Appreciating the kpop thread in Ngozi Ukazu's "Flip."
Graphic novel panel of a young, Black, bespectacled high school teacher reflecting, "Now, Sparklee, that was a k-pop band. Each of them had an idiosyncratic style (vocab word)." Three of his students pass judgment: "You are so old," and, "Ew, they're all, like...thirty." Headshots of four very sparkly and fashionable idol boys flirt at the reader from the corner of the page.

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness.

Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

At the eye doc ordering reading glasses, and the clerk chirped, "Do you read a lot?" and I said, "Oh, yes!" and she said, "What are you reading right now?" and in my herculean, gear-grinding effort to avoid saying, "Stray Kids werewolf porn!" I blue-screened and forgot every title ever printed.

Seems like a day for an old wangxian bedsharing excerpt from The Eternal WIP.
The jingshi's sparse decor presented a brief quandary. "Ah?" said Wei Wuxian as Lan Wangji shut the door behind them and crossed the room in the dark. Wei Wuxian fumbled with his shoes. "Now what, Lan Zhan? Your bed is too small for two grown men, unless you want to wake with me sprawled halfway across your chest." "I will sleep on the mat in the alcove, as I did after you were injured at Koi Tower. It is perfectly comfortable." He was already taking blankets from a cupboard. "You will not!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed, hurrying over and flapping his hands. "I was, listen, I wasn't coming up the hill to bother you! Just to—aiyah, just to sleep on your roof; you know I've done it before; I like roofs! Lan Zhan! You can't let me barge into your house and kick you out of your own bed, I'll never sleep if you do. I'll lie awake, wracked with guilt. I'll take the mat." "Then I will wake with you on my chest," said Lan Wangji, and turned to the armoire to strip off his robes. Wei Wuxian gawped. Lan Wangji turned back, holding his birch comb in one hand, and this time the moonlight filtering through the window showed a hint of uncertainty on his face, as if his forwardness had just caught up with him. His eyes flicked down. "Unless..." Unless we are both nearly too foolish to exist in each other's company, and one or the other of us should flee back into the night before further damages occur. "No," said Wei Wuxian, and poked him in the shoulder with two fingers. "I am always cold, and you're like a Qinghe hearth log. If you're really forewarned and willing, how can I resist you?" He smiled up at him. "Sit," said Lan Wangji, and gestured with the comb. Wei Wuxian hadn't bothered to braid his hair for sleep, only pulled it into a ponytail as he'd left the guesthouse. Lan Wangji angled himself behind him, one knee on the bed, and untied his red ribbon. With slow strokes, he combed his hair and braided it. "Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian sighed. "Hush," said Lan Wangji. But after a pause, he spoke again. "When A-Yuan was little, he liked to play in the pine woods out past the rabbit warren. Three times in as many weeks he came home with pitch in his hair." "What! Not our perfect baby radish!" "Mm. So you see, combing Wei Ying's hair is no trouble, but a pleasure." Too sleepy and doted upon to unpack the several layers of teasing lurking in those mild words, Wei Wuxian only hummed and pressed himself against Lan Wangji's hands. They slept together in Lan Wangji's ludicrously small bed for the rest of the month. It wasn't ideal. Lan Wangji woke every night in the depths of chou shi, and meditated for an hour before returning to sleep. Wei Wuxian, like most cultivators, habitually did the same, only closer to the start of yin shi, since he went to bed later. Now, though, the stress and exhaustion of the month had caught up with him, and he slept without pause. It would have been fine, except, once asleep, he clung, trapping Lan Wangji with his full weight, and fingers that had to be pried one by one from the fabric of Lan Wangji's nightshirt. Wei Wuxian woke more than once to find his friend in the middle of this process, softly, patiently extricating himself from the Yiling Laozu's vile clutches so that he could seat himself in the pool of moonlight a few steps away. "Ohfucksorry," Wei Wuxian mumbled, and rolled face down into the vacated warm spot. "Hush," said Lan Wangji.

It would be so fucking funny if it was Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixuan who got stuck in the cave instead of Lan Wangji

Last week I hung out with a man obsessed with KPDH and in sore need of kpop recs, and a woman who nodded sagely and sent him to Stray Kids, so when I got home I looked them up and, as I suspect is common, got jump-scared by the one who looks like the prettiest princess and sounds like a coal miner.

this is the funniest thing i've ever seen
sixthtone 亮曹 陵操 a bunch of ibuprofen on cao cao's tomb: One of the more visible examples appeared in central Henan province. At the tomb of Cao Cao, a warlord said to suffer from migraines and a central figure in the classic Chinese novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," visitors began leaving ibuprofen. One visitor left four different kinds, telling domestic media it was just in case one didn't work, or the warlord had built up a tolerance. As the gifts began to pile up, museum staff set up a small shelf near the tomb to collect them, along with handwritten letters addressed to the warlord.

Youtube just recced a kpop youth covering Taemin's MOVE, and I clicked because I love that choreo and it's always fun to see people tackle it. It was a heroic attempt; he's good. I immediately dashed off to rewatch one of Taemin's live shows, then unplugged my headphones and

Screencap of text thread. Speaker 1 (me): I would be thrilled about a GF treat, if it's easy to acquire. I also have to stay away from large servings of stone fruit and a tiresome list of vegetables, but I'm carrying lactaid pills around in an ongoing dairy experiment. Where, oh where, did all my carb-dissolving enzymes gooo? *warbles* Speaker 2: *Borg voice* YOU WILL BE ACCOMMODATED

Seeking recs for Asian dramas whose narratives treat the FL as fully powerful, capable and active as the ML. Not, "Almost," or, "Well, she would be, except he's got 5 years on her," or, "Sure, except he has better intel." Who don't trip over a cobblestone and swoon into the hero's arms even once.
