- i have money to commission things and am struggling to find an artist who i want to commission helpppppppp. (to be clear, this is not a call for people to self-promote, this is mostly me turning to my mutuals going 'people i know send me help as i try to commission a portrait')
- Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew of any labs/programs looking for MS/PhD students in physics outside of the US? I’m not actively actively looking to leave my program because I did just start it, but I figured it’s a good thing to keep an eye on. #physics
- Doing a real soft small inquiry here. Does anyone have any art/experience in drawing art of butches of color in traditional cultural clothing? Tyyyyy
- Ever wanted to see someone speed run traditional Thai clothes? Well congrats. I’m here. And audacious

- Reposted by θ Chun | grad school eraAs a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.
- Reposted by θ Chun | grad school erahey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot
- I’m QRTing this for better reach ngl, but LIKE JENN LOOK AT THIS. DO RESEARCH. FIVE SECONDS OF IT. OR NOT EVEN RESEARCH?? JUST THOUGHT? Like just don’t put on random asian stuff cause you saw asian! That’s stupid! It makes you look stupid!
- I’ve chaotically ended up in this argument around cosplaying characters from KPDH. And like… save me. I shouldn’t be arguing about this. But some people are fucking stupid. Like i’m so sorry to break this to you, but you’re not owed the chance to cosplay using people’s cultural clothing?? Wild that.
- Something I honestly find incredibly annoying is the thought that the educational crisis we’re facing is simply because society’s devalued the arts. That’s fundamentally just not true. The literacy and educational crisis is built out of a poor science education just as much.
- My one great fucking annoying is how many people keep reccing chinese media when talking about kpop demon hunters. Like… i get that those properties have folkloric focuses… but why are you reccing effectively historical wuxia as being similar to contemporary korean fantasy smh.
- A funny update on this is that i do now have to pick between grad school programs.
- Oh no… be worried… the universe has decided to let me attend grad school for astrophysics and after this I WILL be fucking insufferable.
- Shhhhhh I know I haven’t been on here for months. But hi.
- JD Vance is the antichrist and killed the pope.
- i'm reading a SINGLE novella from one very notorious thai-chinese author... and are we positive this author is thai-chinese? or that they're who ppl think they are? all their novellas seem to use cantonese.
- The fact that 6 quakers got arrested for organizing a protest is WILD and what makes it weirder is that THEY WERE IN THE UK. I’M SORRY. YOU’RE ARRESTING QUAKERS?
- i've been dead to the world bc ive been doing post-bacc apps. ugh.

- I’ve thought up a great business idea that would only work in socal. Boba stores with tea the quality of odd one out/formosa aroma/jin tea with an interior aesthetic of an traditional chinese tea house.

- I need people to realize that basically every hallway fight scene you’ve ever seen in every movie is a reference to this one Korean movie. All of them. Always. It’s always an Oldboy reference. It’s never not an Oldboy reference. I cannot stress this enough.

- My real obnoxious trait is judging every cover of the poppy wars to see if Fang Runin is actually drawn with a book-accurate skin tone or not. #booksky
- I’ve seen a *stupid* amount of people go ‘oh if you voted 3rd and live in a blue state this is your fault’ and like… no? By definition it isn’t? That’s not how the electoral college works? Protestors in California and New York who abstained did so knowing that.

- Tbqh it’s wild that we allow 80s to be senators and representatives in the US when the Vatican doesn’t even allow 80 yo Cardinals to vote in the papal selection process.
- Reposted by θ Chun | grad school eraYes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

- I am aware that i cannot hold british people’s accents against them, but i’m playing avowed, and they keep saying ‘envoy’ as ‘N-voy’ and like… while it’s right in british english it’s wrong in american english because it’s a french word so you’re supposed to pronounce the en as ehun and not N.
- *Sobs for joy* a recruiter reached out to me to talk about their company thank GODDDDD
