@AliPlumb @AbroadInJapan I'm incredibly biased but Tottori prefecture is beautiful and the whole Sanin area has great hiking, sand dunes and food! And there's also Mizuki Shigeru road, the famous road filled with Yokai statues.

I find this stuff enthralling because it's such a great example of how modern people are not, in fact, smarter than medieval people.

@DubiousLab Being productive on your first day back at work then? ❤️❤️❤️

[Jon Combey @JonCombey]

Exciting news! I just started a new job last week with @RMGreenwich ! I'm doing exciting research on Project Unpath Co-designing and delivering digital content with maritime heritage :D(pictured my office in an 18th century brass foundry, if you're around Woolwich come say hi!)

[Jon Combey @JonCombey]

It's a Starbucks and Squishmallow kinda Saturday with @DubiousLab. ❤️❤️❤️

@manwithoutatan @ejnagouse I totally agree with this. I think another great answer would be "You" (As in the kids themselves). The idea of how important our own perspectives and how we see things from my study of Oral Histories, and how history is something useful and makes us who we are.

[Classical Studies Memes @CSMFHT]

10 signs a Twitter account is using Classics/History to lure people into their web of bigotry and misogyny:

1. Marble bust profile pic. Not always but surprisingly often. Such a tell!

[Jon Combey @JonCombey]

As someone who lived in Tottori-Prefecture having the sandshrews as our mascot was always so fun! Also we had some wonderful Pokémon manholes as well! (I can't find my picture, but our city was famous for leeks so that's why Farfetch'd is there!)

[Jon Combey @JonCombey]

@FincherAlison Yes! It's Matsuda Ken, I worked in his hometown in Japan, and went to one of his exhibitions . He's on twitter @keso230 and his website is https://t.co/7HBcnx90fU

[Jon Combey @JonCombey]

Like legitimately, imagine a story from the New York Times discussing UK politics using a photo of a wimpy bar as its background....

[Jon Combey @JonCombey]

To put into context for everyone, this is what London looked like in the same year as the photo (1978) by Dutch Photographer Ed Sijmons. The west's view of Japan can be so weird....

[Hannah Shepherd @hannahjshepherd]

The Daily Mail really needs to update their library images of Japan. This one was included in an article yesterday! Must be at least 30 years old?

[Transformation Sequence @sequencepod]

New episode of Hikikomori out on Patreon. It's the sour tale of an international vinegar magnate trying to gain custody of a baby for tax purposes, guest starring @JonCombey! https://t.co/ym9ex0EBaY

[Jon Combey @JonCombey]

It's #MuseumSelfieDay(yes this pic kinda breaks the rules) but got back from holiday with @DubiousLab & the best history experience ever. 1700 year old catacombs used for 500 years by Christians,pre-christian and Jewish peoples of Malta! #stpaulscatacombs #rabat #malta

Ever since I was told these good-old-days, Western fetishization Twitters with marble profile photos were fashy accounts meant to onboard people into white supremacy through “aesthetics,” I haven’t been able to unsee it.
