i have money to commission things and am struggling to find an artist who i want to commission helpppppppp. (to be clear, this is not a call for people to self-promote, this is mostly me turning to my mutuals going 'people i know send me help as i try to commission a portrait')

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew of any labs/programs looking for MS/PhD students in physics outside of the US? I’m not actively actively looking to leave my program because I did just start it, but I figured it’s a good thing to keep an eye on. #physics

Doing a real soft small inquiry here. Does anyone have any art/experience in drawing art of butches of color in traditional cultural clothing? Tyyyyy

As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.

Another funny thing is people keep recommending books to read and just… not korean ones? And i’m like… come on folks. Rec some of them. At least one. You gotta work in at least one to every post. It’s not that hard. You could do julia riew’s the last tiger!

I’m QRTing this for better reach ngl, but LIKE JENN LOOK AT THIS. DO RESEARCH. FIVE SECONDS OF IT. OR NOT EVEN RESEARCH?? JUST THOUGHT? Like just don’t put on random asian stuff cause you saw asian! That’s stupid! It makes you look stupid!

Two jenn! Two! Two seperate chun-li costumes! And when people pointed it out they’re like ‘well i don’t own a hanbok so how was i supposed to cosplay it?’ IDK JUST WEAR A BLUE SHIRT. OR MAYBE DON’T?

θ Chun | grad school era @bingsujung.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

It gets worse AND funnier. There are not one but TWO separate women cosplaying the tiger wearing a chunli costume. I also saw a girl wearing ukiyo-e art earrings. Like… damn girl did you just see asian and go ‘that’s right!’

especially bc, just gonna put this out there, people still wear that hat. Mostly for religious purposes. You’ll see it especially at weddings and when mudang wear it. Like yes? People rent it as a costume piece, but for like… visiting castles.

θ Chun | grad school era @bingsujung.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

I’ve chaotically ended up in this argument around cosplaying characters from KPDH. And like… save me. I shouldn’t be arguing about this. But some people are fucking stupid. Like i’m so sorry to break this to you, but you’re not owed the chance to cosplay using people’s cultural clothing?? Wild that.

But most of my friends in the humanities never learnt anything like this bc humanities work includes less data manipulation. And that’s fucking dangerous. We’ve set people out into the world not teaching them how to read basic statistics.

θ Chun | grad school era @bingsujung.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

This, however, is not something most humanities classes outside of college-level courses will teach you. I learnt about this kind of thing from science classes and research bc of my work with large data sets.

Polling data can easily be skewed based on who decided to answer the poll and where the people who decided to answer the poll are from. What you need is actual voting data, the literal numbers given on who voted.

Like so often I get people saying to me ‘Asian men voted democrat more than Asian women in the 2024 election’ and when I ask for a citation they give me the CBS exit polls from the 2024 election. Here’s the issue with that: exit polls aren’t voting statistics.

People struggle to read statistics or basic scicomm articles in a way that won’t be solved by having them read Jane Austen. We have to teach people science better than we currently are.

Something I honestly find incredibly annoying is the thought that the educational crisis we’re facing is simply because society’s devalued the arts. That’s fundamentally just not true. The literacy and educational crisis is built out of a poor science education just as much.

Like i saw someone reccing ‘daughter of the moon goddess’ by sue lynn tann. Which is, undoubtedly, an excellent book. It’s also set in ancient china. There are no demons. Everyone is chinese. No one sings. There is no found family. Like… i’m sorry did u just go ‘yes asian!’ Wtf.

θ Chun | grad school era @bingsujung.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

My one great fucking annoying is how many people keep reccing chinese media when talking about kpop demon hunters. Like… i get that those properties have folkloric focuses… but why are you reccing effectively historical wuxia as being similar to contemporary korean fantasy smh.

No I will not debate you on Palestine. It's a genocide. The UN, the Special Rapporteur, OxFam, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, multiple US state department officials, the Lemkin Institute, and B'Tselem all say it's a genocide. I don't debate flat earthers either.

We're only about $100 away from raising $1500 to support First Nations communities in Kanaky. How about giving us a boost? The money raised will be used to buy food and supplies, as well as pay legal support for imprisoned activists. Resist colonialism, resist french occupation, Free Kanaky!

The one great joy of chinese elders is that once you get them into the idea they’re *super* into the concept of not having to figure out the concept of gendered pronouns. They do *not* linguistically get he vs she when speaking outloud and it’s super fun.

If they can simply assert your activities are aligned with terrorism, and based on that assertion alone with no process they can disappear you, it’s over. We have to keep fighting in the courts, but the most important thing is to build with people in your own community to protect people.
