I sometimes hear people ask why #Boulder is so white. This is a remarkable 4-part series from @KUNC that may not about Boulder specifically, but it's about a lot of our surrounding areas and gives a lot of context. It's a must read/listen. 👇 (1/x) Here is an interactive map that shows the decrease in diversity in the Mountain West. (2/x)

Yes, exactly. The definition of "Taiwanese" or "Taiwanese American" is something that has continually evolved. I will attempt to unpack it a bit 🧵👇(but may oversimplify and make some mistakes, so pls correct me if ! do). Paging @TaiwaneseAm_org. #AAPI #AAPIHM @TaiwaneseAm_org First, a generalization. People in Taiwan can largely be categorized into three groups:

I feel another long thread coming on. 🧵👇 Bear with me. This one's about my fundraiser for @aaja and more generally about the importance of having people of color in the newsroom, and you're going to see me touch on #StopAsianHate and #BoulderStrong. Here we go. @aaja On March 20, just a few days after the mass shootings in Atlanta that killed six Asian women, I started a fundraiser
for the Asian American Journalists Association on Facebook. facebook.com/donate/1440515…

This is such a great story. And a good reminder about how much we had wrong a year ago. nytimes.com/interactive/20… About a year ago, most thought masks should only be worn by first responders and people showing symptoms, and not by the public at large. The WHO erroneously told us that #COVID19 was not airborne and was transmitted through droplets on surfaces. We've learned so much since then.

[LONG THREAD 🧵👇] I want to tell you about my grocery store, the King Soopers in Table Mesa that is less than a mile from my home in #Boulder. I walk there. I bike there. I drive there. I shop there. It may be part of a large grocery store chain, but it's very much a neighborhood store. My husband was just there on Friday for our weekly food run. I popped in on Saturday. Yesterday, I biked with my 5 y.o. to the bagel place in the same shopping center to pick up breakfast.

I've started a fundraiser for @aaja over on FB and am asking people to donate to help support the Asian American journalists who are doing so much hard work right now. If you prefer to donate directly, I'll post alternative links 👇 #StopAsianHate facebook.com/donate/1440515… You can donate directly to AAJA here: aaja.org/donate/ You can also donate specifically to help AAPI journalists with mental wellness resources needed to process trauma resulting from both their work in the media industry and their daily lives. gofundme.com/f/AAPI-journal…

Thank you to @Junie4Boulder @rachelkfriend @marydoloyoung @AaronBrockett12 @bobyatesboulder & the rest of City Council for appointing me to #Boulder's Human Relations Commission last night. I'm grateful for the opportunity and look forward to working with my fellow commissioners. In my application, I talked about my desire to work on racial equity issues. It was surreal/sobering to be watching council proceedings at the same time as I was reading news about the murders in Atlanta.
