I’m so grateful the therapy dogs happen to be staying at my hotel which funny enough is called the Comfort Inn. The handlers said they understand journalists have it hard too. They offered me a #cuddlepuddle. Thank you @K9ComfortDogs It really did help! #selfcare #caninelove – at Monterey Park, CA

“The Simpsons” has cast Sunil Malhotra (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Legend of Korra”) as the new voice of Apu, taking over for Hank Azaria:
• Malhotra made his debut in Sunday night’s episode, “The Revengening,” marking the first time Apu has spoken in nearly a decade
• Apu and the Nahasapeemapetilon family will once again be seen (and heard) on “The Simpsons” moving forward

Reader wrote asking for the title of Ming-Na Wen's cookbook because it "wasn't anywhere" in my story. The lede was about how she chose the title. It's in the 3rd graf. The lede photo has the cover. Why do I feel like it's OK to gripe since he's likely not gonna find this post?🤦🏾♀️
Another more joyful story I have on @AP today, I finally can cross @MingNa off my "actors I want to interview one day" list. I got to tell her I once ate at her family's Pittsburgh restaurant, which her brother runs today.

Happy to partner with @laura_turbay on this @AP story on the outrage over this Arkansas Medicaid ad. Even faced with contradictory data, some still insist a Black woman should have been in this ad, and not a white gamer named "Brad."

Some people are not aware how triggering a hanging death can be for a Black community.

"Since founding her church nine years ago, she said she has had 'hard conversations' urging Native congregants to renounce sundance, sweat lodges and burning cedar during prayer, traditions she equates to idolatry."

No, you did not use the term "animal style" for a press release referencing the Idaho In-N-Out shooting. 😬

I spent my entire life fighting uphill and for everything I achieved. This one is no different. When they run out of arguments, they resort to the lowest form of life. I always knew why they don’t like me. Yup, I’m always right.
Next May we shall see if there are lots of events around CA for Bruce Lee Day. Regardless, this day marked for the martial arts icon is a historic first. #brucelee

My story on the new OUT Museum in San Francisco focused on Chinese and queer artists, which is already having an impact. #happypride #pridemonth 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌁

Just occurred to me, Sheldon, his mother and his Mee-Maw were all at the #TonyAwards. #thebigbangtheory
One last story for #aapiheritagemonth. Reflection on Filipinos' role in workers rights in wake of César Chavez revelations promotes Filipino lawyers in Hawaii to raise legacy of Pablo Manlapit, forgotten leader of Hawaii labor movement.

Noticed #colbert final episode made no mention of Trump beyond allusions when orange skin tone came up. All the focus was on the machine that's been @colbertlateshow
I didn't post about this right away cuz still processing that people who I collaborated with from several states away are just <poof!> gone. Been going about with mixed emotions of sadness, ire, etc. I'm going to be thinking about them and the loss of talent for a long time.

I was the reporter let go in Oklahoma. It was only surprising because the Thunder are in the playoffs and the Women's CWS is coming up. I have great memories of my time here and of my colleagues. Thank you all for following me. As for media, if you're looking for help, hit me up.
Thanks to @uclaaasc for talking to me exclusively ahead of launch of this cool online AAPI history textbook. Full circle for me, a @UCLA grad who took Asian Am Studies class. #aapiheritagemonth

It ends with them settling. Darn. I was kind of looking forward to hearing testimony in this #blakelivey v #justinbaldoni case.
