		<description><![CDATA[This post has nothing to do shōjo manga, manga, comics, or even Japan (per se), but, hey, it&#8217;s my blog and I&#8217;ll do what I want with it. Sorry. I grew up, initially, in an &#8220;ordinarily&#8221; religious household, attending services weekly at the Lansdale Methodist Church in Pennsylvania.

I see a Tweet that accuses some guy who calls himself &#8220;Van Renselar&#8221; of plagiarizing from my favorite photographer, Zhang Jingna.
