❥ I am happily married! 
❥ I am a 🐈 #cat mom to 3 and a 🐶 #doggo mom to 1 very crazy #whippet. I will likely be posting a lot of pictures of my #cats Saria, Majora, and Link, along with the occasional Mabel picture.
❥ I am a Linux Server Administrator. 
❥ I currently live in Arkansas in the US, but I'm trying my hardest to relocate out of the South for obvious reasons. 
❥ My memory is absolutely terrible, can't really recall a majority of my past. 
❥ I’m reasonably confident in my programming ability; my projects are often less so. 
❥ Took a 🇯🇵 #Japanese language course in high school only to forget it all the next year. Currently working on relearning what I've forgotten.
❥ Use to be super involved with 🎭 #theatre. I was in a mime troupe in high school; I learned mime stuff, stilt & ball walking, small bit of 🤸 acrobatic stuff, diabolo stuff. I was active on stage and behind the curtains for several shows throughout high school and college. My social anxiety has mostly put an end to that chapter of my life, though.
❥ In my free time I'm either tinkering with my 
#homelab, watching 
#jellyfin or youtube, 
reading #manga or #webtoons, 
playing video games (sometimes on #Twitch), or taking 📸 pictures of my cats.
Feel free to add me, I enjoy meeting new people!

I'm looking for good resources to learn about the radicals in #Japanese kanji. I.e., not whole kanji, but rather the component parts.
I don't want to memorize kanji. I don't want silly mnemonic devices. I don't want to look up kanji by radicals. I want to learn about the history, function, sound & evolution of radicals.
Can anyone recommend books, websites, apps, anything?
I know they exist but they're hard to find via search engines.
Thank you for recommendations. 1/2
Keeping in mind that I'm chronically ill and have very little brain juice for learning new things, so I need something easily digestible that I can absorb in tiny bits and at my own pace:
Anyone have any good recommendations for ways to learn Japanese casually, online/remotely?
(That aren't Duolingo, of course)
From a podcast " #Japan has one of the longest lived and healthiest populations in the world, and let #Japanese startups are playing a relatively small role in the recent #longevity- #tech boom."
Could it be because tech has nothing to do with longevity in Japan? That it's actually lifestyles, healthcare, & traditional diets that matter?
Couldn't that be the lesson here?

AshmoleanAdvent Day 13: Chestnut #Netsuke.
Until the 19th century #Japanese citizens wore a kimono, fastened by an obi (sash). Small personal items such as purses, pipes or medicine containers were hung from the sash by silk cords. The cord was threaded through a bead, or ojime, then tucked behind the kimono sash and secured with a small ornamental toggle or counterweight called a netsuke.

I just got a new #Japanese #WoodblockPrint, and even though it’s small, it’s absolutely beautiful. I love its contrastive colors 😍
I don’t know its full background, but from the style I’d guess it’s a #SōsakuHanga piece, probably from the #Shōwa era.

This is “tagtype,” a keyboard designed explicitly for the Japanese language. A relic from 2004, now at MOMA indefinitely.
Japanese uses fifty syllabic characters that can be written on a matrix of ten consonants multiplied by five vowels. This is a Qwerty approach to that formula. It was also built for accessibility, in construction and use.
Designer: Kinya Tagawa.

I thought it would be easier to find a non-white #transgender #translator of #Japanese to English on here, but when I asked a few weeks back I got nothing but crickets. Surely there is someone on here who fits that description? The pay is pretty good by contemporary standards of #manga #translation! Drop me a line! Connect me with your friend/acquaintance/colleague who fits this description! Anyway, please boost! #BIPOC #Black #Brown #Indigenous
