ok all, from now on my color matches with paint names are gonna go in the tag #TheAutumnGraceCollection, “autumn grace” being of course an extremely HGTV-worthy translation of my chinese name that makes this all sound very boutique décor

#TheAutumnGraceCollection 0107 KB, Chaparral Jade, a muted green-gray, evoking rolling hills of coastal sagebrush on an overcast day

every day I feel more and more grateful that I went to a large public school that nonetheless took a liberal arts approach, it was just such a good setting for encouraging inquisitiveness, and it makes me sad carolina’s had so much trashfire lately

I feel like a lot of schools outside the South just sort of take education for granted, in a way, by assuming that everyone’s coming from a certain level of prestige with a certain “wholeness” to their psyches—without baggage, with a tabula rasa

but in the South there was a baseline understanding that a whole swath of the population has been derided, marginalized, and told they’re inferior simply for existing in the South, and there was a lot more like… deconstructing that, I guess, questioning such norms

tbh at this point I want to make a Social Media & Digital Hygiene course to explain things like link tracking, outrage traffic, and all the places where private identifying information is stored e.g. on Twitter that people simply aren’t even aware about

I would make it so accessible, even a boomer dinosaur would understand 😑

it would also include self-moderation tools and tips to curate your space and make it more pleasing and enjoyable, as well as DBT techniques to counter secondhand trauma and also social media-induced depression & anxiety

my favorite thing about sinosphere bylines is you’ll have 3-character names like Liu Cixin, 2-character names like Xia Jia, nicknames like A Que, then 4-character pseudonyms like The Scent of Ink, The Stench of Money, alongside handles like Ash Fox and mononymic ones like Dhew

then you start adding in diasporic bylines that incorporate western names, but do them in different orders depending on locale and context, there’s me as S. Qiouyi Lu but then bylines like Xueting Christine Ni but also Rafaela Yilun Fan

but then singaporeans do different orders such as Western Name, Family Name, Chinese Name that put both surname orderings into a hybrid format that’s accurate for each convention

working theory: my executive dysfunction gets worse in the winter because I have less sunlight (which in ADHD brain is “time the world is awake to do things”) and more night time (which in ADHD brain is “time for 2am ZOOMIES, by which I mean HYPERFOCUS AND INSOMNIA”)

we tend to have disrupted biorhythms where we naturally hit a second wind like late at night, so more night, obviously, makes us even more disrupted

currently I work a 5:30am to 2:30pm shift, so I go to work before the sun rises, get 1 hour of sunlight during lunch, and 2 hours of sunlight after work, of which 1 is spent commuting, so, tl;dr, it’s time to get a sun lamp and do the opposite of my summer regulation cycle
