#raciolinguistics friends. Hear me rage (politely via academia) about how people mispronounce my name. Excited to be in this book edited by Qianqian Zhang-Wu and Bridget Goodman. Come hear from some smart people.

Two images of the same sign. One translated from Japanese into English and one in original Japanese. Sign says the store is working to promote LGBTQ inclusive shopping.

In Tokyo for the marathon and love this LGBTQ inclusive sign I saw in the very large cosmetics section of a convenience/ drug store. Considering how East Asian is often portrayed as being more homophobic, this was nice to see.

My son is 15. One year younger than this child. My son is a 6’2” baby, not even close to an adult. My heart breaks for all involved in this. Two lives are now destroyed. When science repeatedly shows that kids’ brains are still developing into their 20s, how can we do this apple.news/A_b8YkCB4SB2...

Trump/Elon say these programs harm AsAms, but I’ve been in convo with AsAm students working with other students of color to defend their campus programs and student centers. Don’t believe the fascist trolls in the White House!

Killing of Transgender Man Is Not Ruled a Hate Crime, Investigators Say Law enforcement officials in upstate New York say that the torture and killing of Sam Norquist, 24, did not appear to be a hate crime.

I’ve been following this story and it’s been breaking my heart. They’re saying it’s not a hate crime because his attackers were part of the LGBTQ+ community?! There are hateful ppl in all communities www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...

We shouldn’t expect the youth to save us, but maybe they will save themselves (and us along the way. We don’t deserve them.

#LITERACY folks. Talk to me about Stand for Children and Nell Duke's work with them and the Gates Foundation around literacy...is it hard core SOR or a little more balanced? I know Nell’s work is pretty balanced but wondering about it in context if Stand for Children…

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.

This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
