They told her no one goes to a bar to watch women’s sports. Jenny Nguyen proved them wrong
The Sports Bra is set to become a national franchise, helped by an investment from Alexis Ohanian, the Reddit co-founder and Serena Williams’ husband.

Watching games with no sound was among a long list of challenges in watching women’s sports at bars. But this time, it served as a tipping point for Nguyen and ended up launching an entire movement.

Y’all. I have won parenting. 🏆My teen and some friends on a call wanted my advice about how to handle boundaries with another friend. Teens who want a grown up’s opinion - they do exist!!

Dear Black community, let’s center our healing and continue to resist! My Chicago Sun-Times piece explores #radicalhealing for Black Americans thru personal/collective care, #radicalhope, and #joy: “Radical healing isn’t enduring—it’s action rooted in care, resistance, and hope”

Remembering that time I should’ve clarified what kind of spicy-ness level I could handle at an Indian restaurant. I simply said “mild” but should’ve said “Asian mild. American medium.”😅 Especially when the waiter paused. Turns out being with my white-passing friend made him go with “American mild.”

On this date in 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the imperial forces of Japan. The loss of life and destruction was horrific, and it pulled the U.S. into the war.
For Japanese Americans, it was a terrifying time. Overnight, we became the “enemy within” because we were of Japanese descent. /1

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

Outside SCOTUS where a Freedom To Be Ourselves rally in support of trans rights is underway.
DC evidently granted permits to both this & a transphobic counter right beside it, which is calling for people to worship Jesus & conversion therapy. They’re countered by chants of “Protect trans kids.”

WTF. This is appalling. Glad that anesthesiologists are speaking out.
Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries.
It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration.

An excellent write-up of what has happened in South Korea
I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.
Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy
