And we’re live!

Please support my documentary, “New York Jianghu,” which covers the forgotten story of how the kung fu community of NYC has always evolved to meet Chinese American needs — from Hollywood to gentrification to combating anti-Asian hate. 🔗 in thread.

it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize that in 100 years historians are going to use it as shorthand to summarize the whole era you're living through right now.

It really is incredible how literally everything done by the boomers was painfully shortsighted for no reason

Some of us are just real freaks. And that’s okay!

@NatGeo @nycskylight ...and exactly how this was done through smart financing and researching grants and tax credits. Upgrading a building in NYC costs millions, so how does your average NYer do it? This article tells you exactly how. https://t.co/HHb9OEQpjG

It's time I reintroduce myself:
I'm Demi Guo, multimedia journalist covering how science, health and climate, particularly how they impact communities of color.
I combine policy research with shoe-leather reporting to unveil the stories of humans. 🧵

@NatGeo @nycskylight ...the nitty-gritty of the technology used, which helps people understand what decarbonization "looks like" on a day-to-day basis: https://t.co/7xOBdfrRPe (cont'd)

@iiwrites Hello Imaeyen! I'm interested, but can't DM you because we're not mutuals. Could you follow me back or provide an alternate way to communicate! I would love to take my fact-checking, copy editing, and multimedia skills to AJ+!

Horrified to find that writing in Comic Sans actually does make me a better writer.

I do a fun exercise about ID/place with my students where I ask “who is allowed to call themselves a NYer” and they are so quick to say “born and raised”

I complicate it by asking “what about the halal guy on 10th”

And suddenly it all unravels.

Sometimes I think about moving out of journalism, but then I get on an interview with a really passionate individual and I'm just like, "Ah, shit...I'm in this journalism thing forever."
