ICYMI: In August, Taiwanese American reporter Stephanie Lin @stephanielintv shared a video interview with #TaiwaneseCanadian Hollywood actor @chasetangofficial about his experiences with extreme depression and anxiety. Lin continues her research on mental health disparities in this Medium op-ed, combining anecdotes from Tang with newly published data on how communities of color have been disproportionally impacted. ⁠

"We are witnessing now," she writes, "a mental health pandemic as well. Further loss of life is preventable." ⁠

Fascinated by this writeup from a few weeks ago on

Fascinated by this writeup from a few weeks ago on @digitalminister Audrey Tang’s segment from #wired25 — in Taiwan, compassion and innovative competence drove a pandemic management strategy that was able to keep even nightclubs open out of social and economic concern. “[Putting] everyone on the same team,” recaps Megan Molteni, “[strengthens] the social fabric of the pandemic response rather than fraying it further.” Read this @wired piece, linked here and in bio: https://www.wired.com/story/wired25-day3-audrey-tang-taiwan/

Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans living in the US

Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans living in the US: tomorrow, September 30, is the LAST day to complete or amend the 2020 United States Census. The census counts ALL residents, regardless of citizenship status (which they won’t ask!). That includes international students!
We encourage all who identify as Taiwanese to state this when declaring race/ethnicity by checking “Other Asian” and writing in “Taiwanese.” The census only occurs every ten years but is VITAL to community representation, resource allocation, and data integrity. This is who we are. Final stretch, friends: make it count! Complete or amend the census, linked here and in bio: my2020census.gov

*CORRECTED DATE* We know it's only Monday, but we've got something exciting for your weekend plans. Join Asian Pop-Up Cinema and the Taiwanese American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Chicago for a FREE streaming of indigenous Taiwanese film "Pakeriran" (巴克力藍的夏天) this Saturday, October 3. Synopsis: Old people in the tribe have said: "If you can swim to Pakeriran, you are a man of the tribe. If you can swim around Pakeriran a circle, you are a warrior of the tribe..."
Futing, who returns to the tribe on vacation, is suddenly told to replace his grandfather to participate in Sacepo' (sea festival). However, as it’s already difficult for Futing to speak his own mother tongue, how could he catch fish in the sea? Just when he is about to escape, he meets Lisin, a lovely girl who stays in the tribe to work in exchange for board and lodging. Her eyes are full of admiration immediately when she hears that Futing is going to participate in the sea festival. In order to win the hearts of Lisin, Futing tries his best to learn how to fish in the sea… Join the guest list here (and linked in bio): https://www.tickettailor.com/events/asianpopupcinema/416127#

#TaiwaneseAmerican Peter Tsai has been in the news

#TaiwaneseAmerican Peter Tsai has been in the news a lot lately as “the man behind the mask.” ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
“The retired inventor of N95 masks is back at work to fight Covid-19,” reads a Washington Post headline; “scientist-inventor a humble national hero,” another news agency chirps. But the depth and vibrance of Tsai’s living legacy is best known by his two daughters, who have not only borne witness to the N95 mask’s far-reaching impact during a global pandemic, but to its long development process as well, conducted in tandem with Tsai’s extraordinary devotion to his family. We’re honored to share this special perspective on an international hero, “the dad behind the mask.” ⁠⠀
