I resurrected my Negasonic Teenage Warhead costume for Halloween! Was great to get out to Dupont Circle and enjoy the evening. Most folks knew it was X-Men, but one person thought it was fantastic four. 🤦 Had to give the “Deadpool” clue a few times, and sad I didn’t see one. Also found a Labubu! 😅

Happy Halloween!! I voted today and they had a special limited edition sparkly Halloween “I voted” sticker!!🤩❤️ Way to rock the vote, @arlingtonva.us ! And if you haven’t yet, please vote! We need you! 💪

Rift is snickering as they have their hand around an anatomy skeleton’s shoulder. They are wearing a UA hoodie. A yoga studio is in the background.

Halloween week costume #3 - UA high student, for Japanese class and yoga! Too fun! Having fun with the last My Hero Academia season and this was a great casual cosplay.

Pictured is Rift as Yuji, standing with one foot on a stage and same side arm on that raised knee, looking confident.

Rift is wearing the Yuji costume and is holding a pint of beer in front of a screen showing the “Ancient Terrors of the Night” title slide.

For Halloween week, cosplay #2 was Itadori Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen, and I went to a really fun @profsandpints.bsky.social lecture on the history of ancient terrors! (First pic by michisweets photography at Otakon 2024)

Shown is Rift as Iron Spider-Man in three photos: sideways on a beam, web slinging, and relaxing with mask off and hands behind head.

It’s spooky week! Costume #1 was a rehash of cosplay yoga at Sun and Moon as Spider-Man! Have you seen this Spidey? (Spiderman pics by MichiSweets Photography at a con years past)

Pictured is Rift seated cross-legged with hands on knees, fingers up in a mudra. A pebbled wall is behind them.

Join me at Sun and Moon Yoga on Wednesdays @ 545pm for Hatha 1 (all levels) classes in Arlington. Options available for financial support.❤️

I drew myself as a snom mom with slowpoke and chaotic tandemaus ~ there’s also 2 hidden pokemon in here too. Can you find them?

Pictured is Rift as Small Might, in the classic “hero landing” pose: crouched with one hand on the ground and the same side leg outstretched. The other arm rests on their knee. They are in a dark alleyway.

Ahhh so excited for season 8 of My Hero Academia! 😁Pictured is my cosplay as Small Might / All Might at Otakon, photo by the lovely @j-nhi-photography.bsky.social!

Pictured is Rift standing with their arms crossed, with a white crop top and red kimono-inspired pants. The pants are slit and Rift’s left leg is showing, making the pose appear strong and confident.

Pictured is Rift as All Might in the red and blue Silver Age body suit, with arms crossed and a smile on their face. A blue cape with red inside is billowing behind them.

I cosplay the hero form of All Might (Silver Age) from My Hero Academia too! I made the wig, cape, and belt.

Plus Ultra! I am a cosplayer and crossplayer, and teach yoga as part of the Cosplayin Yogis! Pictured is myself as Small Might /All Might at Otakon, photo by the lovely @j-nhi-photography.bsky.social! This wig was possibly more challenging than the Hero form! 😅

A digitally painted fanart of Kpop Demon Hunters. Rumi, a Korean pop star in her early 20s, stands under a yellow umbrella in the pouring rain outside a glowing corner store. Next to her is the silly blue tiger derpy, sitting in the wet street with no umbrella. The tiny, six-eyed bird Sussie sits on top of Derpy's head with a tiny red umbrella. The colors skew toward a glowing magenta.

The top 1% now owns more than $54 trillion in wealth.

That’s 468 times more than the bottom 50%.

One man — Elon Musk — owns more than the bottom half COMBINED.

This is what I mean when I talk about oligarchy.
