The wax gourd in the forest that you said looked like a squid!
They used to be raw squid, but when I went to the forest today, they were "grilled squid"!
🤭ᔦꙬᔨ

Close-up photo of wintersweet berries. Squid? Or is it an octopus? Anyway those berries are brown and look riper than they did at the beginning of spring.

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I want to recommend Japanese-American Kishi Bashi’s song film “Omoiyari.”

It’s described as “a musical journey to understand WWII era Japanese Incarceration, assimilation, and what it means to be a minority in America today.”

The film is streaming on Paramount+ and the record is available on most platforms. Both are amazing.

@timdesuyo I read somewhere that you could be sued (in Japan) if you don't blur people's faces when you take their 'candid' pics in Public. Maybe ONE DAY I'll go to #Japan, so I want to know.

  1. Not being a stickler.
  2. Internet results and comments are often open-ended, so I'm just curious.

I see the #TheBeforeTimes tag but still curious about the laws nowadays.

Uh oh. The ambitious European-Japanese BepiColombo mission to Mercury has experienced a worrisome "glitch" in its thrusters.

Engineers are scrambling for a fix so the spacecraft can enter orbit around Mercury late next year, as planned.

BepiColombo got some enticing previews of Mercury during its 2021 flyby of the planet.

These images come from the spacecraft's little monitoring camera. The real ones (assuming the spacecraft pulls through) will be far more spectacular.

I hate being the one saying this, but people going to Japan and expecting to see Ninja are a bit naive.

They're ninja. If you could see them, they'd be bad at their job and be fired (and they wouldn't be ninja anymore.)
