I have beef with the person who English subbed When Life Gives You Tangerines. You had one job, dude. Those lines were poetry and you made them Bro.

Everybody go and watch When Life Gives You Tangerines.

Yes! And reminding one another that the goal is boycotting until we get the CHANGE we are asking for as a collective.

Yes! Let people feel the fuckery of this moment and all that led to it.

Major side eye at theologies and theologans that disavow people's deep despair. It feels like robbing people of parts of their humanity. Denying our ability to feel the depth of immeasurable pain and loss which mirrors our ability to feel the immensity of love and joy.

These Squashies candies are legit. Why is UK candy so much better

Taught with teacher-activist friends in LA last week. Talked about the next four years and this coming Monday. Students asked, "What will we do?" We said, "Same as we always do. Learn one another's communities and needs, help, lean on each other, fight, march, sit, block, plant, rest, repeat."

TikTok is back, but in an Omeny way. Glad to see people again, but...Damien? That you?

Oof. Long covid. Yes, online community has definitely helped me with disease most people can't see. I'm glad it has for you too. Solidarity!!

What is gained by celebrating the severing of people's connection through "just an app"? Connection made across borders and boundaries they often did not choose? What "lesson" are you willing people to learn from their loss? Is something only meaningful if you personally identify with it?

TikTok showed what was happening at what some thought was the world's edge. I learned & shared about living with Lupus. We shared recipes & stories. I devoured the STEM section daily. We made each other laugh. The algo showed us people with 80 followers & 1 mil side by side. We were communities.

The perfect bite: perilla leaf, Shin ramen, grilled mushroom, grilled pork belly, kimchi

Are you even Korean in the mountains if your lunch doesn't look like this?

I feel you. I'm roasting you a hotdog. Come over and we can stare at the fire in silence.

Instead of attending #aarsbl I'm roasting a hotdog over a fire in the mountains

I'm new to BlueSky. So far my feed is libraries, ways fight facism, and pictures of space. Sums me up.

Academics should read widely. Read fantasy, science fiction, romantasy, history, short stories, autobiographies, graphic novels, YA. Re-teaches us love, imagination, dreaming, despair, and humanity.

A reminder for global majority people at the #AARSBL, you don't have imposter syndrome. The institutions weren't made to hold what we bring. Their tables were already too small.

I love this so much

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about Tali. Sending you comfort as grieve. Losing our more than human companions is so deeply painful. Thinking of you, friend.

I'm so glad you coached me on this!

Did you eat today? Lots of cultures around the world including mine ask loved ones this question as a greeting. Did you care for yourself? Did someone care for you? Did you find nourishment? What are you having to eat this morning? I'm having a small coffee with Korean sweet 🍠

I was raised in a conservative Korean Christian family and never taught to hear biblical stories as a child with a critical ear. It was all fact. It's interesting watching my kids at 6 and 9 and say, "Why is god hateful?" Or ask tender questions about god creating pain.

Discovered a children's Bible called The Peace Table. My children and I have been reading it. I'm raising my kids in Korean Mugyo beliefs and practices, so they are hearing many of these Bible stories for the first time. Currently reading through 1 Kings. They are horrified and fascinated.

I'm not going to #AARSBL this year for the second time in a row. Last year it was because I was on sabbatical. I missed meeting up with friends, but not the conference itself. I hadn't missed a single AAR since doctoral days. Rethinking whether or not it's the place for me anymore.

Now I remember why I didn't particularly enjoy the other social platform. There's an urgency to post every thought or get lost in streams of other's consciousness. Before sharing, my thoughts need repeated burial, fermentation, and unearthing like umma's good kimchi. I feel slow here. Just me?
