yu and me books, a woman owned AAPI bookstore in NYC’s chinatown, had a devastating fire in their building yesterday, and they’re closed while they assess the damage

a small thing we can do to support is buy from their bookshop store

😍🥢🫶 Ever since Yu & Me Books opened to uplift Asian American stories, it’s been one of my dreams to go in person to support this bookstore. My dream came true! Was full-on joy to sign TRICKY CHOPSTICKS there. Thanks Yu & Me—go visit if you can! ❤️‍🔥

First day after resigning from teaching, and I'm looking after @yuandmebooks at 44 Mulberry, the only Asian American femme-owned bookstore in NYC, playing @Beyonce's Renaissance on repeat! If you're around Chinatown come say hi today!

Can't recommend "Permission to Come Home: Reclaiming Mental Health as Asian Americans" by Jenny T. Wang, PhD ENOUGH. It has been a guiding light & anchor; you can see how much I've dogeared my copy! Got mine at @yuandmebooks; get/order a copy at your local independent bookstore!

I've been entirely exploring and researching during third draft revisions, trying to figure out how to write growing up in Chinatown in the 1990s/2000s, then went after the @Bookshop_Org free shipping today for Cyber Monday: @yuandmebooks rec'd me this...

The great @maziehirono and I signed books at @yuandmebooks tonight. We wish you a gorgeous holiday season. Please support your local bookseller and small businesses.

I’m so sorry to everyone who bought a ticket tonight! Due to insane flight delays and cancellations, I’m stuck in an airport. I absolutely hate letting readers down! Currently working w/the @yuandmebooks team on something special for ticket holders. Sincerest apologies!

Why do we always end up buying so many books? 🤣

Oh, no. Stopped by @yuandmebooks in Chinatown. I guess there was a fire above the store. Thanks for the heads up, @edlinforpresident Hope they can reopen soon!
