BTW, John Hawkes has an infmrative blog post on the evidence for fire in Rising Star, and I think it started to answer some of my questions. Not all, though. It's worth a read.

Some 232,000 children up to the age of 18 (216,000 Jews, 11,000 Roma, at least 3,000 Poles, over 1,000 Belarusians & some Russians, Ukrainians & others) were deported to the camp.

For #WaterfallWednesday, a picture of a #waterfall in #Iceland with some lovely #columnar #basalts. I distinctly remember how cold, dark and wet it was that day but I don’t have a clue which specific waterfall this is or where it is located…

At age 4, I was classified as 4c, enemy alien, even though I was born in the U.S. Within a few months, the internment of our community was ordered by FDR with broad support from the American people, who turned their backs upon us. We lost our homes, our businesses and our freedoms. (2/4)

It has been my lifelong mission to tell the story of the Japanese American internment so that we remember and do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Now, I am bringing that story to the UK from Jan-Apr in a show called “Allegiance” based on my own experiences. (3/4)

(new post because I have made a mistake before someone has been so kind to tell me)

It could be lost in the Artemis and holiday shuffle, but on Dec 15, #NASA and CNES will launch a $1.2 *billion* satellite, SWOT, to map the height of the world's water in unprecedented detail.

By measuring height, you unlock the changing water volume of all the major rivers and millions of lakes. And in the ocean, small scale changes in height reveal ocean eddies, an invisible keystone to in how the seas soak up carbon and heat.
