So sad to hear this. Thank you for your brilliant and compassionate stories on the AAPI community - a treasure trove. I watched your show from Australia where there is close to zero AAPI media representation. Will always love your James Hong interview and so many others.

The Australian Public Service is not as culturally diverse as Australia, esp at senior levels Given the kids of NESB migrants are more likely to outperform non-immigrants educationally, it means our APS is likely missing out on talented staff We need MORE of a focus on diversity, not less #auspol

It was Barbara Kingsolver who once said that "want" is as boundless as the sky above, but "need" can often fit in a bucket. Sit yourself down and really ask yourself: what is a want for you, and what is a need? No one "needs" to win a Booker or a Nobel. I "need" to pay rent though! That's all it is.

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

In The Glory - he plays a spoilt chaebol heir with few redeeming qualities except his love for his new found child. It’s a 2nd tier character, cartoon like villainy. Same for Queen of Hearts, his 2d character serves the plot. These simplistic roles drive the plot but are they believable?

In South Korea they sent a former president to jail because ‘No one is above the law’. Can’t say the same principle applies in so-called advanced democracies lead by white patriarchies.
