Thank you everyone for going to the No Kings protests today: over 2,000 protests across the United States, and apparently around 11 million Americans participating.

Anyway please stay safe as much as you can, know your capacity, and let those who have capacity and resources stand up and out. Being in the fight also requires people to survive and organize for the long haul, and that includes knowing what you're fighting for and fortifying your spirit.

Now I think I have to DNF Babel. I'm literally working on a memoir on how I don't speak Cantonese or Toisan, my parents' heritage languages, fluently, & how I can't communicate fully with my parents who don't speak English. Part of that is cuz of a nationalist push twds Mandarin. So yes I'm pissed.

Reading this Reddit thread with others who are also outraged that in RF Kuang's Babel, a kid from Canton, China in the 1800s isn't speaking Cantonese 🤦🏻♀️ it's just so egregious while critiquing capitalism w/ linguistics & Cantonese is now endangered as a language IRL 😡 www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...
