the u.s. ranks near the bottom of the 2025 global peace index, placing 128th out of 163 countries - are we wining yet?

obsessed with demi’s new album, though I could probably skip the song “ghost”..

when you’ve been up since 5 am and the gym don’t open till 7 pov 😆

2-min daily deep squat hold opens your hips, boosts ankle mobility, and activate glutes for better movement all day. ig: gains i guess the asian-squat (亞洲蹲) is back 😗

boots (netflix) just got level up from episode 6

in honor of pride taiwan, here’s a pic of me and the hubby soaking in the hot springs when we were there. happy pride <3 🇹🇼🏳️‍🌈

the heater is on 🙃

it’s okay to smile/ say good morning to strangers you pass by. you don’t have to stop and share your life story. it’s one of the things I really miss about taiwan and nz - small gestures go a long way

pre-work sesh. let’s go!

gong to be below zero tonight 🥶

first day off together in 4 months and we spent it at ikea. i’m now one of those people who treat every display couch like a rest stop. - scored a couple of bedside lamps. ✌🏼

something about a crisp fall morning and a cuppa milo just takes me right back to my nz days

just realize i have two days off for the first time since may.. and it’d be our first day off together since june.

totally just got tix to see one of my fave comedians next month! pre-planned datenight - checked!

trashy tv in the early morning is the best - love is blind s09

not sure how i went from grocery shopping to getting jabbed. also found out a friend’s antivax… wild day.

one man’s leftover weight, another man’s milestone. 200 lbs pressed 💪🏼

7 million people - hopefully that’s enough motivation, inspiration, and validation for those still on the sidelines to join the fight against fascism. #NoKings

goosebumps all day. this is the america i imagined when i first moved here. i see you, chicago 🫰🏼

another reason why i love chicago - cta was free till 11 am today due to “system upgrade” - no king protest starts around mid-day <3

thunderstorm in the morning, spring vibes by noon. the streets? only 3 kinds of people: in yellow, with no-king protest signs, halloween costumes, and apparently MIR today.. stay safe ✊🏼

it’s been over a month since I touched xanny, today might end that streak - all good though

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

lying is a skill, and the moment you start believing your own lies, you’ve hit a whole new level of stupidity.

hooked!! 10:/10

in 2013, we’ve had three prime ministers in australia - it’s amazing when the government actually works for the people, country, and not just themselves/ the riches.

i don’t care how hot you are, i will remove myself from your universe if you eat with your mouth open.

asked about the no king protest this weekend - 9 out of 10 people shrugged, “nah, most people will be there anyway.” right. the same genius math as, “he won’t get elected again, I’m only one vote.” 😓

only took me 16 years to finally binge “nurse jackie” - totally hooked, and honestly, we need people like this bunch now more than ever. dr. eleanor, please adopt me!

this place is gettin proper terrifying.

got the gym clothes on, looked at each other like ‘fuck this…’ A few minutes later, guilt made us settle it with rock-paper-scissors. gym day won.

tiny is growing - small wins 💪🏼

I get extra gay when golden (kpop) starts playing at the gym..

“remember how, 20 years ago, we paid for ringtones? fast forward to 2025, and my phone's been on silent for the last 8 years.”

when your non-foodie husband actually requests a dish for dinner - gołąbki! my heart is so happy 🥰 chef hat on, let’s go!

forever grateful that clean-shaven is no longer the standard 🙂‍↕️

apparently flexibility got left out of my genetic assignment

“pop the balloons, or find love” on netflix is my new brain-off sunday ritual

did a high school talent show reenacting “the first wives club” (i played the husband, lol) - first taste of drag/lip sync (thought i didn’t realize it until years later). the whole school cheered. and “you don’t own me” has been stuck in my head ever since. RIP Diane Keaton

i’ve always been kind of a lone wolf, so i never really had to come out or hide in the closet. and that’s something I’ve always been super grateful for

proud to say three of the countries I’ve called home are ranked in the top 15. and grateful to be in Chicago, especially at a time like this living in the U.S..

a cyber truck just let me cut-in, not sure how i feel about that..

let’s see what’s this about - kpop demon hunters

we saved a creeper 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏼‍♂️

here is an idea to all the app developers (@snapchatsupport.bsky.social) out there. how about develop something that removes face-mask just like you did for the beard/ hair?

2nd day pumping cake 💪🏼 with jazz! <3

canceled our amazon prime a year ago, never looked back

think me body thanked me a little today - 2nd day doing seated-forward-fold. basic i know, but I can’t touch my toes, there is that.. 😆 “it’s ok that you’re not flexible, but its not ok to not be flexible. ig: @samgach”

at 7 am on this day, the workout was complete 💪🏼 did any oomfies see the moon this am?! wowza!
