Menelaus, to Paris: I TAKESIE-BACKSIES Achilles, to Agamemnon: NO TAKESIE-BACKSIES The Fates, to Achilles: NO TAKESIE-BACKSIES

I am now de facto my dad's ADHD coach. "I'll leave your passport in the curio cabinet next to the dining table until we go to the travel agent." NO. Keep it with your phone. "Remind me to buy —" NO. I'll text you right now so you have the notification.

"Romance novels are like reality TV dating shows, show poor taste" SHUT UP Romance is such a broad category. Formulaic romance exists. So does romance w/ great: 🤍 Sociopolitical commentary 🤍 History lessons that don't hold back 🤍 Psychology, character development 🤍 Hard conversations done well

Why is humaning like this? Like yes, technically I could make do with so much less and just... Not care about resource acquisition But ancient humaning was jump-scare horror and contemporary humaning under capitalism is psychological horror

O I C I C THEY DID BUMI DIRTY BUMI WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THE ORIGINAL

Yeah, yeah, the original was better, etc., etc. But remember: this is an Asian and Buddhist man separated from his homeland and out of the loop with media He's SO HAPPY to see this Eastern-themed fantasy old war epic in Vietnamese dub (I don't think the live action is bad. It's just not AS good.)

WOW I was away from Twitter/X for so long that I've had to update my age by not one, but two years. I might just have my bios say 1994 instead of my age bc there's no way I'm keeping track of all the different social platforms.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (especially the live action version) is MAKING MY DAD SO HAPPY He's so invested in the story! He's impressed by how well it's written! The Eastern concepts are smoothly integrated! The Asian and indigenous cast were well-chosen! He even asked "What country made this?"

Today, I learned that about half of Americans can't name a single famous Asian-American. (Jackie Chan doesn't count — he's not Asian-American.) www.taaf.org/our-work/sta... Stats according to a US survey of thousands of adults through the University of Chicago and Savanta Research

I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE who finds neo-Freudianism reductive??? The "you're attracted to men because they have characteristics of your father" is a weird-ass take when I AM A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK SO OF COURSE I LIKE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND ME???

Tbh my social anxiety about visiting extended family in Vietnam is making me understand viscerally why Xanax was available practically OTC over there (though that changed this year)

🍵 Someone resolving conflict with you because they care about your well-being is different from someone keeping you around because it benefits them ego-wise Being available to you is the bare minimum. Being available because they want to control you can suck more than being intermittently available

Mom's assimilation level: She asked her sister in Vietnam over the phone if they did anything for the July 4th holiday over there. I explained to both of them that it's specifically the USA's birthday

Everything you don't like is slop and everything sexy you don't like is for gooners and I don't know how to tell you the level of irony poisoning in your soul is going to be the end of joy in your life Like bad things, like B movies, like short games a trans woman made between jobs Find love

My mom deep-fried some bananas and I had a piece with vanilla yogurt not realizing it would give unintentional Toaster Strudel vibes My pancreas is very happy with this low glycemic load

My least favorite thing about reviewing sex toys: Editing links. OMG. When an affiliate switches referral tracking software and stops stocking product, that's several hundred links to edit Second least favorite: finding and setting up compatible charging cords for comparisons of many products

Omg one of my aunties commented on my thighs and started rubbing and smacking in fascination and my other aunt was like OI SIS YOU HAVE TO PAY TO TOUCH HER LEGS

I almost asked, "Do men get turned on by women's exertion faces in the gym the way women notice men's grunts and exertion sounds?" But then I realized that was a silly little question People generally do sometimes get turned on by hot people's faces...

Today I learned that all of English Wikipedia with images is well under 1 terabyte

I AM HORRIFIED to learn that half of Asian-Americans with type 2 diabetes are undiagnosed, bc of: Different fat storage — it takes less fat to affect health negatively Standard bloodwork not accounting for dangerous blood sugar SPIKES (e.g. A1C measures AVERAGE blood sugar over recent months)

I can't be the only one who thinks "Media and the porn industry show only one kind of vulva: hairless, smooth, [harsher word for young]-looking" IS A BAD TAKE??? Many kinds of labia are shown in adult content??? "Outtie" labia minora still vary in size??? Porn now isn't what porn was 20 years ago

I just saw some comments saying, "Sex makes women age horribly," and "[Petite women] just can't take the dickings a bigger framed girl can." I had to laugh. This has been my reminder that the internet is full of headass takes.

I told myself I would take a break from responsibilities ...then I walked into more responsibility filling an egg donor application

Today I learned that some people use AI resources abundantly to make videos and comics of anthropomorphized interracial fruit cuckolding each other Maybe me continuing to use em-dashes because that was how I have always typed as a human is, you know, fine in the grand scheme...

Hot take: "women weren't meant to work 40 hours a week" doesn't have to be a gender thing. Some industries need less cognitively intense work. 4 hours of concentrated mental work a day is decidedly different from 8 hours of assembly line labor to reduce injuries and deaths for factory workers

I deadass think Project Hail Mary (both the movie and audiobook) have fixed my brain a little

My aunt complimented my skin, comparing it to the smoothness and shine of a boiled egg white 💀🤍

Expectation of dating an ADHDer: OMG she's so funny! Smart! Never know what oddly specific topic she's going to teach you about! Fun! Reality of dating an ADHD woman: Why is she researching the square-cube law and diastasis recti at 4am? A Reddit pile-on feels like a village exile to her amygdala

The whole "Your years in high school will be the best of your life when you look back" sounded like such a load of BS But I get the sentiment, and I think it's more like, "You'll look back and see how much the good parts matter to who you'll become"

I just now vented to a peer support warmline operator, who asked if I was in law school or a public speaker. (No, but I'll take the compliment.) In case you were wondering how I was doing. I love hearing positives reflected to me in dark places. 🫠
