The most scathing critics of Silicon Valley circa 2014 barely scratched the surface of the treachery these companies have shown.
Providing your products to criminal regimes planning to use them to violate human rights on a massive scale is a choice!
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.
When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”
Video + interview with her and her daughter:
A cream Shiba Inu stands on a park bench on the Brooklyn promenade. It’s overcast.
Georgie surveys her queendom
ABC News: “Subway service disrupted on many lines due to various issues during evening rush hour”
I don’t know why but I really like this headline
words filled a book
bombs filled a school gymnasium
“Slurs filled a chat” is a beaut
there’s a wasian Instagram guy who makes little videos where he identifies a “wasian of the week” celebrity and then looks it up and finds out they’re just Jewish and it keeps happening and ngl it’s pretty funny
It’s funny cause he was actually talking about “consciousness hygiene” (clinical, sterile) but in my mind it ended up all lush and leafy, possibly bc I was thinking about his writing about food?
I mean, I fully intend to and feel weirdly grateful to Michael Pollan for touching off the train of thought. I’m filling my mind with vines and lush foliage!
I skimmed an article about Michael Pollan’s new book and thought he was comparing consciousness to a garden and proceeded to get very into the idea of cultivating my consciousness garden, only to realize that I fully misread a word or seven and kinda made that whole thing up
It was such a pleasure to interview attorney Bryan Stevenson about the photography of Gordon Parks as he curates a new showing in London.
His vivid and intimate colour images from 1956, showing the daily disgrace of the segregated South, remain extremely pertinent to this day:
My parents called me and my siblings Eurasian when we were growing up. And my sister and I liked it bc Armistead Maupin wrote that all Eurasians are beautiful in tales of a city. I’ve only come across wasian in online spaces but it does seem to have legs with the younguns
satire
Right? Like wasian is obviously a derivative term that evolved out of blasian, no? I feel strongly that blasian well predates wasian
Oooh thank you!!!
fwiw I am continuing to solicit interesting/good/deranged takes/tiktoks/studies about wasians/hapas/eurasians/multiracial asians/etc
send them my way please my brain is already broken but not yet my spirit
just watched a reel that included tiger woods in “wasian”, lying down, hold my calls
Apple weather app showing that it’s 32 degrees in NY and about to start snowing ffs
lol what the fuck
in my day we called that quapa
Ooh this is me. I feel like me and my sibs are true OG JewAsians
Gen z I guess? I’m much too old for it and cannot abide
If you happen to see a particularly good reel, would you send it my way?
Ok this was probably inevitable but has anyone read/seem/heard anything good/thoughtful/interesting about ~Wasian~ identity?
Interested in anything from academic papers to TikToks to what have you. 🙏🏽
Oooh thank you

will never stop being incredible to me that the son of a lawyer (and grandson of an architect) who went to hotchkiss (hotchkiss!) gets graded on a curve cause he’s “working class”
