@iankenway The image gives me the chills, but I still should thank you for the posts, Ian. 👍

* Editor's Note : This blog post is being prepared to celebrate the research work of our fellow QOTO.org user Chikara, @chikara , who has been sharing the fruits of his curiosity and study of the evolution of Technology, Arts and Science in Japan.

I had meant to suggest to him that his posts would look wonderful in a Blog format, and be preserved, made easier to find for anyone interested in following them.

Upon seeing his post of the Prussian Blue history, and the beautiful gravure of the Great Wave, I knew the moment was now.

Thank you, Chikara, for sharing with us all of your findings.

チカラ、私たちとあなたの調査結果のすべてを共有していただきありがとうございます。

A reminder, we still have a few days left for anyone wishing to nominate a Qoto.org user for a Moderator position now open.

Having been nominated to the post, I wrote my views of what this important job includes.

See it on my new blog post: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/qoto-moderator-nomination-process-notes

Oh, you will see crazy things like that. It's worse in Australia, from what I heard from cyclists who traveled there.

Have seeen this kind of incident. Heard about people cycling having objects thrown at them from passing vehicles.

Pick up truck drivers are the worst.

"My personal warning to you if ever you choose to use pirate Bay for whatever thing... Please for the love of Pete to use a VPN. Personally I prefer boxpn.com because they have really good customer support... And they're not expensive... And they are backed by hackers... But whatever service you use please if you're going to stream from pirate Bay please please please use a VPN to a country such as Switzerland where it is not illegal.

@design_RG@twitter.activitypub.actor Clarification, post above done at birdsite due to annoying spam and chatter from a group of people attending a uni conference and invading the #Slowly tag, which is used simultaneously by different groups.

Sent a message to them, hopefully. #sarcasm #noise #slowly is for #writers

#slowly is getting a lot of eager participation, maybe people not realizing the hash tag is used by various groups, interests.

Thankfully the MUTE button will quiet the chatter.

Yey, better now. #spamoff

No feelings were harmed on the production of this tweet.

@maison_faim ...Make a note of it, but where is the paper... and pen...

@realcaseyrollins You can see some of the content, but not all of it, as an anonymous user.

Some areas are just for logged in users, including a #Book Lounge.

@realcaseyrollins Not at the moment. I asked @freemo that, if possible.

You need to create an account there, username and email, verify email and you are all set.

Worth doing, and if we get more people using it can be very handy -- Content stays put into a thread, you can link to it from mastodon if needed.

Cool Badges we get for participating in our #Discourse Forums right here at QOTO.org...
