@loopcombos @katharineumm Quoted for truth.

[Dr Ally Louks @DrAllyLouks]

They’ve introduced the acronym SHAPE (Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts for People and the Economy) due to the success of STEM and it doesn’t really work because “women in SHAPE” sounds like a comment on our bodies.

@keithchandlerr For additional perspective, I recommend Kao Kalia Yang's memoir, The Latehomecomer. She's a bit older than Suni, but also grew up in the Twin Cities after her family resettled in the US

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@keithchandlerr The Hmong originated in China, where they're known today as the Miao. But ethnic politics there are incredibly fraught today.

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@keithchandlerr Unlikely. Thailand has its own Hmong population, but they've historically taken a dim view of Hmong refugees from Laos.

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@keithchandlerr Basically none.

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@keithchandlerr Yes, but they were (and are) a persecuted minority. Suni's grandparents fled Laos to escape discriminatory policies and ethnic cleansing.

@katharineumm I'll join you.

Did the PRC change the water chemicals in 2010 or something? Fortified with something to ensure that the LA generation of gymnasts would have DTYs

The best DTY in China rn

@wagbiles Do not antagonize the gods and deities.

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@kmkeirns Bully for you.

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@imisstheamanar Shang Chunsong. She's already doing Parkour, so it's not a huge stretch. And she was so deeply, deeply wronged in 2016.

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@c072133 Shhh....

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@kmkeirns @aijwilljo Then what is the point of this discussion?

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@kmkeirns What is your point, exactly?

[Dejected Calico Cats @WenProf]

@yuhangyuan_ Ke Qinqin's career is over now, isn't it? I'm going to write her off now to spare myself the heartache later.

@LambchopJustin Thank you!
