No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

anyway i came back on here to try to invent the ethical vague.
I saw some whitewashed danmei-inspired fiction a while ago. And obviously it bothered me. But what also bothered me was that I didn’t know quite what to do next. I have mutuals in common with the author. So I was going to ask one of them to privately DM some concerns to the author. But when I sat down to write that message, I realized that I had no clue what I wanted from the interaction. Did I want an apology to the Chinese people at large? Not really, no. I don’t think that would actually do anything. Did I want them to delete their writing in penance? Again, not really. I’m not trying to punish this person. What I really wanted was someone to have said at the onset of that person’s project: “Hey! Could you think this premise and project through a little more?” I want the harm to never have existed. I want fantasies; I want alternative universes. I want something that very self-evidently did not happen. So what now? What I’m really asking is a very simple, very commonly asked question: how do we identify and repair harm? Maybe we can try to think through this together. What was the harm? This is a bit nebulous. The whitewashing upset me, but the reason it’s bad is not because it hurts my feelings, although my earlier writing has attempted to restore this dimension to the conversation. I think the harm is that it is part of a common practice of treating Chinese culture (and other cultures of people of color) as purely aesthetic, apolitical, and disposable. So, how do we fix this? As a writer, I do believe that critique, like the kind I’m writing right now, is an important part of making this dynamic visible and then rejecting it. If whitewashing is allowed to remain invisible and unremarked upon, this both reinforces and naturalizes it. Ideally, I could break down exactly how whitewashing occurred, why it went unremarked upon, and some strategies for avoiding it. But critique is charged. To be frank, I don’t trust you, the reader of this post. I don’t trust you to be chill about this. I want to be able to have a conversation about whitewashing that doesn’t result in 1) harassment or 2) a lack of reflection from people doing the harassing. I am not drawing a link between anti-racist critique and harassment. I am alluding to a social dynamic that I’ve written on before in my earlier essay “white eyes and chinese looks,” the last time I tried to write about whitewashed danmei-inspired fiction. The problem isn’t that people care too much about anti-racism; the problem is that people care insufficiently about meaningful anti-racism. Anyway. So instead of putting this author on blast, I am writing a gentle reminder to us all to consider how whitewashing may manifest, even in our mutuals’ work. I encourage you to say something to them, if you think you know who this is about. You may be right. You may be wrong. But either way, you have started a conversation about whitewashing in a respectful way that is hopefully more productive than anything I can write to a stranger. And to the author of the story I’m talking about, I don’t have any practical ways for you to rework your story. I think it’s pretty inherently predicated on whitewashing, and I would like you to sit with that.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.

I genuinely think this is a very good tactic. Treat collaborators like what they are. Use every possible method at every level of government to make it clear that collaborators will be punished.

“I imagine if this was a homeless shelter or a mental health center, you would find a way to stop it. You would pull out all the stops."

www.welcometohellworld.com/a-surprise-z...
Resident Jon Mannella challenged the lie that immigration agents target the “worst of the worse” and questioned why DHS and the City of Surprise would place them next to multiple schools if this smear was true. “I imagine if this was a homeless shelter or a mental health center, you would find a way to stop it. You would pull out all the stops. You would pull out the tomes of English common law, dust them off, and try to find some appendix in there to make sure you didn’t have to build this building. Well just pretend that it’s that and put a stop to it.”

It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

Three green-skinned clip-art witches surrounding a cauldron. In the middle is one witch stirring the cauldron with the other two flanking her sides. The cauldron reads "garlic and onion," and from left-to-right the witches read: "My roommate saying 'smells good'", "me," "my other roommate saying 'smells good'."
