So, I’ve copied this poem and will post in full. ‘For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been. Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature. What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity. You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.’ #RIP #ReneeGood #USPol npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 thanks for the link. A beautifully done site and the history of the names of the colours is a bonus. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 2026 is going to be busy. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 Wow! that’s very fine work. When you mentioned the lining it reminded me of the torii gates found in many Shinto shrines. I looked up the name of the color and it is known as ‘shu-iro’. Fushimi Inari Taisha has a path lined with 10,000 of these gates. I took this photo today. #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/830/572/316/747/920/original/62f1a9fcab29b887.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #FensterFreitag #Photography #Monochrome #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/825/979/134/846/342/original/9211ee8d427e0488.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 To people living in Japan: What system do use to phone family in Britain? I use FaceTime to talk to my Mum but she’s in a Care Home and can get confused if there are technical hitches. If I needed to call Care staff in an emergency I’d have to use Docomo’s mobile or landline services which works out at over a pound a minute. Docomo used to have special deal on up to two dedicated international numbers but that system stopped some time ago. Any advice or recommendations welcome. #Japan #Help npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 Happy New Year, Clay! Peace. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 and with you, Clay. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 None, and we live on a hill. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 Breakfasted and enjoying blue skies after two days of rain. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 Happy Christmas, Clay. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 The other day I heard that the Danish Post Office is to cease delivering letters. It marks the end of 400 years of service. My wife said that this year she didn’t want me to design our New Year greeting card which we’ve sent to family and students since we opened our school in 1998. The price of post cards we print on has become prohibitive, so we’ll buy ready made cards for whoever sends to us and send ‘Line’ greetings to others, as is increasingly the practice in Japan. I stopped sending Christmas cards to relatives some years ago. It looks like this is the way for more and more people. This year we have received two. That is an observation and certainly not a complaint. #Christmas #SeasonGreetings #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/767/052/181/983/795/original/b57108882b836ff4.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 serious fringe! npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 ‘Round up the usual suspects.’ npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 great work, Jim.

Sounds like a complaint. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 lovely views (that pier!) and observations. I learned this the other day.

Does your daughter draw free hand or does follow recognised patterns? npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #FensterFreitag #Photography #Monochrome #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/705/604/499/817/649/original/2d5591536a5d5d5b.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 draws you in beautifully. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 good that your friendship weathered that. I think people, and I include myself can have mixed feelings about the whole institution. From an interest in the panorama of characters, castles and stories stretching back over the centuries, (history is endlessly fascinating) to a recognition of their role in doing good things (support in times of national turmoil, encouragement for charities and youth groups etc.) to a tiredness, exasperation, disgust even at the use of public funds, the entitlement, the behind the scenes manipulation of elected representatives to fashion laws in ways which entrench their already ample privilege. This isn’t what a forward thinking society should be maintaining as we approach 2026. People are sick of the rich acting for themselves at the expense of the vast majority. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 Yup. Waste of space. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 I take it the royal box was vacant. Your party didn’t consider stretching their legs? npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 £37 to see a band you like is a bargain. To be able to watch in comfort is quite a thing. Edit: price adjustment. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #MonochromeMonday #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/644/884/141/187/659/original/a3fa17d43ae59ada.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 It was a thoughtless decision based on budgetary concerns, but at least they recognise the error and offer to nurture any saplings which emerge.

Do you have a cutter for the hearts? npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 I walk to work through a park which traces the course of a narrow, shallow river. Park staff keep the river banks mown, reinforce stretches carried away by storm water, thin out bamboo groves and prune its many varied trees. This was one of my favourites. It stood alone in a flat grassy area with a backdrop of bamboo which rendered the tree a sort solo performer on a stage. I’ve admired and photographed it for some years. The first photo was taken in 2022, the second on Monday and the last this morning. It looked healthy. It was demonstrably a thing of beauty. If the City has plans for the area you would hope they accommodated the tree, but apparently not. Mystifying. Today, as I finished surveying the damage a woman approached and we got talking after I pointed to what had happened. I showed her my photos and she was as shocked at the event as I, but in a stroke of luck she said she was either the Head or a member of the neighbourhood association and would be ringing City hall to ask for an explanation. She said she’d leave a message near the stump when she’d heard from them. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/616/532/637/584/288/original/18729cedf643aa56.jpeg https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/616/535/475/350/351/original/e262832c528ec182.jpeg https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/616/538/756/675/635/original/19642be5212004d7.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #Photography #Monotone #Rain #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/610/642/511/935/465/original/4b18ea4f1d1cc7e9.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 good grief.

It was prompted by this, the link to which my sister sent when she wished us a happy anniversary. http://youtube.com/post/UgkxOJ7mTqCSDUrUTQuIQvQCxF_ks5Ts8T_Y?si=mBkHrYwHmMulIeMM #Anniversary npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 First real signs of autumn. #WalkingToWork #Japan #Photography https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/448/762/799/635/541/original/9c721f456d10f5ea.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #MonochromeMonday #Photography #Japan #Festival https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/406/712/329/220/395/original/73fa638d3066b662.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #SilentSunday #Photography #Bloomscrolling #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/400/418/902/398/834/original/529bb7e1a104dd8e.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 are 98 and 243 significant? npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 with you too. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #MonochromeMonday #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/287/809/772/863/486/original/965ad1b5b02d7897.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #SilentSunday #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/281/803/827/740/971/original/8fe7aef92730c31e.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #FensterFreitag #FediversalPictures #Photography #Japan Edit: spacing https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/229/827/977/879/438/original/b9b0d170550e86d2.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 no excuse necessary. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 oh my! npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #SilentSunday #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/203/112/575/975/845/original/a13992476b921289.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 that is superbly caught. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 good news! npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 and you, Clay. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #SilentSunday #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/163/096/780/140/190/original/954ed25b7dbe2440.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/157/281/251/999/499/original/9c8902ec8458961b.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #FensterFreitag #Monochrome #Photography https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/112/333/136/510/287/original/8ae9139879ec5ed3.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 cling doggedly to number 6. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 number 21 … https://www.openculture.com/2025/08/21-rules-for-living-from-miyamoto-musashi.html npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 can’t help but look at many of these exhibits and fear that they are ripe targets for the Project 2025 ideologues. npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 #SilentSunday #Monochrome #Photography #Japan https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/081/248/308/342/384/original/f38a889321d58f95.jpeg npub1m5vcrvv9ydw8rpq3j7pvefn86dnyanlv2dumlxejrvr4u8mm8esqr8jc0s Will 🇯🇵 well, well.
