Hi all, this is the only official site in support of Jennifer Riordan, who died yesterday on the Southwest Airlines flight. (Thank you to @ericazucco for confirming.)

If you’re able to send support to the Riordan family, please do so and/or RT.

caringcent.com/sparklejennife…
I didn’t know her personally, but Jennifer Riordan’s reach in ABQ was far-reaching. We had a number of mutual friends, all who have said how truly special she was. This is a tragic loss for her family, friends, and the entire ABQ community.
Words to live by from her family: “In her memory--please remember to always be kind, loving, caring, and sharing."

1. The first time I felt seen was in my elementary school library. I was by myself, as all my classmates had already picked out books for their book reports. I had the wild idea to find a book written by someone w/my last name but found nothing. Determined, I kept looking...
2…and then I saw it. I grabbed the book, clutched it to my chest, and jumped in elation. I couldn’t believe it!

Someone with MY last name was SO important there was an ENTIRE book on him!!!

My parents had to gently explain to me that I was NOT related to Robert E. Lee.
3. There were few other AsAms in ABQ, NM. When we played the celebrity look-alike game, I always got Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, which, you know, you’d prob have to be them to make that stretch. Looking for an AsAm author or book was part of my desire to belong, to be visible.

Dear @minjinlee11,

My parents and I have never been able to share any literature with each other because despite our being decent at both Korean and English, I can’t read full-length novels in Korean and vice-versa. /1 Min Jin Lee's Pachinko in Korean and English
So when @teddygoff lent me his copy of Pachinko, I had the idea to wait for the Korean-translated version so I could read it with my mom. In our inaugural mother/son book club, we discussed what that time was like for my grandparents and my parents. /2
We discussed the suffering of women / mothers, the wide range of immigrant experiences, and the meaning of grace. For me, it was so striking to see Asian male characters who were dynamic, attractive, and varied. Thank you for this wonderful gift you’ve given us and so many. /end

I don’t know much about hockey but something VERY special is happening in Vegas right now.

This is a classic sports story in the making. It shows how sports can bring healing and solidarity to a community after a horrible tragedy.
2/ In every game this season, the @GoldenKnights have honored heroes and remembered victims from the Oct. 1 shootings. I went to a playoff game a few weeks ago and witnessed the emotion first hand. It was reminiscent of sporting events after 9/11.
3/ Fans told me how this postseason run has helped the local community heal. These people have been brought together by tragedy and now are being brought closer together by hope.

Yesterday, I got to fulfill a dream I’ve had since I was 9 years old - I got to return to the village of Avebury, in Wiltshire. There, in the fading light, I got to see one of England’s most monumental and significant neolithic remnants - the Avebury Stone Circles. THREAD /1
Around 5,000 years ago, during the late Neolithic, large ceremonial complexes, barrows (tombs) and other ritual spaces began to appear in the Wiltshire landscape. We all know Stonehenge, but its slightly younger sibling, Avebury, is perhaps even more impressive in a way. /2
Avebury is a henge, a huge circular space surrounded by a ditch. Within, there are 3 stone circles - although some are now covered by - or constitute - the village. There’s also an avenue of stones leading out of it, towards the West Kennet Long Barrow - a burial site. /3

Hi FYI this whole article is bullshit start to finish. I promise you “rural whites” live in the Southwest and we work in kitchens and processing plants that are majority immigrant workforces and you know what?

We learned fucking Spanish. washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/…
The people being described in these articles are what we call “kinda racist.”

I don’t know what the fuck happens to you when you live in the Beltway that you literally become incapable of seeing racism but something’s in that water.
(Nobody is arguing that rural racists don’t exist, they are exhaustively documented. Just they’re not the only people who live outside a metro and it’s shitty journalism to continually imply they are.)

As CIA Director, he met with Kim Jong Un secretly at Easter. No guarantees but its a start

Twitter is having issues on its API right now, the bot will be back soon.
Sorry Twitter still have some issues, the bot is back but could throw some error to you, if it is the case just retry in a few minutes. It should be better in an hour or so.
It is such a pain to be dependant of an external platform...
