I try not to ask for help on short notice but mom needs to get something done at the hospital but I can’t afford the transport costs to and from the hospital for her. Please help? ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

“Considering that Christianity is a patriarchal death cult obsessed with power, maybe white men’s obsession with Rome is due to the Roman hand in the torture and execution of the so-called son of god.” Just idle thoughts I have while getting dressed for the morning, along with “OMG Mark left NCT!”

Today is a good day to bring back this entry of #ZhangLinghe as Lord Wu'an in #cdrama #PursuitOfJade Thanks xi_cancri7💕

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answer only

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

If you are triggered by gendered violence, SA, misogyny, repeated unending burdens on places on women, have I got a show for you to avoid! #Cdrama #FlourishedPeony which continues in season 2 called #InTheNameOfBlossom is like being hit in the face with a misogyny stick over & over again. OUCH.

My sister’s friend has been fighting cancer for years and now he needs funds for emergency medical help. Please #SignalBoost and share! Donate if you can! gofund.me/f32cd7639

*deep, disappointed sigh* “IT’S NOT A B*MB”…? On an army green duffle? While the U.S. and Isr*el are bombing countries, killing people? Partnering with a Isr*eli company? On top of the the HBCU thing on top of the misappropriated AAVE… Even having stepped away for a while now, this is painful.

So, you want to watch a good historical #cdrama made out of the same crack as #PursuitOfJade. I got you covered. Opening thread with links! #Blossom

I am still looking for 🇲🇲 Burmese sensitivity reader or cultural consultant for a short story! Will provide payment or trade feedback if interested! ~~~an American born writer whose (ethnically Chinese) family was from Burma (before it was called Myanmar)

“Revolutions Are Built on Hope. That's Why I Believe Myanmar's Protesters Will Succeed” I wrote these words just after the military coup in Myanmar that took place exactly five years ago and I still believe those words today (🧵) time.com/5953413/myan... #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

***“I’ll LEAVE all of it to fate and hone my craft in joy instead.” Fucking typo’s in my philosophical ranting, goddamn it

HISTORY WILL JUDGE ME—No it won’t. I am a speck of recycled stardust amongst millions in a vast universe. The only way I’ll be remembered is as part of a collective: Children of Immigrants, Asian Americans, gender minorities, etc. Unlikely my name will be spoken after 2 generations. And that’s fine.

"All authors are using AI now" Not true! A lot of us are using epigenetic level trauma and channeling ancestral rage!

I’m on episode 23 of #FlourishedPeony, having already seen #GoGoSquid years ago. It’s like if the characters from FP were reincarnated, promised to meet & love again, but Mudan wanted—

Starting today, new SNAP restrictions in Texas prevent purchase of candy bars, gum, sweetened drinks, and nuts, raisins, or fruits coated in chocolate/yogurt/caramel. Imagine using your political power to prevent a parent on low-income from buying a candy bar for their child.

Just had my “Seed to Start” writing class, round 2 start. Now I’m very glad I stood up for myself & Dave left because I now have a Black classmate who just started R2 with us & she will never have to deal with him because I wouldn’t tolerate his behavior without seeking an acceptable resolution.

It’s trans day of visibility!! Please help a black trans woman stay afloat while she’s hunting for a job!

I have to do my taxesss UGHHHH… Someone come hold me at the point of a sword and make me do this.

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

Let me guess, casually slapping your fupa like it’s a horse’s flank and saying “You need to control your weight” while you’re splayed out, full Winnie-the-Pooh is probably not good practice for an OBGYN…

Writers, especially of novels, are paid very little, especially compared to the amount of work that goes into them.

I’ve been influenced to make a writer’s #CyberDeck. I have 60% mechanical keyboard I want to use & I’ve ordered my #RaspberryPi. I’m considering incorporating #Meshtastic, but I’m already intimidated because of how non-techie I am. I can’t solder. How will I mount the hardware? …industrial Velcro? 😟

Super early 2000’s Chicago local garage band scene: The Dog And Everything, Okay Go, Plain White T’s…Who else did I see? This was almost 30 years ago?! I’m flabbergasted right now. LINEAR TEMPORAL EXISTENCE?!

Yaaaay, The Rose! 🌹

I’m talking about a steamy little clip that was edited out of the show BTW. #PursuitOfJade #Cdrama

Plain White T’s — in the local Chicago garage band days before “Hey There Delilah”—OH MY GOD, the album I bought from them on self printed CDs “Come On Over” after their show was released in 2000, which is now 26 YEARS AGO WTF?! 🤯

WE WERE ROBBED. GIVE US THE SMUT, I DEMAND IT. #Cdrama #PursuitOfJade #Changyu #XieZheng … “Is the medicine still working? / Is the drug still affecting you?” … “I can’t stand it anymore. / I can’t do it anymore.” … “I have to sleep for a while. / I need to sleep.”

me, every single moment of every single day: hello. you’ve met me at a very chinese time in my life

😭 I have wondered if it’s selective traits that I have semi-eidetic memory and never needed to study a day in my life. Listen to a lecture once, read a textbook once…I’m golden. I was built for test taking. Text anxiety is afraid of ME. The ‘tism? Or just Chinese? (…Both?)

I just write on here & don’t pay attention to word count until I run headfirst into the limit. Then I go back, get rid of [and] & [, and] &* replace them w/ *ampersands! Anyone else doing this? Also change [one] to numeral 1 to save characters. All that editing b4 posting & I’ll still have a typo.

I guess this is a #PursuitOfJade fan account now. Only two more episodes to go & I’m being so good and not watching the leaked versions. & also not upgrading to VIP to rush it along. Please tell me I have good discipline & self control & budgeting. ( #ZhangLinghe & his slut strands are calling me)

Got an email from the district inclusion person and we set up a time to talk on the phone. We had a long conversation about what the plan was, and the teacher and the district lady planned on talking to Dave about his inappropriate behaviors. At this point because we both prepaid for the second—

My friend is in need of around $80 right now for food and transportation. Can anyone pitch in? Thank you so much! #Boost #SignalBoost #MutualAid

this show just really is like TRA LA LA LA LA FAIRIES AND CUTE ANIMALS *sexual violence* DAISIES DAFFODILS SINGING CHILDREN *femicide* FALLING SNOW BIRDSONG FIREWORKS *mass murder* ROSY CHEEKS LOVE DUETS SPARKLE FILTERS *domestic abuse*

When you're sexy but you're also a symbol of the cosmic balance between all spiritual energy in the universe

The only thing that I want to learn during a sexual harassment prevention training workshop is how many abusers have been fired by the org. If they don’t fire people, then they’re not serious.

“Note from the #author: I can’t believe no one has killed this man yet, and I’m the one who made him up! He might be worse than the COO from #TrainToBusan in terms of hateability!” Words I just typed into my #QuickDraft. #WIP

Assata Shakur on white liberals:

Oh the Gua Sha scene… Uhhh yeah…I was watching that so intently for the Chinese medicine information…right, riiight #Cdrama #PursuitOfJade Unrelated gif of #XieZheng also for educational purposes:

#WIP I started writing a grimdark #wuxia fantasy story w/a huge cast, complex backstories for everyone, bloody battles, betrayals, family & inheritance intrigue & more. I’m doing a quick draft, so I’m just writing as fast as i can, whatever comes to mind. I’ll sort it out later. #WeeknightWriters
