Very excited about the "Golden Kamuy" feature film being released tomorrow at cinemas in Japan, particularly with its Ainu content.
Also noted there is a version with Japanese subtitles getting limited cinema relase in early Feb, which I might also go see.
A friend on another app posted about a new Japanese book "Ainu Moyamoya" about Ainu visibility: part-manga/part-prose.
40 pages available online to view here:

I will add to the Famichiki cheese discussion. My husband bought a delicious creamy blue cheese from the Meitetsu cheesemonger and said it was Rockfall cheese. It was so good and I thought it was a brand name of cheese. Maybe American? Couldn’t find anything on Google.

Then it hit me. ロックフォール. It’s Roquefort cheese, not Rockfall! 😂

When I was 16 in '82, I first heard this song and these lyrics:

"no more no need for gents and ladies
no need no more for breeding babies
take in that torso-redesign
no more divide the body and mind

not a duty just an action you'll enjoy
for any boy and boy girl and girl and girl and boy
rub out the rules on how and who can procreate
xoyo triple x: sex mosaics (renegades!)"

"Criminals have gained access to the Booking.com accounts of some accommodation providers, using them to send messages to guests while posing as properties they have bookings with.":

I was told on my trip home, by an older American woman, that the word “cheesemonger” was offensive. 🤨

I mean, surely this not the case. 🤷‍♀️

Just sent the angriest email of my life AMA.
Yesterday their question was about the use of the word "there" today it was "here".
Did this person even attend JHS?
If I lose this job, I will be happier.

Called an ambulance for this dude. I’m pretty sure he just needed to sleep it off, but not in the street, bro.

Also, I was worried there was a small chance something else was wrong 🤷‍♂️

But my main concern was leaving him and then finding out the next day he got hit by a car
