#OTD in 1798 – The first clashes of The United Irish Rebellion begins in Wexford and in Leinster just after dawn.

The Irish Rebellion of 1798 (Éirí Amach 1798), also known as the United Irishmen Rebellion (Éirí Amach na nÉireannach Aontaithe), was an uprising against British rule in Ireland lasting from May to September 1798. The United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, were the main organising force behind the rebellion. The rebellion…

25 mina, 21 kelly, 17 bríd, 18 wash (-alex)

25. ...Do cover identities count as OCs? Mina has quite a few of those. Most used one is the Toxic Tea-seller, a tea shop owner in the Khnate who sells teas from the surface. Doesn't get the greatest business but stays afloat by poisoning the competition.

21. Kelly didn't have any pets as a kid, but he was very good at befriending stray dogs. This skill continues to this day.

17. Bríd is allergic to almonds but does not know this. Yet. She's also mildly lactose intolerant but this has never stopped her.

18. Damn I haven't even made an intro post about Wash on here yet, but sure. Wash is somewhat afraid of storms despite living in a giant cave for [redacted] number of years. They know this is extremely silly.

Figured I should probably post this on here cause I never remember to but here’s what I’ve been working on for the past two weeks!

I’ve been calling it my insanity project and you’ll be able to see why in a sec-

That is a list of names, specifically the names of every person that was interned at Amache, the Japanese Internment camp that my family was imprisoned in during WWII. There were just over 10,000 people that were there at one point or another in the three years it was in operation with a peak population of over 7,000 at one time. Keep in mind Amache was the smallest of the camps and over 125,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned by the US government

I have been hand writing out every single name of those that were imprisoned at Amache

This project was inspired by the Ireizō book that has been at the JANM in Los Angeles that I got the privilege of visiting with my mom and aunt and stamping the names of our relatives

My project is organized by birth year like the Ireizō is and I’ve gotten up to halfway through 1892 so I’ve still got quite a bit to go

You can read more about the monument here, it’s truly amazing- the website also has a searchable database of everyone interned

Here’s more closeups on my project so you can see just the sheer scale of how huge this is- I crashed procreate at least 3 times while pasting in the list of names

Eventually when I get to the kanji characters the lettering will be red on the black so I think it’ll look cool but I still have a ways to go.

Some memories of meeting George and Brad Takei, as well as the internment of my in-laws during WWII.

Five years ago many of the women on my wife Linda’s side (they’re a large majority) gathered at the studio of famous photographer Toyo Miyatake, now run by his grandson, for some group photos. While wandering around playing the role of 8th wheel while her immediate family posed for pics, I came across a photo montage Mr. Miyatake had taken at George Takei’s wedding to Brad Altman. I took a photo…

nuair a duirt duine níos sine agus mise 22 bliain d'aois nó pé "ní thuigeann tú mar tá tú ró óg", bhí mé an feargach mar ba duine fasta mé agus ní raibh sé cothrom. ach anois, thuigim. tá go leor rud difriúil agus tusa giota beag níos sine, mar tá tuirse ar do chairde agus ar na daoine polaitiúil i do shaol, agus tá burnout ar achan duine eile, agus níl aon fuinneamh nó aon dochas orthu mar d'usaid siad achan rud ag deanamh unsustainable activism

agus, tá a fhios agat, tá muid ag rá rudaí mar sin mar ní mhaith linn an rud cheana a tharlú do daoine eile. deir muid "bígí cúramach, ná túgaigí achan rud don troid agus don idirlíon, is gá duit a bheith i do bheatha ag deireadh an láe" mar tá imni orainn, agus ba mhaith linn cabhair a tabhairt dibh

ach ní maith leis na daoine níos óige an comhairle sin. is mór an trua.
