And, while I find the constant verbal eeking and squeaking of younger women in the dramas to be annoying, those dowager queens / dowager consorts are slaying. Sometimes literally. 😂🤣😂

lol, I just saw “ROYAL KITCHEN: WHERE THE ROYAL MEALS ARE PREPARED,” which strikes me as an fairly obvious description?

@clacke The timing IS too quick sometimes!

I hadn’t thought about archaic words — that makes sense. It’s weird, they sometimes keep the untranslated word (like “chaehong”) in the explanation, but other times they translate it (“royal kitchen”). Feels like for the explanations, they should either always use the original word, or pick an English archaic word instead, like using “Cyċene” for kitchen. (The first option feels like a better choice, but I’m not a translator.)

Also, every culture of course has its tropes, and what makes it to Netflix is of course filtered even more, but I have to laugh at the number of time traveling people who end up in the Joseon era. Surely for such a small space, they’d all bump into each other sometime! 🤣😂

(And also, damn, the clothing of that era is so, so pretty. As is the food porn, when they do it!)

#kDrama #BonAppetitYourMajesty

A confusion about #KDrama -- every so often there will be text in all caps, that explain a word, practice or person. For example: “GRAND PRINCE JESAN: SUPERINTENDENT OF SAONGWON”.

Are those present in the original Korean version, or are they for English viewers in the subtitles? I can’t tell and am curious about the original intended experience.

Mastodon non-monogamous folk, I have a question for y'all! What books do you know that have positive representations of triads and throuples in them? Looking for ones with a variety of genders and also specifically ones with MMM representation.

Please share your treasures (boosts appreciated as well)!

@skinnylatte Oh yum, that does sound delicious! (I can tell it's time for lunch given how much my mouth watered...) Thanks for the pointers!

(Also, huh, looks like I can get Pandan Leaves frozen from Uwajimaya, so might be able to play with those.)

@skinnylatte Huh, I'm surprised there aren't curry leaves near you! Those have always been really easy to find near me (though admittedly I'm looking at Uwajimaya rather than smaller stores). I generally assume from your descriptions that you have access to WAY more variety than I do. :)

I confess I'm now curious about pandan leaves and tumeric leaves and their uses.

Hah. Bought curry leaves through Instacart and it was by lb not by package so I ended up with MANY.

Suggestions for the extras? I’m thinking I could dry them and store for future ala bay leaves. Or maybe they are interesting as tea? No idea.

This shirt is the shit.

@skinnylatte I’m so glad to get validation that someone else experienced the same thing!

No one told me for LASIK that while there isn’t pain (though “pressure” sometimes reads as pain to me)…when the lasers are going, you can literally smell your own eyeballs burning. Which… is disconcerting. And I could smell it for about a half hour after.

Plus side, my vision is rapidly defogging and sharpening as I heal. Eyes are itchy as fuck but I expected that.

Modern medicine is honestly amazing. I was unable to function uncorrected until this morning.

@skinnylatte I don’t generally think of Seattle as particularly ahead of anyone on permitting, wonder what’s different with SF?

Also, not sure what your transit situation is, but there are multiple really good food places around the Asian Family Mart in Bellevue. Mostly Chinese (I don’t know enough to know region sorry) and Taiwanese, I believe. The ID is great of course. But Bellevue I think also has had a lot of immigration too, particularly with MSFT close.

@skinnylatte We are ready for you with LOTS of drizzle on tap today! I had to wear my hoodie’s hood just to get the mail this morning. :-)

I’m zero percent sad at the explosion of #SuperbOwl across my timeline today. Owls are awesome! Here’s the amazing time I got to fly Dingle with @Wham, inside the barn they had built JUST FOR DINGLE to get exercise in. 😂🤣

@mekkaokereke has talked about how Black people have knowledge that white people don’t, often relevant to the coming #uspol years. I realized I was ignorant of Black activist writing from the 70s. I’d only read up through early civil rights.

Just finished “Assata”, by Assata Shakur and holy shit. There is SO much in there relevant to today’s world. And I’m sad to realize I’d never heard of her before. Highly recommend reading it if she’s new to you.

What should be next, I wonder.

If I want to suggest that a nonprofit or company join the fediverse, is there an article somewhere that describes their options and tradeoffs **with this lens**?

I.e, whats the decision tree for when a company might want to start its own server versus who should just hop on mastodon.social? And if there are other servers to consider (I.e, for small art craft shops, I think there’s several pro-commercial servers I’ve seen). #askfedi

(Boosts appreciated!)

@valhalla Lolol, welllll, ok 🙃

Finally cut this off the loom, I like it, but it was so uneven that it was getting impossible to weave near the back bar. I probably lost about 24” of usable warp, which is a bit sad, but lots of learnings here. I definitely tried too long a warp and my front bar is not evenly tied to the loom 😤

I did get a pre-wash, pre-hem 92” length. It’s in the wash right now and will see how it tightens up; I had a few diagonal fell spots that may be unusable. #weaving #rigidheddle

It survived the wash, tho part of it is slightly skeezy fabric. But it looks impressive folded up… #weaving #rigidheddle
