Lyrics:
First, I’ll say
I apologize for calling
But I saw your face
In a magazine today
Wasn’t you, too late
All my tears already falling
Tried to turn the page
But our story wasn’t stopping
And it goes
On and on and on
Like a never ending song
On and on
Like a never ending song
You and I
Sacrificed my adolescence
Just to waste my time
On the edges of your life
But we’ve grown too close
Now it can’t amount to nothing
I can hear your voice
In the music on the radio
And it goes
On and on and on
Like a never ending song
On and on
Like a never ending song
Can you make us stay forever?
Are we done?
Can you make it play
On and on and on
Like a never ending song
On and on
Like a never ending song
On and on
On and on
Like a never ending song

Vevo Live Set
I was watching this Vevo Live Set, and just in general these are really good and they kind of remind me of Tiny Desk as far as having their own style, and wanted to add up as well.

Song Lyrics
Eyes on me
What you see?
Never fakin, no no
Wanna fix
What they fear
Know I can’t be controlled
Thank you, but no thank you I can do it do it better
Tell me all your fantasies I’ll show you something hotter, yeah yeah
When I go out it’s all on me
I buy my rocks I buy my rings
And the all black whip I got the keys
It go like woo
Some say I’m intimidating
They’re intimidated, that's not on me
Show you my tricks but not for free
Baby don’t you wanna play the game
All the warning signs but you still know you wanna
Cuz it’s dark inside, but a beautiful crime
You can’t run and hide
Better watch your back
Cuz i go off like a maniac
We like,

Where them girls, where them girls, where them girls at?
Oooo you don’t know how to act
Cause I break rules yeah I'm always cracked
It be like
Where them girls, where them girls, where them girls at?
Where them girls, where them girls, where them girls at?
Look up
I look like a boss
I walk and talk like a boss
If you ever doubted I’m about it
I’m an ace it’s your loss, yeah
Always hit my mark
We up, no cooldown, no no
And the ones who tried to cross me
KD, OP to zero
Baby don’t you wanna play the game
All the warning signs but still you know you wanna
Cuz it’s dark inside, but a beautiful crime
You can’t run and hide
Woah woah
You better watch your back
Cuz i go off like a maniac

It's been a while since there was a post specific to White People Going Bad.
After reading the JACL's response to the not so honorable Gov. Jim Pillen of Nebraska, thought that there was no better time than bây giờ to do another post.
Here's the JCL's email in total.
------
During a radio interview in September, Governor Jim Pillen of Nebraska responded to an article written by Yanqi Xu of the Flatwater Free Press, regarding runoff pollution caused by farms owned by the Pillen family. In his response, Gov. Pillen noted that he had not read the article but continued on to say “All you got to do is look at the author. The author is from communist China. What more do you need to know?” JACL denounces Governor Pillen’s remark as racist, xenophobic, and contrary to the advancement of an independent and free press in this country.
The United States has seen a startling increase in anti-Asian hate and violence, specifically targeting Chinese and Chinese American communities. This rise has sadly been fueled by elected officials such as Governor Pillen as well as media personalities who have used their platforms to promote hate and intolerance in society. Legislators and governors in other states have introduced laws restricting property ownership targeting Chinese citizens in the United States hearkening back to the Alien Land Laws of the last century.
The JACL Omaha Chapter Board added: “When community members do not voice their concerns over actions of leaders that negatively impact certain groups, an appearance of complicity or disregard can be construed by the public, and history has shown that innocent people will be targeted.”
Our elected officials must be held accountable for their actions and should take accountability themselves for such. We call on Governor Pillen to apologize for his smearing of Yanqi Xu and his use of anti-Chinese rhetoric.
Got this in the emails and wanted to make sure and post on up from AAWW (a portion of it)

We are deeply privileged to constellate with so many luminous Palestinian writers who have graced the pages of The Margins over the years. It is our priority to continue uplifting and amplifying the voices and stories of Palestinians, from NYC, to Gaza, to the West Bank, and beyond. Here are some poetry selections we hope you’ll sit with as you move into your weekend.
Stay tuned for more projects in support of Palestinian writers soon, including a very special collaboration with Global Feminists for Palestine and New Third World on December 1.
A good interview with Greta Lee on Past Lives (from October), who can also be seen on the Apple+ TV show The Morning Show. Here's a quick byte:
"I did not think my Korean was good enough for this film. I think I grew
up after years and years of being criticized for my Korean being bad and
like disappointing my ancestors and not being a good enough Korean —
that is baked into my experience as an American. But with this movie and
with Nora and with Celine and her vision for the movie, it became this
incredible opportunity..."
Ho Chi Minh City keeps changing with places to visit and eat. Check out some time with What The Pho as Van takes you to some cool places to hang out, eat, and just chill.
News still needs to come out about this shooting--and that means real news, versus what the GBI, or GSTs want the public to hear--and we need those body cameras.
We definitely need to see the body cameras.
Maybe they figured after the ruling on Manuel Paez Terán--Tortuguita--they were untouchable?
How does speeding turn into killing someone?
Leonard Cure, after receiving around $800K just this year as part of the settlement, and being out 3.5 years...he went crazy and started attacking the officer?
Sure, maybe there were some triggers--but I'd put my money on Leonard just going to jail and then looking to get out...like he did before.
Tim Flores and Genie Kwon, the married chefs and owners of Kasama in Chicago, talk about opening the first Filipino restaurant in the world to be awarded a Michelin star. The husband and wife team also shares a recipe for chicken adobo.
As an elite athlete, Lee’s body is her instrument. There’s an intimacy
and awareness borne from years spent testing her limits and becoming
extremely familiar with every nook and cranny, every strength and
weakness. Now, overnight, her body felt completely foreign. She was
supposed to be getting ready for the postseason. She was supposed to be
celebrating her final collegiate season. She was about to turn 20.
Instead, she wondered, What’s wrong with me? [...]
Her message is a reminder for anyone facing health challenges as well as
the broader community of girls and women in sports, especially in the
Hmong community, in which Lee has noticed girls tend to take on more
traditional roles at home. “That’s why I want to help pave a way for
other women,” she says. She doesn’t mean that everyone should do
gymnastics. Rather, she wants to encourage people to find something that
is meaningful to them and that brings them joy, and to not give up on
themselves.
So many different articles popping up about Angela Lee, her siblings, and just mental health, well being, the suicide of her sister Victoria--also a star (and rising) in ONE. There's a lot to digest and read, and you just have to hope for the best. Follow Angela: https://www.instagram.com/angelaleemma/?hl=en
Spaces in Between 2023 is
a group exhibition featuring artists Chellioh, Kelly Sux, Po Yan Leung,
and Sean Chao at GR2 Gallery running from September 30, 2023 to October
17th, 2023.
I won't go into conjecture on the latest articles or comments, and unlike the rest of the internet and pitting Asian against Black and vice versa, will only say that everyone loves them both and it's unfortunate that this has happened (unlike SYJ where we KNOW she's married to the DEVIL).
Here's to hoping they can work it out, or at least have a path forward for their sake and their daughter's sake.
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling like all this "Hasan Minhaj is a liar" news is really just people not liking the subject matter of Hasan and it seems like a lot of these people coming out are...well....a lot of White People who seems to focus on a lot of White Things and White Comedians.
Robin Williams, even though some of his voices could be a little out of date today, was the king of hyperbole and story telling. That's what comedians and satirists do. But I never heard that about Williams. His cocaine stories were never put up to a litmus test of if everything actually happened.
No--he did cocaine and told us funny stories about it (well you know....as much as being a cocaine addict can be funny).
They embellish life to make a point to make us laugh and think.
Do people really think they tell us the truth about themselves all the time? Or don't write pieces for their skits/shows which aren't the absolute facts?
What world are we living in?
Is someone going to sue because Star Trek isn't real?
Here's a podcast by Micah Huang and Hao Huang about Chinese laborers and the Transcontinental Railroad:
Iron Horse Road: a Tale from Gold Mountain recounts one of the great untold epics of American history: The story of the Chinese laborers–neither truly enslaved nor truly free–who built the most rugged stretches of the Transcontinental Railroad.
More than 150 years ago, these Gold Mountain Men tunneled through mountains, dangled over cliffs, and dragged entire trains over alpine summits where other Americans feared to tread. The prosperity of the gilded age was founded on their blood, sweat and grit, but their story has long been suppressed, minimized and forgotten.
For Iron Horse Road, the father/son team behind Blood on Gold Mountain retrace the steps of these workers from the Sacramento hills to the snows of Donner Summit. Equal parts history and travelogue, Iron Horse Road uses binaural 3D audio to transport the listener to deep canyons, echoing caverns and windswept peaks–a world where adventure is always around the corner, and the past is carved in blood and stone.
Check out the musical, in its second phase where they'll host four intimate community performances at Indigenous Roots Cultural Arts Center--info below.
Introducing IN THE CAMPS: A REFUGEE MUSICAL by Saymoukda Duangphouxay
Vongsay! The project is currently in its second phase, where we’ll host
four intimate community performances at Indigenous Roots Cultural Arts
Center.
NOTE: Only 60 seats are available per show. Late seating WILL NOT be permitted - please come on time!
The story
Using
songs and humor, IN THE CAMPS will take place in a refugee camp and
tell the story of Laotians who’ve escaped communist Laos. While in the
camps, refugees built makeshift past lives to remind them of who they
were before the disruption of war. An older woman turns a storage hut
into a beauty parlor. She offers hair washing, scalp massages, and
haircuts to remind herself that there is still beauty in the world. A
former monk erects a martial arts gym behind one of the food
distribution tents. He trains young Laotians on how to regain their
strength, confidence, and power. An ex-communist soldier tries to blend
in. He fears violent retaliation from victims and their families if he
is found out. He is also hopeful that in a camp full of Buddhists, he
will be forgiven. A young newly-wed must decide on the length that she
will go and the boundaries she will cross to reunite with her husband
who is missing.

You just have to at least like the fact that Milne is getting charged with a hate crime because that doesn't always happen.
The King County Prosecutor's Office announced Monday they rush-filed
charges of a hate crime and first-degree malicious mischief against
76-year-old Craig Milne. Prosecutors have asked for Milne to be held on
$30,000 bail. Meanwhile, the Wing Luke Museum remains open as staff and volunteers continue to heal from Thursday night's violent attack.
Executive Director Joël Barraquiel Tan says there has been an incredible outpouring of love and support from the community.
He
says staff, volunteers and leadership have constantly been checking in
on each other since the attack and are committed to educating the public
about Asian American and Pacific Islander history in Puget Sound.
"Over
100 years of anti-Chinese policies and vigilantism that isn't that long
ago, that isn't too many generations ago, and I think this recent hate
crime and vandalism is just connected to that," said Tan.
Takashi Murakami: Unfamiliar People — Swelling of Monsterized Human Ego is the first solo exhibition in San Francisco by Takashi Murakami (Japanese, b. 1962). An internationally recognized artist, Murakami is also a major figure in global pop culture whose influence extends to fashion, consumer products, curation, and entertainment. With a boldly colored, upbeat style and a pop sensibility that draws inspiration from anime and manga, Murakami’s accessible and fun creations deliver more than meets the eye: beneath the surface of his work lies a nuanced examination of human behavior, informed by historical and art-historical references and a wry sense of humor.
The larger-than-life paintings and sculptures in Murakami: Monsterized use monsters as a central motif to address the complicated nature of the world around us. The artist’s recent works suggest that our rapidly changing and increasingly digital landscape is populated by monsters — whether harmful or helpful — many of which humans have created and perhaps even become. Blurring the line between frightening and fun, these monsters embody the forces and behaviors that threaten and haunt us, as well as those that offer us diversion and escape from chaos. Several new works created for this exhibition find Murakami responding to a social environment marked by a global pandemic and a shift toward virtual interaction. Paintings of distorted figures reflect the swelling egos of individuals promoting themselves relentlessly on social media, while works recording the artist’s creation of NFTs, including avatars, look with optimism toward a digitally liberated future.
Senior Curator of Japanese Art Laura W. Allen locates Murakami’s imagery in a lineage of Japanese supernatural creatures including the kaiju (giant monsters) of postwar manga, television, and film — such as Godzilla, who makes a memorable appearance in this exhibition — and extending back to the “menacing and adorable” yōkai (supernatural entities) of Edo-period scrolls. “The visual DNA of Murakami’s characters has origins in centuries-old styles in Japanese art,” says Allen, “such as depicting Buddhist arhats and Daoist immortals as wizened beings with strange features, bulging eyes, and bared teeth.” To these venerated historical sources, Murakami adds the “technicolor palette, goofy expressions, and eclectic mixture of motifs” that have become his trademark — boldly remixing tradition to reflect the complexity of the present day.
The slantyapolis/seftre blog has served millions of views trying to help in its own way, to give voice to the Asian and Asian American community, as well as document it, over the last 18 years. Sometimes op-ed, sometimes straight news, sometimes off the beaten path--the continued impetus remains that there's power in sharing voices and in sharing your own voice and reflecting that back into the communities you belong to.
