my mother refuses to light the furnace until temperatures go below freezing… which is probably fine if you’re a human mammal. but unfortunately i am a cold-blooded reptile and cannot survive temperatures below 50°F

convinced that i have the strongest lungs ever as a result of a) living most of my life at a high elevation b) constantly cooking chinese food and inhaling oil smoke and c) smoking really scary dabs every day when i was 20

invited a friend over to share my beautiful mid autumn festival dinner and he flaked so now i have to eat one million pounds of chinese food all by myself…

everyone at the gay bar is utterly enamored with fishy pants… as they should be

me with my yaoi boys

ugh… i wish that people who wrote historical fanfiction set in the sinosphere understood what the ideals of confucian masculinity are 😔

birthday boy tactics literally always work

taking advantage of my five-at-a-time alumni card at the university library by checking out the five biggest books i can possibly find

crashing out and dying

how is literally every florence + the machine song about kenta pit babe

thought any time i buy anything ever

ok watching iwtv s2 with mother… here we go

to this day i will still sometimes be randomly reminded of the time i hung out with a friend and we talked extensively about the logistics of branding someone with the car cigarette lighter, and then she sighed heavily and said "wait... don't tell me this is a sex thing for you"

i hate it when people are like "omg the divine comedy is totally bible fanfiction xD!" a) because it's really annoying, but b) because if you're going to call the divine comedy fanfiction, at least call a spade a spade: it's self-insert rpf.

offhandedly told mrs. lu that i hadn’t put on deodorant today and she literally tackled me to the ground to shove her face in my pits

evergreen

A lot of people talk a good game about the whole "killing myself in front of him to change the course of his life" thing but only shen qingqiu followed through

coming down with something that’s giving me crazy aches all over my whole body so i put tiger balm on my neck and shoulders. and then was like “oh i bet this would feel really good on my lymph nodes too” so i put some on my lymph nodes…

on the phone with someone from my insurance about getting hormones and she said "you're such a good girl! i mean boy..."

i literally don’t even know what i would do without these

i was supposed to meet with my advisor today… after cancelling on me thrice i think she has also now stood me up… sigh

has anyone ever observed that chen (mama gogo) and reggie mantle (riverdale) have a lot in common

unfortunately “how can i be homophobic? my bitch is gay” is one of the best bars of all time

the reward of publishing evil fic on anon is that nobody knows it’s you… but the downside is that your little eunuchs won’t read it and validate your brilliance

my job on the commune

phlebotomist gave me a neon green bandage and when mrs. lu saw it she said “okay ncitizen!”… 😐

ok just reread this… it’s actually really good

i already know quite a bit about twentieth century vietnam, and still, the more i learn about twentieth century vietnam, the more fervently i believe that ho chi minh and vo nguyen giap were some of the greatest heroes to ever walk this earth

not to make a “not like other girls” post but i do think i’m probably one of the only people in the anglophone world who sees the abbreviation “ICP” and immediately thinks “oh, the indochinese communist party” instead of the other thing

cardamom bun 😃

if you like shoegaze/dream pop i highly recommend 刘森's 华北浪革 album... have been listening to it a lot lately and it's really good

saw a car with the vanity plate "CH1NA" earlier today... so fucking jealous

this is so good... lowkey can't stop thinking about it with regards to [redacted redacted]

every single day i thank god that i didn’t end up going with the name felix when i was changing my name…

i wish people wrote interesting diaspora aus that considered where the characters were coming from, when they or their ancestors emigrated, why, etc. but unfortunately people just write them because they don’t want to do research.

my big mean take is that if you write magical genitalswap fic and it is fetish porn, and not an ongoing narrative about this cisgender character suddenly experiencing gender dysphoria, and you tag it as "trans (character)" you owe 45 dollars to the trans charity of your choice.

my most insignificant pet peeve is people calling going to vintage/consignment stores “thrifting.” two very distinct activities imo.

already got in trouble for asking someone at work if they were in a union 💪 speedrunning getting fired let’s fucking go

why does the medical profession struggle so badly with the concept of being both trans and nonbinary… like what’s up with that

since i work at a factory now i think of myself as an iron girl… all day today i was singing a parody version of “island boy” called “iron girl” to myself

mrs. lu texts (???)

i’ve gained 10 lbs of muscle in the past 6 months (since starting T)… that is insane

i had a dream last night that someone found one of my anon fics and started posting excerpts from it to taunt me 😭

there is nothing like the line 死别已吞声 in du fu dreaming of li bai 1 in this whole world... imo

every time i listen to uk rap i think about that tweet that's like "one thing you can always count on in uk rap is that you'll learn the number of people in the car"

weh i miss living in new york so bad during the high holidays ;-;

it's day 1...
