I think in the language I’m speaking. If I’m doing something solo, I usually think in the language I learned the skill in.
Math, however, is 100% English unless I’m working in yen, then the numbers are Japanese but the math is in English.

To people who speak multiple languages what language are your thoughts in

I’ve had mine since the 90’s or early 00’s.
It’s still my primary e-mail. 🙃

Anyone else has a yahoo id ???

I’m curious because almost no one uses the textbook I used.
What Japanese textbook did you use as a beginner, or are using now?
I studied at the nearby college’s (not my college) continuing education language course and we used Japanese for Busy People.

@RaraSensei @_celia_bedelia_ I’ve worn a bikini, or at least some sort of two-piece, since I was little because I just don’t like wet fabric on my tummy. 🤷♀️
English
@_celia_bedelia_ “Don’t wear [thing], that’s what the patriarchy wants you to wear! You can only wear [other thing]!”
Like, that’s not freedom, that’s just exchanging one master for another. Everyone should wear what they want—that is true choice and freedom.
English
Then don’t wear one - sorry you hate your body, yourself, and cute bathing suits.
No one is forcing any woman to wear a bikini. There are millions of swimsuit options for women! That includes shorts! Body suits! Burkinis!
Acting like a bikini is humiliating just means you hate women
🗡 vixen · ❄️@waifuterf
@_celia_bedelia_ yeah i’m not falling for the morality debate bait. objectively bikinis are impractical and humiliating considering males are nowhere near as exposed in their swimsuits and theirs isn’t identical to let alone more revealing than literal underwear. (re-uploaded because of typos)

THIS.
Now I know some of you will be like “but we shouldn’t have to do all this extra work!!” True, but whining about it? Unproductive. Taking these steps? Productive AND can help nudge the way toward practices/systems that don’t inadvertently shut the foreign fans out.

My take as a music events organiser in Japan: if you want the industry to open up more to foreign visitors, the most important thing you can do is STOP BUYING TICKETS FROM PROXY SERVICES! You have other options!

SUDDENDESU@suddendesu
Hey here’s a hot take: Japanese media is made for Japanese people. Tickets to live shows and such are limited, and are intended for their domestic audience. Once you open up these limited seats to the world, suddenly the local fans can’t get seats. It’s that simple.

IVF update chain
If everything goes smoothly, we’ll return two embryos to my tummy the first week of June.
This will be our 4th embryo return procedure. Wish us luck.
I’ll have to feel awful all month because of the meds. 🫠
English
Didn’t think I’d be back here but here I am.
We gave up on infertility treatments.
And now I’m pregnant naturally for the first time ever.
I’m only at 6 weeks and I have no idea if Baby Candidate 3 will do better than its predecessors, but hey! Maybe we will have a baby.
English
Went to the lady’s hospital and got the results of our final IVF embryo return.
Negative.
I guess I’m finally retiring from infertility treatments.
Gonna continue my leave from work for a month or so to recover as I slowly ease back into regular life.

I'm 49 y.o. now, I think a lot about life. Since we don’t have child, those thoughts feel heavier. To be honest, I feel despair than hope. But I still want to leave something positive in this world, I don’t want to betray the positive spirit from my grandmother’s generation.

Tom Kane has sadly passed away at the age of 64.
He was the iconic narrator of ‘The Clone Wars’ series as well as the voice of Yoda & Admiral Yularen. He also voiced Professor Utonium in ‘The Powerpuff Girls’.

@StaRiverikebana @japantravelbug Not surprised.
My city’s big hanabi taikai by the river was always held in September until a couple of years ago. Now it’s in October because of the heat.
English
I was shocked last night!
The head of our neighbourhood association told me last night. Our local summer festival is being changed from late August to July 4th due to heat!
Of course kimono rules will eventually need to change as the planet continues to heat up.
やすひろ商人｜和装の声を集めてる問屋@yasu_kimono_
最近、 「もう浴衣着てもいいですか？」 をよく見かけます👘 おはようございます☀ 実際ここ数年、 浴衣自体を昔ほど大量生産する問屋も減っています。 理由はシンプルで、 夏が短かったり、お祭りが9月にずれたり 需要予測が難しくなったからです。 でも今年は、 5月でもかなり暑い日がありますよね☀️ そうなると今後は、 「夏祭りの浴衣」 だけではなく、 “暑さ対策としての軽い和装” みたいな需要も増えるのかもしれません。 逆に、 夏着物との境界は 少しずつ変わっていくのかもですね🤔

@fulltimerinjp The new museum is definitely worth visiting.
We also have a ton of castles. Combined with the ruins that spot the area, the castle density in the past was ridiculous. 🤣
English
@TheStarLi You are quite good at selling Gifu! Makes me want to go again. I walked around Sekigahara once, tried to go to the museum, but the buses of elderly came right before me and the wait was going to be a bit too long. Went to a small castle in Gifu prefecture once too… I’ll return

I’m feeling social today
If you had the chance to visit Gifu Prefecture, what would you want to see/do/eat etc?

Random thing that I sometimes think about: koi vs carp.
Most people in Japan are taught to call koi “carp” in English.
But in American English, a carp is ugly, brown-black fish. Koi, though they are a kind carp, are usually called koi.

English
So while both are scientifically carp, carp usually means the ugly, wild carp and koi means the decorative, carefully bred fish.
