The #LunarNewYear is a time to celebrate the beautiful traditions of our Asian American communities. I wish everyone a healthy and prosperous new year.
Whether you recognize this year as the year of the rabbit or the cat, I hope it brings you peace and happiness.

I need everyone reporting on the devastating #lunarnewyear shooting to know a few things about #montereypark (thread)
#MontereyPark is home for my diasporic family. It is where you find the best damn Chinese food in the U.S. It is the 1st Asian ethnoburb: an ethnic enclave in the 'burbs that thrives b/c it refuses to assimilate, instead unapologetically catering to its own immigrant community.
Formerly an exclusive white middle class suburb, MP became “the first suburban Chinatown” by the 80s, when "highly skilled" Asians, SEAsian refugees, and working class undocumented immigrants started settling in MP and its surrounding areas now known as San Gabriel Valley (SGV).
Last week, students at the University of Toronto were shocked to find joss paper or ‘hell money’ inside red envelopes distributed on campus during #LunarNewYear celebrations.
Now, 31 student groups are calling for action.

“The act of giving (hell money) to living people draws disdainful sentiments and sends them the message of ‘you are dead to me’ or even worse, ‘l wish you were dead.’ reads the open letter signed by 31 different student groups at U of T.

After the incident, the university issued an apology, stating the “incorrect bank notes were unintentionally placed into the red envelopes” as members of the U of T Graduate House.

The #YearOfTheOx begins with the #ChineseNewYear on Friday, but for many Asian Americans, this year’s holiday is marked by anxiety and unease, a stark contrast to the usually hopeful attitudes for luck and prosperity. 🧧🧵 by @johannacli:

2/ “We’re trying to be as hopeful as we can because that’s what the New Year is – having hope that the new year will be better. But realistically, the next three or four months will be very tough for us.” – Patrick Mock, manager of 46 Mott Bakery in NYC

#LunarNewYear is just around the corner. What will the Year of the Ox bring? Some optimism, because the sheer chaos of the previous Year of the Rat won’t happen again for another 60 years, Chinese astrologers say.

Besides COVID-19, astrologers have pointed out that the first Opium War, the American Revolution and a famine in India that killed as many as 10 million all happened during the so-called “Year of the Gengzi,” which occurs once every 60 years.

Though many Chinese people dismiss such beliefs as superstition, it didn’t help COVID-19 cases spiked right at the beginning of 2020. The #YearoftheOx, which starts Friday, will bring release from the air of depression, but there's more: astrologers say

"Today, #China faces the spread of another mysterious disease, a #coronavirus, which so far has killed 17 [+] people & infected > 540 [++]. And while Beijing’s response has improved in some ways, it has #regressed in others. It is #censoring criticism."

"It is detaining people for spreading what it calls 'rumors.' It is suppressing info it deems alarming. Though China’s censors are busily scrubbing the Chinese internet, the... online community is registering its disappointment & alarm over Beijing’s handling of the new virus..."
CCP "has tightened its grip on the internet..media & civil society. It has deeper pockets & a greater ability to control the flow of info.[Thus], many of the media outlets, advocacy groups, activists &others who held the gov't accountable in 2003 have been silenced or sidelined."
Thread on internet connectivity in #Wuhan, #China:
Network data from the last ten days show a gradual fall beginning 17 January 2020.
The decline is consistent with population exodus as residents either flee the city closing up shop due to #coronavirus or for #LunarNewYear 📉

Diurnal internet connectivity falls similar to #Wuhan were observed in the US last year corresponding to mandatory hurricane evacuations.
These can be distinguished from power outages and flooding, with #HurricaneDorian the most recent reported 🌪

On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.

Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).
1/18 With the MSM fear porn push of highlighting 17 deaths I thought it timely to do a dig into #CoronaVirus #SARI #QAnon
2/ Wuhan was once briefly the capital of China, and is located in central China. Cities are beginning to be put in lock down just as #LunarNewYear celebrations see mass movement of people as they return to their country homes... #CoronaVirus #SARI #QAnon
3/ Wuhan has the only lab in China capable of studying the virus, along with SARS, AIDS and Ebola. The lab forms part of China's “One Belt, One Road” initiative... #CoronaVirus #SARI #QAnon
A quick break from #BlackHistoryMonth to talk about the #LunarNewYear - I did a similar search for Chinese representations in Canadian official war photographs, and found 10 results. Here's a little #thread about them -
