So is what Sam Rockwell’s white lotus character, um, described the only way for a yt dude to know what it’s like to be an Asian woman? Because I’m kinda relieved then I just am one already :P

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Accurate

Don't beat yourself up about how long you've been away from your writing practice. The important thing is to go back. Tonight, why not read the last pages you wrote?

If you think this fascist DEI crackdown is no big deal, you are complicit. This is supremacist Nazism.

plutocracy - rule by the wealthy kleptocracy - rule by corrupt thieves kakistocracy - rule by the worst, least qualified But what if it's all 3 -- what's the word for that?

Couldn’t even get one day of rest before the sh$&show started…jfc

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Lynch exposed all the darkness of human nature in his art with a brutal yet beautiful honesty that always spoke to me. His fundamental premise...that polite exteriors conceal the sickest horrors...rings with truth. Twin Peaks tore something new in American pop culture that way. RIP #davidlynch

We survived an insurrection 4 years ago today, only to certify the insurrectionist today.

Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️

Snowflakes showing they’ve never been scolded by an Asian parent before 😜

We wish all "health insurance companies" and their shareholders Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. May you see your work for what it is. You are all part of the evil system, down to a local clerk. We have agreed in 1946 that the "Nuremberg defense" - "I was just fulfilling orders" is not valid.

I really wish this “bend the knee” framing would stop. They’re not acquiescing or being forced to comply. They’re putting themselves in a good position to maximize profits. These are billionaires and corporations; applying morality to their motives gives them way too much credit.

Gorgeous Hoi An lanterns at night

People are enraged by health insurance denials because they arise when they are at their most vulnerable and least able to respond. Both physical and mental health matter to our ability to respond to the types of administrative demands that insurers rely on. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Horrifying and sudden developments in South Korea…hoping for a safe resolution 😢

It is #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek and, at Robinson, we publish a number of titles that offer self-help support for coping with bereavement. ##GriefSupport #GriefAwareness

Happy Bangkok Thanksgiving!

Setting a mood

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Please try to absorb these insane ideas from Leon and Vivek www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It’s the middle of the week, and I’m extending a paw if you need it. You never know what someone is going through, but sometimes a little hand (or paw) can make a big difference. Let’s spread love today—you never know whose day you might brighten. ❤️ #corgi #corgicrew #corgisky

Anyone saying don't be outraged is in a position of power. Anyone saying people have the right to express their personal views, however hate-filled and inciting, is in a position of power. Anyone saying that Dems should ignore 'identity' issues and move to the middle-right is in a position of power.
