How feral were Gen X kids?

Well, I taught my younger sister to jump off the second floor of the house to land in the couch below. I mean sure, just an inch off target and there's be a few broken bones. But hey we survived.

The couch didn't.

Ok, so I claim my feral badge, I think I totally earned it.

Any #cdrama fans watched wuxia ‘Heroes’ (2022)? Thoughts?

Viki is streaming it. Noticed it has my crush Liu Yu Ning AND Joseph Zeng in it. Plus Baron Chen as villain.

Director is same as the beautiful Farewell My Princess.

Based on a novel by Woon Swee Oan, the Hong Kong-based Malaysian Chinese poet and writer who also inspired series & film, The Four. The novel is about the nature of heroes.

Looks good but My Drama only gave it 7.9/10!

As a way to keep myself accountable and also learn Mandarin more effectively, I will be sharing how I'm trying to improve my Mandarin as a "heritage" speaker.

I am struggling to work today. My brain is all over the place. Still marking papers. I think it's because I'm cold, but I want fresh air - WHAT DO? #friday #work

Gave in and just ordered a standing desk with those fancy buttons where you can raise the thing. And I ordered a LONG table, just like how I like it. I like to scatter all my things when I work lol

Agile is a fancy way of saying "the semi-chaotic way we try to make truly chaotic people do stuff".

The channels I get my geopolitical insights and news from. Now you can decide whether to like or hate me or funnel me in the right political box 🤣

Jokes aside, I try my best to get perspectives from around the world. I used to have an African alt media channel I followed but lost it 😭

Squee! Just witnessed the sunbird parents teaching their little chick how to fly. So the three birds were flying here and there in my balcony. Only managed to capture a pic of the chick on the shelf. Isn't it cute and fluffy??

I hated the idea of #Dataview at first. I thought it was going to add complexity to my #Obsidian vault. This impression was worsened by the many Youtubers who were showing me their souped up Obsidian systems. Now I'm glad I took the trouble to learn - Dataview can resurface Notes that I've completely forgotten about and automatically list Notes I've made.

I like Dataview now, but I doubt I'll use it beyond ordering my vault from utter chaos to manageable mess. 😆

#Cdrama and #Kdrama Fans!

I need more recs for happy, found family, make-you-smile-and-warm-your-heart type of dramas. I don't mind murder and chaos as long as my people have a happy ending. Recent likes have been #BlossomsInAdversity, #StoryOfKunningPalace, I also liked #JoyOfLife & #MeetYourself.

Finished #BlossomsInAdversity. Loved it. Would have loved 15 more minutes of the ending and watching people react to the big reveals (hi! the random beggar your family took in is now emperor!), but very good all around. Very cathartic.

Ok #cdrama fans… Which series would you nominate for most beautiful cinematography?

For historicals: I nominate

The Longest Day in Chang’am,
Riyu’s Royal Love in the Palace,
The Story of Yanxi Palace and
Rise of Phoenixes

They were spectacular.

I was cancelled before the word even became a thing. It definitely changes you in a big way. For one, you realise the world is not black & white, and you see the irritational reactions of those who hold deep ideological beliefs when you decide to leave/change it. It's very much tribal. And you also get more empathatic to both sides of an ideology because you were once one of them. You also end up very allergic to triablism & tribal attitudes of all kind.
