here's my post from yesterday-

IBARW: people living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. :: Back in April, for Asian American Awareness Month, I had a post planned out about body image and the toll that multiple standards and conflicting expectations exact from Asian-American women. Today is still not the day for me to go into that discussion in detail, but a lot of it relates to the rant I've been (mostly) suppressing about the western media slant on the Beijing Olympics.

You are a tricky one! I was looking at the bottom of the comments for new ones. :)

I tried tagging a post on delicious last night, but it must not have gone through:

I also had what was more or less the same announcement post as everyone else:

Hmm, that post didn't show up in our inbox. Not sure why. Thanks for linking it here!

Thanks for the confirmation. I had an issue with using Delicious before, but I didn't know if it was my fault or if something else was to blame. Now that I know it's me, I'll look into it.

jonquil http://jonquil.dreamwidth.org/850159.html -- "It's not the same!"

Here's a conversation that happens a lot:

POC: I am dealing with constant racism, and it really wears me down.
Nice person: Oh! I really sympathize. Once I [walked into an all-black restaurant | got shouted at on the street | got discriminated against for being redheaded] and I get what it feels like.

I've said this myself. I was trying to express sympathy: I can imagine how horrible your situation must be, because I've experienced a little of it myself. That's not how it's heard.

[and I'm sorry, I don't know how to use Delicious.]

I am here for you! No need to use Delicious yourself. :)
