A coalition of professors, diversity officers & restaurant worker advocates represented by Democracy Forward filed suit today to block Trump’s unlawful anti-DEIA actions. We'll continue using the power of the courts to challenge unlawful policies & fight to uphold decades of legal precedent. (1/3)
Diversity officers and professors sue to block Trump's DEI orders.

“We found common ground in the poetry of bpNichol, Roy Kiyooka, and William Carlos Williams, and, concurrently, an even more crucial interest in the 80s/90s social housekeeping around redress, ‘writing thru race,’ and the radicalization of identity.” Fred Wah on Roy Miki:

I've got an essay-review on Theresa Hak Kyung Cha in the new issue of American Literary History, reflecting on Cha's long-delayed "breakthrough" into the mainstream and the role of biography and scholarship in that breakthrough.

My daughter says many of her middle school classmates drink coffee regularly. What’s a typical age for kids to start drinking coffee? (I’m not a coffee drinker so I have no idea.)

Am I correct in thinking that “boba” has completely defeated “bubble tea” as the preferred term for the drink in the US? There was a time when it seemed people in different parts of the US used one or the other but now I only hear boba.

Go see SHORTCOMINGS, a brilliant adaptation of Adrian Tomine’s classic graphic novel. Randall Park maintains the book’s witty, acerbic tone but makes the protagonist more sympathetic and human. The meta-commentary on Asian American culture is hilarious, and I squirmed and laughed in equal measure.
