Taiwan was under martial law from 1949-1987. 38 years. Longest martial law enforced. I got emotional watching the South Korean people rejected the coup and stood with each other. We who had been through it/still see the remnants of it know it cannot happen again.

Not the South Korean president crashing out.

I refuse to like Ariana Grande. Regardless of how good she was in the movie. That woman has more shade ranges than an Asian beauty brand. It’s a no for me.

My reading habit being reignited was one of the best things to have happened to me in the second half of 2024

In other words, Trump’s tariffs were a colossal failure in his first term that cost us billlions. Why don’t most Americans know this? If such a blunder happened in Biden’s first time wouldn’t it have been a top news story, raised again & again through the campaign? It’s not just “civics” folks.

This is BAD

If you’re a social worker in healthcare and your first thought AND SAID OUT LOUD of new admissions to your unit/case load is “let’s see what surprises we’re getting” and said in a derogatory way…. YOU’RE the problem.

Adding fluoride to water is considered one of the great public health achievements of the 20th century. With President-elect Donald Trump in the White House, & RFK Jr leading HHS, the 21st century may be another story. www.statnews.com/2024/11/13/f...

As my friend Kiese Laymon says — and I believe posted this the other day — “there is no safety, only safer” especially for black queer people. Something I have been saying for years is “there’s nowhere I could go in America and not be in America.” Thanks for assuming I didn’t understand this tho.

Same

I just need people to understand that NYC is majority minority city and around a third (someone fact check me on this) of the city is foreign born. But I've not once worked on a desk in journalism in NYC that reflected these demographics.

Always getting hotpot no matter where I go

I really hate work 🫨🫨

Policing is violence on an unfathomable scale in the US: “Police in the US use force on at least 300,000 people each year, injuring an estimated 100,000 of them”

many of us were not the last time, and more are not going to be this time if you have a “we” you’re confident saying that about, your we is much smaller than mine

Highly recommend “Born for the Spotlight” on Netflix.

Today, Nazis proudly protested in what used to be my neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio. I lived on that block for five years. As my friend Kiese Laymon has said “there’s no safe [for us] in America, only safer.” I’m staying where it’s safer. And I know my worth and needs. Godspeed.

A great city this was

Thousands of people have joined a 9-day march towards New Zealand’s capital over a contentious bill redefining the country’s founding agreement between the British and the Indigenous Maori people. 🔗: aje.io/xjwsi8

@5hahem.bsky.social I think this is the kinda beef you were looking for

The Maintenance Phase has some great episodes on RFK Jr. highly recommend.

Dairy herds positive with H5N1 avian flu—505 herds in 15 states. It’s not fizzling out. Worrisome.

I see a lot of folks saying they don't feel bad about NYT and I remember when Hulk Hogan sued Gawker into oblivion with Peter Thiel's money and people said the same thing. Dislike NYT all you want! There are a lot of ways it sucks! That is not a good reason to root for de facto dismantling of 1A.

Reminds me of when Alex Jones said the water make the frogs gay

This is the most fascist shit I ever in my life. They rigged the election by interfering with messaging on a major social media app to favor the right, & the person who owns that app has been given high positions in the administration of this new dictatorship. We’re ruled by the Sith Lords now.

Never forget—RFK Jr famously spread a conspiracy that COVID was “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.

Idk what era of life I’m in right now, but I throughly enjoy dressing in more colors, steering away from the “minimalism” I thought I was so good at.

I wonder the amount of my people (from Taiwan/speaks primarily Mandarin) on here 🤔🤔. Tbh it is a nice break from Threads where it seemed like reading was against the laws to some of them 😶😶

As an Indian, as someone who lived in Egypt, and who has, modestly, remained committed to my politics despite that, here are my rules for living under fascist regimes: 1) Focus on organizational structure. 1/

and fuck donald trump and that fugly ass shake and go wig. i hope his gargantuan ass meets gravity, a strong gust of wind, and a tall flight of stairs at the same time

I can’t help but to wonder why Jack sold Tw*tter, just to start another new app that was similar. Very curious..

The Chihuly Garden and Glass was 10/10

This feels like a fresh start to whatever algorithm was doing on the other platforms tbh.

Bought some books from Left Bank Books in Seattle. I am seriously loving this city
