RT @[email protected] “They’re just words, you woke lib.” So are pronouns, but it seems like a lot of the white people who want to be allowed to say the n-word have no trouble losing their minds about a word like “they” or “them.” mstdn.ca/@mjmbca/110284…

As we enter AAPI heritage month and Canadian libraries start assembling lists, your yearly reminder that despite my ambiguous name, I'm not Asian. There are plenty of Asian Canadian kids lit writers to celebrate -- everyone add some here.

(My name, Bow, is the result of terrible Anglicization of my husband's grandfather's name, Chin Bo Chun, to Jim Bow -- but that heritage belongs to James Bow (KW-TO) not me.)

I am cisgender. There is no shame in that. This is not a slur.

Just a reminder, now that the musky one has deleted the Block feature from this declining site, I'm on the Elephant, [at] jamesbow [at] dot online. Follow me there. It's more fun, honestly.
