Angry Girl Comics: $10 drawing commission slots open :

Hi guys,

So I just found out today that, due to company reshuffling, I’m going to be out of my current job at the end of May.

As we are moving very soon within the next two months or so, plus all other living expenses and whatnot, finances are going to be pretty tight on my end.

I hate…

Those from the outside looking in think I don’t feel anything, but it’s times like this that I know I am drowning in emotions. I wonder where they all go when I die.

It’s been 7 months since you’ve passed. I told myself I would make more of an effort to see my friends, but so far I haven’t really tried. There’s not a day that goes by that your name doesn’t pop in my head. Sometimes it just comes and goes. But other times, like yesterday, it made me sink into sorrow again.

Today, my coworker (who has been annoying me for while now) implied that the main reason he talks to me and wants to hang out with me is because he thinks I’m pretty. This sounds like a compliment at first, but it’s apparently my only redeeming quality. He constantly criticizes my personality for being boring and gets frustrated when I’m unresponsive toward him or when I don’t engage with him.

I owe him nothing. I don’t have to entertain him or shower him with attention. I’m just being myself and that’s OK. The most annoying thing about this whole situation is that I even have to give myself this pep talk.

‘But there’s a better way. You show her she is beautiful. You make mirrors of your eyes, prayers of your hands against her body. It is hard, very hard, but when she truly believes you…. Suddenly the story she tells herself in her own head changes. She transforms. She isn’t seen as beautiful. She is beautiful, seen.’

Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White by Frank Wu

Writing in the tradition of W. E. B. Du Bois, Cornel West, and others who confronted the “color line” of the twentieth century, journalist, scholar, and activist Frank H. Wu offers a unique perspective on how changing ideas of racial identity will affect race relations in the twenty-first century. Wu examines affirmative action, globalization, immigration, and other controversial contemporary issues through the lens of the Asian-American experience. Mixing personal anecdotes, legal cases, and journalistic reporting, Wu confronts damaging Asian-American stereotypes such as “the model minority” and “the perpetual foreigner.” By offering new ways of thinking about race in American society, Wu’s work dares us to make good on our great democratic experiment.

I found this in a used bookstore about 10 years ago. It was one the first academic work on Asian American issues that I’ve ever encountered. I didn’t even know something like this existed.
