    It’s now 1/31/2018, and the remediation of the apartment hasn’t really started, yet. Rosa said the carpet is smelling skunky. I hope that’s not mold, but it might be mold. The apartment upstairs flooded on the 18th, so it’s now been 13 days since we haven’t been able to sleep in the bedrooms. The management…

    On Friday the 18th, the upstairs apartment’s bathroom got flooded, and water flooded their apartment and drained down onto us. I don’t know the particulars, but I suspect it’s a bad valve. If it was a clog, it would have been like one gallon of water, or less. This was far more than that –…

    I tried to get a racist meme removed from Instagram, but they said it didn’t violate community standards. Here’s the meme: The poster agreed, it’s racist. It’s a racist meme that’s been tagged to help it get some views. Instagram didn’t seem to be able to figure this out.

    Hello, neighbor to my dead family. A photo on a headstone, a teenage boy, his hair in a pompadour, collar rumpled, smiling, facing the sun, one of the neighborhood guys. Dead at age 18, in the 1950s, buried in the neighborhood. Tono, the only name on the grave. Japanese headstones stand at attention, waiting for…
