One thing I look forward to on summer nights is seeing fireflies. ✨ (Artwork by Braeden Raymer)

Illustration of a mason jar on a patch of grass filled with glowing yellow dots (representing fireflies). Some rise to form the word “Indiana” in cursive handwriting. Below is “Light of the Midwest” in black-coloured text. At the bottom is a small circular emblem with a firefly and the text “United State of Indiana” around it.

“Our wounds, whatever they are, are made more powerful by the silence around them. The naming of what has hurt us, how we have hurt others, and how those hurts still linger is the very undoing of the cloak that keeps the pain unseen and unaddressed. And this—the naming, the unveiling, the unsettling—as painful as it is, is central to how we heal.” (an excerpt, on page 10, from the book “Holy Hurt” by Hillary L. McBride, 2025) Photo taken by yours truly, Casey Lam (MadeByCasey.com)

Language is not neutral.

Black-coloured text on an off-white background that reads a paragraph from Robin DiAngelo's book, titled "Nice Racism," says: "Language is not neutral. The terms and phrases we use do not simply describe what we observe. In large part, the terms and phrases we use shape how we perceive or make meaning of what we observe. This is why the terms used for marginalised groups are constantly being challenged and negotiated. Consider the difference between “illegal alien” and “person entering the country illegally.” Or the difference between “China virus” and “COVID-19.” Or trace the trajectory of changes over my lifetime of this set of terms: “bum,” “tramp,” “wino,” “hobo,” “vagrant,” “homeless,” “persons without housing.” There are significant differences between the images and associations at the start of that list and the end. Those differences impact our perceptions and have real consequences for how people are treated and the resources they receive. Language is political and thus a continual site of struggle over who is deemed worthy of respect and access. Terms can implicitly authorise and normalise forms of domination and control, or interrupt them. Racial terms in particular are in flux, as historic power relations are made visible to the mainstream and awareness of structural inequity is deepened."

As a Chinese living in America, one of the things I appreciate about @npr.org is this (below). This is found in their style guide.

A paragraph of black-coloured text on a white-coloured background. “Chinese names” is in bold, indicating the title of this section. Text continues: “In China, surnames generally come first, followed by given names. Examples: Mao Zedong, Hu Jintao. Mao and Hu are surnames. One caveat: Ethnic Chinese living abroad sometimes adopt Western convention, so be sure to doublecheck.”

An illustration, made by Casey, of two golden-coloured snakes next to each other in a form of “20” and “25” (to make up the new year 2025). Behind the snakes are some small floral patterns, on light red background.

An illustration made by Casey of her go-to Chinese dim-sum dish called 腸粉 (pronounced as “chee-ong fahn”), a steamed rice roll stuffed with minced BBQ pork, sprinkled with chopped spring onions, and a side of sambal (chili paste), sitting in savoury oil/sauce, on a white rectangular plate.
