Ang Pau (红包) or Red Packet is a monetary gift given during holidays or for special occasions such as a wedding, a graduation, or the birth of a baby. Although the red envelope was popularised by Chinese traditions, other cultures also share similar traditional customs. The red packet is also called 压岁钱 (money that can suppress the demon) when given to children during Chinese New Year. This term, however, is now understood as “money given to children by their elders”.

Before stepping out of the house to visit relatives or friends this Lunar New Year, bring a pair of Mandarin Oranges (柑) with you. A traditional gift during Chinese New Year is the exchanging of a pair of mandarin oranges and the giving of red packet containing an even amount of money. Unmarried adults and children receive these red packets from married family members and friends in exchange of wishing them good health and fortune.

Pineapples are called “ong lai” in Hokkien and Cantonese, which literally translates to 旺来 or “fortune come”, hence their popularity during the CNY celebrations. It is considered lucky to have them during Chinese New Year and giving Pineapple Tarts (黄梨塔) as gifts symbolises good fortune and luck.

I know I don’t post often, but I just love Laura so much. She’s a huge reason I felt comfortable coming out to my family, since my dad was the one to introduce me to Against Me!

Having such a cool and unabashedly trans person playing on our radio meant the world to me and I don’t know if I would have had the courage without her.

While I wasn’t ever uncertain my mom would support me, my father has always been harder to read. So having him say that she was one of his favorite singers, made my life a hell of a lot easier.

As cheesy as it is, this is why representation matters.

Long Live Laura Jane Grace
