WELL, THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY: Lee Sung Jin's Netflix drama 'Beef' has whipped up a social media storm by taking on a lot of big issues. But why has the darkly comic show starring Steven Yuen and Ali Wong been seen as a modern day Asian American parable?.. loveitinpomona.blogspot.com/20

If the one story I just read by Ada Zhang is anything to go by, her collection of short stories (out next month, preorder links here: adajzhang.com/ ) is going to be a 10/10.

NBC News - Is the umbrella term ‘Asian American’ even accurate anymore?

The stark differences between dozens of ethnic groups that fall under the umbrella term "Asian American" make a case for disaggregating data about the community.

"Do Indian Americans, who earn a $119,000 median household income, belong in the same statistical category as Burmese Americans, who earn $44,000? Does a first-generation Bangladeshi family have anything in common with a fifth-generation Japanese one?"

If Michelle Yeoh wins for Best Actress, we'll FINALLY have more Asian actors winning Oscars for playing Asian characters than there are white actors who've won Oscars for playing Asian characters. (h/t Roger Tang)

The trophies will still be in yellowface, though.

My last read for 2022 will be Min Jin Lee’s “Free Food for Millionaires”.

I know NOTHING about this book other than this is the author of the infamous “Pachinko” and that it features immigrants.

Have you read this? What did you think?

What is your last read for the year?

Same reason our justice claims weren’t considered cognizable when the neologism was coined a couple of years ago.

Read this very complete obituary of the late Roger Daniels (History emeritus, U of Cincinnati) in the Rafu Shimpo. A life of commitment to scholarship and scholarship of commitment.

@JuliePosselt You definitely have to be more intentional here about searching relevant hashtags to curate a diverse feed.

This was my very first . It did NOT disappoint.
One girl can’t keep a girlfriend while another can’t get the confidence to try. They team up to help one another and a whole lot of shenanigans happen.
This dual POV book isn’t just a cute romance. It touches on heavy subjects like addiction, cultural shame due to white supremacy, and identity outside of one’s family.
LOVE that the authors are an IRL couple!

I came SO close to giving up 3 times while writing my new book. My approach took me WAY outside my comfort zone. These words from Julie Otsuka ("The Buddha in the Attic," "The Swimmers") make me glad I persevered.

("effortlessly!" LOL)

FLIGHT OF FANCY: It's become an instant cult classic and a surprise awards season contender. But as the annual December mop up of the year's movies reaches the halfway point, what does Pomona make of the Daniels' 'Everything, Everywhere, All At Once' with Michelle Yeoh, Je Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu & Jamie Lee Curtis?.. pomonarewind.blogspot.com/2022
