Writer. Pls buy - or borrow from the library - my book Chinese And Any Other Asian. Or preorder the paperback, it’s cheaper! Thanks 😘

Am very tired and in transit in Singapore after a lovely trip - for work, but also fun - to Bali. And a Balinese astrologer told me to manifest, but out in the world a core desire. And honestly, all I can think is: is it possible for me to fancy someone who is emotionally available?

There is such an obsession with eating protein… I looked up what I should eat (a short, but well rounded woman in 40s). It’s like - 2 eggs, a pot of yogurt, and a flat white. And maybe throwing in a bit of cheese.

The Great Mughals: Art, Architecture and Opulence - fantastic!!! Ends in a couple of days, and is very crowded. But such beautiful art. Have drunk the kool aid, want to be ruled by emperors… who invest in diverse art, from divers backgrounds.

🎧 Catching up on the new series of the Lecker #podcast: To Be Delicious, hosted and produced by @annasulan.bsky.social and co-produced by Lucy Dearlove. I love the mix of research, interviews, and the gorgeous soundscapes that are unique to Lecker. Highly recommended!

Whenever people in tv show or films are up in the middle of the night because they can’t sleep… it doesn’t ring true. What do you mean you aren’t just lying in bed in panic, stewing about how you need to sleep, like a normal person?!

Today I go into the studio and record the audio version of my book! I spent the weekend in Berlin and didn’t lose my voice! Of course I’ve had the worst night sleep back in my own bed. Ffs.

All of this, and my 2cents - social media has also been a place for me to find people who write etc on things I’m interested in, who I didn’t (couldn’t!) find through mainstream media - those of marginalised backgrounds eg. So not echo chamber, but like a library build for my tastes.

Since the discussion about whether we should listen to politicians and pundits we don’t agree with seems to be happening again, I cannot emphasise enough how I’m not here for a bracing ideological workout. If I want to challenge my own ideas, I read serious journalism or books.

This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time. So excited to have a human of his own. Thinking about what he's going to call you. Maybe Bob. 12/10

a tiny brown and tan puppy with a yellow collar is laying with his paws tucked in on a green blanket. he is in a crate & looks at you deeply with his nose between the bars.

Apparently my top genre is Outlaw Country, yep there definitely was a lot of Black Sabbath (the top two was sad cowboy music, too embarrassed to share) and this is where I should live. I’m a middle-aged white dad, trapped in a small Asian woman’s body. Ffs.
