For those who can't read Burmese: ပဲပြုတ် = ngapiyei (fermented fish sauce)

ပဲပြုတ် and crispy fried onion

@howisthatspelt @XunlingAu @natbaker @ThomasVLinge Yes, but this baked by China?

In China, you can earn a lot of money to be a Winnie the pooh nanny. All you have to do is hang out and be loyal to Xi Jinping

Elon Musk confirms that Twitter’s character limit will be raised from 280 to 4000 characters. Can someone please inform him, this is a social media company, based on brevity, and not Microsoft word.

I meditated 15 hours a day for 6 months straight with one of the toughest Buddhist monks on the planet.

Here's what I learned:

@howisthatspelt Gullible or complicit?

One "Burmese" weirdo started hating me for tasting amazing

One weirdo got really mad at me for hating lemongrass 👀

A little 🧵. There are approaches in Migration Studies that (still) believe governments can turn migration on and off like a tap. That they can simply ‘manage’ and neatly regulate migration through policy tools, usually depending on supposed market needs. 1/11

This guy never understood why FB needs many employees because he never had to bear the consequences of the absence of moderators in languages besides English. If FB were held accountable for its failures in protecting the vulnerable, then the calculation would be different

[Bobby Goodlatte @rsg]

I worked at Facebook when we had 200 employees

I’ve never understood why FB needs 20,000 employees. And less so the 70,000 employees Meta has now

@elonmusk’s Twitter layoffs are appropriate

Unfortunate, but appropriate

These businesses just don’t require that many people

Last year, we did a clothing drive for IDPs for the cold winter months. I sent 10 boxes from Japan to Myanmar. The logistic costs were quite high so this year, we’re going to raise funds & buy bulk at the border and send them in. Please support us one more time. 💗

@StellaNaw The no. of Burmese especially Bamar who don't get her point is astonishing. Critiques on NUG & rooting out military are TWO different issues & can exist independently. If you think critiques are meant to divide the nation, mayb ur way of thinking is too linear.

[BB @BeastBurmese]

For anyone wanting to help Myanmar people, please donate through me and my group. We get things done. I promise you. You can look at my tweets. Please help us survive these atrocities. I can’t complain or tweet anything else, I’m too heartbroken. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[Andrew Nachemson @ANachemson]

The continued effort to blame everything on wrong information from the military is very flimsy. There was an avalanche of accurate information coming from human rights orgs and media outlets – the same sources people in Myanmar had completely trusted for decades

These are knife blade oil paintings from Myanmar. The man who painted these was born without the use of his hands and instead paints with his feet.

Pre-covid, he would make a 1.5 hr journey downtown to sell his pieces. Since 2020 he hasn't been able to sell.

Why is press freedom important?
