Education is a process of #unlearning. We might not have the right story and there is nothing wrong with wanting to relearn fundamental concepts to better understand longstanding issues in the history we were taught. Learn from each another.

Resharing this thread to mark the start of #APAHM, as well as the evergreen reminder to try and include more women and non-binary voices in your APAHM event lineups!
Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month 🎉 there’s gonna be a ton of programs and corporate events and parties but know none of it means a single thing unless you value AAPI of all socioeconomic backgrounds all year long 😃💜
Saddening to see how this ended. Really got me reflecting on how many lives are at the mercy of policies that more often protect the oppressor more than the oppressed.
Rest in peace Nagen. 🙏🏽

BREAKING: Nagaenthran Dharmalingam has been executed.
His name will go down in history as the victim of a tragic miscarriage of justice.
Hanging an intellectually disabled man because he was coerced into carrying less than 3 tablespoons of diamorphine is clearly unjustifiable🧵
So incredible to see @bts_bighit@BTS_twt turn all of Las Vegas purple… making history! Sold out 4 nights, 100k+ people… that’s some Korean Power!! #army#bts
What a moment for Hoyeon! She radiates pure joy on that stage 🥺
Through her overwhelming outpour of emotions she managed to deliver her speech beautifully through her tears. She deserves that standing ovation!

I wish her only the best in her upcoming projects and acting career! She has quickly shot up to become one of the most endearing young stars I've seen to date both on and off screen. Looking forward to her shining brightly again in the future.
To fortify my Asian American sisters, here is a 🧵 of some Asian badass women. Please reply with more, especially from a diversity of Asian ethnicities!
As a person of color from a modest family, I have felt both *hyper visible* when hated and hunted and *invisible* when ignored and underrepresented in most spaces of power. I never take my race off and leave it at home. It’s neither a bad nor good thing. It’s my lived experience.
The murder of Michelle Go is really fucking with me today.
She was just a year older than me, and one of the things my parents always warned me of when I rode the subway alone as a kid was to always keep my back against the wall while waiting on the platform.
One thing I’ve learned during the pandemic is to choose to be kind or to mind your business, in most situations.
My opinion doesn’t always have to be shared. Criticizing people (especially publicly) says more about me than about them. Being a hater is a waste of everyone’s time.
