I can’t watch #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce without sobbing. 😭 It’s a movie that makes me feel seen. It’s also a movie that reminds me of my mother. When she visited me in Seattle, I made my mom watch the movie twice. My essay: https://t.co/UzZJZUil5T

10 years ago today, I was working a weekend shift @seattletimes when word came in of a landslide near a small town named Oso.
It turned out to be the deadliest landslide in U.S. history.

The death of George Floyd and a rise in Asian American hate crimes in 2020 changed how author Curtis Chin shaped his memoir about growing up in Detroit in the '80s. Here's what he shared with us about his writing process, coming out and his new book. https://t.co/WKq8NjK8oc
Curtis Chin on memoir: "I want people to pick up the book thinking that they’re going to learn about an Asian American family, but they’re really learning about America and particularly about America at a very pivotable point in our country's history." https://t.co/wo3B0PhGv9
Upcoming @ubookstoresea and @UWTInvolvement events next week: @Curtischin on "Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant."

My mom died last week. She was my biggest fan and the light of my life.
She was a staunch believer in the power of news. So much so that we included this in her obit:
“In lieu of monetary contributions, we ask that you hug your loved ones and subscribe to a local newspaper.”
