How Just Like Mona Lisa uses speculative fiction to explore gender norms
The melodramatic coming-of-age story sometimes falls into fraught tropes about genderqueer people but also raises pointed commentary on the real worldโs many gender paradoxes.

I'm afraid I don't know the proper etiquette for alt text. What kind of alt text is best for an image that's only text? Should I copy and paste the text from the image into the alt text?

I've looked at a lot of resumes for aspiring translators and everytime I notice they have the relevant experience but they don't make it clear, meaning vendors are more likely to overlook them as potential freelancers.
Here's some resume advice if you're looking for freelance translation work.

Abstract: In this talk I explore the creative practices of Harajukuโs subcultures. Harajuku is a town in Tokyo that is a safe space for women, men and gender diverse people as early as the 1970s. Over recent decades, numerous KAWAII fashion subcultures have emerged in this district, each with their own specific conventions, aesthetics, purposes and intents including lolita fashion, decora fashion, yume kawaii, fairy kei, menhera. KAWAII is a significant cultural site for marginalized people to find collective safety and creatively work through their experiences and find a place of belonging. In the increasingly fractured social landscape of Tokyo, an eclectic group of artists, photographers, musicians, and designers come together in a constellation of spectacular bodies to play with KAWAII fashion. Their efforts are supported by underground queer feminist movements of Tokyo that protest, disrupt, and agitate through art, talk, and zine collectives in a blaze of shimmering hot pink. The talk considers the differing ways KAWAII is queered by these groups as an expression of dis/affection, in/dependence and a/sexuality. Queering KAWAII refers to a process of estrangement and de- familiarisation of cuteness as a form of hyperfemininity. As part of global queer femme cultures, hyperfemininity contaminates gender binaries, and exaggerates and pushes the parameters of patriarchal femininity as a form of disruption, experimentation, and reflection. Centred on the affective stories, fashion objects and garments and texts that KAWAII fashion practitioners create, this talk explores the social motivations, politics and ideologies of this subcultural movement. The talk traverses themes of marginality, vulnerability, and women and gender diverse peopleโs defiance in facing structural sexism, sexual violence, queerphobia, and ableism.

ๅฎฃไผ็จๆผซ็ป(่ฑ่ช) Hi there, everyone! My name is Yamauchi Nao. I was born in Japan in 1993, and I identify as non-binary and genderfluid. I currently make manga and live with my partner and our dog. Right now, I'm looking for publishers interested in publishing this book in languages other than Japanese. A book about fashion by a non-binary person living in Japan I love wearing a lot of vintage secondhand clothing, but I also wear other styles like lolita! Iโve also written some essays about my outfits and about being non-binary. Includes 5 essays, 2 comics, 4 columns and 62 illustrations If any of this sounds interesting to you, please spread the word about my book or contact me directly if you are interested in publishing it overseas! Email me at yamauchinaomanga@gmail.com I wrote this book to spread awareness about non-binary people and fight against stereotypes and discrimination. I hope youโll consider reading it and helping me get the word out!
ๅ ๅฎนใฎใตใณใใซ(่ฑ่ช่จณใคใ) โ November 9th 2013 My partner and I met some people at university and ended up having a wedding ceremony thanks to them. The only blood relative who came was my older sister. This is the special outfit I chose to wear at the wedding reception, although I actually wear it all the timeโฆ The KENZO pants are a little motheaten at the back, so I need to get them patched up. I love this outfitโs beautiful silhouette, and the complex embroidery on the jacket spices it up a lot.

ๅ ๅฎนใฎใตใณใใซ(่ฑ่ช่จณใคใ) โ April 22nd 2022 Itโs been a while since I participated in the Tokyo Pride parade. In an interview before the parade this year, one of the organizers opposed the use of the phrase โgive us our human rights.โ I was so shocked and sad that I felt like I had to do something, so I quickly slapped together a sign and jumped on the train. This is what we were wearing. It was rough being called โmaโamโ over and over again as I wandered the booths at Pride. I didnโt feel like I belonged there.
