In the greatest honor I never could’ve imagined, I was chosen as what’s basically the equivalent of valedictorian （受領総代） for my graduate school.

Since when tf did homeless people become tourist attractions?

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

@usagi_matto Oh but wait… Himeji Castle is actually one of the tours included in this forum. 🙄

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

I’m gonna get in trouble for this, but…

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

@usagi_matto @hikosaemon @DashToTheTop The thing is - I originally came here to research civil society specifically because I held those same preconceptions and found that the deeper you delve, the more surprising reality becomes.

@hikosaemon @DashToTheTop Recently, during my bousaishi training, I learned Japan has the highest installation rate of AED machines and yet we comparatively suck at using them when actually needed in large part because of a lack of awareness that Good Samaritan laws exist here

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

@hikosaemon @DashToTheTop Some standing theories to explain the results include: interaction between different consciousnesses (the 3-helps, and political), political associations w/ Japanese NPOS, a contradiction in collective societies it’s more common to help an out-group member to avoid in-group shame

@usagi_matto 😂 I know exactly where this hotel is. This neighborhood is the first place I lived in when I moved to Kobe.

@am_kaz I leave snacks and dumbbells at my desk, and make on-campus coffee break plans with friends.

WHAT KILLED THE CRABS?

The official story is something like “a billion snow crabs disappeared.”

If that sounds fishy to you, keep reading. Let’s dive into the ecology, oceanography, & geopolitical history of the Bering Sea.

My queer brain hearing the negroni sbagliato meme. My adhd brain comprehending what was said a minute later and imagining what it tastes like.

@WhatHappensIn2 Honestly? I agree with you completely. I hope this helps local businesses, but it doesn’t seem like a long-term strategy. Because they do have us register our email, I’m hoping that at the end of the campaign, they’ll take the opportunity to contact us to gather that kind of data

For those of drinking age, now’s a great time to visit public baths, not just because of the changing season, but also because of OKTOBER SENTO FEST 2022. From now until the end of the year, some public baths are selling local craft beers. https://t.co/ueDpXCoO1X @Kobe_PRA #japan

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

It’s really simple. You just scan the the QR code at each participating bathhouse, fill out the form that appears, and show the staff the screen. (They may insist on pressing the send button themselves).

Have you heard about “#Kapooooon! Kobe!”? Because young people don’t visit public baths much anymore, this program is aiming to revitalize the industry by allowing college students to bathe for free (limited to the first 10,000). #studyabroad #神戸の銭湯　#銭湯巡り@Kobe_PRA

Did TwitchCon just outdo the ball pit at DashCon? 😬

The last time I went back, they had opened a grocery store near the elementary school, but we went several years without one in the entire city. (There were some within the zip code but those are in different municipalities and need transport from our city to access)

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

36, but my friend’s brother got shot just a block away, so…😬

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

Update. I just looked at why it calculated that score and 😂😂😂 it considers the beer distributor a grocery store.

[Bethany @mightydefsensei]

@Skt_Thomas Hope your symptoms are next to nothing and you recover ASAP
