I really love the here on . Unlike on previous corporate-owned platforms I’ve used, Mastodon filters allow me to hide one major source of traffic: the US.

English is my primary language and America and its culture floods the anglosphere.

I’m Australian and Dutch. I wish the best for Americans but I have no need to be kept up to date on every detail of the latest horrible thing happening in that country.

See the pics for a sample of my US filters.

Japan,

@hoofin WOW! This is cool! Japan so polite so clean!

This is simultaneously the best and most frightening illustration of a flying squirrel I've ever seen.

After a week of trying, I finally scored a reservation at the Pokemon Cafe in Tokyo. Both kids are of course over the moon; I’m just pleased I don’t need to have that fight again 😂

Japanese workers’ wages have jumped by more than twice the pace expected by economists, offering the Bank of Japan a sign that upward momentum in pay may be strengthening. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/07/07/business/wage-growth-boj/?utm_content=buffer4e80c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn

Guided friends-of-a-friend, professors in Mumbai, through subways and trains mainly to Ōsaka Castle.

They did their homework, reading my latest article at https://japanned.hcommons.org/japanology and knowing about my family.

I was abashed to receive gifts, because when I guide people around Kyōto or Ōsaka, I pay my own way, and I like to help people unconditionally.

Incidentally, Happy Tanabata, Japan's Star Festival on 7/7. Especially children write wishes on strips of washi (Japanese paper), then attach them to sprigs of bamboo.

For Tanabata I once wrote a simple bilingual haiku, published in the Shikoku regional newspaper (四国新聞), 5-7-5 syllables in Japanese:

七夕や 望を乗せる 笹の舟
Tanabata ya nozomi o noseru sasa no fune

English version:

Wishes riding
A bamboo boat
To the stars

You can download the Bilingual Haiku Scroll (和英俳句の掛軸) of published haiku with photos of the four seasons in Kyōto, at: https://hcommons.org/deposits/download/hc:24806/CONTENT/bilingual_haiku_scroll.pdf
