As an autistic femme-presenting person I have had a lifetime of frustration with fashion, and the idea of ‘clothes’. I don’t know why I’m supposed to like them, or care for them. They frustrate me and literally make me cry.
I’ve decided I don’t want to feel this way about it anymore. So I will pretend that ‘fashion’ is like any other topic I don’t know anything about and am curious to learn more about.
It helps to no longer be living in places where fashion is super gendered (I also struggle with my ‘gender’).
Just like I like well made musical instruments and electronic devices, I think I can also like well made fabrics and clothes. This means that most fast fashion is out of the question for me: which is fine, I didn’t like them anyway.
I feel like I’m on a new adventure and this is the hardest thing I’ll ever do. Harder than starting a company or emigrating. lol

One of the best things I did when I got to SF was open a mailbox at a local business near me. They specialize in paperwork and mail stuff. Not only does this help me with package theft (I ship all high value goods there); when I don’t have the spoons to do things like ‘find the right stamps and box or envelope’, I pay them extra to do it for me. Outsourcing ‘how to get something somewhere’ has saved me so much.
Because they’re also a notary, they know a lot about the local paperwork. I almost threw out a doc that looked like junk to me but she knew that it was an important doc from just seeing the back of it.
Also, there are cats.
Edit: cat tax

Michelle Yeoh plays several characters in this short film set in Penang.
The codeswitching (language and body language) based on status / environment / character is nuanced and reflects a broad range of the Malaysian Chinese city life experience that I have been a part of.
I also love that most of it is filmed in food places, and now I am terribly homesick.

Middle class kids like me can get one throw every decade maybe. I’m about to throw a dart again.
I’m aware lots of things had to have happened for me to even be able to do this. Primarily that my parents without college degrees experienced a once in a lifetime economic growth story in a country that suddenly became rich in their lifetimes. And that I have a passport that lets me go anywhere i want.

I’ve been surprised to learn that many people on this side of the world (other than Asian immigrants and their families) don’t seem to know the extent of Japanese cruelty and imperialism less than a century ago.
This is a good overview although individual countries’ experience with Japanese war and occupation and massacres also deserve to be studied in greater detail. They killed millions of people. Maybe even tens of millions.

I would really like it if white Americans would stop fake begging other settler or colonialist countries to invade us. Yes, they have healthcare, but if you truly believe they have their shit together I have a bridge to sell you.
Do they have more of their shit together? Yes!
Will they treat nonwhite people better? Probably not. POC already have enough nonsense to deal with in this country we don’t need another country’s shit because you think it’ll be fun and sophisticated to be (some other country you like but have never been)
I highly encourage you to google all of these other countries you love so much with the terms ‘immigrants’ and ‘detention camp’ and ‘police violence’. All of you have the same shit. It’s not funny.

I wish I could be back for lunar new year. In the past, no matter where I was I would always make the trek back home. Hopefully this will be the last one that I miss.
I don’t love that visiting during lunar new year also means a lot of my fave foods are not available (lunar new year is the only time some hawkers take time off), but there’s always delicious, non-Chinese foods to eat.
My mum sent a few boxes of my favorite pineapple tarts (from L.E Cafe on Mackenzie road), with a friend who was heading here. So I can at least have the right flavors of lunar new year.
Unsurprisingly, my friend told me when she got here that she’d lived in Singapore for 20 years and had never had such delicious pineapple tarts and now they’re the only ones she wants to eat!
Southeast Asian in California. I once worked at an aquarium. Now I write, publish, speak, and consult about product management and AI ethics. My hobby is having hobbies. I write about food, immigrant life, pets, steel bikes, film photography. I post photos of cats and octopus.

I’ve been on a few mushroom forays recently. The advice is clear: if you’re in California (especially north and central coast) do not put any wild mushrooms in your mouth especially this year
We have many lookalikes that look ‘safe’. More than 40 people have been poisoned, 3-4 dead, since Nov. many of them immigrants who are misled by some of our deathly mushrooms looking exactly the same as the ones they know

I’m so bothered by all of the people who are supposedly on the ‘good’ side who use these things against their political opponents:
- making fun of people’s accents (make fuck, get green card is not funny even if you are mocking a horrible person)
- making fun of people’s weight
- making fun of people’s body parts and appendages
- using all kinds of ableist slurs and insinuations of mental health issues
- insinuating that people who think differently from you have ‘low IQ’ or developmental disabilities
Do better.
