A gunman has murdered ten people and injured over a dozen others in Monterey Park, where tens of thousands of Asian American families had gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year that day. He is still at large.
This should be getting way more coverage in media. A terrible act.

i love panto. it’s camp, ridiculous and silly. it’s theatre that speaks to volumes of people who don’t ordinarily go. it’s family bonding and joy.
but what I don’t love white people playing aladdin, fake limb difference hook hands and peg legs and anti-semitic villain costuming.

If agents truly want diverse stories, they need to get used to diverse story structures and methodology.
Pacing is different. Character agency is different. Plot structure is different.
BIPOC stories aren't just Western structures with different skin colours and mythologies

My sister was trapped in #Ukraine. This is a thread about her incredible journey to reach #Poland. During her escape she experienced #racism, injuries, freezing temps and sleep deprivation. Her story is only one of the hundreds of thousands of people trying to get out.

Personally, I don't think I'll ever shake Ryan Tubridy's words from my head. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the casual racism, but I just didn't expect it, so blatantly, and from so many broadcasters. "They all look like us". 🙄

As an Arab, it's psychologically damaging and traumatising to see how many of you care about conflict, refugees, and war crimes now compared to when it made me a refugee, when it displaced my family, and when it destroyed my country.

Hey, , how does one make a complaint about the lack of ramp access at your Romsey restaurant? I mean you do have a ramp, but it doesn't fit the doorway, your management were so so rude, forcing me to eat outside in the rain. A unique experience.
