Pinned
TLDR: There have been people stealing my scans and posting it on X. Stop that, seriously.
I am pinning this post, because it has come to my attention over the past month that I’ve been informed that there are people who took my scanned pics to post on X (fka Twitter) and didn’t credit me. Particularly, it was from a Blur fan and a couple of Coldplay fans.
Specifically, here are their usernames, their posts which they’ve posted my scans, and my own posts to as the source:

... has anyone tagged @pangur-and-grim yet...?
my dad (Maori) works on a ship with all Maori/Tongan/Samoan fisherman- and one Aussie guy called Jake.
And that wasn't done on purpose just sort of how it ended up, but Jake recently got an injury so they put him on a Different boat just for a little bit (a sit in the wheelhouse and scout type of boat, instead of the main fishing one) and he only got back to my dad's ship today and he was apparently like Shaking. He was Traumatised.
Dad said Jake kept pulling him aside and going "They were all yelling on there, but in a MEAN way" "They didn't clean... Like at ALL"
Jake experienced what a boat full of old school Aussie fisherman is like. That is the norm Jake. You just happened to be on the all Island boy boat on your first go out. "It was time for dinner and they had FROZEN nuggets" Jake that's what they have on ships that are out at sea for months at a time.
On my dad's boat they are eating fresh fish and coconut milk Ceviche. They're grilling steaks on an open bbq on the deck that probably is not regulation. All the guys have their own special knives to prepare sashimi every couple days. Everyone is happily doing their own work so they can clock out early and set up a movie on the deck. Jake did you genuinely believe that's what every boat was doing.

Pic: In December 1978, superstar Kenji Sawada also attended Bowie's after-party in Roppongi.
David Bowie embarked on his first tour in Japan with the Aladdin Sane tour in April 1973, followed by the Stage Tour in December 1978, the Serious Moonlight Tour in October 1983, the Sound+Vision Tour in May 1990, the It's My Life Tour with Tin Machine in January-February 1992, the Outside Tour in June 1996, and the Reality Tour in March 2004.
Whilst overseas artists arriving in Japan until the 1970s typically landed at Haneda Airport, and those from the 1980s onwards mostly arrived at Narita Airport, Bowie's first arrival in Japan was via Yokohama Port. He had sailed across the Pacific from the United States, his previous tour destination. At this time, Bowie suffered from a fear of flying and always travelled overseas by ship.
Staying at the Imperial Hotel, Bowie received even more radical costumes from designer Kansai Yamamoto than before, which he began using for his Japanese performances. Starting at Tokyo's Kosei Nenkin Kaikan, he toured Nagoya, Hiroshima, Kobe, and Osaka. The final concert at Shibuya Public Hall was recorded showing the audience surging forward onto the stage. His exposure to Kabuki, Noh theatre, and Japanese gardens deepened his fascination with Japan. On his return journey, he sailed to the Soviet Union and travelled by Trans-Siberian Railway for a week to reach Moscow.
By the time he made a surprise visit to Japan with Iggy Pop in 1977, his fear of flying seemed to have subsided. Overcoming his phobia apparently stemmed from being forced into a situation where flying was the only way to make it to North America for the Idiot Tour with Iggy. This visit wasn't for a performance. Bowie frequently visited Japan outside of tours, often stopping in Kyoto.
During his 1978 Stage Tour, he appeared on the 15-minute interview programme “Star Sen'ichiya (スター千一夜)”, broadcast at the time on the Fuji TV network. The final tour date, the December 12th concert at NHK Hall, was recorded by NHK and broadcast in March 1979 as “Young Music Show”.
Although Bowie had established his status in the rock world from the early 1970s, his recognition broadened significantly in the 1980s. A symbolic example was his appearance in a shochu manufacturer's television commercial in 1980. He visited Japan in March 1980 for the filming of Takara Shuzo's “Jun” commercial. He provided an instrumental track recorded during the “Scary Monsters” sessions, titled “Crystal Japan”. In Japan, this track was also released as a single, paired with “Alabama Song”.
This superficial wave of Bowie popularity peaked in 1983. The release of “Let's Dance”, the premiere of Nagisa Oshima's film “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence”, and his subsequent visit for the Serious Moonlight Tour created a continuous stream of buzz. It was also from this year that a sense of dissonance began to spread among his existing listeners. —Hirose Toru
Translator's Note: It's really rare to even hear of an artist travelling to their performing destination by ship. The only one that I knew of that had done so recently was Yann Tiersen.

I want to be very clear on this. You can be out drinking with your friends on Friday night and dead on Sunday because of meningitis. Does that sound a little specific? Guess why I have such a specific scenario in mind.
And getting vaccinated is an easy way to prevent that. There is no medical reason to stop recommending that vaccine. There's no new study that shows that it's unsafe, there's no replacement that's better. This is literally the government making its citizenry less safe for no reason.
This is the most accurate vaccine schedule as laid out by the AAP, who have stated that they think JFKjr is bullshit: 
If you have a kid, either download this or print it and confirm with your pediatrician that this is what you want to follow.
there's always some bullshit happening on reddit
