@liztai I have the giggles so bad now, 新年快乐

Please comment on the Department of Labor commentary regarding ending sub-minimum wages for people with disabilities, in the USA, that I just shared. This is some coverage of the situation as of roughly 2 years ago that I think can be helpful, if you're trying to write a comment.

It's a human rights issue. Individual employers have been well aware that this is wrong, for a long time, and it's clear nothing short of this rule will make most change. https://stateline.org/2024/03/28/disabled-workers-can-be-paid-less-than-the-minimum-wage-some-states-want-to-end-that/

@liztai "Didn't know you were into knife play, Er-ge, but for you, we can get into that."

"I will not be doing the dance moves to the pop rocks candy song on this floating dock, even if the people who can see me from across the marina would find it funny" and other bad ideas narrowly avoided. I did make YMCA arms instead.

@liztai Holy CRAP that looks amazing wow I got a whole discord server who needs to know about this

@JillsJoy @middleclasstool dang, all good ideas.

Jill, I resisted and did not suggest 无感 Wugan ("No Sense") by Wang Yibo but I want you to know how hard I thought about it.

@JillsJoy @middleclasstool I have still never watched any of the performances. I'm not ready. Saving them for a really bad time or something

@lookitmychicken I just want you to know you're adorable. You sound so happy in your life and your sensuality rn.

@lookitmychicken oh no!

Uh, where is this barbell normally? Did you, uh, get the nips done?

@lookitmychicken oh damn the project manager sounds amaaaaaazing

@liztai 🤝 from me, halfway through War of Faith right now, a few days behind the episodes airing on CCTV...8 I think, and thinking about what messages we're meant to get from it and what messages I do actually get. (And avoiding Weibo because I don't wanna get spoiled for tonight's latest twists.)

I find I don't want to watch anyone's modern day military/police shows right now, but I don't want to watch stuff that looks like my own suburban US white person life, either.

Let's give a round of applause to the most bisexual jianghu drama to supposedly be straight. Also with the best slapstick. https://www.tumblr.com/giraffeter/743213295910158336?source=share

Hey Mastodon, tell me what's giving you hope right now. #glimmers

This just in from episode 2: Zhou Shen getting extremely nervous and being very worried about his Cantonese pronunciation and then knocking it out of the park anyway is very on brand. He's so sweet and relatable that way. And my god I don't speak Cantonese but I sure listened to the other singer sing many of those lyrics first and he sounded like he kept up JUST FINE.

@Forestofglory Zhou Shen has been one of mine for a while

@liztai I should watch some of the adaptations people my age grew up on, but oh, I am also very excited if this is my in, you know?

Also, I see Meng Ziyi. She was in the 2017 one, is this... that one? No, I guess she's in this one _too_ if it's this: https://mydramalist.com/739239-jin-yong-wu-xia-shi-jie

Anyway, yay!!!

This week I translated Wang Yibo's new EP, Bystander. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XaR212lNrboWL5BRdzHz7T3sJxsqlqMQ_IXhQftcHbY

The translations are presented first in a Chinese/pinyin/English format and repeated in solely English. I formatted it with spacing and italics for easier study, and set it up for US letter printing. Enjoy!

@lookitmychicken you're one of the reasons I never regret opening my Mastodon app.

@lookitmychicken o no. I just realized how much I miss Vanness. Which is wild because I didn't like him at first but then I realized how kind and relatable he is. Will this be what gets me to watch this season....

@leahbobet are those Tulip socks by Cookie A I spy in your newsletter, or something that looks like them? (My housemate is working on some right now which is why the pattern name is back in my head.)
