  1. Gaslighting #RFK Jr.’s role in the deadly #Samoan #measles outbreak | Science-Based Medicine sciencebasedmedicine.org/gasli “One of many shameful incidents in the life of antivax activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was his promotion of anti-MMR fear mongering during a measles epidemic in Samoa. Now that he could become HHS Secretary, his apologists are frantically trying to gaslight you. Here’s how.”

  2. nevermind that huge pile of Samoan children that died of measles after RFK Jr. convinced their parents not to get them vaccinated. also please ignore the fact that he thinks AIDS is a government plot that has nothing to do with HIV. and nevermind that he's promised that the first evils he will combat are water #fluoridation and #chemtrails.

    and finally, whatever you do, definitely don't look into what the man has to say about covid-19 and the jews.

  3. The river thing was interesting. Hey, points to Paris for trying to mix things up a little. Though I will say the boat parade (hello MAGA) was a bit of a let down. There's something really nice about seeing every nation come in, their flag bearer right out in front waving it with all the pride in the world, and the athletes all waving and taking pictures. You get much better close ups and can see the "I'm here. I'm really here, mom!" looks on their faces. It kind of had all the excitement of watching someone else's booze cruise from a dock. Did the Samoan flag carrier not come in shirtless this time?

    CPT Sake has been chosen by the Matai of her village as a recipient of Malu tatau, tattoos that designate a respected warrior.

    Mucho Hooah.

  5. Robert Louis Stevenson’s #shortstory “The Bottle Imp” was first published (in English) #OTD, 8 Feb 1891, in the New York Herald. It was originally published in #Samoan translation as “O le Fagu Aitu” in the missionary magazine O le sulu Samoa (The Samoan Torch)

  6. Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

    I do not have Pacific Islander ancestry myself, but I have been practicing the Samoan art of Siva Afi (fireknife dancing) for 12 years. I worked with world-champion fireknife dancers, Samoan speakers, and a Samoan artist to create a card game about it:

  7. I love the #Moana soundtrack, but in particular love the #Samoan and #Tokelauan bits. I'm using music apps to explore the artists connected to the soundtrack, but if you have recommendations for singers, poets, or storytellers in either of those languages (or in #Fijian, #NaNosaVakaViti, which has a special place in my heart), please share them with me 💛

  17. Although SF might not be as decorative during Christmas time as American Samoa, Samoan residents in the Bay Area make it a special time of “prayer and celebration and commitment to Christian values, with gratitude front and center.” #SFBA #SF #samoan #Christmas #WinterHolidays

  18. Sure, I'll step into the #FediGiftShop:

    My card game about #Samoan #fireknife dancing was developed in consultation with professionals, features artwork by Samoan artist Troy Safotu, and has card text in Samoan and English. (The rules are in English.)
