Today's good thing: On this date in 1942, FDR signed Executive Order 9066, calling for the removal of nearly all people of Japanese descent from the West Coast of the United States. They were to be rounded up and "contained" in internment camps, including camps in this state. Now, the state of California is planning on officially apologizing for its role in this act. There have been various apologies and acts of reparations on a national level since, but this is coming from a state level. A state that had a particularly large role in internment. I'm glad to see this is happening, and would love to see the rest of the West Coast states follow suit.

161/514 Good Things

Today's good thing, is The Good Place. You may or may not have watched this show, but I just watched the series finale, and it was perfect. This show was a comedy, but it made you think. About life and death, good and bad, and what happens to us after we die. The subject matter isn't something you would think to apply to a comedy, but it just works. It's on Netflix. If you are able to, I highly recommend watching this show. I feel blessed and honored that this show exists, and that I got to watching from episode 1.
