I don’t even know where to fucking begin. I’m still unable to fully process what happened last week; I don’t have any words of wisdom, comfort, intelligence, or advice. What are you supposed to say when your worst fears come to life? Two days after the attack in Atlanta I…
In case you hadn’t heard, the first Asian American superhero movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe came out this weekend. Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is kinda a big deal, given the mega-franchise of it all. And as someone who loves both the MCU and Asian…
