When It’s Bad to Think About Flying

January 11, 2015 by Megen de Bruin-Molé

This post was originally written on 11 November, 2014. I’ve flown a lot in my life, and at the moment I’m in an airplane at least every other week – generally from Cardiff or Bristol to Amsterdam and back again. I’m in an airplane right now. I’ve never had a fear of flying, but the more … Read more

Thank you to everyone who made time for me this last trip to Okinawa. You aren’t all pictured here (in most cases because I forgot to get your picture!), but you are appreciated and awesome and will be missed. Our second BASE workshop was so different from the first. We went from a cozy community space at @sabani_space on the 16th to a central hall in the university museum on the 18th, and from a collection of small tables to one big long table laid out like a feast. Both workshops were unexpectedly lovely – @distance_of_9195km and I didn’t quite know what we were getting into or who we would meet, but at every turn we found enthusiasm, curiosity, generosity, kindness, and a keen honesty that deeply moved us. First BASE zine workshop yesterday. Thanks so much @sabani_space for generous and supremely chill hosting, and to workshop participants @tsuhahiromi @tsupuri @naokouchima @umikaji_zine @aiue0euia @saori_yamazato @yumi_tsuha @narrative_care @y.kaname21 @melepono.apartment.tobaru and @souvenir_londonokinawa for your beautiful selves and your beautiful zines 📖 🌈. @distance_of_9195km and I are still sorting through all the photos! 以下日本語訳 Thanks @sabani_space for letting me sit and make some things! See you again hopefully for a workshop in May 😊 First time catching Mao Ishikawa’s work in an exhibition this weekend (thanks @kyotographie and @kondayagenbei). Boots on the ground in 2024 The International Gothic Association conference is always a highlight of my year. Today it’s been 79 years since the Battle of Okinawa, but the names of the dead are still being found and added to the memorial in Itoman. 181 names were added this year—242,225 in total. 1 in 4 Okinawans (25%) were killed, the mainland was levelled by more than 200,000 tons of artillery.
