When your doctor suggests a holiday, and so you pick up the illustrated Beatrix Potter before breakfast, and the day begins very comfortably…

A thread on Oppressive Asian Parents(TM): When I was trying to sell my demon-slaying Indian immigrant daughter fantasy THE SERPENTS SECRET, a lot of the rejection feedback I got was along the lines of: [Turning Red spoilers down this thread, so beware] 1/

Standing in this spot as an old-fashioned clock starts chiming like church bells. So peaceful it makes even being seriously I’ll not matter for that moment.

today three cops randomly stopped me at canal st to ask me to translate for a confused asian woman they were charging for fare evasion and they kept refusing to let her go bc she didnt have an id 1/
