KPIX just ran the documentary news segment below about photos taken of Japanese
Americans living in/near Marysville whose photos were taken (apparently for ID purposes) on or about Feb 1942 when Executive 9066 was signed which forced all Japanese American on the west coast to abandon their homes & businesses in order to be incarcerated in internment camps scattered in desolate areas around the west.
Photos of 80 of those people (who are named) are included in the article below and KPIX is hoping to find the families of these people who may still be living in the SFBA. Please reach out and forward this article to anyone who may know be able to help identify the people in the photos and/or their families.
While I still struggle to speak Japanese despite living here, on the weekend I had an unexpected Karaoke visit, and I was able to sing an entire song by Sakanaction with no trouble reading it.
I guess that is progress, right?
Absolutely banger of a track. Learning languages are hard.
Unnamed woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi from the book “Tsuki hyakushi” (One Hundred Aspects of the Moon). The book depicts various aspects of the moon, drawing upon Japanese and Chinese anecdotes, historical events, and mythology. The final book printing was in 1892, the year Tsuki printed this and the year he died.
I've been in a very low energy state lately （ #キャパオーバー ）, so I'll probably mostly participate by reading or boosting, maybe occasionally interacting when my spoons are high enough.
I’m Daniel! I’m a gay cisgender male, and I use he/him/his. I’m finishing up a bachelor’s degree, with two majors in #asianstudies and #japanese#linguistics! In the fall, I will start working on my master’s degree in Japanese studies! In my spare time, I make music with #synths and #DJ! I also enjoy #anime and #videogames (JRPGs typically) ~ 💖✨
The game of #go, known in Japanese as #igo, involves surrounding the opponent's stones. In a simple example, four stones surround one, for a total of five stones. #BoardGames#Japanese

yet another instance (just migrated from epicure.social), so yet another #introduction:
while i do my regular social whatsits else-server, i felt it'd be fun to have an account dedicated to #food as i'm a passionate af #foodie. i can talk about about its very prep, #cooking and serving forfuckingever and, honestly, have since supplanted small talk with it. to say nothing of the place food occupies within communities and civilization... it's #SoGood!
i'm a #HomeCook with no formal training (but with ample experience hosting events of no small scale) and have been serious about #cookery since '98.
For language immersion I switched my phone to #Japanese. It worked pretty well: now I don't spend time procrastinating on my phone anymore because I don't understand anything about the interface at all.
I enjoy #hiking when I am not injured (plan to do the #heysentrail early next year). My other interests include #japan#japanesehistory , learning languages #japanese and #danish. I have written a short book of #poetry but am a lapsed poet due to work commitments.
I am a #bonsai hobbyist and retired #martialartist . A student of practical philosophy, I follow the #stoic school
