had some thoughts on my experience as east asian american in the 2000s/90s, seeing that period being culturally romanticized/nostalgia-fied nowadays. Thinking about this from seeing reviews of Primetime and how it looked at the 2000s

Freshly baked moon cakes for mid-autumn festival 😎✌️ (mildly damaged from a twenty minute bike ride through the rain)

A box of freshly baked moon cakes. Two of them are snow moon cakes. One seems to be Cantonese style. Two more are fusion western types with croissant pastry wrapping.

I legitimately think Chuan Nan Spicy King is way better than Lao Gan Ma. On top of having more interesting aromatics, it makes for a way better and more fragrant fried rice.

I got into an Uber once where the driver was playing Chapter 385 of this AI-generated audiobook and I was literally able to recognize exact plagiarized lines from Lord of the Rings from memory while listening to it but he insisted that it was 'completely user submitted'

Incredible cafe name. Memorable. Perfect. Smart Danny Devito addition.

A cafe named "bobby stop stealing our camping chairs"

The front of the cafe "Bobby stop stealing our camping chairs". There is a cutout of danny Devito. The chairs are branded with the words "stolen by bobby"

saw an urban planning video about how these ‘decorative’ bike racks were the worst, and it wasn’t until I encountered one today did it sink in how bad they were; they take up so much usable space, difficult to park more than one bike side by side, and the pole is annoying to fasten your lock to.

A decorative horizontal spiral bike rack with a single park biked inside it. It is a huge waste of space and difficult to use for actual bike riders.

Thank you for coming to my ted-talk

A sketch of cartoon me angrily ranting. "I do NOT want to be yuri baited! I want to watch an anime where cute girls do cute things and be in love and like to kiss eachother! And I really don't think that's too much to ask! Let your clearly gay character's just be gay! If you make it a phase where they magically turn straight for some bloke after 5 episodes, what was even the point?"

People are complaining about Lanterns being a 'Surf Dracula' show and I completely get it, however as someone who knows nothing about Green Lantern, I went into it to watch John Stewart deal with his toxic boss à la The-Devil-Wears-Prada-style and it's been a blast so far

cut all the hair I grew post transition because I was sick of long hair and my Korean hairdresser was like, “…are you sure? Your hair is so…foopy! It’s good!” Why yes. My hair is foopy and good. I’ve been foopymaxing. But it’s time.

Maddie with straight hair and a bixie bob cut for the first time in her life. The hair will unstraighten in a week because I have naturally curly hair so this is the only time I get to experience being a normal Asian woman before my curly genes beat me back to submission

the sad thing about 2XKO is watching people bounce off fighting games because they thought 2XKO was the 'easiest' due to lack of motion inputs when it has some of the most disgusting links and fucked up mixes ever and they would've fared better just playing Street Fighter with motion inputs instead

Consumer Reports tested 13 e-scooters to rate and review. But because of the frequency of injuries being reported - including injuries sustained by the CR testers themselves in this process - CR is not recommending ANY. www.consumerreports.org/cars/electri...

We Tested 13 Electric Scooters. We Don’t Recommend Any. - Consumer Reports

CR doesn't recommend e-scooters because of their high speeds and rising injury rates. Two of CR's testers sustained injuries while evaluating e-scooters, too.

it's great that China has fantastic high speed rail now. back when I was young, if you said, "I want public transport like Japan" you'd be called a fuckin' weeb. now you can say, "I want public transport like China" and be told to kill yourself you fuckin' communist

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

this reminded me that i made this last week and then didn't ever post it anywhere 😭

a two-panel meme, the top being a screenshot of Pride & Prejudice (2005 Kiera Knightly Version) with Kitty looking out the window with a bit of a grimace on her face. over it is a screenshot of Trung's post that says, "haha here comes Bingley"

the bottom panel is a mosaic of blurry shots of the Bennett sisters + Mrs. Bennett freaking out and very quickly cleaning up the living room. over it is a screenshot of Trung's post that says "HE'S WITH DARCY. DARCY IS ALSO HERE. BINGLEY IS HERE WITH DARCY. BINGLEY AND DARCY ARE BOTH HERE AND ARE ON THE WAY UP TO THE HOUSE"
