I want to write SF that feels like watching Arrival felt tonight. I want to make people feel things like what I just felt. I want to think and dream in the ways this story made people do.

I found a clip from a previous season of Street Dance of China with #EXO's LAY dancing Krump.

I just love the attitude of a krump dancer. Like a big gorilla just DARING you to mess with it.

@JillsJoy @AnnaAnthro there's a battle later in the season, EP 7 I think, where LAY is really going all out krumping, and there's this little cluster of dancers, Yibo and teammates, studying his every move and kind of echoing some of his movements and it's so cute watching them all soaking it up. You can see the gears turning in their heads as they study him, they're competing against him but appreciating him so much.

Have you enjoyed some Chinese propaganda lately? I did.

I watched a Chinese legal drama called Draw the Line and I'd like to reassure you that I'm still not a member of the Communist Party of China.

Usually, these issues are for subscribers to my blog (it's a free subscription), but I'm setting it free for Mastadon folks for a week.

PS: Before you reply, could you read the article first? I'm anticipating reply guys lol

@liztai 🤝 from me, halfway through War of Faith right now, a few days behind the episodes airing on CCTV...8 I think, and thinking about what messages we're meant to get from it and what messages I do actually get. (And avoiding Weibo because I don't wanna get spoiled for tonight's latest twists.)

I find I don't want to watch anyone's modern day military/police shows right now, but I don't want to watch stuff that looks like my own suburban US white person life, either.

I mostly yell about Our Song 我们的歌 in DMs with Forest but let me hit you with some recent joys. This is a show where veteran pop singers have to match up with young pop singers, and season 1 has a lot of people I know and love from elsewhere. So let's share some joy!

@coreo@wandering.shop avatar

First we have the 红日 (Sun) and 野狼 Disco (Wild Wolf Disco) mashup Zhou Shen and Li Keqin did. The former is a Cantopop classic of Li's and the latter is a really funny dance hit. They had so much fun, because they're both amazing singers and goofballs.

Y'all, can you spread this far and wide and help my bud out? E has been so supportive to me as I healed from my trauma, and they need help right now with a string of financial bad luck. They're a disabled transgender person in Detroit, and care for their elderly Grama, and had a recent fender-bender that has made their car undrivable. It's devastating to a family who lives paycheck to paycheck
Please share, and donate if able. Thank you, friends! https://gofund.me/573df6bd

Edited the above to add hashtag. Further info on the vehicle damage is currently on https://www.tumblr.com/bankse13/741623911883653120/fix-a-disabled-michiganders-car-organized-by-e and will be put in the GFM in an update, I believe.

Please also enjoy E's sweet baby of a pup, in the picture. Ianto is awesome.

Dudes I am so indescribably happy that there will be another Jin Yong adaptation. If I am not mistaken, a series of dramas will be made based on Jin Yong's stories. The trailer looks magnificent and really reminds me of the wuxia dramas I used to watch. Oh please let this be good 🙏

@liztai I should watch some of the adaptations people my age grew up on, but oh, I am also very excited if this is my in, you know?

Also, I see Meng Ziyi. She was in the 2017 one, is this... that one? No, I guess she's in this one too if it's this: https://mydramalist.com/739239-jin-yong-wu-xia-shi-jie

Okay wait, but I DO have a question: some of y'all probably have opinions on what instance I should set up on under my librarianship name to start soliciting consulting work. My core competencies are research data librarianship, research computing support and general STEM research support, and I have 20 years of background in science and data librarianship and in instructional technology. Which home would you suggest?

Yesterday, randomly came across a where someone needed a super rare blood type. Super tickled that they had to fly over the blood from to save that person.

Eh dei, as far as I know there is only a number of blood types and unless we have mutant nasi lemak blood pretty sure you can find that rare blood type from among the billions of people in 😂

Malaysians are so mysterious people think we have magic blood lol.

@coreo@wandering.shop avatar

@liztai @UkMudeok I mean this can be true and you can ALSO feel Malaysia is depicted as magical, that's absolutely okay.

Also this mutation is so nifty!

I have chronic nightmares of elevators moving in strange ways or being in very shaky high rise buildings or dropping suddenly or stopping between floors and now that I know what a paternoster is I have new nightmare fuel thanks SO MUCH

I find it absolutely wild that film studios like Heng Dian exist - there are literal replicas of historical buildings such as the Forbidden City, the Bund and Tang Dynasty towns.

That said, I probably wouldn't want to visit it lest I ruin the fantasy I have when watching

@liztai at this point I recognize so many locations there that I am ready to have that illusion shattered the rest of the way. The one long alley with the tall stone walls around it! The really pretty somewhat Japanese styled house set into the hillside with the beautiful deck on the front! The city or village street that is terraced stairs and flat spaces on a slope with room for vendor stalls.

@liztai aaaand I see @villainousfriend has already been by and said similar. We are those nerds you've been warned about.

@villainousfriend @liztai right? Group travel can be such a joy.

At this point I have a southern China itinerary and a northern China itinerary because I've got to split it up somehow and I particularly want to take trains between some cities. I wish I could go with our friend Forest since we would spend so much time in Hangzhou and Luoyang, because we are nerds.

    Hey! Do you have ideas for drawing prompts? Especially for SciArt?

    Reply with a single word prompt, and if we get enough, I'll work on making a prompt list tonight and post it for tomorrow.

    I was honest today with my PCP that I'm still unable to work and want a number of mental health related referrals. She said she supports and will refer me to whomever I pick for all of them based on insurance and people taking new clients.

    I have two siblings with ADHD. I have sensory sensitivities. My exec function is shot. I have so many Autistic and ADHD and AuDHD friends I admire and yet it was STILL hard to admit I want neuropsych evaluation.

    She told me, you waited so long? You could have asked me any time. I said, I know, I was going to after my last physical and then I broke my arm days later.

    It's like that sometimes.

    coreo,
    @coreo@wandering.shop avatar

    She pointed out that what I am going through could be any combination of trauma, attention, Autism, other sensory conditions, and also that perimenopause could be contributing. Her encouragement really helped, and I felt physically lighter for a while after the appointment.

    I could visualize a way through whatever this is, somewhat better.

    Doesn't make the grief and anger about the trauma go away but it does lighten it.

    I think it's funny and also sort of cool that my brain is spitting out poems every so often, because I'm not really thinking of it as writing and not really focusing on whether or not I have been writing, and yet clearly I am writing.

    It's an interesting way in which I'm being creative, and doing things that will develop skill, without looking directly at it As A Practice and having either demand refusal or perfectionism about it.

    Everyone I have talked to today is horrified that the CDC might only recommend the next COVID-19 booster for elderly and immunocompromised people, after we have been told for years to expect it to become like the seasonal flu shot, while we are waiting for better boosters, while cases are spiking and the long COVID research is damning. Please. Ask them to approve it for everyone. We have until Friday to comment. Pls boost. https://www.regulations.gov/document/CDC-2023-0060-0001

    @coreo@wandering.shop avatar

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/your-fall-guide-to-covid-rsv-and-flu-vaccines this article mentioned in passing: "The general public should not expect to need to receive the latest COVID booster, Offit said." This was a terrible shock to me and I keep talking to people and they ask why? Why isn't it like the flu shot? What about people on drugs like Humira? What about the risks of reinfection and what about long COVID?

    For reasons, I have confused Arches NP with Bryce Canyon NP enough times this summer that we're contemplating making "Bryce Canyon: It's Not Arches" items.

    Friends, you deserve technological autonomy. Partners often divide up the technological work for their household. However, if your partner hogs a shared device or one that is yours, while making excuses as to why they can't or won't have their own, or insists you expose your data to the internet for their privacy, it's not okay. If you're comfortable that's fine. If you need to say no and that such a situation needs to change, it's your right.

    I am watching a guy in Australia tearing down salvaged things like spa pumps and an industrial pumping apparatus to melt down and reclaim aluminum and copper and brass. He's so meticulous about reclaiming the bits and I'm in heaven identifying electronic components and guessing why they're there. He just pulled 2 350v rated 1500uF capacitors, each beer can sized, out of a pump controller (apparently?) and I'm studying them like I've just seen a new Pokemon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Mp9NRdCvw
