Hi, folks. If you haven't yet, please check out queer author Li Kotomi's public statement in which she comes out as trans after being bullied, harassed, & doxxed. Read & share widely.

If you are a journalist or have contacts w/Eng-lang. media, please DM me (she agreed I can field inquiries).

I bought this cap from a HK artist based in NYC right before the US election. I think it’s about right for these times. You can see I’m hard at work with language practice. (Hi Canto speakers 😆🫰💛)

(Not unrelated to #4B )

En-yi’s Queer Study: Yale U Edition
Thurs, April 18, 4:00-5:30 pm

“Is Hong Kong dead?”

Listen to Dr. Grace En-yi Ting (HKU) share about life-changing experiences as a queer feminist scholar & teacher in Hong Kong, with @yangyangcheng.bsky.social (Yale Law School) as moderator & respondent.

My last lecture in the US.

“Politics of Encounter: From Japanese Literary Studies to the Sinophone”
4/18, 12 pm: Yale University

What does it mean to narrate a queer feminist ethical praxis of “encounter” and diaspora bridging disciplines, languages, & politics that rarely meet…?

Well…

Hi, Asian American studies. 👋 See you there. 🌈🌺

“Survival Mode Feminism”
「生存模式女性主義」
「サバイバル・モード・フェミニズム」
(中文/日本語：For full post, check IG)

While struggling w/very painful experiences recently, I was speaking with a friend & said that I think many feminists, esp. mainland Chinese feminists, focus on “survival mode feminism.” What do I mean by this?

Happy Lunar New Year from Taipei.

I’m sorry that I do not have the energy to follow folx properly on Twitter, Threads, & Bluesky yet. I hope I can be healthier someday soon and more capable of engaging on social media, where I have met lovely friends & acquaintances.

This is my "queer feminist manifesto" for 2024 but also a self-introduction for anyone who does not know me well. I hope this can be a shortcut to explaining the kind of person (or the kind of feminist) I am.

Wishing everyone a peaceful new year.

I got few suggestions so I went out & decided on these four places to give monthly donations. ❄️❤️‍🩹 Hope others who are financially secure enough can do the same.

I’ve been too busy on Instagram to figure out Threads & Bluesky. 😭 But please follow my new account if you want to read my trilingual posts on queer feminism, care, & healing.

最近用IG就已經夠忙了，沒有好好開始用Threads，Bluesky等。🥹 但是如過你想看我用三種語言寫關於酷兒女性主義，關懷，和療癒的投稿，請跟蹤我新開的帳戶，謝謝🙏🌈

There is a lot going on, including:

- Palestine
- Agnes Chow (reading her posts broke me)
- There have been many suicides of students in HK, including at HKU
- My stuff (vaguely put)

I am not dealing perfectly at all, but kittens are helpful. Please adopt 🐈💛

沒有理想的人不傷心。What about the kind of person who wants to love bigger, better, as her heart breaks? I wrote to a student: This is my way of saving myself. This is my response to political trauma.

Trying to maintain a calm vision of care, to remain open to potential aggressors is unbearably sad.
