I'm in awe of Palestinian birders who continue taking their binoculars and cameras out after their home became a war zone.
Even when it means risking their lives, they keep going because knowing the birds have returned another year gives them hope.

On Saturday, L.A. did its part to promote true freedom.
A new "New Orleans Corridor" highlights the often forgotten history of Black people who migrated to South L.A. starting in 1883, creating the largest Creole community in the U.S. outside Louisiana.

"Shonen manga is Japan's last bastion of spiritual development. I'm always inspired by it. Star Wars used to be about repentance & discipleship—yet Rey became the strongest Jedi despite having no training. How? Where is the process? Manga is all about process." @NaokiQYamamoto
