Asians for ICE don’t wash their rice.

I don’t know if people have realized that we have lost well over a decade of our lives to Trump. Like, he’s literally polluted our lives, our families, our communities and it’s years and years of rage and lunacy thanks to him and his supporters.

Again, turkeys are 70-80% off from today onwards and last a year in the freezer.

If you’ve got a chest freezer in the garage that’s good soup, stew, and smoker meat for the whole winter for a really good price.

If you give Jonathan Bailey a leaf stone, he evolves into Ryan Reynolds.

Fox News be like “Gender is binary but predatory behavior against children runs on a SPECTRUM.”

Young conservative Asian men in the USA are proof that you can truly be anything in this country; even f*cking stupid.

Me refusing to respond to an urgent work email on a Sunday.

With all due respect to Jonathan Bailey eating a popsicle, the Padma Lakshmi/Mellissa King duo — whatever that may be — is hands down the hottest moment of 2025.

His parents were also very supportive of his art and it was most likely his appreciation of communication through the arts that helped make him the brilliant speaker he is today.

If your Asian parents start comparing you to Mamdani remember to counterpoint with the fact that he was allowed to persue a liberal arts degree in Africana Studies and was a musician before stepping foot into politics.

Florida is a state that answers the question: can a country get appendicitis?

Mamdani is now going to implement Shakira Law. A blanket ban on lying for all hips is now in place, wherever and whenever.

Mary Sheffield isn’t just the first Black woman to be Detroit’s mayor. She’s also the youngest Black woman to be the mayor of a major US city (being a city with a population of 250k or more).

I hope he’s in the White House just prolapsing with rage while watching the news.

I said brrrr… it’s woke in here

Some great news to wake up to across the board. Coming into the holidays with just a little bit of hope.

I’m not saying it’s an automatic yes but a candidate for mayor or governor who can only do that job plus a couple more… it’s attractive to me.

Lately, I think a new greenish flag of mine for electing a state official has been the fact that they are ineligible to run for president. I want a politician who is here to do the task at hand without worrying about how their actions can affect a run for the presidency later on.

If the leader of your church is wealthy, you do not go to a Christian church. You go to a capitalist church that performs Christinan drag.

A fake competition in every circle on who can appear to be the most good in however they define it; stuck in a sick performance of morality drag.

We used to be so proud of how much effort we put into keeping religion out of politics but we didn’t spend any keeping capitalism out of Christianity.

The US Evangelical Christian mindset is from that same seed. That’s how they can call empathy a sin with a straight face. That’s how they use doctrine to demean women openly. And this mindset spread and has everyone desperately trying to feel superior in any way we can.

Americans will never truly embrace any kind of substantial societal betterment until we stop thinking of poverty as a punishment that was earned. This “deservedness” is the seed of morality that grows in a capitalist mindset and that permeates everything from education to politics to worship.

I hate gay Halloween because what do you mean you’re In Need of Six Eggs?

Damn. There’s so much going on in the US right now and I have to wait till I’m already back inside to talk about it 😭.

I don’t want to get stopped at the border for being too sassy.

The people are not bogged down by the antics of their leadership, imperfect as it may be, they don’t have to think about it and it’s reflected in the way they just live.

I didn’t realize this was something that you could miss.

Coming to China for the first time since before the pandemic I’m taken aback by a general optimism in the air. Like a feeling that things will be okay and that life and the small things can still be fully enjoyed and appreciated without a mental caveat or reality check.

Minorities manage to hold onto their cultures even when they are the smallest group in a country. If your culture is under threat because you’re not *majority enough* then your culture wasn’t that rich to begin with.
