Emerging from my cave to make a PSA: be careful of hackers impersonating as your friends on social media. A close friend’s @instagram account was compromised and I fell victim to a scam. Remember to verify their identities on a different platform before transferring any money.

I saw all the red flags but every time something felt off, my “friend” would gaslight me into thinking it was ok. The hackers acted so quick—I was chatting normally with my friend just a couple days ago, and he had only lost access to his account the day before I got scammed.

3.30am and another error code for #AAS2022. Really wish I could be in Hawaii right now.
So I tried presenting my research in Japanese for the first time in forever and it went pretty well! I’m glad to have had the opportunity to do so thanks to all the wonderful people at this year’s Japanese Research Showcase @HistWorkshop @SayakaChatani @IN_Japanologie @ElinorGong

The feeling of being on a roll when writing. It’s so elusive but so amazing when it comes.

At Japan Focus, an international collection of responses to the publications on Buraku issues in Japan by Harvard's Mark Ramseyer. They show how his scholarship is as flawed on this issue as on the comfort woman issue. apjjf.org/2021/9/ToC.html

Each time I get a bit of extra research funding I go “wow, somebody actually believes in me.”

Am I the only one who freezes for a second whenever someone asks if I’m a student? @AcademicChatter #phdlife

I just showed my grandma Rupaul’s Drag Race hoping to start a conversation about LGBTQ+ visibility but it turns out that I have a granduncle (whom I never knew existed because he died so young) who was a drag queen. FAMILY HISTORY TIME.

That said, the family would occasionally get concerned/gossipy neighbors and friends claiming that they saw her engaging in “变态” (perverse) behavior (i.e. cross-dressing or entertaining male customers).

I’ll have to read the articles to find out more. My grandmother is skeptical and dismissive of the official narrative + court’s judgment on this matter because her sibling’s murderer “only served a jail term of six years.” I really need to know how this ruling came to be...
