It took me 5 years to finish my BA, and 8 for my PhD. With work demands, health issues, and in my subject area, I know I’m not alone. And I wasn’t even studying in a second language! DHS is crippling the US in the most inhumane ways possible. We’ve got to stand up for our international students!!

The City of San Jose is creating plans that would allow food delivery bots to drive up to 20mph in bike lanes. As a human who uses a pedal-powered bicycle in San Jose’s bike lanes every day, I am VERY not okay with this. #bikesky #cycling #safety #protectpublicstreets

When I visited DC recently, I learned about an invasive species of insect that’s destroying vegetation across Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, & beyond: the #SpottedLanternfly. While pesticides may not be advised in cities, it is highly recommended to SQUASH them upon sight. #FreeDC
天下為公 Tian Xia Wei Gong Tin Haa Wai Gung “All the world belongs to the people” These words, on the gate to San Francisco’s Chinatown at Bush and Grant, gave me a little hope today. Isn’t it the duty of everyone who walks underneath to make them a reality? #photo #streetphoto #linguisticlandscape
Tonight, again, the United States is punishing thousands of children in Iran, and their families, and their communities, FOR WHAT?!?

Sending my thoughts to everyone affected by the fires in Canada ❤️🤍❤️ I was in Toronto just a week ago, and loved this sculpture of Rabbitwoman & Dogman, “two opposites coming together as best friends and soulmates,” helping to save the white rhino on their tandem bicycle. May we embody their spirit.
Rewatched the Cabo Verde-Argentina match last night. It was almost as thrilling as the first time—a beautiful, even magical display that will be hard to ever forget. Thank you again Vizinha, Lopes Cabral, and the whole team for inspiring the world with the art of the possible! 🇨🇻 #worldcup #beauty

“Even in a city shaped so deeply by immigrants, debates over immigration enforcement show that suspicion of newcomers has not disappeared.”
