Thoughts about Japan: I got stuck in Japan during the pandemic for 9 months without being able to fly back home. At the time, I was staying in a 6-floor hostel in Ryogoku, completely empty except for me. The staff slowly became my friends since I had no one else in Japan. After the third month of lockdown, my money ran out. They noticed the slow decay in my condition. I was eating half a meal a day. One day, out of nowhere, they called me down to the reception. There was a big box, surrounded by several smaller ones. The staff had told their friends and families about me, and together they gathered groceries and essentials to help me get through those difficult months. There were even handmade face masks someone had sewn because they were impossible to find in stores. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that I broke down in tears. From that day on, more than friends, we became family. Japan and its people embraced me when I was at my lowest point. It healed something in me when I needed it the most. Thank you Japan.

@ogcgocj Yeah but that lasted for less than a second, namgyu immeditaly realized he had (rightfully so tbh) nothing to gain from minsu

@MrsSpiceySwoon Namgyu thought he was helping him or somthing when he ask if he was ok ofc he didn't thought minsu steal his pills

I'm adding other things because I've discovered that they are truly very similar in their fates🧵

Day 1. First night together #THANGYUWEEK #THANGYUWEEK2026

there's something very beautiful about reading about the same two people falling in love over and over again in so many different ways

每次去中国，心里都会有一种很复杂的感觉。 一边感叹： “中国真方便。” 另一边又忍不住想： “这到底是谁在替我们负重前行？” 凌晨两点能点外卖，二十分钟送到； 快递比人起得早； 打车便宜到司机都怀疑人生； 保洁、维修、跑腿，价格低得像活在2010年。 很多人会把这一切总结成一句： “中国效率真高。” 但待久一点，就会慢慢发现： 有时候，不是效率高， 而是“人太便宜了”。 ⸻ 一、外卖为什么便宜？ 因为有人在替你燃烧人生。 十几块的外卖，三四块配送费，半小时送到。 很多人已经习惯了这种速度。 一旦晚五分钟，甚至会觉得平台“退步了”。 但问题来了： 如果这真的是一门赚钱的好生意，为什么骑手普遍每天工作10小时以上？为什么那么多人边送外卖边透支身体？ 因为所谓“中国式便利”，很多时候不是靠技术降成本，而是靠劳动者压缩自己的人生。 法国思想家西蒙娜·薇依说： “一切廉价商品背后，都藏着看不见的劳动者。” 中国社会最神奇的一点在于： 大家一边心疼底层， 一边拼命点“9块9包邮”。 ⸻ 二、中国最便宜的，其实是“人” 在很多发达国家，人工贵得离谱。 水管工上门一次几百刀； 搬个家像在请私人保镖； 外卖送到门口，价格够在中国吃两顿火锅。 很多人因此得出结论： “还是中国好。” 但换个角度看： 为什么别的国家人工贵？ 因为劳动者有更高工资、更完整保障、更正常的休息权。 而中国很多行业之所以“便宜”，本质上是劳动者议价能力太弱。 于是就出现一种很魔幻的画面： 手机越来越高级 高铁越来越快 平台越来越智能 但普通人越来越累 科技在狂奔， 人却在“续命”。 ⸻ 三、“便利”的代价，是整个社会越来越卷 为什么中国什么都能卷成白菜价？ 因为所有人都在拼命互相压价。 商家卷； 平台卷； 骑手卷； 司机卷； 连咖啡都卷到“9块9拯救世界”。 最后消费者确实爽了。 但问题是： 谁赚到钱了？ 很多行业已经卷到一种荒诞程度： 老板没利润； 员工没生活； 消费者没未来。 只有平台数据越来越漂亮。 英国作家George Orwell曾说过： “有些制度最厉害的地方，在于它让人逐渐习惯不合理。” 慢慢地，大家开始默认： 加班正常 单休正常 35岁失业正常 骑手闯红灯正常 “已读不回但秒回客户”也正常 整个社会像一台高速运转的机器。 唯一需要适应机器的，恰恰是人。 ⸻ 四、真正高级的社会，不是“什么都便宜” 很多人去中国后都会说： “中国生活成本低，幸福感高。” 但一个更扎心的问题是： 这种低成本，是建立在谁的牺牲之上？ 美国总统Franklin D. Roosevelt曾说： “没有一个企业有权建立在贫困工资之上。” 可现实却是： 我们已经渐渐习惯了： 快递员没时间吃饭； 骑手冒雨冲红灯； 工厂12小时两班倒； 年轻人一边996，一边担心失业。 然后大家再一起感叹： “中国真方便。” ⸻ 所以，每次去中国，最让人五味杂陈的，从来不是物价。 而是你会忽然发现： 这个社会的“高效率”，很多时候并不是因为所有人都过得更好了。 而是因为，总有人在用更低的工资、更长的工时、更少的保障，替整个社会承担成本。 城市依旧灯火通明； 外卖依旧准时送达； 只有那些奔波的人，慢慢被系统磨成了“正常现象”。 而最讽刺的是： 当所有人都在歌颂“便利”时， 已经很少有人会认真问一句： “送餐的那个人，今天过得好吗？”

another mother's day where my cats didn't get me SHIT

"Les gens qui aiment les chats rêvent d'un monde tranquille et doux. Les gens qui aiment les chats n'ont pas peur du silence. Les gens qui aiment les chats adorent l'indépendance qu'ils ont, car cela leur garantit leur propre liberté. Les gens qui aiment les chats font semblant d'être adultes et gardent secrètement une envie de ne pas grandir..." Anny Duperey Illustration : Kitty Bouchaut

Taking a midday nap alongside your cat is so special like yes please show me your culture

80s and the present. I would prefer the 80s.

I missed the last train in Seoul once. Phone at 3%. Didn’t speak Korean. It was raining, freezing, and I had no idea where I was supposed to go. I tried calling an Uber but my card kept failing because of my bank fraud protection. Perfect timing. I was standing outside the station looking completely defeated when this older woman walked up to me and started speaking Korean. I told her I didn’t understand. She pulled out her phone translator and typed:“You are lost?” I nodded. She asked where I was staying, looked at the address, then motioned for me to follow her. This woman walked me almost 15 minutes through side streets, holding her umbrella over both of us while I apologized every thirty seconds. When we got to my hotel, I tried offering her cash for helping me. She looked genuinely offended. Typed into the translator again:“If my son was lost somewhere, I hope someone helps him too.” Then she bowed and walked away in the rain before I could even process what happened. Some places still treat strangers like human beings first.
