If there is one clear lesson in Japanese folklore, it is "Never trust a beautiful woman that approaches in the mountains."

That's a yokai.

This #ukiyoe print depicts a scene with a man playing a biwa, enjoying autumn colors on Mt Miyaji. A beautiful woman appears and sings to him. Then she shapeshifts into a monstrous #yokai, says she is Suijin (a water kami) then disappears.

Can confirm. We raised goats. We ate those goats.

Every now and then a goat you loved and named would be a carcas hanging from the barn roof.

And tasted delicious.

cw: animal death

if you wanna know why I am the way I am I think stumbling across the gory mutilated remains of one of our lambs that got eaten by coyotes spread all out under a tree in the forest when I was 5 is probably part of it and that's the energy I'm bringing to this book

Had the joy of reading @keezyyoung.bsky.social's HELLO SUNSHINE, one of the best graphic novels I've read all year. It brings an essential perspective on horror fiction and mental health, and I can't recommend it enough.

I have zero friends from school or college.

And they don't need to be long term friendships. Casual buds are just as good.
