this is only anecdotal but whenever i see those posts i think of how the first stranger to show me kindness as a trans person was a palestinian man who worked the corner store near an old apt. he immediately changed his language when he saw me transition and it really touched me
whenever people talk about that "old bookstore smell" it's mold. ur breathing mold. there's mold in the ceiling and they're not doing anything about it. ur smelling mold

i never even asked he just suddenly went from calling me man, buddy, boss etc to saying things like "you are looking very pretty" "how are you today beautiful" it was so sweet i really hope he's doing okay
"actually it's the glue in the binding breaking down releasing the vanilla scentโ๏ธ๐ค" and where did you learn that a book? the same book trying to infect you with it's mold? uh huh yeah sure
"shoes off" is one of the dumbest social customs of all time. yeah sure let's all take our shoes on and off 20 times a day so we can keep up a charade that the floor is somehow clean. no thanks.
ok i didn't think this would gain this much traction so for good measure i want to reemphasize this is purely anecdotal, palestinians do not need to be allies to deserve freedom from occupation and to have their land back it is their intrinsic right
Korean fried chickenโฆ. I donโt get the love for this? The sauce is too spicy and garlicky. The breading is to thick. If youโre going to eat fried chicken a schnitzel is the go to option. Not this trash.
whenever i go into a korean grocery store and see that they have japanese miso or dragon fruit or ube ice cream i am like.. omg how many white people came in here and terrorized them for not having this ingredient before they gave up and had to start selling other asian staples
people are confused but yall need to know the DPRK has actively supported palestine since the 60s and they're also a victim of US imperialism. one day i hope yall finally understand the way israel lies about palestine is how the US lies about north korea. it's all connected
'sinophobia exists' 'it's for people in the west' 'non-asians don't know the difference' and you all think this boba graphic's going to help how exactly???
i used to do this when weed was still illegal i'd fill it halfway with weed and then smoke the tobacco after to mask the scent and it didn't work like at ALL
so much of my tl is just rage bait now... yesterday i went on a walk and watched the sky turn orange and heard the dogs bark and children laugh and i smiled like a prayer
Is there a single cuisine more overrated than Korean? Itโs 90% pickled and preserved peasant food and 10% grilled meat, which is the part everyone actually enjoys and associates with it.
ok to clear up some confusion:
it's called the handmaiden
sookhee's korean, hideko's japanese
i'm contextualizing sookhee's rage for hideko with her grief for her people who've been forced into sexual slavery by the japanese
i'm not comparing hideko to comfort women wtf ๐ญ
no one tells you being 28 is like being 23 except you have either a better outlook in life or worse back pain depending on how you spend the five years in between
thinking about the time i was listening to a wildlife biologist on a podcast and when he was asked what's the best thing we can do for conservation and he was like well... revolution!

I love this initiative to make onigiri more widely available! These were $2.89 at the 221 Sansome 7-Eleven (I think a promo deal?). We have a serious lack of affordable and healthy snack options in America, so this is big news for improved quality of life
it's so funny how you learn in high school holding in the smokes gets you higher only to find out later it makes no difference and you're just damaging your lungs
Quite honestly, the best way to change your life, is to isolate yourself and disappear for a while. Long enough for people to forget about you. So you can turn in to what you want to be, without everyone reminding you about who you used to be.

deleted cus in the end i don't want to do wrong by okinawans in general but i still stand on that it's disingenuous and harmful for EA to disregard their racism to SEA under the false pretense that we're "all the same" in the eyes of white supremacy don't get it twisted
you really have to learn how to be a little silly if you're a trans woman.. life will truly eat you alive if you're not a bit of a goofball it's kinda wild
why would i as a korean woman compare a fictional japanese woman's plight to the real systemic sexual violence korean women experienced en masse like cmon yall let's put our thinking caps on ๐ญ
