What can a Taipei bookstore tell us about the race for mayor?

A short observational (if unscientific) thread🧵1/12 Top left, we have former Health Minister Chen Shih-Chung’s “Warm Charisma”. It highlights the image of a steady hand at the helm who guided the country through the pandemic. The band is green like the ruling DPP, with the words “Only Authorized Bio of Chen”. 2/12

Can we talk about “foreigners” in Taiwan? Today (12/18) is International Migrants Day, so it’s a good day to do this! (thread) When people in Taiwan say “foreigner” (外國人), what they usually mean is “white people”, also known as 老外. This essentially removes a massive population of people from the conversation.

Today, this is what I brought to the studio for #FeastMeetsWest You can probably see the 椪餅 postpartum pastry stamped with the 林, for a show about the storied Hayashi Dept. Store in Tainan. And in the cooler bag is... ... a homemade sweet potato pie with brown sugar and miso in the filling, and a black sesame + chocolate cookie crumb crust. Caramel colored sweet potato pie with a jet black chocolate cookie and black sesame crust.
