hey y'all! I'm Soleil Ho, a writer who goes deep into food, pop culture, identity politics and mass media. I've written about: an edible wasp festival in Japan; the hollowing-out of the COVID welfare state; and how Stop Asian Hate got warped into pro-carceral politics. I also write cookbooks!

Getting to read @pochoboymeetsworld.bsky.social’s rap criticism for COYOTE is always such a joy, man. I just know I’m in for hit after hit.
“[The album] is as much a spiritual hymn as it is a hyphy resistance… especially when Bank$ veers into anger. ‘Oakland Unified’ facetiously points to the loss of Black residents who’ve been pushed to the geographical and cultural fringes (‘Oakland n***** don’t die, they move to Sacramento County’).”
Oakland Rapper Philip Bank$ Is All Gas, No Fakes
The late-blooming lyricist opens up about his debut solo album, ‘East Bay Times.’

"The Stanford Daily and coplaintiffs contended that the Trump administration’s use of two statutes to attack free speech and student protesters—particularly pro-Palestinian activists—has chilled the paper’s ability to not only gather news and print opinion but also to keep an archive of past work."
Stanford Students Sue Over Trump’s Crackdown on Political Speech

If you’re going to eat dry turkey with your relatives and acquaintances, you might as well regale them with trivia about the Epstein files. How many times is Harvard mentioned? How much did it cost taxpayers to get the emails redacted? How much DOES Larry Summers hate women?

The Bay Area’s protest legacy runs deep, but there are new risks: militarized police, more surveillance, higher stakes. In this First Aid Kit guide, @cecilialei.bsky.social breaks down how to stay safe, what to say (or not) if you're detained, and how to protect your rights if you’re risking arrest.

Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

carry naloxone. look for your local needle exchanges if you live in a city or large town, chances are they have doses for free to give out as well as other harm reduction supplies and tools
Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.
