Hi friends. This week was the anniversary of the Atlanta shootings. I want to re-share the Resource Round-up Against Anti-Asian Violence that I wrote at the time. Also this week, a man attacked a 67-year-old Asian woman and hit her over 125 times. My mother is an Asian American woman in her 60s. I am terrified every day of something happening to her or my aunt. I’ve been doing a lot of check-ins with friends this week as well and thank you to those who have reached out to check in on me.

Some housekeeping! Last week I mentioned opening up the snail mail form to paid subscribers only; however, I need to be honest with myself: I have way too much stationery and I need to ramp up my mail output. So, snail mail for subscribers at any level (paid or free)! Can’t promise when, can’t promise what, but I promise you’ll get something. You can give me your info here. Folks outside of the U.S. are totally welcome!
