In 2020, I decided that I would opt out of systems where I as a #LGTBQ #AsianAmerican inherently and systemically am disadvantaged. It's time I reward myself instead of fighting an impossible fight where statistically, I will never gain from or be acknowledged for my work.

it's the ultimate white flex to say that your race is your advantage. #blm #StopAsianHate

@kofi_button How is it that your CS can't update the email address I have associated with my account after I no longer have access to the email? You are the only service that requires verification on the old email. I don't want to lose my supporters by creating a new account!

Why do all #VR keyboard suck? aaaand go…

When will @facebookapp moderation algorithms be able to catch casual #racism? Because white moderators certainly don't.

I invested in materials for this season based on my steady trajectory of growth, which I believe now may be disrupted by not having the Star Seller badge. I obviously can't prove it and it's still early, but I am definitely worried that I'll be taking a hit this season.

why are people surprised that the #Olympics are problematic?

@gentle0riental 🥲

I love it when white people talk about racism like it isn’t their problem.

@EugeneLeeYang with a rake, mom.

#AsianAmericans are so often faced with literal silence when we speak out against racism. Bystanders, watching. Silence tells me that my experiences are too foreign to be relatable, and too foreign to deserve your empathy and outrage. #SilenceIsNotAnOption

[Alan Chao 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🇹🇼 @acd]

I never knew the pain that comes with silence (especially friends) until the last few weeks. Now when I see another Asian calling out racism and microaggressions, I DM them to say that they are seen and that I share their frustrations. #StopAAPIHate #StopAsianHateCrimes

I'm abbreviating my last name on packages from now on.

[Alan Chao 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸🇹🇼 @acd]

when a package arrives like this, I can’t help but wonder whether it’s because an Asian last name was on the box. @Walmart @FedEx
