I wrote about my favorite place Sara D. Roosevelt Park for @PlacesJournal placesjournal.org/article/th… Read for thoughts on the psychosis of new motherhood, guangchangwu damas, how to buy/sell stolen goods, my new friends at M'Finda Kalunga Garden, and a cameo from my brother Kang

I wrote about the fashion designer @PeterSom's Lunar New Year dinner and his debut cookbook, for @tmagazine nytimes.com/2025/03/06/t-mag…
So thrilled that Little Seed is a @bookcritics finalist in autobiography bookcritics.org/awards/ It couldn't have happened without my brilliant editor @uberjam, my wise agent @jennystephensss, and the incredible team at @DeepVellum. Proud of us and congratulations to all.
I'm reading at Sisters tomorrow 7p for the Patchwork Literary Salon with great talents @aznfusion and e.jin. Come have a drink and hang <3
A lot of cool, sexy Cantonese restaurants opening lately that are a far cry from the "New Wok Inn" style hole-in-the-wall serving General Tso's and egg foo young. I wrote about it for @tmagazine nytimes.com/2024/12/17/t-mag…
A huge honor! Very grateful to be included ❤️xitter.cf/DeepVellum/status/1866…

“I don’t really know how to explain my interest in plants,” confesses @weitchou, author of the new memoir, Little Seed (@AStrangeObject). “[N]onfiction lives or dies by the writer’s enthusiasm…readers sense the propulsion and are drawn [by] it, or not.” at.pw.org/WeiTchou
