Readers who want to know more can find academic editions or secondary research. This edition's lack of bibliography, very limited notes, and endorsements (most of them aren't scholars!) indicates that the audience isn't specialists. It's everyday ppl, even first-time readers.

[Dr. Pam Yee @februarygal]

Professional editor here: what's never mentioned in these attempted takedowns of Wilson is the book's intended audience. It's NOT a full critical edition for scholars but rather aimed for a general audience. So oversimplification is expected, perhaps even encouraged, by the press

i actually think its very easy to not use chatgpt like all you have to do is not use it

A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn’t have a budget issue—it has a values issue.

@JoshC0301 @fredleept Yes, THIS! The white gatekeepers keep insisting that PoC authors just keep writing trauma porn and have historically refused to publish anything else. I hear horror stories all the time of PoC writers being asked to change their fictional characters to white ones

@Euphoria51790 @Lilli1859357 @W_T_Han And that's all before you even talk about how accessible and affordable the canon is. And we haven't even discussed lang barriers! Some of us lost our fluency b/c our American teachers encouraged us only to speak English, even in the household.

[Dr. Pam Yee @februarygal]

@Euphoria51790 @Lilli1859357 @W_T_Han As an ABC, I have to say that it's far more complicated than "choosing not to learn." There is so much embedded racism that teaches you to be ashamed of your culture. If your parents didn't teach you (b/c they're busy working multiple jobs), it can be hard to pick up on your own

@poemsway You don't think people in Asia eat or want to eat Asian food more than once a week? This is just common sense. But ok, challenge accepted. Show me the stats that prove that the majority of ppl living in Asia don't currently eat or want to eat Asian cuisine more than once weekly

[Dr. Pam Yee @februarygal]

Such a willfully ignorant and xenophobic take. You really think the average Asian American is making daily meals with 44 ingredients? Have you never heard of fried rice or stir fry? Also, nobody wants Asian food "more than once a week"??? Half the globe would disagree

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

Love Asian cuisines, but they absolutely are the worst to cook at home. You have to buy 44 ingredients to make one dish and it’s not something you’ll want to have more than once a week. Extremely time intensive and best left to the experts. I took a Vietnamese cooking class once and the ingredient list to make it at home looked like a scroll.

[Dr. Pam Yee @februarygal]

@poemsway I didn't know I needed statistics to prove half the world's population lives in Asia. Current population of Asia is 4.7 billion of the world's 8.3 billion, which is 56%. My point stands.

[Dr. Pam Yee @februarygal]

@poemsway Cool, eat whatever you want.
But yeah I'm mad the OP is a hypocrite: for someone who claims to be progressive, she makes assumptions abt Asian cultures that reinforce stereotypes of AAPI being foreign or exotic. It implies we're not American, just cuz our food is a lil different

[trash jones @jzux]

if you needed another reason to stop using chatGPT, here are a few

-openAI president greg brockman is currently THE top donor to Donald Trump
-ICE is using chatGPT to screen job applicants
-openAI is leading a $100m push AGAINST AI regulation and safety laws

[✨🌙SAILOR ❤️ MOONBLOOD🌙✨ @arhythmetric]

This food discourse felt very frustrating for me because it was so othering in how we discuss mental health and who gets to have it recognized. Asians and Asian Americans also experience issues with executive functioning. We also have depression. We can also be neurodivergent

@Etanarachel Obviously the correct answer is to make Zeus a black swan!

I swear, the way these racists try to logic...🫠
