i understand bc almost every major english speaking news outlet is blaming the bamboo but the authorities specifically called out the netting, so this is a really weird narrative!

All she wants is forgiveness.

I hope Alice’s memory is never sanitized. She supported free Palestine. She believed in deep pleasure for disabled people, sexual, aesthetic & otherwise. She was unflinching in calling out people’s bullshit. Don’t let the mainstream turn her into some desexualized defanged inspiration porn!!!

i feel some kind of way seeing a photo of the checks rose o'neill (invented kewpies + was one of america's first known women cartoonists) got in like. 1917 for $700 & $1200 & being like haha wow. the salary for artists hasn't caught up for over 100 years. sickening

if you've changed your name and avatar more than three times and notice i am treating you different it is because i do not know who you are and i am frightened

what's funny is that white dude is trying to argue that a woman who was a close political ally of known hard right, nationalist, and fascist ex-pm ABE shinzo, who herself is hard-right, nationalist, and fascist is somehow not because americans in america have it worse with real fascism or something

honestly one of my favorite things, seeing just how quickly some non-asian (usually white) dude who's never been in asian longer than two weeks decides he knows more about asian history/culture/behavior/politics etc., than any asian woman

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

Do I always have a listening ear for when my friends are going through a crisis? Yes. I will drop what I'm doing. Do I care to chat about fucking memes and fandom stuff at all times? Absolutely not. It's about time people learn that these things are not the same when it comes to response times.

No-one is entitled to your time and undivided attention that exact second unless they're paying for it. People have lives.

Maybe it makes me a bitch but I've stopped caring if people have trauma that makes them think people who don't instantly reply hate them. It's on to them to work on that trauma, I shouldn't have to drop everything to reassure them to my own detriment. Okay, rant done.

I used to be super apologetic and bend over backwards to respond to people ASAP to my own detriment because otherwise they might feel upset or get angry. These days I lead with 'I may take a long time to reply ;A;' and if they can't handle that they should find another friend.

For that person who needs to hear/read it: You’re not being ignored. You’re not less than. You matter too. We all do. It’s just that WE’RE ALL going through it. And we, as people, can only handle so much in our own orbits. Thats not selfish to acknowledge because that is our sad GLOBAL reality.

About a month ago, Alaa met her goal on GoFundMe-- and then they pulled the ground out from under her. The GoFundMe was cancelled and the pledges were returned. This is, unfortunately, something that happens to Palestinians on a regular basis; her account is genuine.

Hey, friends and comrades, I want to draw your attention to something important. My friend Alaa is trapped with her family in Gaza and needs assistance. Here's her daughters. Here's the link, but I'm going to talk a little about what happened. (Please boost!) chuffed.org/project/1252...

Your Chinese friend on rednote is not translating the incredibly racist , sexist and transphobic stuff their uncle reads and constantly absorbs for you. This is why your Chinese friend on rednote is not a complete research resource.

This is lesser known but calling Asians "emotionless", "robotic", and "inscrutable" is Orientalist.

Anyway it’s this xenophobia of people who have different backgrounds being criminal, terrorist or suspect that is the rot infecting our political parties and communities of various types and regions

I wrote about those TikToks from Chinese factories that claim to "cut out the middleman" for Lululemon, Birkenstocks, and more. They're designed to entice US shoppers who are nervous about tariffs and used to low prices. Most claims are also probably bullshit. www.theverge.com/tech/649049/...

I’ve talked about this and I guess I’ll make a follow up ko-fi.com/post/Im-Sick...

Every single day someone is like I dont know anything but clearly it’s a super county full of social safety nets and factories that make my stuff right Fuck off lol

American workers struggling : somber and extremely serious Chinese worker struggling : lmao these wily Asians are gonna pull one over us with 5000 years of kung fu

If your response to artists worried about their income is “just make it by hand” I don’t think you realize that even if that were an option for folks, materials to make things by hand are also about to be tariffed.

me, a chinese person: i think we should have conversations about sinophobia that also discuss the chinese state and its interests in using it for cover the densest people: are you a CIA agent

Me : Chinese people in consumption , race politics and classism is neither better nor worse than most western people The densest people on the internet : this is Sinophobia

Anas has social media in Gaza that predates the war, is #83 on the Gaza Vetters list docs.google.com/spreadsheets... and his older brother is @osamabasilps1.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before. Anas and his family are living in tents and trying to survive but they are focused on their future ❤️

Great story by @elichen.bsky.social #WUNC on Asian grocery stores and shops in the Triangle. How the new tariffs will impact these businesses is a whole other issue, of course. So wonderful that we have a AAPI-in-the-South focused journalist at @wunc.org! www.wunc.org/race-class-c...

Because the aim is ethnic cleansing of people rather than damage to xi

16 holds is not enough. I need another library card

Whenever you see the lovely suburbs around Seattle, especially Bainbridge and the wealthy Eastside, never forget they were ripped away from Japanese American fruit and flower growers.

Their specialty spell is Haste #art #ink #sketch #dnd

Bernie choosing the moment where people are being disappeared into forced labor prisons to talk about border security and tough immigration laws indicates that he will take the least resistance road of American politics when it suits

Even convos around 'white guilt' have had outsized influence on us bc white people are so unfamiliar with taking responsibility that they can only engage the subject in an unsophisticated manner instead of seeing you can benefit from & perpetuate systems you didn't create or you can dismantle it.
