Thanks to the folks who came out to last night's @wunc.org event at Epilogue to talk about how outdoor workers need protections from extreme heat!

I learned so much from our guests (see my scrawly drawings pic), including that folks can help dehydrated farmworkers by doing electrolyte runs!

Folks are filing in at Epilogue Books for @wunc.org's Scorched Workers community conversations event tonight! Looking forward to this discussion about extreme heat's impact on outdoor workers

happy year of the snake y'all! earlier today I was working with photographer Huiyin Zhou on a story that will air in the coming weeks and they gifted me a couplet that holds some relevance this year

it translates to: "the road is obstacle-packed and long, but we will get through if we keep going"

my plans this morning got canceled due to the weather so instead I am just perched at my window watching cars screech to a stop at the icy tree that's leaning over the road

Hi, I have returned after spending Dec in Taiwan to see my grandmother (who I had not seen in 19 yrs) and I already miss the food, tea, trains, 7-Elevens, plant-lined, moped-clogged streets, and all the mountains 😭

growing up in Chicago, my family usually would do hot pot for thanksgiving - these days I'm no longer close with them but I'm grateful to my partner and the friends I've made since moving to NC and being able to keep this tradition alive with them

when the sun gets lower during this time of the year, it hits my window rainbow suncatcher - and I love to watch my dog walk through the rainbows like she's starring in a 90s skittles commercial

I see all the pieces on turkey/mashed potatoes/green bean casserole prep but can I get a read on how my fellow azns are gearing up??

I'll share my hot pot list (gf and vegetarian friendly for my loved ones)

There was a high demand on NCAAT's election protection hotline especially for Korean-English translation.

Jennifer recalled helping an older Korean man who wanted help casting his first vote as a naturalized citizen, but did not have any family or very many friends nearby.

when two 2nd gen taiwanese americans and their indian american friend (who only just learned what a mooncake was) get together to bake mooncakes for the first time, the results are, at the very least, underwhelming and not aesthetic lol

nonetheless happy mid-autumn fest! 🥮🌕
