Now is a good time as any to say DON’T TRAVEL TO HAWAI‘I or plan a vacation this summer!! Everyone is being asked to voluntarily conserve 10% water because the Navy poisoned our aquifer with JET FUEL. And yet water usage is still going up slightly.

Your vacation is possible because the same Navy that is poisoning our water today illegally overthrew the Kingdom of Hawai'i. Tourism and US military occupation go hand in hand.

Travel is expected to increase with easing of Covid restrictions. Visitors will only drive up water usage and overwhelm our system. We are already facing dryer weather and a hotter summer, w/ potential mandatory water usage restrictions going into effect.

Happy Korean American day!! Big thank you to @The_Millions and @lydiakiesling 🙏🏼❤️. It also happens to be the anniversary of the 2018 false missile alert. Per both occasions, all I’ll say is demilitarize Hawai‘i and end the Korean War!!!

📣 Attention, readers! 📣 The Great First-Half 2022 Book Preview is here, with the hope that it can, in some small measure, act as a balm, an escape, a distraction, a source of pleasure, a reason for hope, a source of light in the darkness.

For this wondrous book by @thisisEJKoh , I feel grateful and alive. I can’t recommend this memoir enough for what it teaches about magnanimity, being a life, joy as a practice—giving relief to the past.

“Overlapping memory always longs for return, the return of memory.” I’ll be keeping DMZ COLONY by @DonMeeChoi close on my desk for a long time—to return to again and again. Both this book and HARDLY WAR are next-level.

Picked up my diploma! Sure, I’m proud of this degree, and so grateful for the people I got to learn with and from, but I am ashamed of this institution, the BOR, and President Lassner for continuing to support TMT.

Having lived in LA for two years & visited this site constantly for updates while trying to finish my novel during the pandemic…to come back with this wonderful review in @latimesbooks feels truly special. @CounterpointLLC Thank you @TheBookMaven 🙏🏼❤️

Review: A Korean Hawaiian American dream (with Guy Fieri) goes pear-shaped in an inventive debut

In Joseph Han's hilarious first novel, 'Nuclear Family,' the Cho family's lunch chain is under threat after a supernatural incident at the Korean DMZ.
