Yuriko Miyamoto was a writer and social activist associated with both the proletarian fiction and women's liberation movements. (She even spent time in prison before the Pacific War for her political views.) Much of her work is autobiographical and centers war, class, or gender. #witmonth

A black-and-white photo of Yuriko Miyamoto. Miyamoto is a serious-looking, heavy, middle-aged woman in a dark, patterned kimono with a light, floral patterned obituary. She's looking into the distance behind the camera, holding a pen or calligraphy brush, and sitting in front of a bookshelf.

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Chart showing solar panel exports from China (the main solar panel maker by a long shot) growing steadily & mightily from 2018 through 2026, then spiking by almost 2x in March 2026.

Tadahiko Mori continues his series in the #Mainichi on Isabella Lucy Bird's travels in Japan. With all the faults and virtues of a passionate Victorian Christian and a meticulous observer, she presents #Japan exactly as she sees it, and values the kindness of the poor. mainichi.jp/english/arti...
