@sakeriver I feel like this is a statement about storytelling. If the video had been 20-30 seconds, it wouldn’t have gotten the same reaction. But the fact that it goes on for so long makes you *invested* in the outcome, like Go, Lemon, go!! Like the raccoon that climbed the building...

At the start of the pandemic my son & I started folding an #origami #crane for every day of lockdown. We posted updates at 100, 200, 300, 365 & 400 days. We decided we would end it when whole family was fully vaxxed & all restrictions lifted. Today we folded our last one, #465 .

The sad thing is, I don’t think I ever had a bad experience at a bookstore *until* I became an author. I LOVE indie bookstores, spend a lot of money in them & want them to stay in business! Most bookstores I’ve approached have been lovely, but for some the support is only one-way

I woke up realizing that everything I write about my parents is in the past tense. There’s no more memories to be made with them. Not many people I know my age have lost both parents (2014, 2016) & my only sibling (2010). I don’t think I’ve ever said out loud how lonely it is.

@LidiaYuknavitch I am thinking, our astonishment at the grieving orca reflects a terrible blind spot in our culture. No one who has lost a loved one stops mourning in one news cycle. We carry the grief for longer than anyone ever knows and but it is invisible, which only multiplies our pain.

OVER THE MOON TO SHARE MY FIRST BYLINE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES!!! 🤩 I wrote about me & my son making an origami crane for every day of the pandemic—a way to pass time, make something beautiful out of the pain of isolation & visualize the impact of COVID.

Marking a Pandemic, One Crane at a Time (Published 2021)

My son and I took on what seemed like a simple project: fold one origami crane every day during the pandemic. Together, we discovered over the year how making art helps people bear the unbearable.

Full disclosure: My husband is not white, but we are different races & we have a biracial son. We talk about racism a fair amount (esp. after the last 4 years) but it’s different. It’s really clear to both of us that white supremacy (not whiteness) is the enemy.

Horrible. Some people would rather go to jail than get a lifesaving vaccine. And this is another reason there’s a shortage of frontline workers. Why would anyone want to make minimum wage at a job where you’d face harassment or worse?

3 people arrested for allegedly assaulting an NYC restaurant hostess after she asked a group of diners visiting from Texas to show proof they had been vaccinated before seating them.

Today marks one year in isolation for my family. We made one origami crane for each day we stayed home, and we’ll continue until we’re all vaccinated. #panniversary #pandemiversary #origami #CatsOfTwitter

I got the BEST unexpected Christmas present!!! I randomly came across my Publisher’s Marketplace announcement which I somehow missed back in April when I was traveling. This is the writer’s version of seeing my name in lights. Look, THAT’S MEEEEEE 🤩😄😭 Pub date: March 5, 2024

Yeah congrats everyone on getting the vaccine/your literary acceptance/making a perfect gingerbread house/etc. but did any of you leave the house today wearing four different kinds of leopard print?

Thank you for this history. The decision to revoke Taiwan’s UN membership in 1971 was a huge crisis and setback. Here’s a pic of me protesting this decision with my mom in NY in the mid-1970s

50 years ago today, the Republic of China was replaced by the People's Republic of China at the UN. Since then, Resolution 2758 – which only refers to the "Chiang Kai-shek" regime - has kept Taiwan out @MargaretKLewis @jamestwotree @julianku

Said this to my essay class the other night & realized it applies in a work context too. You don’t have to accept all feedback. Prioritize feedback from people who CARE about you. When people who don’t care about you give you feedback, it’s often more about them than you.

Can I be real for a minute… I’ve spent 8 years making friends & building a platform here & I’ve appreciated this community SO much. But now that I have a book to promote, I feel like everyone’s disappeared & my posts are invisible. Is it the algorithm or are y’all tired of me 😭

Writing is hard, but *writing about your own writing* for applications, proposals, marketing, etc. is extra levels of excruciatingly hard 😩
