@AdventuresofRangerSarah They should have preserved it.
So that we may never forget that, what IS HAPPENING already DID happen, and that the social cancer of nazi-fascism is never too far.

I saw the George Takei trending post. I agree with the Nikkei legend, concentration camps break my heart too.
I also want to point out Biden continued Trump's policies of jailing children, just so we can be crystal clear about how we got to this point.

Marsha Aizumi, a giant in LGBTQ+ Nikkei circles, has passed. Marsha was the force behind the founding of Okaeri, the first conference for queer Japanese Americans. Okaeri led to groups, books, and many new resources. The positive impact on Christian, Buddhist, and other groups has been immense.

Hear about the bombshell discovery of a report that U.S. govt officials had ordered burned that has the potential to expose the truth about one of the most radical policy decisions in all of American history.

Paul’s grandma did the same for years and now it’s our turn.
My favorite way to eat it is to fry it and eat it with daikon oroshi, negi, and ponzu.

I was in Toronto yesterday, and went to The Beguiling, which may be Toronto's best comic book store, partly because it's not filled with toys/collectables, but also because it has an astonishing breadth and depth of comics and graphic novels and related books/magazines. Anyway, I hadn't been there before, and once I saw what was inside, I asked about a book that I've been wanting to get. And they had a copy!
The book is “Seattle Samurai: A Cartoonist's Perspective of the Japanese American Experience”, by Kelly Goto. I came to know Kelly because she spoke at my conference, Fluxible, many years ago.
Kelly is pretty awesome, and I’m sure that many (all?) of my UX mutuals here know her. Please chime in, friends! 😀📚
I’m excited to dive into it!

Come with me on this #ADHD journey down a rabbit hole.
I was looking for a *new* open/green space to go explore. I saw the Rose City Cemetery and always thought it strange that it had a gated "Japanese Cemetery", a cemetery within a cemetery. So I searched for "Japanese Cemetery Rose City" and aha, there was a Wiki for it.
After reading it, my interest was further piqued. I clicked on the first reference note.

The USA's history is littered with shameful moments and dark chapters — and in recent years, historical sites have begun to acknowledge this in their communications with visitors. That may be about to change. The Trump administration is now posting signs asking visitors to report historical information “negative about either past or living Americans," the Colorado Sun reports. Last Friday, signs went up at the Amache site where Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II, and at the Sand Creek Massacre site where U.S. troops killed peaceful Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho people in 1865. “I interpret it as a direct threat to why we have national parks,” said Tracy Coppola, Colorado senior program manager for the southwest regional office of the nonprofit National Parks Conservation Association. “Definitely a chilling effect on our park rangers, whose job is to tell the story of these places. The Park Service is not partisan, and they represent all of us.”
