Our awesome neighbors (also South Asian) sent us some delicious food. In true South Asian fashion, we will now keep exchanging food until the world stops spinning because one must never, ever return an empty dish.

Look what finally got to me! I am so, so proud of my brilliant friend @Catherineoscopy . This acknowledgment is her (and her writing) in a nutshell: Hilarious, authentic, and beautiful. Buy her book!!

It’s Diwali! If you don’t celebrate, eat some delicious food and pass some love along just because.

For the 10,000th time, I have to talk about how amazing public libraries are. They give you everything! Books, community, and now—free at-home COVID tests. My immigrant heart will never get over them.

Cannot wait to share this paper (accepted today at Ethnic and Racial Studies!) on the lived experience of structural racism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Writing this one with @Catherineoscopy was truly the most fulfilling and seamless collaborative experience.

Amazing. This is our ( @Catherineoscopy ) paper in @SociusJournal on gender and COVID-19 in a nutshell. Women anxiously managing everyone’s risk while men roll their eyes and grudgingly do what they’re told.

The peer review system may not be perfect, but have you all heard about the law review publishing process? Because that situation is so wild that it makes me grateful for peer review.

1 month into the quarantine, and my biggest achievement is my kids picking up my accent.
