My 5 yr old boy came home and asked me why bigger kid kept calling him Chinese Boy. My son, confused, told the boy I’m a New Jersey Boy. He laughed it off but my eyes welled up. 50 yrs ago my parents immigrated here but we cannot shake shadow of foreignness. #StopAsianHate THREAD

In the Philippines, the names of kids are often portmanteaus of their parents’ names.

For example, the daughter of Maria and Delfin would be “Maridel.” Homil and Vina’s son would be named “Hovin.”

What would be your name if it was a portmanteau of your parents’/guardians’?

I like to read the comments on my workout videos and today was rewarded with this gem: "Instead of eating all the snacks during quarantine, I'm going to become the snack." #snacktime

What gets me is he’s ready to proceed, as a cat. That’s some dedication.
