Crazy… hiding the side effects like that almost feels unethical, honestly.

Haha, probably for the same reason — me too.

上海。It’s a state-owned power company.

She was indeed pissed off. Ironically, the hard part is that, as an East Asian girl, she feels torn between being speechlessly angry and still wanting to be the top scorer. She said that she’s like Pavlov’s dog. 🫠

My friend, who’s 26, recently started working after graduation. The company held a training session for new employees, which included a written test. Afterwards, they sent out a list of everyone’s scores—ranked from highest to lowest—to all staff, to ‘motivate’ everyone to work harder. 🤯🫣🫠 #JobSky

I had the pleasure of speaking to a visiting group from the Shanghai Jiaotong University MBA program. I attempted to introduce them to U.S. influencer marketing in two hours. But of course, I spoke too much, so I wound up doing 2:20. That said, I had a terrific time.

Quote from Percival Everett, author of "James": "There is nothing more formidable to an oppressive power than someone who can think for themselves... That's why books, and free and unfettered access to knowledge, often come under threat. And that's why I believe reading is one of the most subversive and important acts we can perform."

New Job Moment 💌
This week, I walked into my workspace and found a little gift and a handwritten card — with my Chinese name on it, which I’ve read over and over — from my manager who had just come back from D.C. 🥹💖 #HigherEd

Good topic for 小红书 🫡 Actually, distinguishing the nuances in tone between may, maybe, might, should, shall, would… can be quite tricky for non-native speakers. For example, both may and might are often directly translated into Chinese as “可能” or “可以.”

Yay! I’ll also be joining the session on the 16th as a graduate to share my experience in my program.
