Hey y’all. Would love to see you at one (or both🤓 ) of the following events over the next few weeks:
👉🏽 There are still some spots left in this month’s writing workshop. The theme is “Anticipating Sunrises.” These workshops are designed to be generative, meaning, it’s an opportunity to dive into new work, and is a space for newer and experienced writers alike. A real sweet community is emerging out of these monthly workshops, and I’d love for you to join us. Register here (Sunday, 3/28, 10am - 12pm PST).
👉🏽 Next Sober from Bullshit Recovery Club :: Storytelling Edition is April 7. Register here.
Slow Motion Sober condemns the recent murder of eight people, including six women of Asian descent, on Tuesday night in Atlanta.
I am tired of and disgusted by a media that perpetuates a humanizing narrative of a mass shooter over the stories of the victims!
I stand in solidarity with my AAPI readership, the AAPI communities of San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, and beyond.
In this, my most humble corner of the internet, I am speaking up because the ultimate aim of what I do in the realm of sobriety and recovery is liberation for us all. To that end, the work of recovery is incomplete as long as we continue to operate under white supremacist delusions and systems of oppression. We cannot ignore the fact that racism, sexism, misogyny (and so much more!) are all lived experiences that are known contributors to addiction.
On a personal and more granular level, I stand in solidarity with my beloved friends, neighbors, collaborators, and coworkers. I am angry and distressed and I walk beside you always. I will never be a bystander. You are important, incomparable threads that weave together a rich tapestry that is my life and THIS WORLD.
Red Canary Song: “A grassroots collective of Asian and migrant sex workers, organizing transnationally.”
Stop AAPI Hate: “In response to the alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.”
I love you all.
