Michelle Yeoh's mom secretly enrolled her in a beauty pageant after injuries derailed her ballet dreams.

Daniel Kwan's mom told him to go to film school.

Ke Huy Quan's mom let him accompany his brother to a casting call for Indiana Jones.

The Tiger Mom is a racist stereotype.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

People often assume that capitalism is defined by "markets and trade". But markets and trade existed for thousands of years before capitalism. Capitalism is only 500 years old. So what is distinctive about this economic system? Three things (well, more, but three for now):

[The Zombie Formalist @AutoArtMachine]

@Iron_Spike @caitlinthehob And often the ability to persist is a function of privilege.

@GESSwrites Apparently, I never check my Twitter.
