Thu, 14:52: Business as usual: Hollywood loves Hawaiʻi, but not her people. This shit gets so fricking old. #AlohaMovie https://t.co/qraCoW55M2
Thu, 14:54: RT @TealWillingham: Stop selling our culture and pretending we don't exist #Hawaiians #AlohaMovie http://t.co/1NPrNQCi61
Thu, 15:03: What story would that be, exactly, in a movie erasing POC? #AlohaMovie https://t.co/l24peuMlix
Thu, 15:05: But we for sure didn't want to center POC in a movie about their own homeland. I mean. #AlohaMovie https://t.co/PJsnpWb2ps
Thu, 15:07: Because we can't let Hawaiians "educate" people on the *continent* about their own history and culture. #AlohaMovie https://t.co/GUnOkKS2UA
Thu, 15:17: I honestly don't understand how filmmakers could think we won't be outraged by the continuation of appropriation and erasure. #AlohaMovie
Thu, 15:23: I mean, POC absolutely have the right and the responsibility to demand positive, extensive representation. This is not it. #AlohaMovie
Thu, 15:25: So yeah, I'm gonna be loud about the appropriation showing up large in #AlohaMovie. Sorry if it interferes with your love triangle rom-com.
Thu, 15:50: RT @motomotoyama: @runningnekkid They really missed a chance here. It could've been a love triangle between Jason Momoa, The Rock, and Jas…

Thu, 15:54: RT @motomotoyama: @runningnekkid Sure! And while we're at it, let's get Kelly Hu in that movie.
Thu, 18:00: RT @djolder: “To choose to write is to reject silence,” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's closing remarks at the PEN Festival http://t.co/CoEa3lM…
Thu, 18:13: I am so proud of myself today! Wrote a letter to my Auntie, got Jonas to therapy, have dinner waiting for Iliana to come home from swimming.
Thu, 18:14: My house looks like a landfill, but hey. We are going to take the wins as wins and leave the rest for another day's energy.
Thu, 19:45: The National Weather Service has issued a typhoon warning for Guam, Rota Island, Tinian and Saipan. http://t.co/SY0Zr08NFH
Thu, 20:00: Eeek just saw the trailer for the new Poltergeist movie and now I can't tell if I need to watch it or never watch another movie again.
Thu, 20:07: I was *just* coming here to say the one good thing about my folks being dead is that I can't accidentally sext them instead of my husband...
Thu, 20:09: ...And then my teenager opened my phone and saw the dirty exchange Ian and I had earlier PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME.
Thu, 20:14: And the thing is, I am WAY dirtier than Ian. He just send me "Boobies!" with a little happy face. I ran with it all the way to OMG.
Thu, 20:15: We seem to be in agreement on playing the "hey let's pretend that never happened" game. Also I guess I should put money in his therapy fund.

Fri, 09:43: This week's post. I mean, don't you want to read about me being maudlin in the cracker aisle? https://t.co/tiVbr1XgbK #Hawaii #homesick
Fri, 10:00: I dunno, @KelliAgodon, I'd probably go see that! https://t.co/v1EXFCO6Su
Fri, 10:43: Got into an elevator that smelled so much like my mom. Combination of menthol cigarettes and peach potpourri. Repulsive...and comforting?
Fri, 10:44: I always hated my mom's stale cigarette smell and still would if she was still alive. Grief is so weird.
Fri, 10:48: Especially since it was her cigarettes that killed her. That smell is so triggers but...?
