@xabean Aw thank you! Yes check out her books. She is a researcher and not overly "self-help-y" that is why I like her a lot.

@litui Whoa. Interesting! I know as long as we live on this orb and benefiting from sunlight it is probably hard to eliminate time difference...but come on, some quantum physics or whatever people might be able to figure something out in, like 100 years?!?

@xabean I offer Brené Brown Book club to Japanese people. We read the books in English but discussion is in Japanese. We learn about embracing vulnerability, courage, shame resilience - all the things I find general public in Japan lacks....

今ブッククラブでめっっちゃやらかした。サマータイムが終わったので、北米の人たちが夕方6時開始だったのが1時間遅れますよ、日本の人たちは開始時間は変わりませんよって口を酸っぱくして言ってたのに、その反対だった。日本側で開始時間が1時間遅れて、北米側は変わらないんだった。メンバーさんに「今日はブッククラブないんですか？」って言われて初めて気がついた。こういう時、自分が馬鹿だなと思って恥ずかしくて隠したくなるけど、これがまさにブッククラブで学んでいること。恥ずかしいこと、Shameを隠すとさらにShameが増えるので、そういう時はシェアすることが大事。馬鹿な間違いをしちゃったけど、私は馬鹿じゃないって思えることがSchooolに レジリエンスなんだよね。＃ブレネーブラウン

I feel stupid and silly to have made this stupid mistake, but this is exactly what we are learning in the book club - when we feel shame, don't hide it or internalize it, but share with people. Be vulnerable. So there you go. I made a silly mistake. But I'm human and I'm not an idiot even though I almost felt like one. #shame #brenerown #ShameResilience

I just made a massive silly mistake - I offer book club at 6pm PST, and last week I told everyone those of us in N. America the start time will move 1 hour late and those in Japan the time will stay the same. It's the OPPOSITE. My Japanese book club members contacted me saying "It's 10am here, is the book club on?" and I realized my mistake. Ugh. I hate daylight saving and I hate international time difference more. I always wish someone invented some sort of magic to erase time difference.

@jlynnreed @JeffLieber I'm still new in the industry so this is very helpful. Thank you!

@JeffLieber This is very reassuring to know. Thank you!!

@Rachel_Thorn Right. I think this is common for anyone who writes in second/third language.

@JeffLieber Is it a bad idea to email production and tell them you have something to offer? Not to be cast- I'm a cultural consultant.

@Halca そうなんですね！私はシーズン5でニックに惚れ直しました? 全部見終わったら語りましょう！

@ocilam そのうちみんなミックスになりますよね。純日本人にこだわる人に言いたい。。。

@dee_carney Aww! I think you are right. I shouldn't try to be somebody else.

@JeffC1956 I'll check it out. Thank you!

Serious question. How can I be a more eloquent writer? English is my second language; I can speak/write well but in creative writing I hate how my writings sound like a child ? Too simple.

@likebutterbysatoko Salt bae思い出したw

少しずつ鳥を店じまいする準備してる。今日は鍵かけて、交流ない人を外していった。

@likebutterbysatoko 塩大事！

@whetstone Right. I think that one might have moved to accepted use? Not that I approve...but I use it too! It's like "literally" in English.
