Hello, everyone. Hope all the students out there are enjoying their Spring Break (I certainly am). Since it's Women's History Month, I thought I'd give a few interesting facts.

Jin Xing (1967 - present) is a Chinese trans woman who knows five languages, and she's a famous ballerina, modern dancer, choreographer, actress, talk show host, and owner of the Shanghai Jin Xing Dance Theatre, which is a contemporary dance company. She's also famous for being outspoken in her contempt for a trend in Chinese media to try dramatizing and exploiting people's pain. She does amazing work in China, so I certainly recommend checking her out if you're at all interested.

Ada Lovelace (1815 - 1852) was the first programmer. At 17, she speculated that the "Analytical Engine," a very rudimentary computer, could potentially do more than just basic mathematical functions.

Katherine Johnson (1918 - present) is an African-American woman who plotted the trajectory for the Apollo 11 flight to the moon and for Mike Shepard, the first man in space. Now that she's retired, she teaches at a university and encourages her students into pursuing the science and technology fields.

Ellen Ochoa (1958 - present) became the first Hispanic woman in space. She flew on the Discovery for a nine-day mission, and later became the first Hispanic and second woman to be the director of NASA's Johnson Space Center.

I haven't even scratched the surface of the contributions women around the world have made. If you've got the time, I absolutely recommend taking a look at what countless other women have done and are doing. Their hard work shouldn't be forgotten or overshadowed.

Lemon Leaf is closed for the whole day today, and will also be closed all of the 19th.

On another note, does anyone know anyone called Mori-sensei? Tall, Japanese, brown hair pulled back.
[ Memory regains he's been wondering over since he got that cat plushie.

And usually, Koutarou never has the atelier closed for a whole day. But he needs some time to himself that is not painting. (And some people might know that today is Koutarou's 29th birthday.) That's not to say that people can't encounter him during that time. ]

Two questions for Beta Squad.
  1. Have you had Retrospec deliver anything to you that didn't feel like it was yours?

  2. Has anyone tried returning things to Retrospec?
For the record, if you received anything that had a tag of Yuri's Angels attached, no, I didn't send it, no, I don't want it, no, I'm not a spy, no, I don't have a fanclub, no, it isn't a freaking religious affiliation and no, I don't have a secret admirer at Retrospec anymore than I have an explanation for why this happened.

Anyone who feels like trying a return lmk.

Edit: Anyone else named Yuri please contact me ASAP, tyvm.

I received this from Retrospec this morning in the mail. I think there's been a mistake in addresses or something since I don't think I've ever owned this before. Is somebody looking for this necklace? It's lovely and all but there's something about this that makes me feel a little eerie.

[When you wake up on this fine morning and check your Retrospec feed, you'll find... Russian spam? It begins - ]

Доброе утро. Меня зовут Аня. [ - and it continues on from there, resulting in a full paragraph.

For anyone who can read Cyrillic, they'll find the following message: Good morning. My name is Anya. Is anyone able to understand this? I recognize it as Cyrillic, as Russian, however I don't recall ever being able to speak this language. I woke up and suddenly it's all I knew. If the people on here remember horses, maybe they remember me speaking differently? Properly? Maybe? Please let me know.

In an entirely separate text, she tries again. In two more languages.]


おはようございます。私の名前はAnyaです。わかりますか?これは日本語です。でも昨日でAnyaは日本語を話しません。

[ - and that also goes on. An English message, with the same approximate fluency level as the Japanese, to explain the whole situation is finally provided at the end. Third try's the charm?]

good morning. my name is anya. i am sorry to try again but i am confused. today i know how to speak russian and japanese. the russian is easy but the japanese is harder. english is also harder now. even though yesterday i only spoke english?

??? why?

if the people here remember horses do they remember the anya that did not know russian? please help. please. thank you.


+ action options! )

[ ooc: anya's regain was her canon language tick! an example can be found here! complete with sprinkles of Russian and accent. an additional note is that if you hover over the different alphabets, the exact translation should come up! AND FINALLY, Anya's hair used to be the lightest shade of the blonde in the world - and now it's gone full silver, but that's the least of her problems.]

There wasn't possibly any documentary or movie about Mt. Vesuvius or Pompeii in any tv channel on today? For some reason I dreamt about going on a tour around the entire crater and it was very vivid even though I have never been there, so I thought maybe there was one that I can't find on the online tv tableau that I found.

They are cute, the chocobo chicks, but it feels a little sad that so many people seem to have forgotten about #horses and their #foals.

I was asked if they are some form of weird deer among other things.

((ooc: 1 & 2; pretend they're sketches, I just couldn't resist using these since they're so charming.))
