「台灣肉粽」翻成「Taiwanese Brand Rice Pudding」？ 🤢 These are Taiwanese savory sticky rice dumplings filled with pork and other savory bits that I got from an online Asian market. I’ve also described them as Taiwanese rice tamales. But I have no idea why they are labeled as “rice pudding” here. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Taiwan

The queer trekkies all want to see that blond twink from the rival school get his photon torpedo tubes loaded up by the Klingon, right? #StarTrek

I think a huge part of why Heated Rivalry resonates with straight women is that it grants social permission to be overtly horny on main. By offering a window beyond heteronormative gender roles, queer stories become liberatory spaces for straight people, too.

So who should I contact at SAG-AFTRA and Actors’ Equity about their racist member, Gregg Lichtenson? Also, if you are going to send racist insults to strangers online, you are going to have to be a little more specific. I’ve got many things wrong with me, but I’m certainly not shutting up. #racism

I just finished writing a new song called "Bootlicker" #Music #ProtestMusic

Snow day: shoveled for a couple of hours and made cream of tomato soup

❄️ My ruler maxed out at 12 inches, so we definitely got more than a foot of snow ❄️

Snow and ice outside, curry and antifascist comics inside

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

I wrote a protest song, my first ever. Video coming soon. #FolkMusic

おはようございます！ Good morning!

How to identify American fascists as stated by our own US government in March of 1945.

UPDATE: I passed the Portuguese language exam (CIPLE) that I took last November in the Azores. I got a MUITO BOM (very good, 85%-100%). #Portugal #Portuguese

I overheard a group of 20-something women in Boston tonight planning a Heated Rivalry watch party, and one of them said to her friend, “oh, you can totally bring your boyfriend. He’ll totally be into it, but if he isn’t, he’s not a keeper.” #HeatedRivalry

Rewatching this tonight to remind myself that saner politics and another world are possible

In honor of the end of Stranger Things, I asked Google Gemini to imagine me with Steve Harrington hair and 80’s style. I think the hair part is very doable with a few months’ of growth. Thoughts? #StrangerThings

Happy Birthday Cake Day!

Economics professor Sanjay Reddy called the cuts “a scorched earth policy” that threatened to further destabilize the school. “We’re worried that there would be a death spiral,” he said. apple.news/AMrRT1xM7SMC... #TheNewSchool

It’s root vegetable / Thanksgiving leftovers season

Does anyone else rewrite their professional bio every few months? Or am I an outlier?

Divination deck?

Watching this play out in HK is a shock to the system, but to anyone who’s seen it happen time and again in the mainland, it’s also all too familiar and predictable. After any disaster, “stability maintenance” (維穩) and “stabilising public sentiment” (穩定社會情緒) are always foremost official priorities.

Fun times with Mika the Mamalute

Back in the kitchen: Musabbaḥa (chickpeas in tahini sauce); whipped feta cheese dip with wanuts, homemade pickles, and homemade fermented raspberry chili sauce; experimental no-knead sourdough flatbread (a cross between Taiwanese thick scallion pancake and Levantine manakish with za’atar).

Gleaning the last of the peppers and transplanting strawberry plants at ReFocus for garden cleanup day #gardening

✊ Organizing builds (at least) 2 kinds of power: (1) 🗳️ Electoral Power: Mamdani's campaign and coalition proved this with a major win and is now gearing up for the fight to govern.

Still harvesting from the garden 55 pounds of produce this season Now I’m in my Hatsune Miku era

remember this: tyrrany requires constant effort. it breaks. it leaks. authority is brittle. remember this: try.

I didn’t think it was possible to make Mamdani look hotter than he already is IRL, but the NY Post has managed to pull it off with this cover

Happy Dick Cheney is Dead and Mamdani Becomes Mayor Day to all who celebrate

Happy Halloween

Sharing to de-stigmatize: I went on #SNAP years ago when I quit my creative agency job and cofounded an independent design studio. I was also working a couple of adjunct teaching jobs. Stigmatizing the use of public services is stupid. Nobody thinks twice when we drive on taxpayer-funded roads.

I got my official master gardener badge tonight, but you can also call me HRH 🌱 👑

It was a great honor hosting the 2025 AIGA Design Conference in Los Angeles last week, where we explored the theme of “Design + Performance.” Thanks again to all of our attendees, speakers, volunteers, and sponsors. See you next year in Kansas City! Photos by Frank Aymami #AIGADesignConf

Back in the classroom at @svanyc.bsky.social MFA in Design for Social Innovation. Here’s today’s agenda:

THERE IS ONLY ONE STRUGGLE - a reminder from newly recognized AIGA Medalist Rick Griffith. It’s a message that is relevant all day, every day, but especially today.

Happy Selective Sympathy Day to all who celebrate

Konnichiwa from Little Tokyo

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism. 🧵

TFW bullies gaslight you into thinking that they are the real victims

WTF, LA 🤖 🐕?

Sunday pool day #LosAngeles

Mere minutes after enjoying my breakfast burrito in peace, I was approached by a gaggle of Scientologists with suspiciously perky smiles asking if I wanted to take a "stress test." So far, LA is serving up a 100% peak #LosAngeles.
