  3. @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.

  4. An interesting personality, it seems: Shoji Yamasaki. #^https://www.shojiyamasaki.com/about working at the intersections of #dance, performance, choreography, direction, #film making...
    His ongoing project series called LITTERED MVMNTS, where split-screen video of various pieces of litter dancing in the wind are paired with himself, mimicking the costume and the movements of that litter, seems to go viral on commercial social media atm: #^https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeWFZV1FWFs
    Someone pull him off Threads into using Mastodon, oh please...

  7. 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.

  8. @mookie I've watched #TheDayAfterTomorrow more times than I can count. 🤷‍♂️

    It's right up there with #2012 (2009) . 😉

    But for some reason, still can't stop watching it even if #DennisQuaid is a #MAGA a$$hole, which makes me sad because #TheRookie (2002) is one of my favorite #baseball #movies too. ☹️

    And the thing is, he made a movie about the #Japanese #internment too -- #ComeSeeTheParadise (1990) with #TamilynTomita (who also plays a bit part in The Day After Tomorrow) in which he tries to reunite with his #JapaneseAmerican wife & #Happa daughter while they are still imprisoned in a camp.

    So, I really don't get what happened to #Quaid to make him a MAGA & #Drumpf supporter. 🤦‍♂️

  13. 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.

  14. Getting close to new years means mochi deliveries to friends.

    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 just opened a bottle of 2023 #Zinfindel that is simply wonderful.

    It's made by #MikamiVineyards in #Lodi -- a #JapaneseAmerican wine growing family whose connection with the land pre-dates #WWII & the imprisonment of their AMERICAN family in a #ConcentrationCamp. 🤬

    I'm happy to be a supporter of this business & it's even better that they make GREAT award winning Zins!

  20. 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!

  30. 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.
