  1. @karenyin So interesting, the thoughts on "diabetic". Every couple months someone pings my workplace style guide to recommend against using "see" in cross-reference language because it's rude to or excluding of people with low or no vision, and we keep citing our own employees with visual impairments who say no, for god's sake, just use "see," we get what it means, don't make it more convoluted! #goodintentions

  2. @karenyin Your #ConsciousStyleGuide may be the resource I've been searching for.

    Even in recent posts, I've tried to be more deliberate in my word choice to at least limit my default and deeply ingrained ableist language, and it's been more difficult than I'd hoped.

    This is an issue that's top of mind for me as I begin to do more personal and public writing.

  3. Super impressed with Karen Yin's @karenyin #ConsciousStyleGuide. I've been scouring sensitivity/authenticity issues for over five years now; thought I knew everything, or at least most. This book is next level.

    Side note: The physical book itself is extremely high quality. Satisfying to the touch.

    So, highly recommend! Great experience all around. Will eventually share key points that I've learned.

  24. I'm a huge fan of #KidTimeStoryTime and StoryTeller's readalouds on #YouTube. Well, guess what! Today, they posted a hilarious reading of my picture book #SoNotGhoul!

    This underworldly tale about Mimi, a Chinese American ghost in bicultural limbo, has Chinese-style rituals, Mandarin puns, and—of course—ghost fashion.

    (Psst…please buy!) 👻 ❤️
