I really like this election’s postcard design and wouldn’t mind having it in poster form! Anyway I signed up to help nudge Viet turnout towards Ossoff /Lance Bottoms in GA partly to balance out my family there
An illustration of people, presumably Vietnamese dragon boat rowers of various complexions ranging from light to medium tan, rowing on open water. The caption says “let’s win this race together/cùng nhau quyết tâm chiến thắng “

Fomalhaut is the 18th brightest star in the night sky, located approximately 25 light-years from Earth in the constellation Piscis Austrinus. It shines in solitary splendor with a bluish light in the autumn sky. It's also an eye wreathed in flame, never blinking. That's the duality of astronomy.🔭
NASA Hubble Space Telescope's most detailed visible-light image ever taken of a narrow, dusty ring around the nearby star Fomalhaut offers the strongest evidence yet that an unruly and unseen planet may be gravitationally tugging on the ring.
NASA Hubble Space Telescope’s most detailed visible-light image ever taken of a narrow, dusty ring around the nearby star Fomalhaut offers the strongest evidence yet that an unruly and unseen planet may be gravitationally tugging on the ring.
Hubble unequivocally shows that the center of the ring is a whopping 1.4 billion miles away from the star. The most plausible explanation is that an unseen planet moving in an elliptical orbit is reshaping the ring with its gravitational pull.
The observations offer insights into our solar system’s formative years, when the planets played a game of demolition derby with the debris left over from the formation of our planets, gravitationally scattering many objects across space. Some icy material may have collided with the inner solar system planets, irrigating them with water formed in the colder outer solar system.Image Credit: NASA, ESA, P. Kalas and J.

The reality is a lot of Asian American and non-Asian American progressives and leftists don't pay attention to progressive or leftist organizing in Asian American communities.

Derek Bell described this dynamic the best in the Rules of Racial Standing, and I think it is absolutely why you see the prominence of the Kash Patels, Elaine Chaos, and Hung Caos in our communities. Also it goes along way in fostering mistrust between communities of color

FWIW as someone seeing this in my own comm (hi Viet folks!!) I think it does not help that we have a larger, majority White media ecosystem that continues to highlight and uplift the more racist and conservative members in our communities exactly bc it reinforces the white supremacist status quo

How I know that my mind is less nimble w technology as I’ve aged: it took me forever (a few minutes more than I’d like) to find how to get a text only version of directions to where I’m going this weekend. The destination doesn’t have v good cell service so I’m preparing by printing directions out

I keep thinking about this and Nikole Hannah-Jones' pieces and how all the pain and devil's bargains with modern K-12 schooling is all in service of sending kids to places like this. At every "elite" high school, this is the goal. For fucking what?
