There’s Something In Gray And Lucy’s Relationship Which Can’t Be Describe In Words. It Is Just

This is a map of Asia. North Americans, you may notice this map is not solely comprised of Japan, Korea, China and Thailand. People in the UK, you may notice India is not  a continent. That is, if those of you who generalize entire continents can even pinpoint India on a map. Indians are Asian, gasp! And not all brown skinned people are Indian, also, gasp! There are an alarming amount of people, of all ages, from all backgrounds, who seem to be unable to process this.

I’m ethnically Asian. Since Asia is an extremely large continent, I could be from any number of countries. I am neither from India, China, Korea, Japan or Pakistan, yet not so surprisingly, I am still Asian. 

Yes, there are commonalities across regions, through the conflation of cultures, colonialism, globalization, transnationalism and movement of diasporas. Sometimes these are all the same thing. Rickshaws, rice and curry can be found across the continent. But let’s not overgeneralize. You can also find Buddhists, Catholics, Muslims and Hindus across Asia. Cantonese Speaking Chinese Muslims! English Speaking Indian Jews! 

No, we are not all the same. Orientalism? (Please look up Edward Said for basic concepts) No thank you. 

Geography, people. It’s important. 

with everything that’s going on with bon apetit, i thought i’d just share some of my favorite recipe-based youtube channels run by people of color

just one cookbook - a super wide variety of japanese recipes. easy step-by-steps and all the recipes i’ve tried have been delicious

souped up recipes -  chinese recipes - very informative videos and tasty food - i love her personality too

maangchi - who doesn’t love maangchi. delicious korean recipes and a fabulous personality

get curried - a huge variety of recipes from various regions of india 

simply mama cooks - my fav for tejano food. i believe she’s a mexicana married into a korean family, and draws a lot from that

immaculate bites - mostly quick ‘tasty’ style video recipes focusing on southern us, african, and carribean foods. easy and delicious stuff!

stove top kisses - fun and delicious recipes and the videos are super fun to watch - mostly american food

j kenji lopez alt - author of the book ‘the food lab’ - he’s maybe my favorite recipe developer out there. all kinds of food and hes super knowledgeable

i hope everyone with acne, eczema, vitiligo, psoriasis, dermatitis, and skin conditions have a good day today

Catradora x Scary/Scared Gay Energy

STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT WINTEAM AHHHH!!

The book uwma is based off of is a very deanpharm focused one so of course it’s going to be more deanpharm than anything else. It has a story to tell, and it’s going to tell it. Do I want more manow and winteam? Yes I do, but I’m not going to throw a fit when they don’t show up.

I get being frustrated with it, trust me the rest of the gang definitely deserve more screen time than they’re given, but you shouldn’t say that the series is terrible because of that. Uwma has actually flipped a lot of bl stereotypes and has definitely left a mark on the history of bl.

Please recognize the achievements of uwma and not just linger on how some characters aren’t shown as often as you’d like.

Has anyone ever brought up biting or licking a Popsicle or ice cream on this website?

I bite them. Same with lollipops. People are horrified.
