Happy book birthday to Land of Broken Promises, the story that has taken me my whole life to write. I never dreamed I’d publish a book about my childhood as an undocumented immigrant. Thanks @literaticat, @alexandra_coops , @rosemaryhb, @QuillTreeBooks , @juliaskuo!

So grateful for this opportunity to "chat" with the supremely talented @juliaskuo . This conversation debunks some of the myths surrounding author/illustrator collaboration and even touches upon our shared Taiwanese American experience. #mglit #weneeddiversebooks #bookcovers

How badly does Apple want to extract its 30% tax on subscription revenue from top apps like Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Bumble, HBO, Masterclass, and Babble? Enough to *secretly buy Google ads* directing people to the App Store - just to make sure they don’t sign up on a website. 🧵

We expect the press to hold us accountable, given our scale and role in the world. But when reporting misrepresents our actions and motivations, we believe we should correct the record.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Recent reporting on Facebook, including the Facebook Files series from the Wall Street Journal, is based on genuine internal documents from Facebook, and actual quotes.
Facebook has not asserted that any source document or quote isinauthentic.

1/Here's my take on the recent Facebook scandal involving research into the psychological effects of teens using Instagram.
Once again, I'll be fighting Brandolini’s Law “The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it.”

Imagine people arguing in 1998 that Microsoft deserves 30% of all software sales with zero alternatives allowed lmao
