a foreign friend here in China had her phone stolen. literal nightmare scenario. EVERYTHING here is done on one's phone. I've been helping her with stuff for the past two days. this is somehow one of the most stressful things that's ever happened to me and it didn't even happen TO ME

got a big trip in 2 days. gotta pack, make sure I've got meds for 10 days, etc. gotta finish some work tasks. gotta take care of the perishables in the fridge. feeling like shit. scrolling too much. someone please pat me on the head and say hey little buddy you can do it

the best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.

Don't just drive past the premise, though, which is absurd. Any WNBA team is exclusively the top 0.01% athletes in the sport. Pretending that a high school team could hang with, much less beat, them is ridiculous.

something that's really cool is that when you spend many years honing your ability to appear functional when you're doing badly, it also makes it impossible for anyone to take you seriously when you say you're struggling

many people will never get diagnosed. maybe you don't have the resources. maybe what you struggle with is sth else, sth not medically recognized or diagnosable, maybe not sth that ever will be. you still deserve to feel good about yourself and to get whatever you need for a fulfilling life

I see people say that getting an ADHD diagnosis was great bc it relieved them of thinking they were just lazy and bad, and I love that for them, but: wouldn't it be great if we could all shed that shame, diagnosis or not?

Of the 30 players on the Taiwanese roster for WBC 2026, 18 are descendants of Indigenous Formosans. Paiwanese athlete Giljegiljaw Kungkuan notably dropped his Han Chinese name Chu Li-jen at the age of 24. He became the first MLB player from Taiwan to wear a jersey sporting his Indigenous name.

Paiwanese athlete Giljegiljaw Kungkuan (吉力吉撈・鞏冠) notably dropped his Han Chinese name Chu Li-jen (朱立人) at the age of 24 in favor of his ancestral surname, Kungkuan, and his forename that means “steadfast roof capable of withstanding wind and rain (遮風擋雨的屋簷).” He became the first MLB player from Taiwan to wear a jersey sporting his Indigenous name.

Chaperoning a preschool trip to the aquarium and one of the other dads who is vaguely familiar with what I do comes up to me and goes “man I sure hope we get some Nuremberg-style trials at the end of all this”
