first lunar new year I've spent w/o family means trying to recreate my popo's recipes with no timings, 16 ingredients I know by sight OR by name but not both, and seasonings measured only in bowls ("3/4 bowl of hoisin") SOS

right now, it's important to enjoy the little things about NYC: sunlight, the flowering trees, sitting on your fire escape, your landlord threatening to call the cops because you're sitting on the fire escape, researching city fire codes to yell back, etc.

"It’s unnerving, this realization that if I don’t push too hard, I could easily forget the last eight years of my life in New York and peer into the mirror hanging on the back of my door to find the same teenager, plagued with whiteheads and unrequited longing, late for class."

if you've ever felt the need to lock yourself in your apartment / lie down / sink into the earth and decompose, may I suggest @ysabellecheung 's gorgeous story 'Mycomorphosis', now up at @The_Rumpus :

Rumpus Original Fiction: Mycomorphosis - The Rumpus

“Everything looks good,” the neurologist said. The hairs on his head, she couldn’t help noticing, resembled plump white beansprouts—they stood from his scalp as if fat with water. His fingers too....

I am crying that my fiction story is out in the world, and with @The_Rumpus (dream pub!). Not only because it’s the first one I wrote after I quit my job, but because it is a direct reaction to the anti-Asian hate crimes that have been so, so painful to bear the past few years.
