Absolutely. I'm crashing too.
comment in response to post
Yes. I understand that... And I understand that I don't really have a 'dog' in this fight as a white guy... But I still very much hope for a strong and independent Taiwan, and I'll show my support any way I can

I hate Bezos and Amazon, but done and done. Ordered.
comment in response to post
Hey, you don't need to convince me that it's a perfect country, I already know 🤣 I'm just trying to figure out how to best advocate for it...
comment in response to post
Well that's a huge mistake. Obviously.
comment in response to post
Honestly, I think because I live near Harvard, I should get the least subtle options possible 😅
comment in response to post
Even more messed up. Who cares if it's Europeans or Thai? It's not ok. In my opinion (which very few people care about), Taiwan should be backed across the board.
comment in response to post
Out of stock across the board 😭
comment in response to post
Oh yes, I'm well aware of when Thailand broke and sent Taiwanese nationals to China. Messed up.
comment in response to post
Yup, that's my speed. Where do I get them??
comment in response to post
Yah, I was gonna DM you about it, but I couldn't see an option for it because I frankly suck at social media 😅 Always looking to learn more.
comment in response to post
Ok, so I didn't see this anywhere in Taiwan 2 years ago! I bought the hat offered to me, I guess... As the stupid white dude 😭
comment in response to post
I feel like we have two different conversation streams going now 😅 Ok... So, the sun is associated with KMT but not DPP? I genuinely want to be educated here... But for sure, I get dirty looks with the 'sun' hat 😬
comment in response to post
Is there a hat or T shirt for that? 🤣 I'll wear it if so!
comment in response to post
Oh I'm well aware! I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, so please take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I've tried to be very informed on this... And I'm with Taiwan to the grave. It is my favourite place I've ever been.
comment in response to post
But honestly, I understand the context for Winnie the Pooh... I just feel like it doesn't land as hard here as a straight up Taiwan Sun?
comment in response to post
Also, for context, I live right next to Harvard. You can imagine the dirty looks I might get, walking around there as a white dude with the ROC emblem... Knowing exactly what I'm doing 😬
comment in response to post
I hear you. I don't know what else to do though, it's what I have from my visit to Taiwan... And I love it, and I love Taiwan. Not sure how else to show my support, but am genuinely open to suggestions! What else can I do?
comment in response to post
I don't care. Perfection is perfection 🤣
comment in response to post
Fair enough, I'd be disgusted having him anywhere near me too 😆
comment in response to post
It's all part of their plan.
comment in response to post
I consistently wear a hat with the ROC / Taiwan logo on it. Sometimes I get dirty looks...
comment in response to post
I only want to know: how and does it really work?! I already know that it's amazing
comment in response to post
I can't wait... He better not get cautious now!
comment in response to post
I love this. Calm, cool, collected, and SPOT ON. Absolute class in utterly destroying that stupid talking point.
comment in response to post
Highly recommend!
comment in response to post
Or maybe the problem is actually exactly how believable it is that people think this way. It's still what the F though.
comment in response to post
Just... What the F. Unbelievable.
comment in response to post
That's a good idea!

I manage people smarter than me who help organizations, mostly non-profits, find ways to more effectively accomplish their missions. There is no boo boo ice, but sometimes there is beer or cocktails.

How quickly he abandoned the plastic milk cap strips 😆
comment in response to post
Yes, there is that too. Credit to the ones who do, but the lack of more widespread outrage is heartbreaking and demoralizing.
comment in response to post
Every single climate activist should be talking about this just as much as every humanitarian activist is. There are no words to accurately frame the absolutely disgusting nature of this catastrophic waste of... Everything.
comment in response to post
We deserve it! 🥂

I don't judge! That's a wonderful looking plant, who I hope has greener times ahead! 😉
comment in response to post
Well, I'm sure the plants disagree with 'alone', and it seems they keep wonderful company. But point taken - cheers! 🥃
comment in response to post
Collections are so much fun - especially when you can see a person's unique flavour in them (mood-driven or not!). I sometimes have a very hard time not collecting, especially when traveling 😬 Plants are such a pleasant collection, I'm jealous!
comment in response to post
I love it! Had no idea Costco carries it - what a steal! That picture has thrown catastrophic doubt on my pure and genuine intention of not having a whisky tonight 😆🥃
comment in response to post
That is such a good whisky. 🤩 (the plants are very nice to!)
comment in response to post
My cat loves these... And frequently brings his 'kills' back to his plate
comment in response to post
Rest up! Can't help anyone if you're not in good condition - we need your continued voice, but take care of yourself first!
comment in response to post
Not to mention, this admin has done more to benefit the CCP than the 'spies' they talk about could ever hope to achieve. Between killing USAID, and now our education system, they're categorically destroying American soft power around the world and giving the CCP everything they could have hoped for.
comment in response to post
Thanks for this Danny - I knew some of this, but you did a fantastic job putting it all together here! 💪🙏
