Just a little (link) love: Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg edition

The prose in this book review by NK Jemisin, WHEW: “What is patriarchy, after all, but a con being run on all genders, whispering to both victims and beneficiaries that any suffering they experience is for their own good?”
“Porches are built for storytelling.”
This is disgusting: Tennessee doctors make a fortune kicking disabled people off Medicare
I knew Ashley Ford’s name first on Twitter as @ismashfizzle because she does good work for the world there but here’s another facet to love: her interview with Michelle Yeoh.
“America First” – not my America. This piece was hugely resonant for me as a child of immigrants, knowing how much the generation of parent-immigrants gave up in order to give us a better life. I still feel that sense of gratitude even if my own remaining parent has turned out to be a terrible person. It’s weird but I do.
Golden Globes
I don’t watch awards shows but I will watch Sandra Oh in pretty much anything. And Samberg is hilarious. This monologue made me laugh out loud. And they cut to her mom.
Another heartwarming story is from CNN Money about an African/ Korean married couple in LA who are AirBNB superhosts and have a foundation called Soul 2 Seoul: http://money.com/money/5344511/airbnb-superhost-james-inja-yates/
