To be fair, you have way more accessible commentary on Chinese dialogue than a lot of people that internet randos are able to ask. Also, shout-out to Toisan, my grandmother's family is from Yanping.

@lesterlee.bsky.social Another sensible fusion recipe, as if we needed more ways to use oyster sauce. youtu.be/HUclm0ponZE?...

It was fantastic. I got the inspo from a place called ZCrew that does Korean fried chicken Benedict. You should totally go there when you're next in town. Maybe we can even meet up.

Eggs Benedict made with Chinese barbecued pork instead of ham.

As a disabled person, when taking care of myself is a full-time job.

I wish disability benefits paid the same as assisted living caregivers.

So in discussing Trump's apparent endorsement of AB separatism with an American friend, I called Danielle Smith "Canada's Marjorie Taylor Greene", and I'd like that to catch on. #abpoli

This is hitting especially hard today.

A dog groomer YouTuber I follow insists on the Equi-Groomer.

A lot of my life isn't great right now, but it does amuse me to see what YT feels is most relevant, c/o @miriamanzovin.bsky.social .

idk I feel like I need cis people to understand right now that the most optimistic best-case scenarios still involve trans people living in fear for the rest of our lives

Oh my God, yes. Especially if they're writing subtitles anyway. Just post the subtitles and call it a guide.

Push notifications. Phones are meant to take my attention when I want to use them, not be higher-maintenance than a fucking Tamagotchi.

In Metal Gear Solid (1998), when fighting the Hind D helicopter, you're advised to keep track of its location by listening to the stereo panning. But if you've set "Sound" to "Monaural" in the Options menu, you get this exclusive addition. . .

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

Judging solely from the art you posted, I feel like the devs are "some rules are made to be broken" people.

Please take time to recover. I hope you feel better soon!

Actually, it's not QUITE the same job market. Ours is smaller because our disabilities prevent us from doing certain jobs.

Oh, and we also have to deal with being discriminated against for being disabled at all, even when applying for jobs we "can do".

Related to my last thread: Many people with disabilities are told to "find a job you CAN do".

Is there a magical pile of jobs just waiting for a qualified disabled person to fill them? If so, why wasn't I told?

People with disabilities have to navigate the same shitty job market as anyone else.

🧵

That brings me nicely to the main point:

"Unable to work" means "unable to do things that take as much time and energy as a normal job".

A person who can't work 10 hours a week at a "normal" part-time job because of their disability ALSO can't spend 10 hours a week building their side hustle.

What if the side hustle is filling out surveys or playing mobile games or something?

tl;dr I can say from experience that it takes at least as much time and energy to pay your bills by doing surveys or playing mobile games than if they'd just gotten a regular job instead.

Building a side hustle into something that pays the bills is a LOT of work. In many cases, starting a "side hustle" actually means starting your own business.

Starting your own business is more work than a normal job, not less. Plus, even successful businesses take years to turn a profit.

So, today someone suggested that since I can't work and have been having trouble getting disability benefits, I should start a side hustle.

Friends, this was a bad suggestion, even though it was well-intentioned and seems reasonable at first glance.

Let's go over why.

Good to know, I'll have to try it next time I'm in town!

Text post that says, "First my sister, now relentless Tumblr ads. Stop telling me to find Jesus! I'm Jewish! I don't care that you lost him again, that's your problem!" Then a reply that says, "You'd think nailing him down would have helped."

@miriamanzovin.bsky.social Belated Shabbat shalom. 😂

Love the art, and the caption is 👌.

There goes a piece of our childhood.

"Are you okay? I saw you furrowing your brow."

Yeah, I'm fine, just autistic.
