Intro:
I'm Susie, a nerd/mother of cats (Mara, Leia, Hugs &, Obsidian.) I love Star Wars, Hawai'i, geology, Outlander, books, movies, MinCup.
My husband & I are in the Rebel & 501st Legions for Star Wars costuming, though I haven't been able to do that recently because I have a bad back that has left me disabled.
I still dream of going for a Master's in Geology. But I'm not exactly young, lol.

@ai6yr My uncle was arrested at gunpoint by US troops with fixed bayonets after spending the whole day as a first responder diving into the burning waters of Pearl Harbor to rescue and recover US sailors and marines on Dec 7, 1941, as a soldier of the Hawai'ian Territorial Guard -- he was suddenly arrested as an enemy Jap. He and his fellow Japanese Americans guardsmen were imprisoned for days in a brig, incommunicado, without a clue what was happening, until a local white officer intervened and white plantation owners vouched for them as loyal US citizens born and raised on O'ahu. He would later volunteer and serve in Europe in the segregated "Purple Heart Battalion" -- the 100th Battalion of the segregated 442nd Regimental Combat Team - the most decorated unit of its size in US Army history. He loved a nation that criminalized him for his race.

A windsurfer at Ho’okipa Beach in #Hawaii, a spot famous for its big waves and strong winds. “From this view, you can really feel the power of the ocean and the connection between the rider, the wave, and the wind,” says Iliya.

Coastal regions from Chile to the western U.S. were on edge after a powerful earthquake in Russia’s Far East triggered a tsunami that rippled across the Pacific. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/31/asia-pacific/tsunami-chile-us-russia-quake/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #tsunami #earthquakes #russia #japan #us #hawaii #peru #chile #pacificocean

This is what it looks like when you can’t escape an island as a tsunami approaches. Gridlocked roads. Sirens wailing. No way out except up.

Reading this linked blog post about the M8.8 earthquake in Russia and triggering of the tsunami warning has been more insightful than any of the mass media coverage I've read on the same topic this morning:
