happy aapi month to every asian and asian american that has had their experiences and their narrative discarded, overlooked, and/or dismissed because they don’t fit the dominant cultures/narratives (ex: east asians).

happy aapi month to all the pacific islanders who are constantly lumped in with the asian community & have their stories overshadowed despite the label supposedly encompassing all of us.

you are seen and loved and have a great rest of the month (and all the time afterwards).

Happy AAPI month! Please don’t forget the Pacific Islander part🫶🏽☹️

If you ever wondered why they call tattoos and piercings "unprofessional" and "unsophisticated"
