Creating Change was amazing!!! NQAPIA did a stellar job organizing all the queer AANHPI workshops all week long! They say their east coast conference will be in Philly in September-ish. Not on their website yet, so wanted to announce it here!!

Hey, APIQS! Let's kick off 2026 this weekend with a lunch and visit to JF Books (formerly Jifeng Bookstore), which is right next to Kramer's!!

We can also playtest my new Mandarin language-learning game that I'm working on, which teaches the zodiac - if there's interest.

6 attendees for board games and dancing yesterday was perfect for this intimate nook we found at Spark Social! We played Uno Dare, Twisty Tealz (Mandarin), and Lakota language game There’s an Elk in the House (in honor of the holiday). Such good times! #gaysian #quasian #dance #sapphic #dc

Yesterday’s lunch crew at Full Kee! We went to ShareTea a few doors down afterward, got some boba/tea, and then hung out in a shaded park nearby. Nice turnout for a last minute plan!
