Just four more hours for the IT'S AN HONOR JUST TO BE ASIAN #APAHM t-shirt campaign and the limited-edition hoodie—all proceeds benefiting @EWPlayers! (Thanks @JLin7 for repping!) customink.com/fundraising/IA…
Meanwhile, at the special request of the lovely and talented @thetamlyntomita, the IT'S AN HONOUR JUST TO BE ASIAN limited Maple Leaf edition campaign has been extended three days, so get yours in before this special Northern version is gone!

Also, folks: DON'T BE FOOLED BY IMITATIONS! 100% of the proceeds of the shirts at this link go to support East West Players—the nation's oldest Asian American theater company. If it doesn't have the @EWPlayer logo on the back, it's a scam! customink.com/fundraising/IA…
UHHHH WOW I THINK I KNOW WHOSE ORDER THIS IS 😳 (thanks TT)

OLD SCHOOL IS THE BEST SCHOOL
One of these years there’s going to be a legitimate nostalgia campaign around A. Magazine, probably after I’m dead 💀
So many important writers and editors came out of A. Mag and so many now-blooming phenomena, institutions and creators were showcased there for the first time.

It was such a blessing to help bring that era into existence. I wish what we did was better archived, pre-digital-era.

Good thread on Ben Shapiro’s ahistorical (and frankly racist) claim that “the West invented science”; even better thread on how the Right is leading America to abandon it. It’s bizarre to even see Shapiro die on this hill while conservatives proudly advocate scientific denialism.
Adding to the thread: Empirical observation and materialist rationalism, the roots of what would become scientific method, emerged out of Egypt, Babylonia and India. Experiment and quantification (and the use of hypotheses and testing) originated in the Islamic world. See: Geber
Meanwhile, Chinese scholars were doing taxonomic observation and sophisticated engineering before Europe even existed, though the road to scientific method got sidetracked in mysticism there (shakes fist at The Book of Changes) and didn’t re-emerge for millennia.

Thread: For #APAHM I'd hoped to announce the release date of AMERICANIZASIAN, a book collecting my online comic strips about Filipino American & Asian American identity & experiences, but since my publisher @ImageComics doesn't seem comfortable publishing it, I need your help. 1/
When I pitched AMERICANIZASIAN, a Partner compared it to a female cartoonist's collection of political cartoons—many of which are anti-Trump—& described both of our books as "angry" & with "no story for people to relate to," implying her book was a mistake & mine would be too. 2/
The Partner—a white man—said my work should be "more positive" & implied that my AsAm experience would be more relatable if it was like PEN15, a show that reminds his half-Japanese wife of her childhood (the protagonist is half-white, half-Japanese—I'm neither, I'm Filipino). 3/

Thanks to Chairman ⁦@RepHankJohnson⁩ and Ranking Member ⁦@RepMarthaRoby⁩ for holding a hearing today on diversity in the innovation economy and allowing me to present my research! #Honor #LostEinsteins #LostKatherines
Focus of my research & testimony: macro implications of suboptimal allocation of talent when women & URM aren't included at each stage of innovative process -- STEM ed & training, practice of invention (patent teams), & commercialization of invention. #LostEinsteinsAndKatherines
In addition to my research with Chaleampong Kongcharoen and Yanyan Yang, my testimony cited related work by Hunt, Garant, Herman, and Munroe; Hsieh, Hurst, Jones, and Klenow; and Bell, Chetty, Jaravel, Petrova, & @johnvanreenen. #LostEinsteinsAndKatherines

A #data informed look at how the #human experience of #lawyering has changed over time.

Just as #clients need better #value propositions, #law firms need better business models. Meaningful #legal #transformation will occur where the two intersect.

legalevolution.org/2019/02/pay-ho…
H/T to @augierakow @robsaccone for the post #inspirelegal 🤓 email chain that #inspired this tweetable.

(Bc I’m a tweetable factory. 🤷🏻‍♀️)
Another reaction to this @wihender post: we NEED to deal with #automation anxiety in #legal.

Legacy models of law practice aren’t built for the pace of #business and volume of #information of the #digital age.

More #hours from more #lawyers can’t be the default answer.

Since 2014, Tennessee has left thousands of applicants for the state’s Medicaid program (called TennCare) in limbo. We’re suing. splcenter.org/news/2018/10/0…
Tennessee is required to determine Medicaid applicants’ eligibility within 45 days — but since 2015, at least 21,552 people have had to wait longer than that (sometimes months longer) to get treatment or medication bc no decision has been issued.
No Medicaid decision means newborns who can’t get monthly checkups and people with chronic conditions who can’t get medicine. Four years after we first filed suit, Tennessee is still averaging 330+ people/month who can’t get medical care bc they don’t know if they have insurance.
