Self-care isn’t glamorous.

When something like this happens, you look out at the people you know, and like, and love, and live with their voices in your world, and you want them to speak up, less because you dare to hope that it will change anything than because, when they don't, you feel smaller and alone

As an Asian American, I firmly and unequivocally denounce our allying with white supremacy and white domination in order to earn our place in this world. Our proximity to whiteness will not save us.

What would happen if migrants on boats with limited resources were also seen as brave explorers gifted with curiosity and wonder for depths unknown, I wonder.

It’s Juneteenth AND reparations. It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs. It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid. It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country. Black liberation must be prioritized.

It’s disappointing that no one from the @beefnetflixtv team or cast has spoken up or even acknowledged the issue, while Choe is *actively* trying to suppress the video on Twitter via copyright claims.

Finally watched the David Choe interview and it was sickening. The blatant misogyny, racial fetishization of Black women, misogynoir, and degradation of massage workers… it was all disgusting and laid out extremely plainly.

In the many horrors unfolding (border deaths, decampments, police killings, genocidal occupation), remember cruelty *is the point* Humans are capable of empathy & logic, but *systems* of violence are built to control, subjugate, dehumanize, oppress. Cruelty is always the point.

serious colonial violence enacted in the dtes today. turning off cameras, smashing someone’s smudge bowl, destroying property. so many resources wasted to displace an already displaced population. these funds could be funnelled into programs and services instead. just vile.

every goddamn day

I need to go to bed but keep thinking about how the Oscars Best Picture is about an Asian girl who searches across the multiverse for a version of her mom who would understand and accept her and I just can’t stop crying

Success of EEAO: don't pander to a white audience and make weird-ass content FOR the people you're representing.

it’s about damn time. tonight is dedicated to all the Asian moms, immigrant moms, single moms, working class moms who sacrificed and swallowed bitterness so their children could walk through new thresholds, break through artificial ceilings, and etch their names into history.

As a queer first generation Korean immigrant growing up poor, dyslexic and deaf in one ear, I’ve struggled to feel a sense of belonging-especially in tech.

@EMWilliamsCan @gradientspaces Thank you so much! Congrats on all your success w Chaos Calling 👏🏼😍

@jeisoderulo @gradientspaces I 🤍 this a whole lot. You’re so good at what you do.

Above all, the most nourishing part of my time volunteering with @gradientspaces has been the friendships I've gained. + The pride I feel in being part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. 🌈
