@eechentx Dude, lao kids love Starbucks . Lol

@MangoSodium “Starbucks” 😉

Watched a video about some dude wanting to show off "Real Laos" off the beaten path. It starts with him going to Buddha park, one of the most touristic places on the outskirts of our city. 🪷🤣

@eechentx I dunno, because even the most touristic places are still really Laos lol

@MangoSodium Where is “Fake Laos” then?

@GingerGorman ✋🏼

Women and non-binary folks. Please raise your hand 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you have been told to shut up or talked over by a man. It can be online or irl. I’m just interested in how universal this experience is. This is question for my next book, Flying not Falling.

As a former manicurist, I'm confused by this viral "Russian Manicure" trend with an extra charge. I looked it up- It's just a regular old dry manicure, which is actually something we did when we were in a hurry. Why is it viral and why is it called that now? It's just a manicure.

So... Besides the fucked up accusations of immigrants eating cats and dogs being thrown around in the US, I'm hearing commentators and pundits also adding ducks and geese like it's so also shocking. Last I checked, duck and geese were not only delicious, but really good eats.

@viajeycine Chiang Mai this time is safe, but Chiang Rai & Nong Khai are under water. Sucks. It also causes a lot of anxiety that we can literally SEE Nong Khai across the river being flooded, and then we look down at the water seeping onto the roads, but only 5cm deep and think, we're next.

@MangoSodium Ugh that sucks, had the same situation 2 years ago in Chiang Mai. Best of luck!

We didn't flood last night, but we're all exhausted from the anticipation of "will it won't it" nights. Look at these two, watching us check the water levels on the road instead of sleeping.

Canadian here. We don’t have prayer in schools, or the Ten Commandments, or God. We also don’t have dead kids. No Canadian child has ever died in a mass shooting in an elementary school. We have guns. What we don’t have is Republicans. American has to get rid of Republicans.

Wtf is @4everBrandy immortal or something? She's so talented, seems very kind, and somehow also forever gorgeous... Share your beauty secrets queen!

I wish people wouldn't favorably compare my work to the works I really dislike. When folks admiringly say that I must have been inspired by said filmmaker's works, I physically want to vomit. I guess anything quiet and South East Asian gets compared to that though.

Low key getting more averse to leaving the house and dealing with people.

@gingras_alex He likes being around us, we can pick him up and move him places, he sleeps with me at my ankles every night, he just doesn't like to be pet or touched.

@MangoSodium Just a little question out of curiosity: Even if he bites, does he still display some kindness sometimes? Is he able to get closer to some people without biting?

My neighbor Totoro... Or pickle-ro. He's growing up to be so handsome.

@TaniaZee8888 @YooongisTongue @hailieshouse @ask_aubry Sounds like, "Occidentals, they're just so special, they don't do lowly migrant labor things like the poor browns." Never cease to be impressed by how well some Asian minds were colonized. Seeking love, opportunity, & work is just sooo low, these passport bros don't deserve that.

@MangoSodium @YooongisTongue @hailieshouse @ask_aubry Poor Ph domestic helpers don't pay their own tix either. They go through placement agencies & the employer pays for arrival/departure. You're just being obtuse. Acquiring a passport is easy for Americans too. Ppl from US & Western Europe don't move to other nations to do menial

Passport Bros so mad their Filipina wives aren't submissive. 😒

@TaniaZee8888 @YooongisTongue @hailieshouse @ask_aubry Ok, wait, is this all just a long winded way of saying that you blame women from less developed country for marrying douchey passport bros? This is borderline FILTH mentality... Except not a Londoner. (Failed in London, Trying in Hong Kong.)

@MangoSodium @YooongisTongue @hailieshouse @ask_aubry The QoL, infra access to services & ameneties in developed countries is far superior to those of emerging econs. That's why you don't see US or Western EU poor doing janitorial work in other rich nations. You are speaking anecdotally. The reality of migration trumps your claims.

@TaniaZee8888 @YooongisTongue @hailieshouse @ask_aubry Poor tent dwelling Americans couldn't even afford a ticket to fly from Los Angeles to Texas, much less to Hong Kong, one of the most expensive places in the world, to work as a domestic employee. Neither do most tent dwelling Americans have passports. Lmfao

@MangoSodium @YooongisTongue @hailieshouse @ask_aubry All the ppl telling me I'm out of touch. I live in HK where there's a significant domestic helper population. Why aren't "poor" tent-dwelling Americans working as maids here pray tell?

@gingras_alex That is my bitey asshole cat.

@MangoSodium SO ADORABLE 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍! However, I hope he doesn't bite like your cat 😆😆.

@LDonivan @hailieshouse @ask_aubry They're not using their half of a brain cell to even think of anything that potentially empathetic. They just think we're all desperate for white bread out here in South East Asia.

@hailieshouse @ask_aubry Tbf the Philippines is a free country, but the passport bros probably think women there don't have rights or something.

@YooongisTongue @TaniaZee8888 @hailieshouse @ask_aubry That person has probably never even traveled to South East Asia. It's ironic because even in "poor" parts of Philippines and Laos, it's ultra rare to see anyone living in a tent or box on the street. We poors in developing countries also eat better than poor Americans too.

@TaniaZee8888 @hailieshouse @ask_aubry American poor is people living on the streets in tents and wasn't able to afford basic healthcare but sure, keep going 🤡
