Currently reading Assistant to the Villain and I have so many theories.
So, I work for an independent shipping company that does frequent business with people sending phones. They have the lithium ion battery so they can’t do by air- safety concern. This dude on eBay tells me he wants air shipping and that it’s only $7 to send a phone to NJ… like no dude it isn’t….

So… TikTok is back up and running. This feels weird and not like a win. Just figured I’d let everyone know.

The message a disappointingly large segment of Americans need to absorb…but won’t before it’s too late.
![Laughing quietly
as you follow the thing
destroying all in its way.
& then it turns
and sees you.

If y'all really think the same man who delayed stimulus checks to millions of desperate Americans, just so the checks would have his signature on it, wouldn't intentionally ban an app, so that he could come back and "save" that same app and play the hero, you haven't been paying attention.

Anyone else feeling oddly lost and heartbroken? I was mostly a lurker on TikTok, when I did post it was never of my face and always book content but it feels now like I’ve lost a part of myself. My Booktok community hopefully finds me once more

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

Cheonggyecheon is proof that removing highways can make cities better. 20 years ago, Seoul replaced concrete with a stream, and the results are remarkable: cooler temperatures, cleaner air, and 12 million visitors annually.

‘Everyone thought it would cause gridlock’: the highway that Seoul turned into a stream
Cheonggyecheon stream in the South Korean capital has become an attraction – and helps with flood management, fighting air pollution and cooling the city

I’m honestly going to miss the community I’ve come to call my safe space. This ban and the next few that are coming (and we all know which apps are getting chopped next) are so restrictive and cruel. Cutting off our ability to communicate in meaning and powerful ways.
