academia is:
universities releasing statements denouncing anti-Asian violence all the while never creating Asian American Studies departments nor hiring the Asian American Studies scholars that would help them actually understand the root cause of anti-Asian violence.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Monterey Park.
Ming Wei Ma was a dance instructor & owner of the Star Dance Studio. He was described as a caring person with a selfless nature. He was the first to rush towards the shooter to try & save others.

"The violence is normalized."
On Monterey Park + the cycles of trauma for AAPI communities, especially seniors, who face growing stress, anxiety, PTSD + depression:

We can't talk about #MontereyPark without talking about Domestic Violence in the AAPI community. The subject is still taboo but we must uplift AAPI survivors. According to 55% Asian women in the U.S. report intimate and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. 🧵🪡

In Vietnamese, consolation is called “chia buồn”. The phrase translates to “dividing sadness”. The community divides up the pain to ease the burden of grieving. Last night we paid our respects to the mass shooting victims at Half Moon Bay and picked up our share to chia buồn.

The Thinx lawsuit/settlement is really wild. I've spent hundreds over the last several years on the period underwear, and they've been lying this whole time about them being toxic free.

Bengals are facing a third-stringer and undrafted rookie at QB, along with a host of other backups. The coin flip isn't happening, so maybe no more whining?

I keep seeing takes on how remote work makes people lonely and idk how to tell y’all this but if work is your main source of social interaction on a daily basis, that’s not healthy 
That’s what friends and social events are for.

Honestly, I’m praying even harder for Megan now.
Because healing doesn’t end with convictions.
Because misogynoir gets worse with accountability.
Because an entire culture and media landscape failed her before today.
I pray her peace, safety, and wellness

My colleagues at reviewed over 500 hospitals.
Two-thirds of these hospitals sue patients or take other legal action against them, such as garnishing wages or placing liens on property.
One fifth deny non-emergency care to people in debt.

JK Dobbins averaged 9.6 ypc last night. Gus Edwards averaged 7.9. Between the two of them, they got one carry in the fourth quarter. ONE.
Meanwhile, Ravens averaged 3.8 yards per passing drop back.

The U.S. spends more on the pentagon than China, India, the UK, Russia, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and South Korea spend on defense COMBINED.
Imagine if we stopped spending $858 billion+ on pentagon pork and spent it on healthcare, education, & housing instead.

Many staff still left there are immigrants who can’t just quit, because Twitter sponsors their visa. A factory owner who controls his workers’ papers and demands they work all day AND sleep at the plant is usually called a sweatshop boss and human trafficker.

NEW: The BBC has obtained pictures of inside Twitter - rooms that have been converted into bedrooms - for staff to sleep in.

A #Teamster driver just told a picket line at UC Berkeley that he has over 100 packages that he won't be delivering to campus. "We’re in the same fight, and we will deal with calls from angry customers and bosses if that means we all win more!" #FairUCnow #UAWonStrike #UCstrike

A hidden crisis in state govt is the high "vacancy rate," which is the amount of job openings in state govt. Prior to COVID, we had challenges filling certain positions but as the table shows it has now expanded to virtually all of state govt having double digit vacancy rates.
