@GraceHwangLynch@chowleen@estarLA Maybe it’s different high school by high school? Or concentration of ethnicities? It was definately Taiwanese church camp with cousin that I first heard of the Cure. It’s starting to mirror Bay Area microclimates!
At my very not diverse school it was impossible to stand out in anyway. All that to say this is fascinating because I felt so isolated and is something I want to think about more but that’s all the time I have on Twitter again the end. 4/4
Only back on Twitter because this conversation - feel like I missed out on as a goth kid. In the barely north bay west delta (BAY AREA!) my Asian friends were solidly into RnB (my karaoke game is solid in this dept) but I felt like the only Asian into New Order et all 1/4
friends, my 3rd gen japanese american, gen x, orange county-bred partner just told me he had no idea asian americans have an affinity to bizarre love triangle and other new wave and i just...
But realize there’s lots to unpack here other than music - ethnic n racial diversity of schools n what alliances r created,also belonging and where n who people feel safe being “weird” around. Felt normal in the context of cousins community (2/3)
@GraceHwangLynch@chowleen@estarLA It’s even different 4 Gen X in diff parts of Bay Area. My older cousin grew up in Fremont had this exp, learned about alt music from her! In Benicia my Asian friends were into RnB. I was the weirdo who ❤️ New Order (Depeche Mode mostly tho.) I feel like I missed out on something.
Once upon a time in another life in another place she was an opera singer and actress, after I was born she moved to the US to be with family n became an accountant until her retirement. She still sings with a group and performs around the Bay Area. Thats the tweets. 😭❤️❤️❤️ 2/2
Re-emerging on this cursed timeline from the delight n overwhelm of #awp23 n the glorious everything of Everything Everywhere All at Once n a text from my 78 year old Aiee: "I'm so happy, I've never seen so many people like me on the oscars stage" 1/2
@alyssaharad@lesbrains@PKhakpour Thank u and signed! SakuraCon that is happening in April at the same venue and is requiring masks in all areas unless eating and drinking in designated areas - is possible and should be done. Linking to their policy here https://t.co/Evo4iU3knT
1/2 Taking a break from most socials for the rest of the year to recalibrate and grieve. I need the space also not sure about staying on here. (I deleted Twitter back in 2009 and only came back for the writing community)
My Popo passed away last Sunday. She lived a longer life than most of us could hope for. She moved to the US when I was born and lived with us and I spent all of my time with her. All my earliest memories. The naming of everything, in her voice. I miss her. ❤️
