On my way to Niigata/Sado Island!

I had the option of returning home towards the election last year and also chose not to.
Anyone with their eyes open and the means should be leaving.

More Tanuki!
5-10m from my back deck.

I guess, yeah. Not right at this moment though. Too early in the day now.

I have reached some sort of peak in my stay in Japan. There's a small forest behind my house.

Within it, tanuki.

Yes, I have already started naming them. This is Mario.
Also yes I'm taking suggestions.

I'm wondering when I'll be ordered back home for expressing my opinions.

Waiting for Trump to proclaim himself the new pope.

It's nice to see them giving Air Canada something to compete against. I liked West Jet whenever I flew with them. Air Canada on the other hand is infuriatingly bad.

Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) season in Yokohama.

Sunday Mofos
Praise Jesus and shit.

Or something

Fuck that other Mark

My walk back from lunch to work.

It's Friday, ya'll.

Riding the train in Tokyo now.

Sardines have it good.

I'm moving to Yokohama today and starting my new job as a Senior Geologist at a company in Tokyo on Monday.

Life is crazy.

I feel like Dory from Nemo...

Just keep posting, just keep posting, just keep posting...

Don't go back to X, don't go back to FB...

Keep strong

Fuck the fascists. Fuck the oligarchs. Fuck all of them.

Just keep posting...

It's the brown shirt, it's the armband. It's definitely that. Many of these people don't like the word 'nazi' they're just a fan of the ideology...

Yeah, it's gotten A LOT darker. Not just the news but my feed in general.

I'm more convinced than ever that this was a good move to BlueSky. I just wish more people would see it.

Back to Tokyo!

This whole new life and job is super exciting.

I have to remember to be continually grateful and not take things for granted.

Just thinking out loud here but...

Shipping from the American Midwest/Rust Belt (Duluth, Milwaukee, Chicago and also Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo) can occur from the Great Lakes into the Atlantic.

The only way around Niagara Falls is through the Welland Canal which is entirely in Ontario...

I gotta make this work. FB is so hard to leave with the groups and contacts I've made.

At the very least I have to spend less time there. Maybe this is just my social media nicotine patch.

But I just gotta keep it up and maybe the change will fully take.

Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen

There's nothing wrong with Bluesky but I didn't migrate from Twitter. I was never on twitter so it's format seems a little odd to me.

I'm trying to leave Facebook. MySpace is dead apparently but I have fond memories of it now. Remember having profile music? We've fallen so far

<insert 4 ads here>

Better now. I had to see a cancer doctor recently. I found out I don't have cancer which is fantastic.

The toilet picture just makes me think about how "eat shit" could be taken another way.

More random things in Japan.

Ok

I'm hoping this can replace FB for me.

Guess we'll see.
