(because this is what I do when the flail/scream is OVERWHELMING okay)

♣ Via angryasianman: Experiences of Asian-American Women survey. One of the things that caught my eye about this research study blurb is that the sponsor is Derald Wing Sue, who is one of my heroes for his academic publications about racial microaggressions! Not that that means that this study is necessarily related, but still. *geeks*

♣ Via littlebutfierce: Bao Phi, Yellowbrown Babies for the Revolution. There are many punch-in-the-gut lines, but for me what hit hardest was this:

I will never ask you to change your name
I will never ask you to change your name
your name is at home on my tongue

do you hear me

♣ deepad and amazeface compatriots ♥: Nice White Lady Authors Take a Hike: 'Vacations from Hell' made me laugh and laugh.

♣ Via vi: Taymiya Zaman: Not Talking About Pakistan - another glorious gut-punch. For some reason it made me think of Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai's line about kindness over genius.

I've got the Microaggressions book. I really love that concept. Will pass on the link to the study/survey, thanks. M.

I should really borrow that book from the library! ... sometime when I'm not thesis-ing, I suppose. Sigh.

You're welcome :)

Thanks for the links! ♥ I especially appreciated reading Not Talking About Pakistan. The incident the writer recounts about meeting a manifestation of a stereotype she's always defended against, next to her encounter with someone who dismissed a friend showing expected signifiers of another: that kind of uneasy, honest navigation of fault lines really sat with me.

You're welcome! ♥ That's what I enjoyed most about the article too.
