So K-pop Demon Hunters won best animated feature and best original song at the Golden Globes, eh? Awesome. 🤩

Here are five guidelines for how to respond if US federal immigration agents stop, approach you, or knock at your door. zeteo.com/p/what-to-do...

De woede van "de hardwerkende Nederlander" wordt al jaren omgeleid naar migranten, ‘woke’, media en Brussel. Zo blijven de echte economische machtsverhoudingen buiten schot.

Today I asked my conservator if she could get me a Deezer subscription cause apparently my mobile provider offers a complimentary subscription to said service. But most importantly: Fuck Spotify and its military investments, I am not having my money used for that shit.

i had eight hours of sleep and stayed off twitter and my depression went away

“You’re not from the US, why do you care what happens over there?” I have friends and relatives who live there and I‘m concerned about them.

How lovely that the teenage edgelords that appear to comprise the current US government are so transparent regarding Drumpf’s intentions to get his grubby, diseased hands on Greenland next.

A grandmother and her 5-year-old grandson burned to death in Gaza when their tent caught fire, as thousands of Palestinians battle harrowing winter conditions in flimsy makeshift housing and the humanitarian crisis persists.

Find me the conservative parents with kids in daycare who would be okay with a group of anonymous men, some masked, some with cameras, being allowed without their permission into their kid’s daycare in the middle of the day to *film their kids*. Find me one.

10/10 investigative journalism right there.

Stilk laughing at how so many billionaires pumped their money into trying to stop Mamdani and still failed badly. Compassion and solidarity for the win!

+ As a non-American .

I can‘t help but feel a little pride as someone who’s also of South Asian descent - though I am aware I don’t look identifiably so to most- at seeing Mamdani being sworn in as mayor of NYC. Go Zohran!

Time to channel my inner Disney princess.

Make America Gay Again!

When I get back to uploading videos you’re going to be seeing Tara Shinhye 2.0, with a much improved self-esteem as the main feature .😁

I’m slowly getting comfortable with the fact that I’m neurodivergent. I’ve struggled with it for way too long due to feeling pressured to hide or “mask” it as much as possible for most of my life- “austic masking” being another term I learned recently. It’s going up in any case!

Me: Alright, I’ve got all these plans for today, I’m definitely gonna be produc—- My anxiety: BWAHAHAHA no.

So much to read, so much anxiety to try and manage before I can sit down to do so.

One of my fondest memories of this past year is a close friend hugging me when I gave her a gift for her birthday. She does NOT like being touched, nor touching others - not even a handshake. She told me I was the first person she ever hugged. Still makes me smile.

Set my phone display to greyscale and it definitely makes a difference as my ADHD brain now turns to it much less for stimulation.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know

Soundtrack to my life these days. #sleeptoken #infinitebaths #eveninarcadia

A comment from RFK Jr. from earlier this year that stuck with me: “Autistic people will never be able to write poetry” Me, an autistic person who not only started writing poetry at 11 years old but won a nationwide secondary school poetry contest at 14 with a poem I’d written a year earlier:

”He’ll adhere to the rule of law.” An “alternative fact” if I ever saw one.

That debate was an absolute dumpster fire and it’s understandable Mehdi wouldn’t have done it if he’d known what kinds of folks would be there - but I’m still glad he let whackos like Connor “I’m a fascist, heehee” Whatshisname and Richard “white people are Native American” Black talk.

here’s an Elon Musk Christmas Tale. Merry Xmas everyone ❤️

“We’ve got nothing to hide.” - Trump, around a month ago.

I got myself a copy of Noam Chomsky and Ilan Pappé‘s “On Palestine” but thinking of returning it now given the revelations surrounding the former’s ties to Epstein. Sigh.

Vessel’s “Provider” adlibs (?) make me feel things. #sleeptoken youtube.com/shorts/QyCQO...

I see Drumpf‘s interpreters are hard at work again.

“In the end government either serves the productive, patriotic hardworking American citizen or it serves those who break the laws, cheat the system, and seek power and profit at the expense of our nation.“ The irony of this and all other semi-coherent statements that emerged from that word salad.

Bongino is gone, and honestly Patel cannot follow soon enough.

Finally got back my copy of Jang Jin-sung’s “Dear Leader“ a few weeks ago. It was signed by the author. Signature reads “With greetings from Jang Jin Sung “ (or, well, “Jang Jin Sung, greetings” if you want to be 100% literal).

THIS. So important. After a decade of fretting about whether my writing was “good enough “ to impress a potential audience I remembered that I write because I enjoy writing. Now I no longer feel pressure.

Brb planning trips to New Yerk, New Nerk, Hoston, Logeles and Logeeles next year.

Now that I mentioned language learning: If you’re learning/want to learn Japanese and like watching anime like I do (or any kind of original Japanese-language tv show really) try to watch with both audio and subtitles in Japanese. I myself have been doing this for a few days now and it helps!

My Mandarin language learning app has me tripping over the pronunciation of Sìchuān .

@zeteo.com Compare and contrast Donald Trump's response to Rob Reiner's murder with Biden and Harris's responses to Charlie Kirk's murder. There is no 'both sides'. Just one side - Trump - that is cruel, sociopathic, unhinged.

The way to restart the idea machine is PAY CREATIVES FOR THEIR WORK

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

We could all use some of the bravery, and most of all, genuine compassion for his fellow citizens ,regardless of personal differences, that Mr. Ahmed al-Ahmed demonstrated in tackling and disarming one of the two Bondi Beach shooters. A true hero.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Jen and I are heartbroken by the tragic loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.

It’s giving “I can smell your arousal, woman“ from one of those popular romantasy books.

Ever wonder how some billionaires can get away with paying such low tax rates compared to working class Americans? Here’s their secret playbook and what we can do about it.

Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong. Wherever in the world it happens. You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.
