Cuomo conceded!! I think no publications can call the race because it's ranked choice voting, but like, realistically, nobody else can really run up on Mamdani, I think. This is so good.

Modern kimono outfit put together by Misamaru. Pants are comfy monpe (Billy Matsunaga has a video on how to make one, see below) and top kimono seems to be a repurposed mofuku (mourning kimono) cut short.

OP stresses they sometimes received DM staying “you shouldn’t cut kimono” or things like that. I personally strongly disagree: kimono are clothes and are meant to be worn. If repurposing gives them a second life: it’s GREAT. This has been done historically for centuries: stained/old kimono would be made into juban, haori, or mompe for example. Even silk threads were reused to make beautiful temari balls.

I am not super fond of seeing obi used as table runners or whatever, but let’s be honest: it’s always better than throwing them away (in Japan, it’s not unusual to have old kimono and obi throw in the trash because people simply don’t know what to do with them…).

Circular fashion is fashion, let’s give it the love it deserves :D

no animal was harmed during the making of this video. not one. for the few minutes that we were shooting film, the guns of each hunter fell silent. the industrial bolt throwers observed a moment's peace and the jaws of every predator hung softly open. no fish bit any hook and the bait worms held off on drowning only until the cameras stopped. the tails of ruminants ceased to flick just as their attendant flies, in unison, landed on their flanks to catch their tiny breaths. a spider instantly stopped winding silk around a wasp, patiently waiting for the caesura to end. a young veterinarian paused with the syringe in their hand. somewhere, a colicky baby stopped biting its mother's nipple and nursed happily for the very first time. we're sorry. we're sorry it couldn't have been longer. we didn't know this would happen.
