On Taiwan's gold: Posting because it's important for everyone to see when a flag but not 🇹🇼 is raised, and a song but not the anthem is played. This indignity is reserved for Russia, who doped, and Taiwan, whose crime is being a self-governing democracy.

(Me talking to another Taiwanese person)
Her: Do you want (Taiwan) to be ruled by US or Japan?
Me: I want Taiwan to be ruled by Taiwan.
Her: Ok but what if?
Me: What do you mean what if? Neither of them want to take over Taiwan.

Prior to colonization, land-based & traditional medicines were commonly used to prevent or end pregnancies.

and non Asian people yelling "Ni-Hao" to me on the street. (Less but still happens.)
It was really uncomfortable.
My Chinese flatmate once explained to me that it is somewhat of a "common sense" within China that every East-Asian looking person is and should be Chinese,

Taiwan in 1971: We left the UN and are very sad
Taiwan in 2021: We have TSMC & yummy pineapples, love salmon, and blocked the Suez Canal 😂.
What a difference 30 years makes....

Recently we have seen a rise in TERF politics and transphobia in Ottawa spaces. It is time to address this. There is no room for transphobia virtually or physically. There is nothing radical about excluding trans folks. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

#Taiwan and Taiwanese identity is certainly complex! Graduate student of anthropology @a_dyc_ writes on the ‘paradox’ of conflicting beliefs for our online magazine. https://t.co/LzlyhvVBpp

"Political and social identities are often in flux. But an incoherence between social and political identities can reveal the tensions in Taiwan’s national identity today." Check out the latest NüStory by anthropologist @a_dyc_ and edited by @amyhawk_ ! https://t.co/LzlyhvVBpp

The New York Times lists #Kaohsiung as one of the places to love in 2021. What an honor! Andrew Liu, the recommender, has been thinking of Kaohsiung almost daily since he left. I hope you can explore the charm and enjoy the warm of this wonderful city after the pandemic ends.

Taiwanese identity is a ‘paradox’ of conflicting beliefs – but social bonds create unity https://t.co/X4iUb4mHKp Story from Taiwan by @a_dyc_ for @NuVoices edited by @amyhawk_
