Vivian Maier, Minnesota, June 1967

今日のランチはこれを食べるつもりです。

if you happen to be 1) interested in Korea; 2) interested in the environmental humanities; and 3) in SoCal in early June, please consider coming to a conference I've organized with my dear colleagues Eleana Kim, Albert Park, and Juwon Lee. Details 👇

It’s not just me - there’s science behind this!

Found all my skinny jeans in storage today! Why did we think peeling our jeans off was normal?!?

It’s shocking how much better the Japanese version of Nevertheless was - from the same source material as the kdrama? All the themes were more thoroughly explored with less!

Evidently my taste in men has not changed since the 90s. #TuxedoMask #PerfectCrown

To think how insanely popular BWS got after Lovely Runner aired last year..and what will happen now that Perfect Crown is getting such 📈 viewership...and next up is Solo Leveling?! If they're able to nail that live-action adaptation...he's untouchable. 🤞no scandal 🤞no scandal 🤞no scandal 🤞

Just me or does BWS and Win Metawin look related from certain angles?

Sometimes part of being old is just watching a Chinese documentary on green energy for...fun. #ZhangLingHe

I haven't been practicing my Japanese and I'm going back to visit - 🥶 - quick what jdrama show can I watch to jump start my brain before I アニョハセヨ or no lo se someone in public?!

Me out here collecting PM Min after everyone threw him off the train. #PerfectCrown

look I don't mean to be a bitch, but why are we getting male shower scenes in every kdrama now? It's a little trite.

So I haven't watched kdramas in a year, and now I have a new episode of #PerfectCrown today and tomorrow, an episode of #MyRoyalNemesis today and tomorrow, and episodes of #FilingforLove tomorrow and Sunday? feast or famine!

I’m ready.

wow this is the worst time to start & catch up on #FilingForLove. What a cliffhanger on episode 4, whew!

The hints are there my friends #PerfectCrown

I'm sure there is some cosmic reasoning behind me being a Gemini surrounded by Taurus and Gemini family and friends, but right now it's really damaging my bank account.

Devil Wears Prada 2 is just a Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Bezos diss track.

#PerfectCrown (2026) – dir. park joon hwa

The daily struggle as apex predator of global beauty standards. #PerfectCrown

I feel like someone is going to come and check up on me when they realize all the PM Min screenshots on my devices. Am I....like Katy Perry? #PerfectCrown

How busy am I? Haven’t watched the #PerfectCrown eps from last week yet.

She finally got her wedding. The people in the kdrama Reddit community are trying to 🔪🔪 me 😭😭 I’d throw Yi An off Namsan if she got a chance with 4th Prince again. He can just time travel into 2026 and steal her away.

This hurts my brain.

PM Min all day

unfortunately we have to hand this one to King Charles

Is this...the ultimate pairing?!

oooo what a compelling poster!

In case you're wondering, my recipe for a Good Bluesky Experience here at the three year mark: 1. Decide not to be a dick 2. "Don't engage, just block" for trolls/bots/chuds 3. Mute stressful nouns 4. Follow super cool people of all sorts 5. Choose to have fun over "engagement" 6. Pictures of cats!

I was in the middle of an event when the news leaked of the attempted shooting at the WH. Nobody there cared, not even a bit. This is neither noteworthy or interesting. We go on with our lives. That is our American coping: focus on the local community, ignore the news.

cdrama gripe: The size of these apartments! Ain't nobody got the money for that sq footage, what are you trying to sell us?

I am such a sucker for the pickled jalapeños and pineapple combo flavor. #PerfectCrown #perfectpizza

The blue and pink are subtle hints at who plays which traditional gender role. #PerfectCrown

If there is anything I'm an expert on, it's this damn ring. #PerfectCrown

Turns out that working 12-14 hour days all week doesn't lead me to my best drama-watching critiques, who knew?!

#PrincessHours (2006) – dir. hwang in roe and kim do hyung

8.5/10 for #PerfectCrown episode 5. Good, but very plot driven. PM Min is central, and I’m starting to fret that he’s the villain who wants the grand prince on the throne and sees her as a distraction. He’s too hot to be good, and they’re trying to ugly him with the hair/glasses (unsuccessfully)

When your Dutch friend says something a little racist…

The most recent meme in your photo roll describes your mental state.

This is Olympic-level PR for #PerfectCrown, good lawd. Hey slow it down I don’t need 8 articles and interviews from every news source or YouTube channel every day!

💯 iykyk (Although for cultural relevance alone BoF should be ranked higher. The fA$huN!)

I'm still in my cdrama era, but must confess that the two-episodes-a-week kdrama style really works well with the back breaking capitalist hellscape I'm living in.

Fujii Kaze and Big Bang world tours? 💸💸💸 Poverty is imminent

*car crash sounds*

Who committed this wig crime? I demand answers

I'm in a season of high stress in my life, which means I'll be buying every f*#&ing cute small thing that Japan has for sale.

Airing of the grievances: 1. When you find out about a cool art exhibit that was in the city you were visiting only AFTER you left. 2. When you travel to a cool town full of museums that are all turning over their exhibits the week you're there. 😡

The gusto at which the wardrobe dept. went at this kdrama is unmatched. #PrincessHours #Goong
