🧵 Happy #AAPIHeritageMonth!

People usually trace Asian American movements to 1968.

But I found an old newspaper article about an "Oriental Students Association" at the University of California in 1907, with members from India, China, Siam, and Japan.

Do you see what I see? Here's the story 👇🏽

Who would want to be an English teacher?

My number one #Mastodon tip for people is to boost more!

Discovery sucks on Mastodon, which is partially by design, but it also means it’s hard to find new and interesting people here. If you see something cool, reach for that boost button as well!

Want to find certain communities, people, or topics here? Guess at and search hashtags. The website autocompletes to help. Follow anyone that’s close to what you want. Watch who they boost, follow them, and follow hashtags they use. If you see a topical server, check out the local feed to follow people. If it’s not a community you’re part of generally, initially listen more than engaging. Rinse, wash, repeat. In <checks date> about four months you’ll have a pretty rich feed. #feditips

In my post-PyCon traveling through southern Utah, I had to stop and enjoy some #Python.

I figure folks could do with this in their timeline...
