Across the ocean: a Japanese American story of war and homecoming : Code Switch One of the most pivotal moments in Japanese American history was when the U.S. government uprooted more than 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry and forced them into incarceration camps. But there is another, less-known story about the tens of thousands of Japanese Americans who were living in Japan during World War II — and whose lives uprooted in a very different way.

Listen to this beautiful piece on NPR’s Code Switch podcast. Its U.S. history that I guarantee you were never taught in school. Learn something today. You won’t be disappointed! https://www.npr.org/2023/05/22/1177511189/across-the-ocean-a-japanese-american-story-of-war-and-homecoming

New season of queer eye has me crying uncontrollably.

Hiiii!!!

I’m with you on ranch but damn I love ketchup! On fries and tostones

Someone please explain why so many of the cyclists in Prospect Park are HELLA RUDE!?!?! I put one foot in the bike lane (by accident!) and an angry man in Lycra called me a “dumb fat f$ck!” He had an Australian accent.

I’m not sure about “skeet”… are you all really trying to make that a thing?

The Bay Book Festival is happening right now! If you’re in the Bay Area, check it out — and come to my event tomorrow, 5/7 at the Marsh Berkeley theater!
