Can't wait! Also, this Sat. 4/13 at 4pm-ish come to Four & Twenty Blackbirds cafe (439 3rd Ave, Bklyn, NY) to buy @thesusanito's memoir and get it personally signed by her! @alsoknownasinc @LostLitBrooklyn

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: You can love an adopted person (even in your own family) and still be critical of adoption as a system, and want to envision what abolition means. In fact, it’s often because of one’s love for that person that you do.

When someone calls you too sensitive or too dramatic they’re revealing how disconnected they are from their own emotions.

The abandonment wound feels like being too much and not enough at the same time.

It’s so sad to see POC calling it segregation when you want to do something with other POC. Segregation is when someone with power chooses to separate you from power. When you choose to make power with other disempowered people, that’s not segregation. That’s community.

"The adoptees also called for the commission to push Holt Children’s Services and Korea Social Service...into providing full access to the entirety of their adoption documents and background information." Thank you Danish KADs! https://t.co/2INn262xcg

Don't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy 💜

I had a therapist who once told me, “if you don’t schedule a break, your body will take one for you. And it probably won’t be at a convenient time.”

While at #Target, inspired by #kdrama #YumiCells2 of wandering #bookstores, was shocked 2 see the #kidlit section! So much #race acknowledgement! There’s even a #TRA book! #Bittersweet-crying 4 little Lynne but happy 4 my daughters. #adopteetwitter #iamenough

At #Target buying my 5yr old a 2piece bathing suit for #summercamp b/c she’s wearing a 1piece all day b/c she’s afraid to change by herself. This isn’t to go swimming but 4 a water balloon fight. Seriously #triggered by both kids summer camps. Is this #ptsd? #hatesummer #momrant

I've been getting countless replies and DMs like this since last week. A reminder that I was born here, I'm American, and these insecure white people are terrified they're becoming the minority because they're scared we'll treat them the same way they've historically treated us.

I have so much work to do (my own writing, @LostLitBrooklyn business) but really fighting the urge to binge watch #Kdrama #YumiCells2. Only on ep4. #kdramaobsessed #jinyoung #kimgoeun #webtoon
