It’s the birthday of this handsome hubby of mine! Thanks for being the best adventure partner, husbo! Our thirties were full of excitement and I can’t wait to see what the next decade holds. I love you lots and lots, and not just quadrennially ❤️

Today marks the 81st anniversary of the Day of Remembrance—a day for all of us to reflect on the injustice suffered by Japanese Americans when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. #NeverAgainIsNow

In the documentary I Know That Voice, Kevin Conroy tells this unforgettable story about working at a food relief station in Manhattan in the days after 9/11. It’s one of my favorite stories he told about the power of his talents. Rest In Peace Mr. Conroy

Today is the 50th anniversary of the "reversion" of Okinawa to Japanese control. 50 years ago Okinawans took to the streets to protest the reversion and the US/Japanese military bases that they sought to remove. The bases remain today, as does the resistance. Chibariyo Okinawa!

The AP Style Guide has officially announced that they're updating their terminology guidelines around Japanese American history to use the words "incarceration", "Incarcerated", and "detained" as opposed to the old terminology of "internment".
