We wake up to screens.
We work on screens.
We wind down with screens.
Last week, someone reminded me how to interrupt the loop.
I wrote about what that moment feels like, and why it matters: jonhmchan.substack.com/p/con…

I've started writing again, and there's one big question that's been on my mind for a long time: when intelligence is no longer what defines our humanity, what will replace it?

Learning about @fortelabs's Second Brain and CODE has been a huge lightbulb moment for me. Pair that with @obsdmd and I'm deep, deep down the rabbit hole.

Been taking a break from here for some months with everything unfolding at Twitter, and it's come to a head with today's news about the layoffs. Tweeps, thank you for everything you've done for this platform #OneTeam

Internships have long served as pathways into tech careers. It's time we reimagine them to ensure they're truly accessible to all New Yorkers.

I just binged ALL of @cleoabram’s new project and I couldn’t be more excited! It’s tempting to fall into despair about tech these days, but there’s still reason for hope - can’t wait to see more

Burnout among tech workers is very real. The home team chats with @JonHMChan, director of engineering for public platform at Stack Overflow, about how to manage your mental health at work and why maybe a treadmill desk isn't such a great idea.

Really excited to see this happening especially with @bethanymarz involved. It's incredible how the NYC tech community has come together to provide under-represented students with paid opportunities to explore tech careers - and now they're expanding!
NYC's Summer Youth Employment Program has been a critical lifeline for youth to get paid work experience during the pandemic.
Today, we're announcing a pilot to scale and extend SYEP year-round — and we're recruiting tech companies to join us! Learn more: bit.ly/3scFosk

Happy start of Asian Heritage Month everyone! Join me in celebrating by supporting Asian-owned businesses and ordering boba and soup dumplings for dinner tonight! This is totally not something I do personally two to three times a week... yeah...

I've been reading this report by @HiddenTribesUS on polarization and I can't put it down. If you think about social technology and its impact on politics like I do, give it a read: hiddentribes.us/media/qfpekz…

I was at a show opening in memory of Christina Yuna Lee at @EliKleinGallery tonight
I didn’t realize she worked there and that I’m just two degrees of separation from her. With the attacks targeting Asian communities lately, it was both a beautiful and haunting experience.

For most of my life in NYC, it always seemed like a relatively safe place, even for someone who’s both openly queer and Asian. That’s changed rapidly the last few years.

Yet, in times like these, when I reflect on when marginalized communities have come under great threat in the past, we have always leaned on community to shepherd us through. This is one of those times.
Stay safe everyone.
