"Only alternative"? Lol. An #alternative implies that plenty of things will be different if you choose them.

No matter if #Biden or #Trump wins, the #USA along with its rival #imperialist power #China will still push us peoples living peacefully in #SoutheastAsia to #war. No matter whether it's blue that wins or red, the occupation of #Okinawa, #Palestine, and #SouthKorea will continue. No matter which fucking white old senile man you elect, #JenniferLaude and her family will not get the #justice they deserves after that bastard #Yankee soldier killed her in our own country. #NoMatterWho, my dear #Philippines will have to put up with your horrible fucking #foreignpolicy.

So is it really an "alternative"? ​:sagume_think:​

On the island of #Okinawa in #Japan, #Indigenous #HumanRights have become a rallying cry. It’s home to a #USmilitary base used by #Canada, a base that’s been a source of #conflict and #controversy for decades. Neetu Garcha recently travelled to Okinawa and spoke with locals about what they want changed.

Home/apt now - and the last 2 things I picked up shikuwasa citrus (at airport) and umi budo (sea grapes). My host at OIST mentioned the umi budo at dinner and said I'd get it at the airport but I found a shop selling #Okinawa sea stuff on my walk. Not to be refrigerated (they shrink)
These are very interesting - crunchy, pop & dissolve in mouth and taste like seawater and oysters

Japanese company wants to create a "nature-focused theme park" in Okinawa, and "plans to offer balloon rides and an attraction in which visitors will be chased by dinosaurs through the jungle while they ride in a vehicle." #ThemePark #Japan #Okinawa #JurassicPark https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/27/companies/katana-okinawa-park/?utm_term=autofeed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter#Echobox=1701208426

Dragon fruits arrived from my colleague's family who was born in Okinawa.
He shares half of these with me. 🐉
On the right is a cut section of a red dragon.

For years, the platform formerly known as Twitter has been the most popular for Japan’s municipalities to use when sending out natural disaster warnings. That might not be the case anymore. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/japan/2023/08/09/society/japan-prefectures-x-diasaster-warnings/?utm_content=buffera606b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #society #twitter #x #socialmedia #typhoons #kumamoto #okinawa #kagoshima

The progression, causes and effects of climate change have been measured by everything from multimillion-dollar satellites to the humble thermometer, but increasingly scientists — including a team in Okinawa — are turning to sound. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/04/21/wildlife/okinawa-sound-climate-change/ #environment #wildlife #okinawa #climatechange #oist #animals #forests #tech #birds
