Having intersectional minority identities in the West does not, unfortunately, confer enhanced appreciation of nuance in identities abroad. Non-Western experiences and identities are ignored or flattened. One even finds people weaponize their minority status in the West against minorities abroad.

Two things must happen to optimise public transport in Jakarta:
- Ensure a distributed, integrated, and punctual network of all transport services.
- Encourage a transport-first culture for all passengers.

It's so interesting how with the different languages you know or are fluent in, you're good in and need improvement in different areas. I have a wider vocabulary in English than in Mandarin, but I can probably explain Mandarin grammar rules better than English ones. #langsky

The animated illustration style of GoFood’s preparation flow in the #Gojek app is very endearing.
I have long-term plans to divest from using food delivery and ride hailing entirely, so I’m going to miss these experiences when the time comes.

…proves the “We Miss #Twitter 1.0” cohort only want spaces that do not have actual Humanity™ in it.

There is something really charming about the Guangzhou City God Temple. It's tiny, and isn't really a tourist attraction. From what I overheard, most people there are locals who happens to be in the area and decides to pray for a few minutes. Things are everywhere here, it's messy but lived in.
