I find it fascinating that birds just come with engineering instructions.

Currently watching sunbirds build a nest at my balcony and I always wonder how they know how to do what they do

Ps: Realise that people thought this were the birds I am talking about lol. No, these are taken from xiaohongshu, and these are magpies.

The sunbirds in my apartment are here https://hachyderm.io/@liztai/114141713495884327

I am mostly a self taught cook, though I know some Peranakan dishes. But I avoided cooking them especially for personal consumption because, have you tried cooking them? Bloody hell a dish that consumed in minutes take hours to do . So in my family, our inherited Peranakan dishes are only done for special occasions like Chinese New Year.

I like simple dishes, so my cooking has evolved into a mesh of Chinese and Peranakan styles. I love veges, avoid too much oil and like using as little number of spices as possible. To my surprise a lot of people on #xiaohongshu cook the way I do and I got so many ideas from them. One similar trait we share is stir frying garlic with chill - and then adding meat or veges. It solves everything

* I know I know this is hard to translate because there's three languages in that sentence, typical Malaysian speak, but just know that I have cute aggression

The best thing about #Xiaohongshu is that I can now get fed by authentic Chinese cooking videos. I am obsessed!

Three good things.

I finally got my hair cut by a professional at an actual salon.

I went out for a meal with my daughter and it was fun. The food was good, we had a giggle, really nice evening.

I've been sleeping better. Waking less in the night. Maybe it's my new Chinese medicine tea. And if it is, then that's all thanks to #xiaohongshu

It's amazing how quickly my reading has improved just by reading #xiaohongshu posts. The characters stick with you the more often you see them. Your brain recognizes the pattern repetitions and just engraves the character into your mind.

How to Overcome Social Media Trauma Dumping | Psychology Today

Trauma dumping - I learned this new term thanks to, ironically, #xiaohongshu

I feel like trauma dumping isn't a thing in Chinese social media. Not many people share their traumas, sadness, and fears on social media there. Being angry at something, yes, but sharing their sorrow and pain and personal problems? Not as big as English social media. "Face" is important to the Chinese after all.

When US folks started joining XHS in came the posts I was dreading. One US poster repeated "I am scared" over and over again.

I have a feeling Chinese folks don't know what to do about these posts and have been asking the Americans why they're doing this out of concern.

Then came Americans asking other Americans to stop "trauma dumping".

And that's how I learned about this term lol

Since a bunch of people are on XHS now, I'd like to share one of my most favorite artists of all time who is a Chinese illustrator who often designs stationery.

The travel advisory to China from the Canadian govt is hilarious lol

Ps: This is one of my fav #Xiaohongshu follows btw. Highly recommend

Are Western social media platforms like #X, #Facebook, Instagram etc just meaner? Is Chinese social media like #xiaohongshu better? Not really. But I can say one thing for sure: #Mastodon remains my favourite social media.

I love this dorky trend of people dressing up like those Spring Festival gala dancing robots on #xiaohongshu

I have 2 sides

I'm decentralizing my #social #media.

Email/Calendar: #Proton.me
Browser/Search Engine: #DuckDuckGo
Social Media: #BlueSky & #Mastadon ( #Pixelfed)
TikTok Replacement: #Xiaohongshu
#Spotify Replacement: #SoundCloud

Now to further #decentralize my technology & #media from corrupt/lobbying entities, I need to get #GooglePhotos / #GSuite out of the mix.

Any #suggestions?

A few days ago I commented that the Chinese on #Xiaohongshu are sensitive about #ChineseNewYear being called Lunar New Year.
I promised I will find the content explaining why.
Lunar calendar - Islamic calendar. Chinese calendar - lunarsolar.
Interestingly, President Obama may be the source of the Lunar New Year term.
I think due to the massive influence of English around the world this term started being used widely, which shows how culture can be influenced/misinterpreted like this. I think the Chinese are upset that someone can just come and rename their festival like this.
(fyi not every Chinese is offended by this btw. Generally Chinese in Malaysia don't seem as bothered, tho we call it CNY).
