Somehow managed to make it to Maruichi twice this week after not being able to go for a while. 🥳 Yesterday’s lunch. 👇 Image
Although the state lifted the mask mandate last weekend, Brookline still requires masks in public and Maruichi still requires them in the store. They’re providing masks now which they weren’t before. Image
Soooo much onigiri 🍙🍙🍙yesterday! Image
Took pictures of ramen bowls 🍜 for friends who are on the hunt. Not a huge selection but decent. Very sad that Tokai is closed so I can’t send them there. ImageImageImage
On Tuesday I lucked out and got the last chirashi! 😋 ImageImage
Was surprised to see that Maruichi has fresh wasabi and natto maki. I can’t remember ever seeing either in a Japanese grocery store in the US. 😮 ImageImage
A friend told me yesterday that Maruichi has opened a 2nd location in Arlington. Was looking through their Facebook and found out they also carry fresh wasabi.

Not sure when I’ll have time to check out the Arlington Heights location. It’s in a space that used to be occupied by Prime, a butcher shop.

1. Just no. 🤨

This white self-flagellation has to stop.

We all have gaps in our knowledge and have "much to learn" about everything. 📚
2. This might seem contradictory for someone who has her ethnicities in her Twitter bio but the reason I do that is to be visible as a hāfu (ハーフ) Japanese Okinawan American because I've rarely met other Japanese Okinawans outside of my own family.

3. I also got tired of erasing my Okinawan heritage.

For many years I rarely told anyone I was Okinawan unless they pressed me about my heritage because ...

1. 🧵 about Minneapolis Capella Tower trivia.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capella_T…

While reading tweets about protests in Minneapolis this week I've been coming across tweets about the lights on top of Capella Tower.
2. Capella Tower, located in Downtown West at 225 S. 6th St., opened in 1992 but the lights are new. The Tower Crown Lights have been in use since December 2020. It's an LED system "capable of displaying a wide spectrum of colors".

3. Capella Tower posts a monthly schedule on their website of dates when the Tower Crown Lights are illuminated for holidays or other occasions. Requests can be submitted by the public.

1. Fundraiser 🧵:

I tried to stop by @JaponaiseBakery in #Brookline today but discovered they closed for renovations last month. 🥳 ImageImage
2. This is sad for me in the short term but good news in the long term!

@JaponaiseBakery has been open since 1985—36 years! I hadn’t expected to be able to find fresh Japanese baked goods when I came to Boston & was ~really~ excited to find their now-closed kiosk in Porter Sq.
3. @JaponaiseBakery eventually moved from a kiosk to a small space in the hall of restaurants, but sadly closed the Porter Sq. location in 2015. Image

I don’t think I’m going to be online much tonight but I’ll be here some so I’m starting another thread to tweet news out of Minneapolis. Looking like it’s going to be another long night.

Last night’s long and windy thread here.

1. One of the weirder forms of appropriation that seems only possible in the Internet age is non-black people of color who appropriate black trauma as their own pain and exploit it to give themselves imaginary authority over whites.
2. All peoples have a history of trauma, sometimes at the hands of other racial, ethnic, and religious groups but frequently at the hands of people of our own race, co-ethnics and co-religionists.
3. I often wonder if people who do this just don't know their own histories—or maybe don't want to know—or if they cynically appropriate other people's pain/power because it's trendy. 🤔

Just tuned in to the Minneapolis/St. Paul police dispatch scanner.

- Helicopter launched.
- Looters in a CVS. REACT team going in to clear.

I’ve been doing a mix of adding to this thread I started earlier today and retweeting tweets. The earlier thread was meant to be a 2nd update thread so I don’t want to clutter it with news about the unrest tonight.

Not sure how long I’m going to stay up but I’ll add tweets about tonight’s unrest in Minneapolis here.

I’m so sorry for those of you who live in the region. ☹️ Stay safe.
