Violence Against Asian American Women Is Rooted in More Than Just ‘Hate’

When we talk about violence against us, I also want to note that not all of us are Asian American. There are a number of undocumented Asians who’ve also experienced violence, and many have reached out to tell us that when we use the term Asian American, we can exclude them. So it’s important to hear that, and also note that we shouldn’t conflate Pacific Islander with Asian or Asian American, because our Pacific Islander communities are experiencing other forms of egregious violence as well.

Who the hell knows what 2022 will bring? I'm terrified of the upcoming elections, terrified that Congress will sit on passing any type of climate change bills, just terrified in general.

Here's the trick: You will be rewarded for working like an animal, but you also will be treated like an animal. People will keep hurling things at you. No one is going to ask you if you need help. No one's going to ask you if it's time to stop. When you're really ambitious, the only thing that's going to stop anything is you.
