halfcactusArt/comics
18+ BL comic with a love triangle between the main character, personified Work, and personified Vacation, now available as a digital comic on Bookwalker TW! The comics are by a Taiwanese artist and on a Taiwanese site, so text is in traditional Chinese. *adds to the pile of digital comics I want to get*
Full webtoon 隔壁同學是人魚 My Classmate is a Merman (BL) is on LINE webtoons (haven't read this one, but it looks cute)
Mostly textures and light grunge effects
Book Clubs
Join us for an international #ReadPalestine week, starting Wednesday, November 29, on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. (Free downloads from Nov 29 - Dec 5)
An online groupread for Journey to the West (bring your own book), with 2-3 chapters a week—I'm not participating but the tag seems pretty active with interesting discussion and notes.
Youtube/Videos
Palestinian baker/recipe blogger who has been recently posting their mother's recipes (but also has a large back catalogue and a written blog)—I think their Instagram might be the most updated video recipe repository right now. Videos are in English.
Filed under "videos that helped me get work done"—I like Adam Neely's video essays even though I know nothing about jazz or musical theory, especially since he’s very conscientious about attributing the history and community that continues to breathe and thrive (and thus challenging Laufey to do the same). I’ve also only ever listened to Laufey casually on music platforms and had no inkling of her MVs, marketing, internet presence, or audience (though my brother was definitely in the concert that was shown in the video—PH crowd is the best crowd ahaha), so it was really cool to see the ~story~.
As someone who has never seen any version of Into the Woods—I'm not entirely sure I'm a Sondheim kind of person either—this made me really want to watch a stage version. ;___;
Recipe shorts by a Filipino cook! I don't cook, but hers is the rare cooking content that makes me want to get cooking. Her humor/personality + recipes are all very approachable, and a lot of times familiar, with brands/ingredients that are legitimately pantry staples (I too am a canned corn enthusiast), as well as easy snacks and hacks. Recipes are in English, with occasional humorous asides in Tagalog/Taglish. She has full videos too but I mostly watch her shorts. For quick and easy Filipino street food, see: banana cue, cheesy corn in a cup
