FYI: For folks in Taiwan who want a dedicated earthquake alert app beyond the government mobile alerts, KNY is quite useful. Be sure to adjust the settings to your location and notification preferences (otherwise you’ll get loud alerts for even the baby quakes).

HUGE earthquake in Taitung just now. I’m shivering from the fright.

Got this disaster preparedness booklet dropped into my mailbox this morning, and its pleasing design made its anxiety-inducing contents slightly more palatable. 😬

Keep getting these typhoon wind warnings. Finally went to the website explaining the scale — we’re at level 14, which sounds about right based on the racket that wind outside is making. Stuff strewn all over the street outside my house already.

Turns out this warning was warranted. The rain is alright but the wind out there is fierce right now. Sounds like a plane taking off over and over. Strongest typhoon I’ve experienced in some years. Power is flickering.
First time seeing this particular warning during a typhoon. This one is shaping up to be a biggie.

The typhoon day started off with a surprise in my kitchen! 🐍
Thank goodness for a good landlord who has a snake guy on speed dial. Didn’t like the part where I had to help lift the furniture to get the rest of it loose, but thankful it’s gone now. *shudder*

A little rattle down here in Taitung. First time getting the mobile earthquake alert in a couple of months. Could tell it was local before the data was published because there wasn’t a peep on my timeline about it. XD

President Donald Trump has paused imposing tariffs on small-value packages arriving from #China, apparently to give federal agencies time to sort out how to process millions of such shipments that have come through the U.S. border every day without paying taxes.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Here’s something easy you can do today. Block USA Today on Blue Sky.
If thousands of us can do it, we can have an immediate impact on their reach on social media.
