alojapan.com/1250350/bones-fou Bones found on Marine Corps base ID’d as Okinawan man missing since 2018 #bones #MarineCorpsBase #missing #Okinawa #OkinawaTopics #OkinawanMan #沖縄 This T-shirt was discovered near human skeletal remains found on Camp Schwab, Okinawa, on March 21, 2024. (Okinawa Prefectural Police) Human bones discovered more than a year ago at a Marine Corps base on Okinawa belong to a local man who went missing in 2018, according to Japanese police. The man, …

Why do we do weird things with human remains - like turn them into art, or line underground corridors with them, or worship them because we're told they belonged to a holy person once upon a time, or revere them because they belonged to our ancestors?

We'll look at this and much more at Writing the Occult: Relics on 10 May, including a special talk by Cat Irving about ossuaries and bones. Join us? 🧵⬇️

"I Dreamt of Brighter Days", 2012

I continue to transition my #art from #deviantart to #Pixelfed. #AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms such as Deviant Art for me. And unlike most other platforms, I greatly appreciate the freedom of the #Fediverse, including the lack of data collection, or the lack of algorithms dictating what we see, think or feel. #HelloPixelfed. #GoodbyeDeviantArt.

This is more of a #photomanipulation than a #digitalpainting - though there are touch ups. Originally, when I created this, it was meant to represent how I was feeling at the same, particularly during February, one of the most #depressing months. And now I reflect on how much has changed. Though I have experienced #dark days, I have also learned the value and necessity of finding meaning (i.e., finding #alifeworthliving). This can be anything from arts, nature, crafts, activities, hobbies, meditation, relationships and so on. Reflecting back on 2012, I am happy to say that life is much more bright nowadays. However, life would not be so bright without those dark days.

"Suffering should be creative.
Should give birth to something
good and lovely." -Chinua Achebe

And it is our duty to protect the #European land from aggression," a legionnaire emphasized.

"#Bones" and his team, using the #Mk_19 grenade launcher, wreaked havoc on #Russian positions in #Luhansk, #Kharkiv, and #Kherson regions. During the last mission, he was injured in the eye but is gradually recovering. After victory, he wants to stay in #Ukraine and "live in a small chalet in the #Carpathians."

Glory! Thank you, Sir!

"#Bones," a chef from #France, has been defending #Ukraine from the #Russian occupiers in the hottest spots for three years now.

"#Bones" shares that he worked in restaurants in #France and had no combat experience before, but after the war started, he decided to join the #International_Legion. His family understood his decision, although it came as a surprise.

"I consider #Ukraine a #European land and the #Ukrainian people a #European people. And it is our duty to hear the #Europeans.
