I don’t normally disrespect @ligneroset in quite this fashion but it’s @voguekorea!!! Thank you @soeun.nikki.lee for the thought-provoking discussion and shining a light on our experiences as Korean-American storytellers in this absurd country. So happy to be included with my iconic siblings @jennyhan @lee_minjin @franceschawrites ☺️💕🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷 (not solely to lurk their beautiful homes 👀). So much love. So much joy.

I had such a magical, wonderful evening last night for the paperback launch of Yolk. Thank you to everyone who came and everyone who came but couldn’t get in!!! 🥺💗🙏 It made me so happy to see you all after a whole year of not being able to tour this book. I wish I took more pictures because uuuuuugh everyone looked so incredible and the eye liner and brows and nails and fits were fire!!! Someone (lol Phil) said my readers skew “Asian Diane Keaton” aesthetically speaking and OMG so true and so 😭😭😭😍😍😍 because that is so inspiring. Thank you to @cookiecutternyc for the tender treats, to @yuandmebooks for being iconic and @ohcnoh and @moralisasmile from @simonteen for the love and support. And thank you two kinds of therapy, medication and two 12-step programs for helping me experience the night without anxiety and just feel pure joy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Andrew Hyung-bum Choi (5/14/52-1/31/22) thanks for being a pal. 💔
Wow I’ve missed my friends and their babies and their foods and their vibes and their hugs and their love. None of the friends are pictured lol because we were too busy talking and LA people are just too damn chill to pose. 😅 ALSO I learned about OMG LOL dolls and will never be the same. (Miss you everybody who’s tagged and was there in spirit we are all so blessed to be vaxxed 🌱)

happy Mother’s Day to mothers, children of mothers, estranged children of mothers, those choosing not to mother and those unable to mother. Anyway here’s wonderwall.
Hanging out in regular places with some very demure friends 💗
Okay, so, chin touch? Hold drinks? Neither. Both? Who cares! 💗 Love you. Love to be reunited. Love that Greta is too baller to even be #onhere 🇰🇷🪁
Day and Night. Somebody actually went outside and it was lovely. Celebrating the LAUNCH of summer I turned pretty (season 1 out on Amazon right now!😭😭😭 it’s so good) on a rooftop with @phenomenal. Mansei with Jenny and Minjin. Also 🥰 for getting to see J. The photo I sent my brother late last night in the cab ride where we gushed about Gilmore Girls and me and @leilani_shizue_’s date night 💗
Happy 44th wedding anniversary. In sickness and in health is some real shit. Thank you for modeling strength for me this past year. 💕 (Health update for my dad: he’s out of ICU and in an acute care facility from continued complications due to pneumonia and ALS. Thank you for the prayers and check ins and compassion and identification and the wisdom of friends who have moved through this. Love you 🪁🙏 also for the AZNs thank god 4 4=8 amirite? 😅)
Tra la la la la what projects can future me abandon bc I don’t know how space/time works. New hey, cool job in stories. Episode 145. How an ADHD diagnosis and medication is helping me be gentle to myself and how LOL a diagnosis feels when I have to rely on myself to be the authority on me. 🌼 Photo by @philchang__ at @kettltea CORRECTION: photo by @leilani_shizue_ Photo is me wearing a sahadis beanie indoors like a real piece of work, poised to demolish a matcha parfait in the late afternoon at Kettl tea in Greenpoint, the only tea place for discerning palates. The parfait is tagged: my aspirational to do list. The abandoned glass of water next to the parfait is tagged: actual things I need to do today.
