Is it just me or does James Talarico just give you the heebeejeebies? There’s something hiding under his persona that says “I love on a compound with my five sister wives..” Jasmine Crockett is so much more suited for the job…

When you feel like something is missing inside you, turns out you don't have to look far to find it... courage.. brains... heart... love... Oz never gave anything to them that they didn't already have! It's all within you... you just have to believe!

We three have been friends since we were babies and now one of is having a baby! I know motherhood isn't my path... ...but cool aunt who answers the phone at 2am when you can't call your parents? That I was born for. #chosenfamily #bestfriends #auntielife #childfree #sisters

I feel seen.

Some of the cruelest things people have said to me took only seconds of their day. …but the words outlast the person who said them. #Recovery taught me I get to decide what stays. Letting go takes longer than holding on, but the freedom is amazing. #sobersky #sobriety #womeninrecovery #addiction

You’ve known each other for your entire lives. Grown together through the years… closer than any sisters. A bond closer than friends, you’re one. Now our lives change. Joy and happiness but an understanding… our lives will never be the same. #pregnant #bff #plastics #friends #women #lifechanges

Recovery isn’t measured by how far you climbed from “rock bottom” Some never make it there. We hit our own wall… Our own threshold. Growth starts when you decide the old way stopped working. Your pain is valid at every level. #Recovery #SoberWomen #WomensMentalHealth #sobersky #sobriety #addiction

want to know how to make my heart squeal with joy? just celebrate with me as Alysa Liu wins gold!

Learning to say “no” changes everything. Boundaries can feel selfish. Years of making everyone comfortable nearly destroyed me. Recovery taught me my comfort matters too. #sobriety #WomensMentalHealth #sobersky #SoberWomen

Much of my life has been spent looking for validation.. …notice me… want me… like me… keep me… Part of my #recovery is to reverse this.. to become the person I'm asking others to see The validation I'm seeking has to come from within first. I am enough. #sobriety #addiction #selfesteem #sobersky

The meetings where I share honestly leave me more grounded than meetings where I just listen. The discipline of being coherent and useful enough to help another person keeps my own thinking organized and prevents drift.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Sharing helps everyone #sobriety #sobersky #addiction #recovery

While I complain about the work I've done to help make my family #lunarnewyear celebration something to remember... I actually love it My efforts may not be called out as much many people would like.. but they know I'm working in the background to make the entire family build memories for a lifetime

Well, I'm offically out of touch My neice was playing some music today... not only did I have no idea who it was.. I said.. "wow... that sucks.." ... she looks at me and says... "that's because you're old... you would understand it.." dammit girl.. you know how to hurt a person... #music #oldlady

Ancient traditions meet modern life. I'm a bridge between worlds, defined by my culture but never constrained by it. I am Texas.. and I am Taiwan. I never feel them both so much as today, #lunarnewyear Happy New Year Y'all! - 祝大家新年快乐 #yearofthehorse #新年快乐

Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快乐! Got my red envelopes… Survived my auntie asking why I’m single… still.. 恭喜发财 - my gift … a blessing for you! #LunarNewYear #新年快乐 #firehorse

Lunar New Year isn’t reserved for one #culture. It’s firelight and silk and the turning of a page that every human heart understands. The lanterns don’t check your ancestry… they just glow. If the celebration moves you, it’s yours. There’s room for everyone! #LunarNewYear #yearofthehorse #firehorse

When I was a child, I played with childish things… I played with control. With “just one more.” With tomorrow. When I finally puts those things down… the pretending, the performing… I didn’t lose myself… I become the woman I never had the chance to be. #Recovery #SoberWomen #sobersky

Would you like it on a train? Could you do it in the rain? Could you eat them in a box? Should you do it with a fox? Turns out, Dr Seuss is a lesson in how to approach #sexuality Don’t prejudge experiences before you try them…

I’ve never fit neatly into a box… I stopped trying. Who I’m drawn to depends on the person… their energy, their presence, the way they move through the world. Labels work for some people. For me, they’re like walls. Life is too short to shrink yourself into a category someone else built. #sexuality

I spent years thinking #fear meant something was wrong with me… everyone else had it figured out and I was the one faking it. Turns out, most of us are scared too. Fear doesn’t leave when you get older or smarter… it just doesn’t make every decision. #mentalhealth #sobersky #sobriety #addiction

Most chase change like it’s something we can catch. Real wisdom comes when we stop running…. the pause before we react. The breath we take instead of the word we say. We don’t become different people overnight. We just get a little more honest, one day at a time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #sobersky #sobriety

Public Service Announcement: Reading posts laying in bed can be dangerous! I just drop my phone on my nose so hard I had to get up to see if it cut my skin or gave me a bruise!!!

Asian women deserve to see themselves reflected authentically in the spaces they inhabit Representation isn’t vanity… or fetish… it’s visibility. When Asian women share their stories, culture, and strength, they reshape narratives, inspire generations, and affirm that their voices belong.

If anyone wants to know what's tops on my "Hey, she's done nothing to deserve this, but I think she needs a gift" list... Let me present... Kate Spade and Sailor Moon... <squeeling and giggling sounds> Make that two.... @raantuva.blacksky.app needs one too!

I spent my Saturday afternoon cleaning my parent’s house. Not like it wasn’t spotless before… this lunar new year tradition is something I look forward to every year. It connects me to the women in my family here and now and across the ages. 天倫之樂 - the joy of family #LunarNewYear #Taiwan

We don’t get wise by collecting answers. We get wise by staying in the questions long enough to stop pretending we already know. Change shows up in the small moments…when we choose differently and barely notice Outcomes don’t just happen by magic. #sobriety #sobersky #addiction

As we approach #lunarnewyear we sweep away dust and debris we’ve accumulated over the year to make a fresh start into the future. In #recovery we need to get into all the cracks and crevices to clear the path for growth in #sobriety You can't invite grace into a room full of ghosts #aa #sobersky

Sometimes the best Valentine isn't the one who gives you the flowers… it’s the one who realizes you are the garden. #valentinesday #truelove #noboysallowed

Somedays even Diana just has to stop and say… what the fuck… #wonderwoman

For years I wore a mask to seem like I was the perfect daughter, sister, friend. I wore it so long I almost convinced myself she was truly me. #sobriety forced me to take off the mask and see myself for the first time. The woman I found is messy, tired and uncertain… but she’s real. #womeninrecovery

I just said “how can my weird make your weird happy?” Codependency can be fun! …or… you know… cause you a lot of pain… either way… wheeeeeeee! Life’s a roller coaster! #mentalhealth #addiction #recovery

I live the typical suburban life… but somewhere in me is an ancient DNA. Lately it’s been speaking louder to remind me not to forget I’ve never been so focused on being Asian It’s probably only a reaction to the insanity of America… i think I’m on a journey to find my place between Texas and Taiwan.

Is it okay if I aspire to be a crazy old lady?

Bitter roots, cooked with care, become healing medicine. Your painful past wasn’t wasted… It is the raw ingredient for your transformation. Recovery is the heat that turns struggles into sustenance. #sobersky #recovery #sobriety #addiction #odaat #trauma

After a long evening working with clients on the other side of the world, why am I still awake? The world is whirling by and I am trying to make sense of it on half a night's sleep...

For the millions of women who changed their name, the burden put on them to be allowed the simple right to vote is inconvenient at least… insurmountable at worst. It’s gender based disenfranchisement played out in the open. The SAVE act cannot be allowed to become law! #women #vote #feminist

Life’s actually pretty good this morning! Let’s see how long that lasts!

CYBER SECURITY GUIDANCE: If your ex-girlfriend has your IG password (or any password come to think of it) you really should change it when you are done with her... A woman scorned and all... Just sayin'..... #relationship #allmyexesliveintexas #exboyfriend #imasaint

When I tell people outside the US how women are systematically being harassed and abused by the government… with people cheering on the stripping of rights… in plain sight… they are shocked. It’s hard to see the details from far away. The SAVE act passed the house today. America is so broken.

我今天保持清醒 I’m sober today. Simple enough instructions, yet some days almost impossible to perform. #sobersky #sobriety #recovery #chinese

B...bu... but... but her emails!!!!

Watch this.. we are going to do something bad in this area and they don't want anyone to know about it. This is REALLY a bad sign. I've worked in the area to the west of EP and there is literally nothing there except USBP.

I really need it to be summer... soon! #tiredofwinter #summervibes

Every time a lawmaker uses the word ‘pornography’ about something that clearly isn’t, treat it as a policy signal, not a hot take. They’re building the rhetorical foundation for bills that give the government the authority to decide what you’re allowed to see, read, and access online

Sometimes stepping out of the known and exploring concepts and ideas you know nothing about can be fun! Expanding my mind in areas where I may not even have a natural interest helps keep my spirit of exploration alive... with no downside other than a few lost hours of dipping your toe in the pool

When you work for a small company with a global presence, you find yourself working in “client hours” not “local hours”. Being the lowest person on the org chart means you get “volunteered” often! #itsaliving #engineering

It was a very weird weekend. Lots of detailed tasks completed. I feel a sense of accomplishment… but it almost turned my brain to mush. Let’s get this party started!

Lady Gaga just makes me happy!

Morning.

It’s not good to define yourself by something you’re not, but I’m truly happy to be a part of the world that doesn’t care about the Super Bowl at all Overjoyed to hear Lady Gaga / Bad Bunny showed the world we’re not all like “that” Here’s your reminder that most of the world doesn’t care who wins!
