Rest in peace, Pixel. You were really cute.

this scene really highlights one of the most impressive parts of yotsuba to me, which is how effectively its able to recreate for an adult audience the sense of wonder that very young children have towards the world, giving us a taste of just how strange and interesting seemingly normal things are to someone as young as yotsuba. the way the geese are quietly built up to through strange sound effects, and how the camera shows their approach in detail, how it lingers on yotsubas reaction and lets us take in just how new and exciting this is to her, before hitting us with a double page spread of that same thing on an overwhelming scale... its masterful

Absolutely barbaric and immoral that US states are still carrying out the death penalty (and apparently the federal government is considering bringing it back?). Hi yes, we're going to punish someone for (allegedly, they get the wrong person waaaaay too often) killing someone by killing them. Fuck.

I've been against the death penalty since I was a kid, and the more I learn about how every part of the process is carried out the more horrified I get. They don't let doctors be involved with the process because the Hippocratic oath bars them from harming patients, so most executions are a kind of gruesome shitshow.

And then I go on the internet and find pages of people who think the punishment didn't go far enough? Like, you want to be drawing and quartering people for your enjoyment? Bonkers.

This is more venting than trying to actually convince anyone, but if you want a better set of arguments I can't recommend Jacob Geller's YouTube video on the subject enough.
