DAMN that’s impressive! 94% is nuts—I clicked over and stared at the blank song spots and mentally panicked. But Yoongi told me I didn’t have to be good at tests/grades… 😭 …so, I’m spared the pressure.

#Cdrama round up: Finished #SniperButterfly (age gap older woman x younger man), then started #SpeedAndLove (which is a squeal-fest of hotness), tried to circle back to finish #RomanceOfTheTigerAndRose but I can’t seem to advance. Detoured to #YouthfulGlory because #SongWeiLong is super handsome.

I finished #Cdrama #SniperButterfly & it was cute or whatever. I mean, a timely noona/JieJie romance right as articles are breaking abt eggs not having an expiration date while men’s sperm has worse & worse mutated DNA as they age. Would I date a younger man? Prob not. I’m not into humiliation TBH.

“‘My most daring idea is to refuse,’ she said to applause.”

Trans rights are human rights, in the most profound and fundamental way.

who are these lesbians

One day instead of “I’m still here” and “proof of life” selfies, I might post something good, something I accomplished, something interesting. But that day is not today. Here I am, tired and without any glamor:

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

Posting this again because I've been getting questions: at this moment there is no licensed merch for Murderbot or Sanctuary Moon except what is on Worldbuilders Market worldbuildersmarket.com/collections/... where it's sold for charity fundraising. And they are getting a new t-shirt design soon.

#Cdrama #PerfectMatch is so good. I had to take a lot of breaks because I get neurodivergently upset at people making mistakes & having misunderstandings & those tropes happened a lot during the 36 ep. run, BUT it was an amazing ensemble plot. Each sibling got to shine & find their perfect match. ❤️

Friends, my birth certificate is wrong and not in the way that I’m trans nonbinary and want my gender to be amended, but wrong in the way that somebody did data entry wrong when I was born and we had to send the birth certificate away to the government and have them “fix” it for a fee—and what they…

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Awards eligibility post! I'm lucky to have 8 stories and 18 poems published in 2025, so here are just a few that I'd be delighted if you found time to read! I'll also link them below when I get the chance

You could get all seven seasons of Legends of Tomorrow on Blu-ray for $60 (or $51 with coupon if this is your first order from Gruv, Warner's online store!) The first season is a bit rough but if you make it through there is a wild, fun, and very queer ensemble superhero adventure awaiting you!

When a group of blue state attorney's general submitted a strident defense of trans healthcare to Trump's FTC, no one in the media covered it. No one, that is, except for @valorievandieman.bsky.social of Assigned Media, in one of our most read stories of 2025.

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc. F*ck It, Let's Make a Website Part 1 is now live ✨ Go here to read: bit.ly/filmawPartOne More info below 👇

My Favorite #Costume #Cdramas (no order): 1. Blossom 2. Prisoner of Beauty 2a. A Dream Within A Dream* 3. Coroner’s Diary 4. The Double 5. Fated Hearts 6. Love in the Clouds *aDwiaD was very fun, but I watched it bc of show hangover from PoB. Pacing/plot issues ➡️ honorable mention.

Finished watching the #Cdrama #EverlastingLonging, and it was good. It was high medium good, like…decent. I wish the writing was a little tighter, a little more inspired, but I did make it to the end without wanting to quit too intensely. (I often have strong urges to quit watching things.)

Listen I flew too close to the sun, binging C-dramas. Now I’m not sure I can watch anything else. The neurodivergent hyperfixation is hyperfixing, that’s for damned sure

#writingcommunity Carina Press/Harlequin dropped the ball for the release of the #HeatedRivalry TV series. No new print run ready to go, no new covers to tie into the TV series. The remaining paperbacks sold out online and fans are desperate. They also never released all 6 books as paperback. 🫠

i never get tired of saying japan has the best PR of any country on earth bc i don't know how you can go from nanjing massacre and comfort women to being widely perceived in the west as the extra cute uwu cherry blossom anime country ✌️🌸

it finally happened -- a good student of mine vanished from class about six weeks ago. this student reappeared today and explained that they had been in ICE detention in another state during that time. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end.

What harm can having the wrong information on your documents actually do? @veraeikon.bsky.social takes a look a 2022 study that investigated just that in this month's Journal Club.

Just a reminder that several Stranger Things cast members are rabid, unrepentant Zionists, but also that the plot and writing for the show has been declining steadily—so is it really worth compromising your morals to watch it? I don’t like being pissed off when I watch stuff, so it’s a NOPE for me.

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

I WOKE UP, ATE LEFTOVER TURKEY AND TOOK A NAP, ATE LEFTOVER TURKEY FOR LUNCH, TOOK AN INVOLUNTARY NAP, ATE TURKEY AGAIN AND NOW I’M LAYING DOWN ON THE COUCH ABOUT TO—YOU GUESSED IT—TAKE A NAP! The wonders of Tryptophan!

BY THE WAY, if you keep reptiles, live snakes, are a herpatologist and like #BL #Cdramas, my condolences on #RevengedLove. I am SO sorry. If they’d replaced the snakes with dogs, dog breeding, dog fighting for all those plot points, it would have made so much more sense. I actually have no idea why…

Dogpile. Every time. I’m doing a leaping elbow drop—any time anyone critiques that whiny mess of a man. Simu Liu is exactly the kind of person who would find this post from me, a nothing account, and crawl into the replies, too—like don’t you have a publicist team to slap your phone out your hand?

Convinced my personal trainer to let me try boxing 🥊 (but he doesn’t know that my body is built for combat sports, regardless of my experience with XYZ in particular), and he was like, “You’ve boxed before, right?” And I was like, “Nope! A college friend gave me one lesson before—that’s it.” 10/10 …

When u saw a TikTok edit about two red flag leads in a historical costume #Cdrama, I was like, SOLD. Let me neglect the C-trauma ending of #TillTheEndOfTheMoon and start #TheStoryOfKunningPalace

So glad acupuncture continues to help people! But also wanna say that acupuncture didn’t come out of nowhere—It represents thousands of years of scientific trial & error that predates Western “scientific method”—It’s canon Chinese culture for royalty to unalive doctors if they were ineffective… 😭

I did it. I watched #DesireTheSeries aka #ABOdesire. I saw suppressants, heats, ruts & mpreg in LIVE ACTION?! I’m the first in my line to witness this. And you know what? It wasn’t even the most basic omegaverse plotline either?! Like it’s an advanced trope combo…!? #BL #Cdrama #Omegaverse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🐺

This story is nuts. "ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Marjorie Taylor Green is a terrible person, so don’t believe anything she says including apologies. I’m not here to talk about her—I’m here to announce that I read “MTG” as “Magic the Gathering,” & it made my brain confused while reading people’s thoughts about That Woman. Lmao I’m such a dork wtf

I finished #Cdrama #MyJourneyToYou, and I’m just perplexed at the ending. I’m not going to spoil it, I’m just like… *insert meme pic of strange animal with white fur sitting and holding it’s little paw hands out, like WTF*

An accident is when I stub my toe. We didn't "accidentally" invade Mexico. We acted willfully and with reckless disregard for the border we claim to care so much about

#TeamMongolia and their thick thighs are giving me everything I need on television right now. Just when you think they’re done, they show us they’ve got a bit more gas in the tank. Let’s go Mongolia!!! 🇲🇳 #PhysicalAsia #Netflix

#Cdrama discussion: I’m scared to finish #TillTheEndOfTheMoon, so I picked back up w/ #JourneyToLove (which I’m ALSO scared to watch til the end because I feel like the ending isn’t gonna be happy. 😭) But I did finish #LoveLikeTheGalaxy. So many good characters & relationship dynamics!

"As an unprecedented immigration crackdown enters a third month, a growing number of Chicago residents are fighting back against what they deem a racist and aggressive overreach of the federal government." apnews.com/article/chic...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Decision to swap out male director for female director one month into filming “Love in the Clouds” turned out to be brilliant:

alice wong treated me as an equal from the moment she met me. i was a teenager with very little experience in the way of organizing; she was already a titan in this community. it didn't matter. she believed above all else that everyone, no matter how small, deserved to be treated as a future elder.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

I’m incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Alice Wong, who was a bright light and a clear voice for so many of us. May her memory live on in those she loved who loved her in return, and may we all continue to elevate her work in intersectional disability justice.

I finished #Cdrama #LoveLikeTheGalaxy, and I don’t know what to do with myself. It was so well written, and so good. I need more time to think about the ending, because I wanted scenes of the wedding and then domestic married life and kids (just because I wanted to see them be happy together)

Found this litrpg xianxia novel by @jolantru.bsky.social based on the Chinese zodiac. Awesome!! Definitely going on the TBR list. #books

Gather around, children, and let me tell you of the old days, when the internet was new and you couldn’t take phone calls at your house because the computer was using the phone line when it was on the internet. And any of y’all who also remember this, how’s your back?! My lower back is SEVERELY F’D!

Fortunately, I already figured out the plots of the next several Toy Story films

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
