One more thing…

Fierce Planet Posted on October 17, 2022 by jnfrOctober 20, 2022

And then I’ll get back to US politics, I promise. After years of waiting around and negotiating behind the scenes, BTS has decided to go ahead with their mandatory military enlistments. Kim Seokjin, the eldest of the group, could enlist within the month after the release of his latest solo work. I love the way BTS and BigHit are handling this. They’ve been jerked around enough by the SK government trying to profit from them while holding enlistment over their heads. Both BTS and ARMY went through a lot, emotionally, since Festa dinner this year. For the most part fans … Continue reading →

BTS Concert in Busan – free to view tonight

Fierce Planet Posted on October 14, 2022 by jnfrOctober 18, 2022

Over on Twitter, I realized that I have not seen a single mention in western media of the huge, free concert BTS is performing in Busan, South Korea on Oct. 15 at 6 pm KST. That’s tonight at 3 am MDT for those of us in Colorado, so I’m looking at another all-night romp. The concert is free to attend, and the non-transferable tickets ran out in minutes. The effort is in support of the city’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo, to show that what seems like a sleepy seaside city can present a major world event. Fortunately … Continue reading →

Good morning!

Fierce Planet Posted on September 3, 2022 by jnfrSeptember 23, 2022

Not sure this Biden speech will change many minds, but I am so glad he said what he did. It’s a moment in our country’s history that deserves recognition, and the danger must be named. I think he named it well, and judging by all the fainting and whines today, other people think so too.   I haven’t posted much recently because I’ve been busy. In addition to writing up my thoughts on the midterms, with a reference guide to the most important Senate races, I spent a couple of days following virtual sessions of Netroots Nation 2022. I live-tweeted … Continue reading →

Hobipalooza tonight! July 31st

Fierce Planet Posted on July 31, 2022 by jnfrAugust 3, 2022

Catch j-hope’s set on Hulu, scheduled for 10 p.m. eastern time. May have been extended. May start early. I wanted to give a shout-out to DeafArmyEducation, who arranged to ensure Hobi’s set had ASL interpreters. Armys! If you’re wondering how there is a request for interpreters for #Jhope performance. I AM THE ONE who reach out to Amber Interpreting Production Team to confirm they are interpreters & request them for J-hope’s performance. They are aware of our Deaf Army fanbase. ☺️ + pic.twitter.com/vkTTl4Nu2j — Deaf Army Education⁷ (slow) 🤟💜 (@deafarmyedu) July 31, 2022 Edit to add, 8/1: What a night! … Continue reading →

Hobipalooza — Checking in with ARMY

Fierce Planet Posted on July 27, 2022 by jnfrJuly 27, 2022

Continuing thoughts on the complexities of ARMY, only peripherally about j-hope.💜 Quite long. I have looked again and again at the My White House Day With Army post. I don’t write romantic. I really never write romantic. And yet this is the most romantic thing I can imagine writing in my entire life. I’ve thought a dozen times that I should delete it, but I can’t. All I see is an honest account of exactly how I felt that day. It was a peak day in my life, and though I’m embarrassed, I can’t be sorry for it. We’re all … Continue reading →

My White House Day with ARMY

Fierce Planet Posted on June 9, 2022 by jnfrAugust 14, 2022

ARMY is the collective name for fans of the k-pop group BTS. To be ARMY is to be part of a community, and that community is made of love. To be ARMY is to have a constant source of hope and joy, and also to feel seen and comforted in your darkest moments. ARMY fans can be found in all countries, in all languages, of all ages, of all races, of all genders and identities. I am 68 years old, bisexual and married, in rather poor health, with a long life behind me as a progressive activist. I have lived … Continue reading →

Remarks by BTS

Fierce Planet Posted on May 31, 2022 by jnfrDecember 1, 2022

They spoke to the issues of Anti-Asian violence and the need for respect and inclusion. Translation by @modooborahae. I love how they center issues of equality and diversity and respect for all individuals. Plus, of course, a shout-out to ARMY. They always remember that. ETA: All the fan translators are heroes.
