My brain is still having trouble accepting that our new football team is not the Commodores and honestly I’m a little disappointed. youtube.com/watch?v=FrkEDe6L…
This whole thread. Damn, @nhannahjones delivered some straight up education on MLK Day. Amazing.
I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

On the heels of respected journal @MichelleLiTV being criticized by a viewer for being “Very Asian” comes this beautiful piece by @marianliu. Here’s to 2022 being the year of being So Damn Asian All Day Every Day.
I've always been ashamed of my Chinese name, but after covering anti-Asian attacks and representing my community, it's time to be proud of who I am. New year, new byline wapo.st/asiannames #VeryAsian

My son just referred to Winnie the Pooh’s friends as “Piggy the Pig” and “Hank the Donkey” and I’m feeling like I failed the Classics unit of Parenting 101.
I just….can’t we bury this dumb racist font forever already?
Korean women have won eight of the last nine @Olympics golds. With three top qualifiers, they’re poised to add another. 🥇

I cannot believe I never knew this story before today.
Now that #TokyoOlympics is underway, let's talk about Olympic medalists Sohn Kee-chung (손기정) and Nam Sung-yong (남승룡) - who were forced to compete under the Japanese flag during the 1936 Olympics. #Tokyo2020
This is a really great in-depth profile a brilliant artist and composer. Hope to see more work like this from @elenasb_ in the future.
I got to profile Caroline Shaw, who continues to be a maverick in classical music and beyond, for @nprmusic. Many thanks to @artsorority, a generous, sensitive, and sharp editor (and person)—one of the best out there! npr.org/sections/deceptiveca…

A legendary director gave his entire presentation in Korean, and then everybody’s halmoni just won an Oscar AND flamed Brad Pitt. I’ve never been so proud to be Korean. #Oscars

One a night when some incredible AAPI artists who are being celebrated at the #Oscars, please remember: we are not just people of color when we win awards. We are also people of color when we are every day targets of racism, violence, and discrimination.
Omg, my heart is filled with joy to see this! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, @LindaSuePark, for creating this website featuring kids’ books by Korean Americans and Korean diaspora. I’m so excited to share this wonderful resource.
