Trying to avoid stupid online arguments about Taiwan. (No promises though, because I am me 😂).
So for now I'll just say:
The only people whose opinions on Taiwan truly matter to me are the citizens of Taiwan. Here's recent survey data about Taiwanese views on sovereignty and identity.

Ok, I'm reading The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir and I'm not quite to the end yet, but I think I'm beginning to see where it's going and...WHY??? 😢 (I know, I know, horror is SUPPOSED to be horrifying and I got myself into this willingly so I have no one to blame but myself)

Highly recommend Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. 💜
"Was it possible to carry on along through all the years, the decades, through an entire life, without once being brave enough to go against what was there and yet call yourself a Christian, and face yourself in the mirror?"

FINALLY, a leader who will stand up to Big Vanity and Big Upholstery. For too long, the safety of the American people has been compromised by multinational furniture corporations. NOT ANYMORE! Take that, Antifa.

As far as I'm concerned, 馬告豆干 is the best snack ever. It's my current obsession. I could eat it for every meal.

Was in the shower. I've never gotten dressed so fast in my life 👀
After over 12 years in Taiwan, earthquakes still haven't gotten less scary to me. In fact, after that big one last year, I think I'm more anxious about them than ever 😅

It was WAY TOO HOT and there was too much traffic (so the drive was extra long) and my hip hurts when I sit for more than a few minutes, but we saw cute capybaras and deer and had cute ice cream so it was worth it. Mostly. 🤣

Well, that made me glad I'm moving to a lower floor soon.

At my in-laws' house in Taichung. Kiddo is off playing with Amah, so I'm taking this opportunity to work on my current crochet in peace 😌

Decided to try Watermelon Margarita Crystal Light today.
Turns out it tastes very much like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. 10/10 would drink again.

Taichung air raid drill time!
Didn't realize it was happening today because we don't live in central taiwan...until a police officer scolded us for being out on the street. Oops...👀

Google has changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico worldwide. "Gulf of America" for US users, "Gulf of Mexico" for Mexican users, and this monstrosity everywhere else. Such a brainless waste of time and resources. Why can't right-wingers see that they're being played?

My husband got me the mug for Christmas! THE mug I've been wanting. I can't wait to drink my coffee out of this tomorrow. I am genuinely very excited about this. 😍

Yesterday, I went to The Escape Artist in Daan District. It's a cafe and art space. You pay based on the size of the canvas you choose, and then you have free reign over the paint and supplies there. They also sell drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. It was a great time! Highly recommend!

East meets west: OTC cold and flu treatment edition. Feeling all cozy and warm and ready for bed now. Everyone in the family is coming down with mild (but still very irritating) colds. Hope it'll pass quickly. 🤞🏻
