    Freelance writer and activist Suey Park, who started the #NotYourAsianSidekick trend, created a new hashtag trending on Twitter just in time for Valentine’s Day: #ActivistPickupLines.

    Buzzfeed of course is on the case, and they report that Park, 23, was inspired to create the hashtag by a student who told her, “I’m down for the struggle and the snuggle.”

    The hashtag is still trending now, and though not all of them are gold, you can see a lot of them here.

    In the meantime, here are a few of our favorites.
