I decided to try giving the Asian American Journalists Association est. 1981 convention in Austin the #TSTheErasTour treatment. #AAJA24 #aaja

What a weekend. Asian American Journalists Association est. 1981 convention where I got to see legend #conniechung speak live. And now I end it with seeing Ali Wong live. #AAJA24 #asianamericangirlclub #aliwong

Two of my fellow journalists/AAJA members will be on this panel next weekend for the Asian Corporate & Entrepreneur Leaders conference. Cheering them on! #AAJAAZ AAJAArizona x.com/queenkv/status…

😄Appreciate Mitt Romney's humor but can he name a Bey or Taylor song? Also, "binders full of women" seems like a few lifetimes ago. #DNCConvention2024

Black don’t crack & Asian don’t raisin! 🤜🏿🤛

There was no #Beyonce at the convention after all. But let's not forget P!nk and her daughter were awesome. #DNCConvention2024

Still processing seeing a multiracial woman both Black and Asian American become a presidential nominee of a major party. Still not sure why some outlets say Asian American and some say South Asian. #DNCConvention2024

Just remembered Mindy Kaling played Ben Affleck in her play, "Matt & Ben." Guess she felt a special kinship with the character. Hence, "Hang in there!" #DNC2024

Happy National Dog Day! though Teddy asks isn’t that every day? #nationaldogday

One of two The Associated Press stories I've had come out within the last week that I meant to post. apnews.com/article/fergus… #racialreckoning #ferguson

One reply I got to my The Associated Press story: "I am a Christian. This is just false...Of course the church decries racism in any form and so does Jesus. It’s the mean [sic] tenant of Christianity." apnews.com/article/women-…

I love when The Associated Press is cool with my writing about food. 😂I noticed a lot of Asian American spins on weekend brunch. To me, there's something redemptive about it having grown up in an era where people looked down on Chinese, Indian, Korean, etc. cuisine. apnews.com/article/asian-…

"A Chinese government official’s personal chef prepared “Nanjing-style salted ducks” that were delivered to Sun’s parents’ home." apnews.com/article/former…

Just going off the X recaps and chatter....first The Bachelorette fails to get more Asian suitors for Jenn and you have one suitor with assault allegations and now her pick also treated her badly. They really seemed to have done the 1st Asian American #TheBachelorette dirty! 🥀

#RIP dad 💔

That's my story being cited. And yes, this rumor going around about #Haitians is pretty much cut from the same cloth as the tired stereotype about Asian Americans and dogs.

Reposting this The Associated Press story I did in January. I'm sure a lot of AAPIs were triggered by this unfounded rumor brought up in #PresidentialDebate2024 that immigrants in Ohio are eating people's pets. False, disparaging claims like that can do real life damage. apnews.com/article/asians…

This past week has been intense for us at The Haitian Times. Threats, a canceled gathering, and our editor being swatted—yet we’re standing strong. Grateful for the support from journalists and leaders. We’ll continue covering Springfield and shining a light on anti-Haitian hate.
