No response. I went out in the street to look for her.

The social audio play also means Spotify podcasters like Joe Rogan and Bill Simmons could soon broadcast in real time, rather than on delay, while musicians might one day be able to broadcast their concerts or other recordings live to listeners.

using "asian-american" is a blanketed term, at times.
there are 48 countries and 2,300 different languages spoken on the continent of asia.
plus throw in war histories, imperialism, migration, immigration, 1.5/2nd/3rd gen. et
the asian-am experience is nuanced.

this is really really important and makes me feel so seen.
colorblindness is also a form of racism.

my friend’s mom was a housekeeper at a hotel. Pls always tip. they work really hard, deal with a lot of discrimination and even sexual assault.
and still have to go home after shifts to take care of their families.
My parents didn't teach me to tip hotel housekeepers. (It was their only shortcoming.) But ever since I learned that you should, I've become an evangelist.
Always tip the housekeepers. And tip every day, not just at the end of your stay. (Shifts change. Workers get moved around.)
