https://t.co/POpXfNskst Tomorrow!!! @timpanyu I appreciate when people reach out beforehand to ask. But then many of them still said my name wrong...? (pronouncing my Korean name as "Young-min") @timothypanyu I should have tagged Timothy Yu at his new account @timpanyu. Please follow this account!! Excited to share our HYBRID conference! It’s an East Asian studies conf, but my co-organizer & I wanted Asian American studies to be a part. Hopefully scholars from the 2 fields can present together increasingly more. Keynotes by @timothypanyu & Rey Chow. Registration required! @hanjoseph It’s good! Tastes kind of like peanut makgeolli if you’ve had that!! @JihyunYun2nd I feel you, so much! @timpanyu Same, I write times in both zones. I really appreciate when people do the conversion, though I'm also fine if they don't do it... But ever since I've been in HST, I did notice that very very rarely anyone converts for me even if they know I live in Honolulu. When you ask someone that you know is in a different time zone to do something (e.g. Zoom event, call, task with deadline) do you give the occurrence time in that person's time zone or where the thing is taking place? If you've been on the receiving end, do you mind either way? That provided a too-brief respite in my distress over my tresses As I stared in the mirror with horror as my hair was getting butchered, the client next to me asked his stylist, who was Korean, why all Koreans have such great skin and she said "I don't know... (long pause) kimchi?" 3 weeks ago I was getting the Worst Haircut of My Life and the stylist made it worse by saying she once cut off a chunk of a client’s ear but she’s only still cutting hair now because the client was nice about it “despite probably being a lesbian.” Like every minute, a new horror Join us virtually on 4/12 (in five days!) in celebrating the launch of Diaries of a Terrorist, @loma_poetry's debut poetry collection, in conversation with @PENamerica's new book, The Sentences That Create Us: Crafting A Writer’s Life in Prison.

https://t.co/Dvm4Un0h8F The book is the winner of the A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize, selected by @aimeenez, who says the poems "ignite questions of desire and justice rarely offered--unless one amalgamates folklore and childhood in such a brilliantly expansive, moving way." Order: https://t.co/jbwwSg8HP2 Danni Quintos @dleighquint's Two Brown Dots (@boaeditions) drops NEXT WEEK! Read her poem in The Margins @aaww here & get excited:
We pass tobacco barns / printed black & grey on color film / The horse fences are music staffs / guiding us to a crescendo

https://t.co/A2J9x2D97m @lisaluxx_ @samforbreakfast I just DM'd you, lisa, but the short answer is yes as long as there's credit! @MeanMisterKien @MikiDezaki can you not? @samforbreakfast Ugh say hello to Philly for me!! A beloved city @aadeleon @AAAStudies @dollyli @CAAM Congratulations!!💐💐💐 Everyone watch Shusenjo (by @MikiDezaki), an expansive documentary that centers on the Japanese denialists of the “comfort women” history but also tells so much about related political/social issues in contemporary Japan. accounting is the art of keeping, silent, upper classes are aware of this, the algorithm is simple, i stare, at young faces, white walls, each one promising and blank,
