Mana fefine = “powerful woman” in Tongan.

I talk a lot about #labor and indigenous #Pasifika (Pacific Islander) issues in relation to capitalism and tech.

I’m also campy and a bit dramatic.

Located in the Bay Area, California / Ohlone Land.

I hate that the NFL is doing the most for Pacific Islander representation this month 😭 https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1788962203896254855

I know we’re over represented in this sport but c’mon!! We’re more than this

Understand that we’re not all athletes or dancers. Some of us are nerdy, awkward and chronically online.

I’m living proof!!

But really, I’d love to see more representation that isn’t centered around our bodies.

That’s why I’ve always been vocal about my identity in tech. Many people either don’t know we even exist or have racist notions that we’re somehow not “smart” enough for this field.

The sad thing is a lot of PI kids end up believing this too.

To give you an idea of the Asian American anger at David Chang for being an asshole who wanted to enforce trademarks on ‘chilli crunch’, I was at my friend’s home in LA looking at his Asian cookbooks when he said, ‘you wanna see some garbage?’ Then he pulled out the Momofuku cookbook and we both laughed and laughed

@skinnylatte Why would anyone try David Chang’s chili crisp when Lao Gan Ma is RIGHT THERE
