We are hoping to… likely to do so once we have the bandwidth!

Two parrots—pink, grey, and white—making out.

A different side to galahs. 🪶

Female on the right with red eye; male on the left with black eye. They mate for life, and these two were wonderfully affectionate.

HAHAHAHA~~~~

If you have an interest in rural Taiwan, unexpected sights, abandoned buildings, Xander is a great follow!

For when words fail us.

Huh… I definitely had casbah. But I also had the world’s worst email address: the first initial of my first name + my full last name = not ok. I had to change it.

Iykyk~~ ❤️❤️

Ahhh back when we rocked the Casbah!!

For years, I've wished for a book I could give my family and friends that introduces Taiwan in an accessible way.

I am proud to announce that Jon Sullivan and I wrote that book.

“Taiwan: A Contest Democracy Under Threat” is available for pre-order now:

Fujii Kaze's latest music video Workin' Hard was shot in Taiwan and features numerous working class scenes from around the country. Taipei streetscapes featured include Qingguang Market and the Huajiang Building. Can you recognize any other locations?

What was the book? Was it good?

Hot and humid! But all in one piece. Come visit! The night markets beckon!

Well hi! Nice to see your face in these parts.

I thing my autocorrect is quiet quitting me. Hell me.

Typhoon day on Thursday for Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung, Yilan!

I mean except for TaiwanPlus of course. Stay tuned!

Oh Murdoch doing this? What could go wrong?

Mister Donut in Taiwan has a new spicy hot pot doughnut, obviously I had to try it. The nice cashier recommended I get a milk tea to drink it with in case it’s too spicy Verdict: oh my goodness, its kind of amazing. Spicy, 麻辣，sweet, everyone needs to try this, it’s 🔥

Your writing has been immensely powerful to read. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you! ❤️

Sending good vibes!

It's what you click to close a window. How fitting.

This aligns with my experiences with Threads, Twitter and Bluesky.

I don’t think that Threads will have much of a long-term impact on Bluesky.

I always follow best practices when it comes to health.

“Free yourself from having to wear a binder; being true to yourself [is the key to] happiness.” Spotted in Kaohsiung.

Hard to say what the most welcoming country for trans people is, but Taiwan has to be up there. I can’t imagine seeing a billboard for top surgery in America that includes an address!

The English “poetry”, the piggy-back shots, and the ones where the woman is in formalwear but the guy is wearing random casual wear. High camp. 👍🏼
