Check out the picks we’ve highlighted:

"Asian America, in its formation, is a political one."

@aafcollective's new zine talks about the history of anti-Asian racism and offers resources for community and care in the face of #COVID19. https://t.co/PvRrYf2xE9 @aafcollective

[Teen Vogue @TeenVogue]

"I'm hopeful that dark-skinned Asians, curvy-Asians, and Asians-who-don’t-“look”-like-Asians will eventually be accepted and represented in the Asian narrative, too." https://t.co/BwG63z4N3c

@kayee13 @VanessaMatsui @averagejenn @TheVLin "Representation is normalizing Asian people in all walks of life.” —Jennifer Liao (@averagejenn) #ShareHerJourney

The Farewell is still going strong 💪

Also how lucky to be graced @thumbelulu in a one on one q&a 🤩

[Nancy Wang Yuen @nancywyuen]

In ‘Abominable,’ Asian Actors Play Asian Characters. Also rare for a big-studio animated feature, it’s centered on a modern Chinese family. Will it help change the lack of Asian representation onscreen? Even its supporters are unsure. https://t.co/7LMDxl4yST

Simu Liu responds to #SNL newcomer Shane Gillis' racist remarks: “It wasn’t funny then, and it sure as hell isn’t funny today. This word has been used to dehumanize my people for over 150 years. You don’t get to use it in the name of edgy comedy” https://t.co/e8F5nWNlEP

Big congrats to SNL writer @bowenyang who will step in front of the screen and be the first full time Asian American cast member on #SNL! https://t.co/AqpWlf56uJ

We spotted @ConstanceWu at #TIFF2019 for @HustlersMovie. She was an absolute sweetheart and we can’t wait to see the film

Mulan is meant to bring representation, be a warrior and fight for those who can’t, so to support the authoritarian choice it is not what Mulan stands for, think about that before you choose sides.

[Not Seen On TV @NSOTPodcast]

Not the statement we’re hoping from our Mulan. To support police brutality against Hong Kongers who are fighting for their very freedom, the very freedom she gets to enjoy because HK set precedent years ago, this is disappointing.

[CNN International @cnni]

"I support the Hong Kong police. You can all attack me now. What a shame for Hong Kong."

Hong Kong protesters call for 'Mulan' boycott after star went public in support of police https://t.co/2beVDzleHd

[Simu Liu @SimuLiu]

It’s true!! (Although it will be more about the story of my whole family and the struggles they faced coming here)

I’m so excited to work with @HarperCollinsCa to write this book. Quick question though... can we get @VancityReynolds to ghostwrite it

[Kim's Convenience @KimsConvenience]
