It was. He’s a great guy who is always smiling and helping people who had to go through so much. He showed us the tiny Buddha that his father carved him, the only thing he was able to save from his family.

One of the pharmacists at our hospital is a survivor of the Khmer Rouge. He lost most of his family in the genocide. For the Cambodian New Year he spoke to the hospital about his experience in Cambodia and escaping to the US to work in medicine.
I had the opportunity to read an early copy of the novel and it's wonderful.

Well if nothing else I now know how to make chloroform with common household items so that’s useful.
You can do it!!!
Ace the interview I mean, not fuck it up.
If you’re a member of a marginalized group (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Neurodiverse, etc.) you’re going to have trauma just from dealing with everyday discrimination and living in a society that treats you as “other.”

It came out last year but is set in the ‘80s.
Ugh. I hate Steve Ballmer. He made a “boys will be boys” comment at my dad’s college reunion and my mom yelled at him until he left.

On this day, at this hour, white supremacists detonated a bomb at the home of Civil Rights attorney Z. Alexander Looby. The blast from the bomb was so great that it shattered windows of buildings across the street at nearby Meharry Medical College. Miraculously, Looby and his wife Grafta 1/3
