hey y'all! I'm Soleil Ho, a writer who goes deep into food, pop culture, identity politics and mass media. I've written about: an edible wasp festival in Japan; the hollowing-out of the COVID welfare state; and how Stop Asian Hate got warped into pro-carceral politics. I also write cookbooks!

The Bay Area’s protest legacy runs deep, but there are new risks: militarized police, more surveillance, higher stakes. In this First Aid Kit guide, @cecilialei.bsky.social breaks down how to stay safe, what to say (or not) if you're detained, and how to protect your rights if you’re risking arrest.

what's the most exotic place you've ever puked? mine's not exactly exotic but i did once have a hangover at the nyc facebook office and barfed in their very nice bathroom
Got food poisoning from Fogo De Chao. Puked out the side of a moving cab along beautiful Copacabana Beach. The most exotic place I'll probably ever puke!

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

carry naloxone. look for your local needle exchanges if you live in a city or large town, chances are they have doses for free to give out as well as other harm reduction supplies and tools
Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.
