What’s the most Asian non-Asian thing you can think of?
No points for this
I’m going to go with what my grandma used to call “Kasuko”
Ooh, how about california rolls
I also just wanna say
Wait did no one add Bizarre Love Triangle yet
The perils of Asian immigrants reusing old jars like they’re family heirlooms. This is full of homemade gochujang, in a strawberry preserve jar. Let’s just say that I taped the label on there after a very bad PB&J experience. Image
Dang I forgot: multi-level marketing schemes

Yes it’s happening right now, a maskless Karen eruption in my local Trader Joe, the same one where I got coughed on and cursed at for being Asian by a different white lady back in March Image
“I’m due equal treatment under the law”

“State civil code says...”

“No I will not let you do my shopping for me, that is not equal treatment under the law”
It’s like a uniform

A lot of people are saying “if Shuri becomes Black Panther then we lose the Storm x Black Panther storyline”

Why would we have to lose Storm x Black Panther if Shuri becomes Black Panther 😒
Now I need a picture of Shuri on the throne, Storm at her side, if anyone has one
Given that there are no mutants in the MCU yet there’s nothing stopping them from making Storm any age they want. And of course...Letitia is 27 so they can age up Shuri by the time this storyline begins anyway

My latest @CNNOpinion: I wrote about the passing of Alex Trebek and the specific legacy he left us: A sterling example of how Dems should behave in a post-Trump world

(hint: no hugs, no compromises—just speak truth, fulfill promises and get sh*t done)

Thank you @arthur_affect for sharing your first-person insights for this piece!
“Even as we forcefully roll back the consequences of's reign of error, we need to find a way to bring the tens of millions of Americans he piped out into the wilds of conspiracy paranoia and racist vitriol back to the fold of a working democracy.”

Watching THE BOYS and enjoying the storytelling and superhero critique, not so much the depiction of Asian people
Am hoping Karen Fukuhara gets to be more than a mute feral pet at some point
Can he talk? Given that he’s an Asian male character, I’m assuming he’s either a pathetic victim or a raging asshole, is that a fair guess

The US government has invested half a billion into Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody therapy as part of Operation Warp Speed. It’s still in early clinical trials. The target for it is people with “exceedingly high levels of the virus.”

If the president recovers because of his experimental Regeneron therapy, he has the hard work and sacrifice of Chinese hamsters to thank Image
Underscoring again that this experimental Regeneron therapy that is first and foremost for people with very severe viral loads and/or high risk factors who have not yet produced sufficient antibodies. Could be precautionary or could mean things are worse than they look.

Holy crap I was just fucking kidding Image
Even if she’s negative now, she may very well be surrounded by people who she’s infected. There’s a potential viral pocket around her, and who knows what the source is and who’s interacted with that source.
Also HOW THE HELL IS THIS JUST COMING OUT NOW
