Santory Oolong Tea.

A package of red Chinese dates, aka jujubes.

Package of Henan Cold Noodles.

Green grapes and honey mandarins.

tonight i will drink tea and eat chinese dates and noodles round 2 and snack on various of my fav fruits and such. and ice cream cake probably :) (unpictured)

is it always the last hour thats most agonizing 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

A bowl of hot dry noodles

it is just after noon on da first day of fasting, i made some noodles for brekky :^) i just woke up from a nap and its going better than i expected so far but i am getting very thirsty...........

the most stalwart and numerous of the resistance come from the muslims of the world right now and i feel its my responsibility, if my words and thoughts of anti-imperialism were ever worth anything, to at least try to understand and experience this profound faith of the freedom fighters

i might try fasting for the rest of ramadan

man the spring festival gala really is so boomer sometimes but with that amount of money and production value youre bound to get some unbelievably transcendent excellency in stage production like why am i just now finding out about last year's 借伞 program

im watching The Expanse and i just finished s1, starting s2, and i just have to say, martians are so cool and have so much aura like i can excuse one (1) military corporatist republic

how did rhey find the most korean-looking kid ever for the gala 😭

these are not ordered within their rank btw i just put them by whichever came first in show order

sorry to all the faye wong likers i just never grew up being a fan of her and i dont think this was her best performance DONT KILL ME I'LL REPENT

My tier list of performances from the 2026 Spring Festival Gala.

my rankings for the chunwan performances and programming

Video titled in Chinese, I roughly translate it to "So powerful! Wu Rina and Alan Aruna sings 'Galloping Sea-Bay Horse' and evokes the image of ten thousand galloping horses! [2026 Spring Festival Gala". Original text is: "太有气势了!乌日娜和阿如那用一首《奔腾的海骝马》唱出了万马奔腾!「2026央视春晚」｜CCTV春晚

this is the best performance out of the 2026 spring festiva gala and its not even close

the day people realize that "chinese" is not and has never been an ethnicity is the day we will live in the utopia flying cars meme pic

what in the world are chinese people cooking

for some reason in my mind tsai ing wen looks the same, like has the same appearance as the evil japanese lady (idgaf about her name)

oh my god. i cannot believe i forgot about 1 montage showcase of select chinese operas from different regions but always including beijing opera

central CCP government decreed yearly required programming for the spring festival gala:

1 pretty chinese ladies dance routine with minimalist backdrops
1 skit criticizing government officials
1 excuse to have all 56 ethnicities' traditional clothing in one place
1 gongxi gongxi rearrangement

THANK U SM!! happy new year to you as well!! 🥰🥰🧧🧧🧧

Screenshot from the 2026 Spring Festival Gala with an arrow pointing to lower third text mentioning "Chinese Maxxing".

ah hell nah how does the official chinese government funded china media group talking about chinamaxxing in their spring festival gala recap

guys im starting ti think that chiang kai shek was not very smart

every event in japanese history from 1850 to 1950 is just: "japan colonizes ____ place. local peasants kills 10 soldiers in a failed uprising. japanese military kills nearly 10 thousand people and razes several villages to the ground in retaliation."

im sorry to say but highkey the winter olympics are no fun when russia isnt competing

every day japan just gives me more reason to dislike it. bruh

so... im reading wicked, halfway through, and from everything ive heard about this book i thought that it would either be 1) misogynistic and kinda pervy or 2) violently edgy for no reason, and its neither so far? what happened to make the discourse around this book turn out like this

got reminded of the saga of the white colonizer born and raised in hong kong claiming fluency in cantonese and that cantonese is a dying language but was unable to even recognize written cantonese and just called it "written chinese". that was a doozy

jokes aside this really is just a case of massive availability bias cuz theres so many cantonese immigrants in the english speaking world, anglophones mostly only hear stories and perspectives from cantonese speaking people 🤷‍♀️ like im sure hakkas have a lot of thoughts about their own language too

Stick figure with a smug expression with an arrow pointed at him, the text reads "clueless."

cantonese chauvinists clinging onto a dying language narrative when (if we use their logic) theyve been the ones driving the two other major cultural groups in guangdong to extinction

i likeyd the bone temple :^)

and the cruel joke is that the bolsheviks didnt even succeed in wiping out the romanovs cuz we got another one on the throne in england rn LOL like thats too cruel i can barely stand it
