Landed in #SriLanka a year ago for a 4-month project, updating the extensive @BradtGuides. Other than 11 days in India, I’ve been here, because 2020. Grateful for the incredible education, not only of normal SL culture, but even getting to observe #COVID19 in a different country.
@brainrotpill @greenstick1234 @punished_daniel So relieved to see this explained cuz cut fruit IS super Asian & it’s the only way I eat it since childhood, but it was def NOT a metaphor for love. Couldn’t figure out why people kept saying “cut fruit” was deeply cringey, my mom just likes doing it & I find it easier to eat.
@54patcoleman Local cops, judges, and elections officials don’t wear masks and are still able to protect themselves despite threats. Only reason ICE wears masks is to intimidate people and to avoid the next Nuremberg trials. But keep trying to convince yourself otherwise.
viewing taiwanese independence as "US-CIA-backed separatism" rather than taiwanese people's struggle for self determination and decolonisation (from china and the ROC) is an imperialist position, in that you support chinese imperialism and reinforce US imperialism
It's astounding how outdoor dining and congestion pricing became “progressive-coded” despite the former granting public space to private businesses and the latter using market means to influence commuter decisions, all because right-wingers couldn't get over their car worship.
@k0stoglotov @PettitFrontier @mrpxssy Before it was reverted to being a mosque a few years ago, it was a ticketed tourist site. When I went years ago it wasn’t this expensive nor did I see scammers, & the line to get in was much much longer after it became a free-entry mosque.
The images of Palestinians being burned alive, children carrying dead children & the unimaginable human suffering in Gaza are unbearable. Our country is funding this genocide. It's disgusting. The inaction of @POTUS & his administration will be remembered in the world.
@katharinegk I still dream of bánh canh cua which isn't in NYC & seems rare in LA. There's tons of places if you search the map. We went here in 2019, very popular, immediately ordered 2nd bowls: https://t.co/kTzCfhTLzO. But now it has more non-Vietnamese reviews than other spots do...
@dercirq@hunter_hhhh Feels like it's just bait. Most likely not for political reasons, she wanted virality since she also has a video about "accidentally" paying $26 for Whole Foods' hot bar. Probably the virality didn't go her way this time cuz she deleted this while the hot bar vid is still up.
