Yeah 100%. I had to space it out between other reads.
book spoilers ish
How High We Go in the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu talks about this in one of the chapters. A disease is killing children so an amusement park was created for children to enjoy a roller coaster ride instead of dying in a hospital bed.
Currently traveling and only have access to a pourover for my morning coffee. Would I prefer an espresso? Yes. Would I rather die on espresso or nothing? No. Love thy coffee!
I don’t think there’s anything to get here. Looks like an artist’s imagination of a hallucinogenic trip. Just a fun interpretation.
What are we thinking so far?
I tried Qobuz streaming but for a product that advertises discoverability it does a very poor job of it. Bandcamp has far better discoverability UX.
Music purchases on Qobuz on the other hand are chef’s kiss. They have almost everything apart from the rare artist who ONLY distribute through Spotify for whatever reason.
I am NOT advocating for violence. But I know that the moment the child of an elected U.S. representative dies by gunshot is the only way this country will ever ban guns.
Whee!!! Let’s gooooooo!!!!
I see how it could be uncomfortable. From one internet stranger to another, I hope you know it’s appreciated. That kind of empathy already goes a long way. It might not come out that way but I see it from here.
Some real advice for situations where you’re not quite sure how to address the ethnicity topic: you could just ask if they grew up in . If they say no, they might tell you where they grew up. If not, let it pass. Not everyone wants to talk about where they grew up. 1st generation+ Asians can be all over the place on comfort with their identity.
Also, if the vibes aren’t there, they might just not want to talk. That’s fine too.
They’re about even. Offline, people can obviously tell I’m Asian so it doesn’t make much sense to say “I’m Asian”. On the internet, I prefer a certain level of anonymity so I just go with Asian.
It’s super diverse in my city. So identifying with my ethnicity is generally an easy way to connect with others. They don’t even have to share my ethnicity. People love to ice break on ethnicity and I don’t mind that as long as they’re not trying to be weird about it.
I am Asian. There are Japanese restaurants in my city run by white people and I don’t consider it cultural appropriation. Cultural acceptability is a wide spectrum.
