This research is really sweet -- showing the size and complexity of ancient #African#huntergatherer networks, before farming.

One of the reasons for the invisibility of #AntiAsianRacism is inextricably connected to #ModelMinorityMyth. The myth focuses on #stereotypes of #Asians as hard-working, independent, intelligent & economically prosperous.
Stereotypes hide many issues & disappears the realities of working-class #AsianWomen’s lives.
This morning I'm discovering the music of Veronica Adane. Not sure where Veronica is from, but the cover lettering is Ethiopic, which implies singing in Amharic and being from Ethiopia or Eritrea. ¡Nice!
