“fake medicine for white people” is definitely a concern here too 🫣 my chinese american doctor had to sit my mom down and be like “your child would have DIED of an infection now take this prescription”

i read this article and now i have a lot of thoughts about how vulnerable young chinese people are to AI therapy because 1) parents have cultural beliefs about how affirmation is bad for their children and 2) professional therapy is seen as a waste of money. it’s embarrassing to pay money for it.

“Imagine having a therapist available 24/7, who never judges you and is completely free.”

i think peter thiel writing about one piece speaks more to its place in mainstream culture than the inherent right-wing cringeness of anime but what should i know, i’m just a lowly culture writer

tried to get back into digital painting but i bought an apple pencil that was incompatible with my ipad model.

this is why it’s never a good idea to try new things. stay in a cycle of old habits forever.

just checked out murakami’s latest book at the library. read his description of a teenage girl in the first chapter, and then immediately checked the book back in. somehow i thought he would have outgrown this literary trait of his 😭 it’s ok i can read the other books i found

just extremely grotesque to see how many people don’t believe writers should prioritize being able to pay their rent, just as they would prioritize paying theirs

i hate the talking point of “game journalists should help indies” first of all press is not here to help devs they are here to feed their families, second of all how dare— (i am dragged away by all of my well meaning friends)
