People online (white) will create so many conspiracy theories that just boil down to "Asians aren't complete human beings with their own thoughts and autonomy" like maybe Chinese people are just going about their day to day life. Maybe a video of a North Korean person like chilling is just a person chilling, who isn't going to power down like a robot once the video is over. Stop being a fucking creep.

I was living in Shanghai in 2020 and 2021, and after the initial covid chaos, when things had settled down and the contact tracing and testing systems were in place, things were quite stable, the case numbers were low, etc. Like, you can have an opinion on how extreme the control measures were, but they were effective. Basically nobody I knew got covid, and like, I was taking the densely packed subway at rush hour every day. If it was out there to be exposed to, I'd have been exposed.

And I remember telling people back home in North America about this, and they just... wouldn't believe me. They were insistent that there were mass cases, mass death, and that the government was just covering it up.

And I was like, "No, like, we'd know. Like, you know tons of people, if they were getting covid and getting locked down, or worse, dying, you'd be aware of it." But nothing would persuade them. And I'd ask how it was supposed to be the case that tons of people were dying, and we just weren't noticing. And pretty often they'd say something like,

"Well, there's so many people. They just don't value life there like we do."

Which is a fucked up thing to say, even if you're talking about, like, labour safety standards, which is nominally what people pretend to be talking about when they say shit like that usually. But to talk about people dying of covid? Like, you think when a Chinese person loses a relative to covid they just don't care? Because there's a lot of other Chinese people?

So, yeah, a lot of white North Americans were perfectly happy to whole-ass tell me that they don't see Chinese people as complete human beings.

It is with great pleasure that I inform you all that today is the most Wednesday-ist day of the year

This stupid state is not real

they're fucking banning being emo 😭😭

I'm the one who tells them to kill off deeply traumatized characters. they bring me into the studio and they say "what should we do next on this character's healing journey?" and then I smile and say "kill them off purely for shock value when they have fought so hard for their healing & were so close to a happier ending they could almost touch it" and then the writers mournfully start high fiving me because they have to do it now

my studio of flesh computers who were once human beings has a happy ending alarm for if someone tries to write one of those, but it doesn't really do anything because everything that can be done already has

Stop getting mad at me I raise undead when im in distress

More than one person who knew me and my spouse way back has assumed that they divorced their shitty husband to marry a much cooler trans woman.

Then Ren will mention how long we've been married for and they look at me like

@renthony We need to concoct an elaborate fiction about how your husband died in a mysterious accident and definitely wasn't poisoned but fortunately I was there to comfort you through your terrible, definitely not affected grief.

You're gonna have to wear one of those frilly robes with feathery cuffs and collar, Natalie

Oh, that was always the plan

there should be more romance repulsed characters. there should be more aro characters in general but i deserve characters who would rather throw themselves off a skyscraper than be in a romantic relationship
