I spent the last two yrs looking at the photographs of my friend Corky Lee and thinking about anti-Asian hate.
This piece at is possibly the most ambitious thing I've written that's not a book, so please take a look!

"The story of Asian America is the shared time of living multiple times at once. We weep again, the second time together."
Even though the essay is not about the massacres, the sense of time shared, fragmented, a story as grieving a second time just hits hard today.

🙏 thank you for this beautiful essay so we can weep again but together. Amanda Ngoc Nguyen wrote today about “dividing sadness” so that the burden isn’t too heavy. Your essay has done this for me today.

“To weep once is just to weep… Without storytelling, we would only ever weep over something once; then we would either stop weeping about it forever or never stop weeping about it. Regret requires that time be both discrete and multiple. From one time, you revisit another.”

Being Asian American and being adopted to a white family is extremely lonely when you have to deal with racism and tragic events alone without your family understanding...

I'm really exhausted. There should not be 33 mass shootings in 2023, just twenty-two days into the Gregorian calendar new year.

Unconfirmed report shooting was IPV & gender based. Stopping violence against Asian Americans is not as simple as prosecuting “hate crimes” because causes/solutions are multifaceted. Must keep context in mind 1/ twitter.com/scottkurashige…Show this thread

Turned the money I was going to get for an event at my alma mater into a scholarship for an AsAm student. Lucky to have had a good couple of years that made it possible to afford to do this.
