Idk why people are surprised at TikTok CEO Singaporean dude is a shady mfer. Dude is from Singapore, the most capitalist boot licking country in the region. It’s literally the America of SEAsia, there’s a reason why the rest of us SEAsians hate SG

If we're going to talk about homelessness in China you can't ignore the hukou system because it directly ties people to their ancestral hometowns, something white people can't understand

For those migrating to XHS, please be respectful and engage in a culturally conscious way. If Americans start acting up, they may separate XHS to having a greater China region version on one server and non greater China foreign regions in another.

I’m glad ti see the cultural exchange and some of the productive convos ppl have been having with each other that bridge the cultural divide and are undoing US propaganda. But some of you don’t realize you are invading a space that isn’t yours and engaging in digital colonialism.

XHS isn’t just a new tool or another space for the same shit, it’s an already existing digital community with set customs, people, and unique content. It’s not for Americans to just come in and make their own even as they are being welcomed.

The need to market Xiaohongshu as Rednote screams anticommunism and Sinophobia, because the literal translation for XHS is Little Red Boo, as in the popular international name for the Quotations from Chairman Mao booklet.

Also, XHS isn’t the Chinese TikTok; Douyin is, which was all the rage for Amerikkkans to try to download a few years back. XHS is more like Instagram mixed with Pinterest

The lack of empathy for the people affected by the fire on the left is infuriating. Y’all are more focused on the idea of the interconnectedness of globalized imperialism, and the news of rich LA-ers, that yall forget all the working class, the poor, the incarcerated, etc.

There are farm workers still working in wind storms amidst smoke. Incarcerated people stuck prison in evacuation zones, while the carceral death system refuses to evacuate them. No plans for disabled people to evacuate. Unhoused people getting their entire life blown away.

Fun fact: Agent Orange was pioneered by the Brits for use against the commie Malayan National Liberation Army during the Malayan Emergency (aka the Anti-British National Liberation War). British use of it as a weapon of war was used to justify its use by Americans in Vietnam War

I refuse to keep the peace, I will always be making peace. I will always choose generative conflict and revolutionary struggle over being a bystander and enabler by keeping silent or doing nothing. There is violence in inaction. There is no peace to be kept.

5/ Nikki Giovanni expressed this dynamic perfectly to James Baldwin: “You keep the best of yourself for the world, but give me the worst.” This truth resonates with anyone in the trenches of activism and love. Often, those closest to us feel safe enough to unmask their pain—but that pain can come at a cost to the activist. The burden of being both a partner and an emotional caretaker can be overwhelming, leaving little room for their own healing and survival.

The next time someone asks me my body count, my answer will be: Personal or professional? Consensual or non consensual? Sexual partners or murders?

it’s really disturbing, sad, and a bit infuriating watching people read the copious amounts of research that comes out on how COVID can and does affect the body and come to the conclusion that “no, that’s ridiculous, because if that’s true then the government is allowing us all to repeatedly catch a virus that can mess up our bodies and kill us. surely that can’t be true.”

A negative rapid COVID test does not necessarily mean you are COVID-free. Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) are not great. They are to be trusted only if they are positive. If they are positive, then yes, you have COVID. If negative, you may still have COVID.

If you’re dealing with Long Covid - there’s a chance you’re also dealing with MCAS and/or POTS/Dysautonomia. They’re common comorbids & can have a devastating impact on quality of life. New allergies? Alcohol intolerance? Dizziness? Fatigue? Fainting? Mega 🧵 of resources
