The Wreck of the Linnea Hartsuyker

Oh man, I never get tired of people dumping on these dipshits. Have you read More Everything Forever by Adam Becker? He does such a good job and it's a good audiobook

I also waste very little food but especially no meat, and try to source it as ethically as possible. Not everyone can afford that part, but I think people who can, should.

Thanks for this thread!

I do eat meat and I completely agree. I've witnessed all parts of the process for ducks I've eaten and even done the honors for some fish. Being vegetarian is still the more moral choice, I believe, but if you're going to eat meat, you should be able to confront what you're doing.

I still love it, for my sins

A couple years ago I was in a US airport and heard a bunch of terrible Xmas music just a few words and notes off from real songs. You're right, it was terrible and only set to get worse

Almost empty train station concourse with lots of signs about getting to platforms.

Staff working to get a shop ready for the day's business.

Gooood morning from Kyoto Station, where we're at starting the long trek home.

There are roughly 120 Shinkansen trains between Osaka and Tokyo (via Kyoto) and I believe today's ride is the second of the day, leaving even before the station shops are open.

There are some Christmas carols that I used to love, and probably still like, except I keep hearing bad versions of them non-consensually

I hate that I hear Christmas music everywhere even in non-majority-Christian countries. Too much American and Christian hegemony!

Ughhhhhh

My official Brokeback Mountain poster was finally approved by the studios and will be released this Friday at www.codacurates.com/collections/...

Bummer. Click through for a review of that new Western

How to quit Spotify This Black Friday, here's a guide to finding the best Spotify alternative

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

My coach says he loves to teach people first on the erg before getting in the water for that exact reason

Maybe everyone needs some good deadlift or power clean coaching :/

I do feel like the movement is very similar, and there also, setup matters so much because it puts the body in the right sort of tension

90% of my coaching is about the setup because then the stroke tends to take care of itself.

Does your team cue to hanging off the oars? In a video my coach said he could see me rising up from the seat on the stroke and that was good. I feel like it's hard to open too early if you're hanging

People are so weird about money like it's this moral thing, not something people need to survive! Hope they hear you 💜💜💜

Ever since 2020 and the COVID lockdowns this has come back for me. Getting better with good friends but yeah, I get it. Weird trick of the brain

I read the first one and thought it was great, but I was super interested in the African Theater of the war and didn't read the rest of the three. Good luck and godspeed

I'm so sorry, and that he will be missing this holiday season 💜

Picket lines will happen from 7am-2pm at the stores in Epping, Stratham, and Seabrook (570 Lafayette Road, NOT 271 Lafayette Road). Stratham and Seabrook are particularly in need of people. Please share this with friends or anyone you think might be able to make it out!

The first day of Starbucks strikes in New Hampshire is tomorrow, and they want as much community support on picket lines as possible for the first day.

It's good but made me (even more) furious and not hopeful so, beware

And forcing us all to watch and getting mad when we don't think it's the most important, insightful thing

Porque no los dos? But consequences first, mfers!

Sounds amazing

Ah, I like that idea in theory but they do not make many garments in Korea or Japan for a woman of my quarterbackian proportions

And even then only with constant supervision from a human tutor which is not at all how these systems are marketed

Kyoto weather prediction 10 days ago: highs in the mid 60s, lows in the mid 40s

Actual Kyoto weather: flurrying, lows in the low 30s, highs in the mid 40s, wimdy

Guess what I packed for!

Illustration of a woman whose face is part covered by her icy hair. One eye glows in her face and behind her are icicles.

In #JapaneseFolklore tsurara onna are #yokai also known as icicle women. When lonely single men gaze at icicles during winter, they admire their beauty and wish for a wife just as beautiful. Soon after, this yokai will appear, presenting as an ordinary woman.
