hat. She is standing on a pathway in a verdant garden. She is framed by an arch of flowering plants. (remote)

It's interesting to see the delicate language they use to explain the situation to children, and it's really funny that they end the video with a segment showing off fan mail asking them not to cancel the show

• Screencap from the apology vid. It shows a corkboard with a child's drawing of several pokemon and "Please don't cancel Pokemon!" written in kana.

so has everyone seen the apology video from the time that the Pokemon cartoon accidentally set off photosensitive epilepsy in a bunch of viewers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDVDJYoMG0

Also, it is not a "Japanese fluency problem"... I've worked in 3 Japanese companies before, have a mortgage, etc etc etc.

They literally told me it's company policy.

The people I talked to were nice and understanding though and apologised.

So, Shinsei bank is running a promo that gives you 1.2% annual interest for a month if you open an SBI investing account at their store. 1.2% is nothing outside of Japan, but in Japan, it's huge.

Only catch: they don't allow foreigners to partake because foreigners can't open an SBI investment account in stores.

It's #FirstWorldProblems and probably peanut change at the end of the day (it's only for a month) but the principle of it annoys me, even after over a decade living here...
