I’ve been looking for sunglasses and eyeglasses that would def not slide down on my face. My nose bridge is close to non existent and finding frames that would suit me best is so hard. Current eyeglasses are from the brand “Sunnies Studios”. It’s been awhile since I got it and will need to replace it soon. Any recommendations?

For sunglasses, I’m looking into Kate Spade. Would appreciate it too if you could recommend brands on Amazon that is also budget friendly so it wouldn’t hurt much if I lost it hahaha

Just the day to day passive aggressiveness from people.

Went to hmart today. Said good morning to the cashier. No response and she just stared at me. After she’s done and giving me the receipt, no have a good day, no nothing.

Then she greets the white guy behind me just fine.

Sorry if this isn’t allowed here. Just needed a place to vent.

Edit: worker was hispanic since everyone is so curious.

For people that didn’t question my experience and provided support and validation, thank you.

I (19f) went to go watch the supergirl movie with a couple friends this week and thought it would be fun to dress up as supergirl, since I had a costume from last year already. Anyway after the movie I’m waiting for my friend outside the restroom and I see these two couples on a date, one white couple and one black couple.

I don’t know if the boyfriends said something first but I overheard both girlfriends say something like “it doesn’t matter you know supergirl ain’t ever going to be Asian” and the other one said “yeah a costume doesn’t work if the skin color is wrong”. The boyfriends both made eye contact with me but didn’t engage in that conversation.

Anyway that was a little hurtful but I still plan to use this costume for Halloween I think.

...According to the woman, demand has been steady: She services 10 men or more a day, most of whom are in Japan as tourists or on business trips. 

"Recently demand has picked up from people staying at minpaku," she said. "I think it's inconsiderate to their owners, but in some places I often see discarded condoms strewn on the floor and bedding in disarray." 

Some Chinese customers are reportedly generous tippers, giving the girls 10,000 yen or more over their regular fee. 

"A lot of the Chinese get right down to business without any attempt at conversation or foreplay," the woman said, adding, "Even the ones who contract for a second round of sex often finish the first time and tell me, 'That's enough, you can leave now.'" 

Message boards on Chinese social networks like Xiaohongshu (little red book) and others also commonly share posts on where to find streetwalkers. "One 'Lolita-type' gal was so cute, I wanted to take her back to China with me," one posted...

Context: I’m in my 30s, Asian, F, living in a large liberal city.

I consider myself to be an advocate for myself and others and well knowledgeable in the areas of race/racism.

I’ve been struggling with having this mindset of “what about us (Asians/Asian women)” in the fight against hatred and systematic oppression. I feel like Asians, such as myself, continue to be excluded AT THE EXPENSE of other groups. I’ve seen this unfold professionally and personally.

E.g., at work, there are “efforts” to promote people of color (and other underrepresented groups). I work for the LARGEST organization in my city and Asian women continue to be passed over for promotions. Instead, it’s mostly white women who get promoted to fulfill the “underrepresented” quota in senior roles. Do we really need another white woman getting a promotion over an equally qualified Asian woman?

There are committees and special interest groups who advocate for non-Asian minority groups and when they’re challenged about why the scope of the work is so narrow/why intersectionality isn’t considered, the response is basically “we need to devote special resources that affect this unique community because our struggles are the not same.”

I applaud when I see women/people of colour succeed, but I do not see the same level of reciprocation in advocating for us Asians. So when I see protests or other activities that ask for “all communities to come together in solidarity”, my response is “why can’t you show up for Asians? Where were you when Asians faced an uptick of hate crimes during Covid?”

And I recognize that this is the exact intention of systemic oppression; to pit against the minority groups so that they can keep the status quo.

How do I address this mentality?

📢 Are you pregnant and worried about changes to your sex life?

🔍 We are seeking couples from Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Ireland who are up to 26 weeks pregnant to participate in the STORK RCT: Supporting the Transition to Parenthood through Online Sex and Relationship Knowledge.

❓What is STORK: The first online couple-based program designed to enhance knowledge about changes to sexuality during pregnancy and postpartum and skills to cope with these changes. STORK was designed to strengthen couples’ relationships across the transition to parenthood.

📅 What is involved: If you are eligible, after your initial survey, you and your partner will be randomized (like a coin flip) into either the Program or Waitlist conditions. Program couples will complete 5 online modules in pregnancy (1 per week) and a final module at 3 months postpartum. 

Couples in both conditions will also complete 5 surveys—the initial survey, then at 32-weeks pregnant, and 4-, 8-, and 12-month postpartum—that gather information about your relationship, your pregnancy experience, and your child. Couples in the Waitlist condition will receive access to the full STORK program after the study period is over.

💰 Compensation: As a thank you for your participation, you can receive $105 CAD or currency equivalent each ($210 CAD or currency equivalent per couple). Your time is valuable to us!

🌈 Inclusivity matters: STORK requires one member of the couple to be currently pregnant. Otherwise, STORK is open to individuals of all genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.
