I look forward to the disappointment and sadness my mom will feel the day I officially move out from home (after HK next year) and leave her overbearing attitude.

There is probably something very, very wrong with me.

mytongueisforked: notyourkinddear: You can be a POC who upholds whiteness. You can be a POC who supports whiteness. You can be a POC who calls yourself a POC but still defends whiteness. And you’d still be wrong. Yes, yes, and yes. Argh. When I have arguments with POC who uphold whiteness, it’s the most… “I sometimes forget that not every POC will be my ally.” ...

Ummmm assembling my application for EAP Hong Kong and freaking the hell out. Who am I to think I can just leave the United States for a year? My family, my organizing, my Chinatown, my friends, my partner?
