This is gruesome and absolutely horrifying—an animation of the moment the atomic bomb dropped. I saw this movie (Barefoot Gen) in a Japanese film class in university, and this scene has stuck with me ever since.

Anza Borrego Desert 🔥 I decided to become an FPV drone pilot this year. It was incredibly windy & dusty on this trip (so it was a challenge to get stable shots), but I’m happy I got to capture some beautiful spots on foot & from the air. Totally worth all the sand & heat 💛

NEW CONCEPT VIDEO: I combined elements of cinematic storytelling with informational content. This video covers tips for effective online communication. The format is somewhere between “YouTube list video” and “lighthearted documentary.” Enjoy! WATCH: youtu.be/DN4iJvn2Pro

From concept to execution to post-production, I did every single step myself over the last 2 months. I upgraded my equipment, technical skills, workflows, and even my mindset a bit in the process, & I'm really happy with the result! I play 2 characters in the "subplot" ↓

What a Shock: Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot during a stump speech in Nara. Gun laws in Japan are incredibly strict, and gun-related crime is very low. Reports suggest a custom sawed-off shotgun was used. This is unreal. teapawt.net/nhk_news/status/154523…

If you've never seen where wasabi come from, check this out. Wasabi farmer Miyahara-san is based in Utogi, the birthplace of wasabi farming. In this clip, he gives a quick lesson on history and agriculture. Watch @ElementsOfJapan (Shizuoka) for more: youtube.com/watch?v=uiQZLiTV…

"Advice" and "advise" are commonly confused (for good reason). This video breaks down the differences and covers grammar and pronunciation. I also included a tip/mnemonic for the spelling difference. My advice is that you watch the whole video 😁 WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=kV7hNub8…
Alisha pointing and looking inquisitively. The text reads "Advice? Advise?"

I guess "imply" and "infer" get confused a lot because they can both be used when people are communicating indirectly...? Regardless, here's a 5-minute explainer video covering the differences (and some word history): youtube.com/watch?v=hSbiPKQ7…

Do you "refuse" or "reject" an invitation? Do you "deny" or "decline" a job offer? I made a 5-minute video that breaks down the differences between these 4 commonly confused verbs. WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=9mDeQ6Qh…

What’s the difference between “complete” and “finish”? I made a quick video to answer this question (and break down the differences between “complete” and “completed”). WATCH: youtu.be/K9DQK_FCsfI

A (European) friend who worked in a Japanese architecture firm convinced his colleagues to try discussion-style meetings. They participated, but commented that while it was “interesting,” they were concerned they were “wasting time.” Interview: youtu.be/hgjwJfbv51s&t=4m50s

Wow, yesterday I shared info about some illogical rules in Yoyogi Park, & today I find in some responses: - people informing me about the concept of “hanami” 😂 - conspiracy theories - anger about illogical rules in other countries Please go enjoy some sunshine, everyone ☀️

Yoyogi park with 4 friends today. There were officials circling the park all afternoon handing out notices (in ENG & JPN) asking people not to eat & drink there for the next 2 weeks. So, it’s okay to eat/drink in crowded bars & restaurants, but not outdoors? Where is the logic?

Groups were distanced from each other. People weren’t running around acting crazy. We were all simply enjoying our snacks, chatting, & minding our own business. There weren’t even flowers blooming today. How is this *seriously* considered a problem? Over bars and restaurants?
