Politically Correct Summary of #Hyena:
Cutthroat lawyer blurs the lines of law and ethics while falling in love with her opponent. Despite her bad wig, she gets co-opted by the man for her shenanigans, but something is amiss. It’s hard out here for a lady pimp lawyer. #kdrama

@TheKpopProf I just heard you on NPR! Well done! I happened to record it when I heard they were talking about BTS. Lmk if you want a copy!

[ABC News @ABC]

“The members of BTS are currently moving forward with plans to fulfill their military service." https://t.co/xYPRhO6NRf

@TheKpopProf It often felt a little stereotypical, but I’m not Korean and not going to tell people how they feel about their peoplehood.

This might help someone.

Girls didn’t ignore you because you were a nerd

We ignored you because every time we tried to talk about how we also loved nerd shit you gave us a pop quiz

Hi everyone!
@Twitter has decided not to reinstate my original @chinyereosuji account. As a result, I’m signing off of this platform. You can find me on Insta at @drchifromdachi and on Tik Tok at @chinyere123. I’m also still on Facebook, believe it or not! Sayonara suckasss!

@festerfaster Meanwhile people have to wear bandages like burn victims.

Hollywood too often still ignores critiques of wealthy elites and inequality. Nollywood shows have these same issues.

Kdramas give me a critique of inequality I’ve needed for a while.

[Dr Chi’s Kdrama Life @KdramaUsa]

Thinking a lot and occasionally writing about what Kdramas tell us about South Korean society, how Black viewers and viewers of color understand these shows and Korean society, and what it means to be human.

[Dr Chi’s Kdrama Life @KdramaUsa]

Kdramas have given me everyday discussion (and increasingly critiques) of capitalism, classism, and globalization. Squid Games is just the most popular one to do so. I’ve written about it here. https://t.co/sM52hvTC0n

@festerfaster I also notice when actors have random holes in their ears. I only realized recently that it’s because of their piercings.

[Dr Chi’s Kdrama Life @KdramaUsa]

@festerfaster Isn’t it sad? It would be a heavy lift to change those laws. I hope tattoo parlors can organize to gain legitimacy by the State when so many in the society already use their services.

@jost_george @DrKatEpi Pandemics happen every 100 years. We weren’t ready. We were supposed to be, we could have been, but we know what happened.

[Sarah @she_fell_down]

@AmmahStarr I work in a Public Health Dept and so many coworkers don't mask. We don't have adequate ventilation. It's so fucked. Constant COVID going around. If PH doesn't care, how can the community be expected to?

[Dr Chi’s Kdrama Life @KdramaUsa]

This is why we need doctors to organize and take a stand against the states’ laissez-faire Covid-19 response.

[Stella Safo, MD MPH @AmmahStarr]

This ‘you do you’ pandemic policy against the backdrop of unrelenting capitalism is really going to screw us all in the end. What a whole mess.
