New Read - Shuna's Journey
Shuna's Journey is a 1983 manga written by Hayao Miyazaki inspired by the Tibetan folktale "The Prince Who Turned into a Dog." This story follows a prince who is looking for grain to save his people and the hardships he faces along the way.
It's well done. Miyazaki writes the entire story out while simultaneously presenting the gorgeous artwork with aesthetics inspired by traditional Tibetan imagery.
It's a great take on a folktale.
Also, interestingly, the original Japanese release date is two weeks before my literal birth date. So, that's fun.

"Amazing. I'm living the great dream of my childhood, the scenes of kissing and embracing so often imagined and acted out. Where is the guilt I thought I would feel--and the love? The idea that going out with a boy is some kind of pinnacle of experience is definitely dead, almost laughable. Our two bookbags lie side by side in the grass, but a life together, forget it. For the first time I'm terrorized by the idea of marriage. I'm beginning to emerge, to disencumber myself."

This is the reality of the people of Gaza.
No real relief,

in reply to Vandacorp • • •No-go in the morning, but walking home—ah! the Maggies, where’s the young’un? Opened tool, selected scissors, then calmly went & picked up the near-helpless youngster.
Immediate cacophony from Magpies, swooping etc, but they realised *I was helping* and waited. Currawongs had heard the Mag panic and flocked in to assist, then Ravens also.
However when I’d finished snipping and carefully liberated the youngster, everything went OFF. Caroling Mags, triumphal cries from Currawongs, much Raven cawing—and wildly exuberant aerobatics from all three species.
One happy statistician then finished walking home. The Mags remembered me for several years.
