If you are in Fremantle, Western Australia on Friday, Oct 24, we will be having a What's Going on With Shipping get together at 4 PM at Gage Roads Brew Company.

This is the first of its kind, so I am not sure if anyone will be there...but I will. If you can attend, I look forward to meeting you.

Lots of work this week, but I'm confident it will be worth it. Tune in this Thursday for my talk on Admiral Kurita at Leyte Gulf!

Not excusing this but we watch a lot of sumo in our house and Japanese folks are hardly better at zabuton etiquette. I’ve seen so many people, usually the elderly, use their canes on cushions, rest their feet on the empty in front of them, or even take the unused cushion near them and double up.

That's a wrap for Series 2! A huge thank you to all our listeners in 100 countries for your incredible support. We have been blown away by the response. We will return in January for Series 3 to delve into the pivotal events of 1943! #ForgottenWarPod #BurmaCampaign #WW2History

Excited to announce that I'm returning to @ww2tv.bsky.social to discuss Admiral Kurita at Leyte Gulf. This is one of my favorite subjects to talk about; see you there! #History #NavalHistory #USN #IJN #ImperialJapaneseNavy

Thrilled to get my hands on a copy of this new book about prewar Shintō shrines! Can't wait to read this one.

#Nagoya is a beautiful city and the Chubu Region may be the most diverse of all the various areas of #Japan. Is there a more savvy politician and capable leader in Early Modern Japan than Ieyasu? I’m not so sure. If you’ve been to #Aichi, or are planning to, let us know! #PacificHistoryGuide #名古屋

Sorry mate. Wish I could say something to help ya. I’ve experienced failure and it’s not fun.

Been a #Mets fan for 30 years and there is no team I hate more than the #Phillies. I’ve never felt bad for a player in a Philly uniform. But goddammit, what a brutal way to lose a series. Orion Kerkering if you’re reading this, to make mistakes is human. Hold your head high and get ‘em next time.

Narrator: “and he did, in fact, do something.”

So excited to unwrap these! Sure beats scrolling in a pdf 🤓 #Japan #SWW #WW2 #History #Booksky

A very happy birthday to Enomoto Takeaki, born on this day in 1836. One of my favorite Japanese historical figures, he was a Tokugawa loyalist in the Boshin War and was the first, last and only President of the Republic of Ezo. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

#PacificHistoryGuide is dedicated to connecting military servicemembers and their families with history, where they are. If you happen to be in #Australia, give us a follow and let us help you discover something new!

Charles Web Gilbert, the Australian sculptor who made the original 2nd Aus Div memorial statue and the Broken Hill Bomber statue, died 100 years ago today on 3rd October 1925.

What say you, #JapaneseHistory readers? Personally, I'm having a hard time deciding. #PacificHistoryGuide

Lovely! We used to see these blooming all over Iwakuni, which has a lot of renkon fields!

@kohala.life Can we DM? Just read your one-sentence bio and would love to pick your brain.

Looking for some help if you know #Hawaii and want to chip in! We're working on a new location for #PacificHistoryGuide 🌺

You take beautiful photos!

Getting out on social media late because I gave a @ycaps.bsky.social tour this morning at Liberty Station. Things have been going really well for the website and I’m happy to share my experiences with all of you! Our plan is get the #PacificHistoryGuide name out there more over the next six months!

Azuki is a fantastic manga reading service I highly recommend!
