A particularly gruesome yokai I did for drawlloween a few years back. The Sagari are apparitions of a horses head which drops down from trees on travellers. They are the souls of horses that die on the road and are discarded and left to rot where they fall.

    @blockforest @goudsward I got a kick out of this entry in Wikipedia. "Seaweed burning to create what was known at the time as kelp began on Stronsay in 1722. The product – soda ash – was an alkali mainly used to treat acidic soil, although as time went on its commercial importance in soap and glass manufacture increased. The pungent smoke emitted during the process was believed to enrage the nuckelavee, resulting in a wild rampage of plague, the deaths of cattle and the destruction of crops."

    Using DocuSign is becoming as pervasive as PDF. Problem is, the accessibility is terrible: scanned documents that won’t read with a screen reader, or unlabeled fields, or inaccessible field types, or the UI where you must draw your signature or pick premade styles, etc. Except, this is legal documents, and everyone from vendors to real estate attorneys to banks are requiring we use this.

    ShadowPlay,
    @ShadowPlay@nerdculture.de avatar

    @bryansmart Does DocuSign have accessibility tools? I know people complain about using the tools, but they aren't rocket science -- and worth the time it takes to make a document accessible to everyone!

    Just watched this week's Strange New Worlds. Another / reference? NOT a coincidence. My money is on there being more revelations that will firm up the connection!
    "On the season two finale of Star Trek: Picard,Opens in new tab modern-day scientist Adam Soong (Brent Spiner), while going through his desk in a mad rage, discovered a manila folder with the words “Project: Khan: 1996” written on it. "

    @Afterpants, I look forward to discussing some of these essays with you.
    "Deep Cuts in a Vein is a review site, dedicated to examining some of these lesser-known works of the Mythos. Stories I particularly want to focus on will involve writers and protagonists that are female or POC, LGBTQ issues, and related themes of sex, gender, race, and all the other bits and pieces that people don’t normally like to talk about."
