@instax where can I send a barely used Instax mini 9 to be fixed? The black backing of the film box gets jammed every time. Already destroyed 3 boxes of film. Batteries are new. Film is new. Only used this camera once. Pretty disappointing.

Super responsible headline at a time when #aapihate crimes continue to rise. CHO cells are widely used in drug development and medical research outside of China since the 1950s. But exoticizing Chinese inventions and painting them as hamster killers, much better #clickbait.

China has approved its fifth Covid-19 vaccine, and it’s made from the ovary cells of hamsters. https://t.co/AcTqb7EMX5

You know you've been Asian for too long when you see pickled blueberries on a steak and thought, Good lord, who dun started this bullshit boba trend?

[Tiffany Ran @eat_bitter]

@youngwby Gross. Haha. But I get it. I feel the same way.

Just glad to be reading about wombat shit. That is all.

@kairuy Whaaat? No...I must check. Wonder which designer doesn't act fast enough and gets stuck with Crayon Shin-chan. 😅

So this is real. Pretty sure Taiwanese Night Markets + Wufengpu vendors invented this collab. From the fakes come the real. #doremonxgucci

1. Very uncool 2. Okay it's the Daily Mail but 3. Its a pub that doesn't refer for DTF as dim sum. Can we pls tell the other Seattle publications to stop doing that?

@dearclarissa Ah so cool. Will you write about 高粱 while you're there?

[Tiffany Ran @eat_bitter]

@kairuy I don't like or wish to defend the guy at all, but I was deprived of food fairly regularly simply for disagreeing or expressing anger. There wasn't any engagement, conversation, or shared challenge. It's very difficult for me to read that thread and see abuse.

Looking at different fish for my Lunar New Year steamed or red braised whole fish. Nearby Asian market offers small tilapia or monster sized carp. Or milkfish with 500 bones. Is the whole fish for prosperity mantra not a thing anymore? 😩

I used to work with a chef who would bring his Christmas tree into work in pieces and there we would be with a saw just hackin' away. One tree became numerous things: cocktails, smoked meats, infused dressings, etc.

Hong Yen Chang was a trailblazer when racial hostility led to discriminatory laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act. https://t.co/ffcRc9Vy0D

An idea for a new hobby: collecting uncorrected proofs of books I enjoy reading. I would love it if a respected author mixed up your and you're. I'd be reading it just hoping for a "[insert something profound here]" though I'm guessing the proof is well past that stage.

@PopstarCobaine I've experienced something similar but the dashboard is saying in order to appeal this decision, I hv to send in copy of social security card + another ID to verify identity? Did you get this too? Sounds scammy.

Definite correlation between pandemic and me watching more @dodo videos, then spending an inordinate amount of time outside trying to seduce a raccoon or groundhog. Even those guys won't come home with me.

@Izzy_Niu How about 小墨 like "little ink blot"
