AizuWakamatsu City, in Fukushima
AizuWakamatsu is the first place in Fukushima Prefecture I ever went in my life.
It was on a school trip with students in a rural school in Chiba, in 1990's. AizuWakamatsu is not the only lovely part of Fukushima, but it's the place Japanese tourists visit most. ❤️

Years ago, I saw this sign. 本
本！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
I was so excited.
Books！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
That's what it says.
I went up to it, practically drooling in anticipation.
But this bookstore went out of business. No longer a book store.
Anyway that is the kanji for "book."

Fukushima City
This is a mountain (or hill? It's considered a mountain) inside Fukushima City.
Fukushima City is basically flat, surrounded by mountains. (Fukushima City is a "basin.")
We have small mountains in our city, like this one. Mt. Shinobu.
It's very historic, and great to hike.

"After the nuclear disaster in Fukushima" is correct.

@willshackel.bsky.social You complain about nuclear power disinformation, provide banana / nuclear power disinformation, then complain that you're being attacked?
😮💨🤦🏼♀️
Bananas contain natural radiation, potassium-40, that our bodies are equipped to regulate.
No special gear for workers.

1. I don't know much about Salvation Army nowadays.
My current YA (which is on hold while I revise my MG) is about exploitation by American missionaries in Japan.
I was having a hard time coming up with a plot for a long time.
How I got my plot is related to the Salvation Army.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

1. This book is hilarious!!!! It's called "Best Men." It's by Sidney Karger.
Protag Max Moody is so funny. I kept laughing out loud.
He's had a best friend (Paige) since childhood. They even moved to New York City at the same time. When Paige gets married she wants Max to be her best man.

1. This is about the 2 different approaches of 2 countries: France & Germany.
France-many nuclear power plants
Germany-Merkel shut down Germany's nuclear power plants after 3/11/11
Pro-nuclear people often blame Fukushima for Merkel's decision.
But we in Fukushima do NOT decide what Germany does.

Fukushima gingko tree and gingko nuts
A few yrs ago, I did a lot of research on gingko trees for one of my manuscripts. It seemed that everybody knew so much about these trees---not me!
I went around Fukushima looking for these yellow trees (in autumn.) There are many here!
