I am looking for comics (any sequential art that isn’t Japanese) which feature asexual/aromantic characters, or better yet include asexual/aromantic themes. Obviously, something created by someone who is themself asexual/aromantic is preferable. I have a grad student writing a thesis on the […]

Recently I went to a Singapore food thing in San Francisco. I was so disappointed with the laksa I resolved to make it myself. ‘Including the noodles, and the fishballs, from scratch’. Guess I have my new project. I just find most laksa made by other people (including Singaporeans) to be […]

The Israelis inform the families of Palestinian prisoners at the last moment that their loved ones won't be released but instead exiled www.instagram.com/p/DPwIHM3At4Q/

My mother: how dare you, I never call you for frivolous reasons Also my mother: so I lost my lock and I was wondering if you could do some soothsaying??? Other people's childhoods must be filled with more plebeian trauma than, "so your mother thinks you're her personal magic 8-ball" (She […]

Good morning my friends Is it a reality? 😭😭😭 Will we live a life without fear soon? Will we live a normal life? Will I be able to get involved to the university? Will be able to find food and clean water easily? I hope this becomes a reality in the upcoming few days ♥️♥️♥️♥️ #gaza #palestine

I don’t usually have breakfast, but when I do, it’s here. The banana leaf is soft and crunchy #makanapatoday

RIP Pannir. Another senseless murder by bureaucracy.

Baking mooncakes for our slightly late mid-autumn festival. One filling is traditional black sesame, the other pistachio paste. Planning to make one more batch with a melon custard filling. #Food #baking #zhongqiugie #mooncakes

Koreans' per capita instant noodle consumption ranks 2nd after Vietnam - and above #Thailand’s. “ #korea's overall instant noodle consumption reached 4.1 billion units last year, ranking eighth worldwide, while its per person consumption stood at 79.2. #Vietnam’s was 81.” #ramen #ramyeon […]

one night in sidemen bali #tootsea #indonesia

Taken out of my mooncake workshop to be informed that the sky is blue (Zionists calling people supporting Palestine antisémites) 🤣

So for reasons* I've been watching a lot of Chinese variety shows. East Asians really cornered the market on variety shows (the russophone side too but I only know of them but never really watched it) but I haven't been checking out the mainland stuff till this year. It's really interesting […]

FIFA is corrupt AF. I’m sure Boboi can work out something

Context: JPN is our National Registration Department. Our footballing body is a global embarrassment

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here? I'll pay the bills. Period. I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team. DM me.

On a much lighter note, following the return of the Malaysian members from the Flotilla's first wave, I'm seeing more than one video where the basic joke is, "land route is blocked, sea route is blocked, TIME FOR WITCHCRAFT". Usually the most liked comments then will be, babes you can't fight […]

Randomly the funniest "cities develop shibboleths from artifacts they won't/don't get rid of" lore when it comes to the Klang Valley, imo, is the fact that the Kelana Jaya Line is still called that. It's no longer a terminus station! 🤣 #tootsea #malaysia #publictransit

I’m at a gay Singaporean food event. Literally Of course I got a special table #singapore #sanfrancisco #food

Didn’t expect less from a regime who murder people for fun #israel

Hello all. Mastodon does NOT solicit paid verification. Looks like there’s a new version of the fake ‘Mastodon Team’ phishing attempts that are targeting new users by replying to Introduction posts. Again, please alert new users, and please report and […] [Original post on tenforward.social]

Good morning my friends I'm still alive. I'm still breathing. My soul is very tired of what we experience every day. Our life is a series of pain and loss. We see and experience unbelievable things. It seems that the end of the world began from here. I want to scream. I want the world to hear […]

Eman @emanahmed es madre de una de las familias de Gaza verificadas por Joy y Aral (https://gaza-verified.org). Eman pide ayuda para cubrir los gastos médicos de su esposo y para poder alimentar a su familia. https://chuffed.org/project/120774-urgent-help-for-imans-family-in-gaza […]

Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist. Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. **Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their […]

Today I had to go to the dentist, to have a filling replaced. My dentist is a small young woman from Glasgow, very competent, who chats cheerily through the whole procedure. But I was thinking of @NouranKhaledGh , a poet from #gaza who wants to be a dentist, and whose home was bombed yesterday […]

Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue: 1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims 2- see above

My only comment about the ASEAN summit is that I sure hope it's the Thai perception of black magic that's more correct (that bomoh melayu >> bomoh Siam) + I hope nasi kangkang is gender neutral #tootsea #malaysia #uspol #iykyk

When discussing Bluesky, people on here really need to stop thinking in terms of instances, i.e. running the *entire* stack themselves. If many people run only parts of it -- and this is happening now that running relays has become easier -- and members of the network spread out, then that's […]

I haven't gone to refuel my car yet but yesterday marks the start of the new petrol subsidy program - right now the govt is threading the needle between our homegrown protectionism and the web of global economy, which among other things, keep banging on our subsidies as a source of leakages and […]

Ed Zitron's latest post stating the case against generative Ai is worth every minute it takes to read it. It's big. You may need to digest it in chunks. So far, though, I haven't been able to look away from it. A small sample: "Every CEO talking about AI replacing workers is an example of the […]

Unlikely but let me imagine just for a bit that due to that one royal maybe we really can solve statelessness in this country #ytjt #iykyk #tootsea #malaysia

Spending the whole weekend setting up a new notebook to be my 2026 diary... From October. A debilitating case of This New Planner Will Fix Me, I know.

So much of this driven by a certain particular royalty *cough* (which is really just tradition at this point - Malaysian football is there for the royal scions to ruin out of their boredom) so I'm especially tickled by how the admins for the pages of the other sports (who may have their own […]

This didn't just happen but I finally remembered to share it here. NYT and The Atlantic hates my phone lmao, right around the time I keep checking them for their Israel coverage too. 😌 (That's not a typo) So about six months at this point, hahahahahhahahaha.

Sorry for the spam of boosts from Palestinians, I'm finally catching up on my notifs.

I hate everyone who abandoned us. I hate life. I hate everything. What is my fault that I live this life? Why do I hear voices so strong that I feel my atoms jumping out of my body? Why do I feel afraid every moment? Why, why, why?😭😭😭 If I keep explaining to you all my life, you will never feel […]

If you're a Malaysian with a valid driving license, I'm pretty sure you're a shoo-in for the upcoming BUDI95, but just in case, you can check your eligibility here: https://www.budi95.gov.my/landing (If you have TNG or Setel or the other petrol pump apps you should be able to check there too) […]

I need a shorter pithy description for, "I'm too Southeast Asian to be a China booster but unfortunately I speak English and reading hyperventilating westerners via articles on NYT is making me a Dengist."

Re: last boost - oh no, they're on to us 🤣

Nearly 2 years. Nearly every single day of the past two years I find a video of a parent or anyone else looking for the corpse of a child in Gaza in the hope that the obvious is not true. 🧵

Now that my grays are really growing out I have been demoted (upgraded??) by the mamak uncle from amoi to akka 🥲 #tootsea #malaysia
