  1. 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘: "𝑺𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑲𝒍𝒂𝒏" 𝒃𝒚 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝑳𝒖𝒆𝒏 𝒀𝒂𝒏𝒈 -

    Yang's update on the classic Superman radio play in a new medium is worthy and worthwhile, a solid take on identity and community with new insights into the Man of Steel.

  2. #Movies #Films #AAPI

    I just watched the #AARP's annual #MoviesForGrownUps (#MFGU) award show for 2025 on #PBS last night. You can find a list of the winners here:

    aarp.org/entertainment/movies-

    I always enjoy watching this show because it features the most "grown up" & intelligent movies made during the year. I also like it because the program is more tightly scripted & better organized than other award shows like the #Oscars & #GoldenGlobes.

    MFGU winners often differ than those given for the Oscars & Golden Globes & this year I was pleased that they gave the #BestSupportingMovieActress award to #SF's #JoanChen for her performance in #Didi (the independent film about a #ChineseAmerican boy in Fremont in the 80's) produced & directed by #SeanWang who's work was recognized at #Sundance.

    Saw Didi at the Elmwood in Berkeley, just received the #DVD. Don't know if it's available to be streamed yet but, if it sounds like something you'd like to see, stream it if you can.

  3. "Although I lack most of the outward tells of Southernness, which is to say I speak unaccented English and have a face that is neither white nor black but yellow, that field places me in the South."

  4. Second Amendment by Yue Chen.

    A striking interpretation of the USA #SecondAmendment by award-winning #ChineseAmerican designer and #ArtDirector at City University of New York, Yue Chen.

    Amendment II: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

  5. UNFORGETTABLE STAR ANNA MAY WONG, a pioneering Chinese-American actor whose career spanned screen, stage, radio, and television, is the topic of this fascinating, deeply researched biography. Old Hollywood glam through a very modern lens! B PLUS

  6. I recently saw Disney's #AmericanBornChinese & Netflix's #TheBrothersSun. Let me just say --

    OMG. The #ChineseAmerican representation is AMAZING!! Seeing familiar cross-cultural parent-child dynamics, characters speaking #Mandarin & eating tomatoes stir-fried with scrambled eggs, all in mainstream pop culture entertainment?!

    Teenage me never even imagined how validating & comforting seeing pieces of myself on TV could be. So glad kids today are growing up with it.

  7. I'm reading @intelwire's post about anti-Chinese American dystopian fiction:

    "Almond-Eyed* *came and went* *with little fanfare, but it was the vanguard of what would be a wildly popular genre…at least 23 works of fiction…between 1878 and 1918…The language and themes of these early works would reverberate through the genre for well over 100 years, haunting us today"

  13. This legit made me tear up:

    "'It’s so nice to meet another Connie,' she told me toward the end of our call. But didn’t you know? I responded. There are so many of us out here. Named after you. 'You’re kidding,' she said. 'No way.'"

  14. Dammit. Texas Gov. Abbot is now *also* on board with banning Chinese immigrants from buying homes:

    “…eyes have turned to Texas Senate Bill 147, which would strip citizens of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea of the right to buy land or property, including homes. Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has already said he will sign it if it passes.”

  15. A pleasant surprise to spot my picture book #SoNotGhoul, about a little #ChineseAmerican ghost who deals with #culturalAppropriation in the fiercest way, at a local #bookstore. If you’re in #Pasadena, CA, you can pick up a copy at Vroman’s!
