I stand with First Nations people today, that marks the moment their sovereignty was denied, their humanity discounted & their culture desecrated. Changing our celebratory date is just one small part of building a stronger nation on foundations of truth, equality & unity.

in a move likely to anger china, taiwanese move to vote in local elections with local issues and local concerns in mind amid rising tensions in the taiwan strait, despite warning from beijing - an analysis of what taiwan's elections mean for the future of us-china relations

Nothing says it’s Pride weekend in Taipei more than a drag queen death dropping to a club remix of Taiwan’s bin collection song.

Meanwhile, a 15-year-old boy was killed while walking home from school and his community are begging us to pay attention. He was walking while Black. That’s it.
There are some massive issues in this country that we just keep papering over. But made up culture wars- all over that

We got to retire the phrase “no ethical consumption under capitalism” because it’s turned into trite rhetoric. That sentence is meant to be the starting point for an exploration into ethics & capitalism, not a way to end a conversation through justifying any consumptive behavior.

The plaques left on nuclear waste sites have to use non-technical language in case meanings are forgotten. Making them absolutely terrifying

[Aurora Chang 張瓊方 🌻🍉 @aurorachaang]

it's that time of the year again so in case anybody was wondering, i don't celebrate the roc or identify with this 🇹🇼 flag, and to many taiwanese the roc does not equate to taiwan (although the reverse opinion exists as well because well, it's complicated history) 1/

Said it before and I'll say it again: stanning fascists in other countries just bc they make token gestures toward Taiwan does nothing but spit in the face of marginalized people in other countries. Is that the international image we want for Taiwan?
