Decided to stop by H Mart in Burlington to look for some things. I haven’t been to the Burlington location in years because it’s so crowded (pre-pandemic). Didn’t find what I was looking for but got steamed Korean corn (forgot to take a pic) & some Lotte citrus gum.
I’d never had Korean corn 🌽 before finding it at H Mart in Cambridge a few years ago. I love corn so I got it expecting it to taste like most corn in America. It’s a difference variety called waxy or glutinous corn.

Resisted the Hello Kitty toilet paper. 😹
There’s a gift shop called Magic Castle inside H Mart that sells #kawaii & K-pop goods. 😮
I’ve been hoping to find a shitajiki 下敷き (literally “under sheet”) for a while because I thought it might be helpful when crafting. Finally found one!

Also found Korean #origami for the first time in years. They don’t have a large selection but I got some mini paper since they’re good for modulars.
Resisted cute office supplies and bags. 😆

They cram a lot into a very small space. Glad I stopped by!
Glutinous corn from H Mart. Thumb is so you can see how large the kernels are.

1. Day 2 of livetweeting my life to show people what it's like to live with a moderate case of #MECFS. Starting a new thread because the previous one is long.

1. I'm going to attempt to livetweet my next few days to show what it's like living with a moderate case of ME/CFS. So many people just don't understand what it means to live with a post-viral illness.

I was planning to start this earlier today but I was too exhausted.
2. AMA about what I'm tweeting about or #MECFS in general. I'll try to respond to everyone but it may not be until later this week.
3. I'm currently dealing with PEM (post exertional malaise) that is particularly bad because I had to run errands on Friday and couldn't rest for a full day before a friend came over on Saturday to help me assemble some carts.

1. A few hours ago Cloudflare dropped Kiwi Farms after previously saying they would not.
cbsnews.com/news/cloudflar…

Cloudflare's message when you try to go to kiwifarms.net claims this is "Due to an imminent and emergency threat to human life...", however…
2. … Kiwi Farms founder/owner Joshua Moon posted to Telegram that “If there is any threat to life on the site, I have received no communication from any law enforcement.”

3. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Price:

“This is an extraordinary decision for us to make and, given Cloudflare's role as an Internet infrastructure provider, a dangerous one that we are not comfortable with.”

1. Student journalists reported news. Principal tried to censor + sanction advisor.

“The courts have been very clear that students working in student media are not school employees, or agents of the school in any way,” he said. “They're students telling stories, providing news.”
2. @ThePearlPost named the librarian, the only "teacher at the school [who] had opted out of vaccination and didn’t show up to work".

Read the 11/8/21 story here:

Archive in case it gets removed: web.archive.org/web/2021110903…
3. Four months after publication "school principal Armen Petrossian emailed a threat of disciplinary action to Chavira if she didn’t remove the librarian’s name by the next day."

The Pearl Post declined to remove the librarian's name and got help from @SPLC.

I'm in a really weird corner of the Internet and it's really defying expectations. I shouldn't be surprised because I've spent time here before but this is something else. 🤯

People should read more primary sources as much as possible.
Also, much respect to people who meet their trolls where they are and engage with them human to human instead of shitposter to shitposter. This takes so much courage but seems surprisingly effective when people are genuine.
I don't even want to engage with other people's trolls and try to just stick with a rule of no engagement these days.

Facing total strangers who you owe absolutely nothing to and being vulnerable in their midst on their turf is something I've never seen before.

1. Down another tangent rabbit hole tonight and thinking about credibility.
2. In any incident there are minimum of 3 sides to the story.

Assuming 2 parties, they each tell the story through their lens and then I’ll call the third side “reality”, which can't always be ascertained by observers.
3. There are always some facts which may or may not be provable but there’s also people’s motives and perceptions which can’t always be proved. So determining what “reality” is, isn’t always straightforward.
