@shlepcar I remember my mom telling me about the kids from #tuleLake playing #football against the kids from #alturas, and I remember having my mouth washed out for using the n-word before I knew what it meant, but I don't remember my mom telling me that the kids from tule lake, some of whom lost their lives fighting in @WorldWarii, were #incarcerated wrongly. And I wish she had.

I think she assumed I would understand, because she hated the #incarceration, but I think that though I understood, i, and the rest of my early 60s late Boomer cohort, would have benefited from having it spelled out.

When I feel #old, it's because I realized that so many of these people have already died and apologies are too late. Making #amends? Too late.

The #NintendoSwitch is actually the first #gaming #systecm where I have to swap #media (#disc / #cartridge )

On #GBA, #NDS / #DS , #Wii , #WiiU and even #PSP I went the #yarhar route...

But I guess I am making lots of #amends with the #Switch

I rebought #all #rereleases day one and will keep doing so.

#Good #Job #nintendo

I #love #handhelds / #portable #gaming systems 🤗

“Of course, it’s not just my family that has benefited from this system of wealth extraction. Britain’s #IndustrialRevolution was fuelled by money from the slave trade, making us a rich nation. After #abolition, the #Caribbean islands were left with an impoverished, mostly illiterate workforce—while #Britain leapt forward into a golden age of prosperity.”

#LauraTrevelyan's OpEd elevates #restorativeJustice; I see it as part of her #amends-making.

Being a #GoodPerson isn't about #charity. That's you strategizing on the appearence of being #good. Being a good person is about choosing to be intentional regarding your impact on #people and the #world in every moment. When you mess it up, as all do sometimes, you hold yourself #accountable by being #honest, making #amends, repairing #harm. It's not a photo op, it's intent with action. #pandora

Hmmm.....

(#Samsung, why u no make #lowbudget devices with 9.7", #s-pen & 3gb ram ?! :blobrage: )

@GottaLaff This is why I'm glad the #Jesuits are running the show. The way #PopeFrancis has promoted #evolution, allowed women who have had an #abortion back into the church, and most importantly, updated the church's criminal code to finally punish #PedophilicPriests is inspirational.

#Catholicism still has a ways to go to make #amends for its crimes in the past, but its #Jesuit leadership's focus on science and #compassion has at least started them down the path toward atonement.

The Jewish exodus from Arab countries is a shameful chapter. A few Arab countries are trying to make amends, but is it too late?

I use ‘exodus’ because Jewish experience varied from one government to another. But in the case of Egypt many were unfortunately expelled.
