    The Opposite of Drowning (paperback, ebook) is perfect for people who: - believe in destiny - want to get lost in Paris - watch the Food Network all day - might be the reincarnation of a mythological temptress

    So-called “amateur athletes” are in lock down in Indy, about to play in the amazing NCAA tournament and thinking, gee, maybe we deserve a slice of the $800million pie. And they’re tweeting Time for a THREAD after you read tweet... 1/

    The NCAA OWNS my name image and likeness. Someone on music scholarship can profit from an album. Someone on academic scholarship can have a tutor service. For ppl who say “an athletic scholarship is enough.” Anything less than equal rights is never enough. I am

    Just a reminder that the term "biological sex" appeared nowhere in US law before North Carolina passed HB2. It is a legal structure that emerged for the sole purpose of excluding trans people from public life.

    On how hundreds of Capitol rioters were able to walk away that day, and the consequences of that for the ongoing investigation -->

    Per newly unsealed charging docs, a man was arrested at the Capitol on Jan. 6 after assaulting police with a pole, but didn't end up being booked by MPD "due to the chaotic nature of the day" and was released without being charged

    As if these things aren't related and based on centuries of sexualized and submissive stereotypes of Asian women. White supremacy is rooted in misogyny and racism.

    New: Atlanta shooting suspect told police he had “sexual addiction”, “indicators now may not be” racially motivated, says Cherokee Cty Sheriff Frank Reynolds.

    Just because the dude who did the racist murders can't identify his own racism and just because the dude in a leadership role in a racist organization/system can't identify the dude as a racist murderer, doesn't mean those murders weren't racist.

    In light of what has been happening all year and what happened tonight in Georgia please consider helping Asians by donating to these mutual funds.

    Made an active google doc (linked here) to help consolidate Asian American community and justice organizations to look into, mutual aid links etc. Many of the orgs linked need donations.

    These bills will bite everyone. And if you can’t be decent enough to figure out that you should support trans people at least stop signing up to have leopards eat your face.

    These bills harm trans folk first, but they’re definitely coming for cis folk too. Whether that means cis kids forced to have traumatic/unnecessary medical exams because someone doesn’t like how they perform their gender or efforts to take women back out of aspects of public life

    Anti-trans bills related to sports are - first & foremost about pushing trans people out of public life. But they are also about entering into the record over and over again this (false) idea that cis women are universally weaker and less competitive than men.

    Sen. Hyde-Smith introduces performance data comparing cis women and cis men to justify banning trans girls from girls sports but the data does not include a single trans athlete.

    Denouncing violence against Asian diaspora is more than just denouncing direct violence. It's denouncing "funny accents" It's denouncing "jokes" about massage parlors It's denouncing people that surround themselves in Asian culture and refuse to speak in defense of it.

    My heart goes out to the Asian community. Please keep the victims and their families in your prayers & make sure to donate/share links to donation info if you can. Don’t spread any pictures of that m^rderer. Don’t give that terr0rist the satisfaction.

    As long as I cannot afford home ownership, I will continue to be at a disadvantage to my white peers. We must focus on lifting up Black and Brown homeownership by ending discrimination in lending and racial profiling in the home buying process.

    We have relied on homeownership as a strategy for Americans to build wealth but today it's harder for families of color to achieve that. Among white families, 74.5% owned their own home as of Dec. 2020 compared to 44.1% of Black families. I'm working on a bill to change this:
