Hello. Happy New Year. Some of us at Hyphen are still on vacation, but most of us are back. I just got back from Texas where I was caught in a little holiday tradition called Family Drama. Which unfortunately was exacerbated by a family emergency. Then I came back here, got in my car, and the accelerator got stuck, which is kind of scary when you’d like your car to stop. Did I mention that I also got food poisoning in Arkansas and spent 4 hours in the ER? Anyways, good riddance 2005. I’m hoping for a calmer 2006.
Here at Hyphen, we have lots of things in store for the year. For one, Issue 8 is here! Soon we’ll have the new cover and table of contents up so that you can see what’s in the issue. Subscribers will get their issues this month.
Our editors are already working on stories for Issue 9, due out in the spring. We also have grand plans to redesign the website (If you have any suggestions, please share them in the comment section below), and will be holding some of our usual events as well as some new ones.
On to some news:
Here’s a story at New California Media about Asian American students being harassed in an Oakland school. Parents had to get a Chinese-language newspaper involved before the school administrators would do anything about it. You Can't Snitch If You Can't Speak
Remember the infamous Miss Jones who mocked Tsunami victims on the radio? She still has a job in radio, and she's still saying stupid, racist stuff. This time, her target is Caribbean immigrants. Miss Jones Hasn't Learned a Thing
Also, Hyphen was included in this new travel book about SF: San Francisco: The Unknown City. It's not your typical guidebook with listings of the same old same old. Instead, it has a lot of tidbits about places, people and things that even locals may not know about. Read a brief review of the book here.
