I just sent an org-wide message at work promoting a Lunar New Year event I'm organizing, and I included some festive Zoom backgrounds I created that prominently feature horses, but I forgot to mention in the message that it'll be the Year of the Horse, so now it just looks like I'm a horse girl 🤦♀️

In the afterlife of Chinese myth, a dead war general will face an eternity of torture—unless she can fool an immortal court into believing that she and her murderer are lovers.

When Alex's sister goes missing, there is nobody in her small town she can trust. She must cut through lies, secrets, and her own paranoia if she wants to save the little that's left of her family.

How do you find out who you are when your family history has been systematically erased?
My memoir, WHERE THE TIGERS DIED, explores the adoption industry in South Korea, mixed race identity, Korean pop culture, and what it means to visit one's ancestral homeland as a foreigner.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.
ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I tried going to Mamdani's inauguration today but the crowd was huge and I didn't get anywhere near City Hall, and instead I quite literally bumped into Curtis Sliwa while I was trying to find my friend so... interesting start to 2026

One of those bike rickshaw things outside my apartment is blasting My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas (why???) while a million people are honking their horns in case you're wondering what NYE currently sounds like in Manhattan... I am on the couch and will not be leaving my apartment at all tonight 🥂

Spending the holidays with extended family who know about my writing is hilarious because they'll have one too many glasses of wine, tell me the most embarrassing things they did in 1967, and then look horrified with themselves and say "DO NOT put that in your book" lmao

The cashier at the wine store was trying to flirt with me and told me my freckles were pretty and I responded "thanks, it's the sun damage" so if I'm ever single again I'm screwed because WHY did I say that 🤦♀️
