Temperatures are so high in Japan this summer that the beautiful food models they have are melting

After 8 months at this job I have become the sort of person who says random marine facts (‘did you know some southern sea otters eat so much purple sea urchin that their skulls turn purple’) at parties

After 8 years..?

I’m begging people to also see that poverty is not a crime, but choosing not to house people should be

Why I live where I live (the shittiest, but also most immigrant neighborhood in SF, the one that’s in YouTube in all of your ‘San Francisco is a hell hole videos): I go downstairs to get a bag of rice. There are many brands I want. There are large bulbs of banana flowers in the grocery store. The auntie gives me a free bag, speaks my native language, asks about my mother and tells me about her cousin’s immigration woes. I walk home. I stop at a noodle shop to say hello. An old lady who can no longer hear, looks into her bag and gives me a snack. I give her a can of something that I just got from the store. Her daughter tells me where everybody has been for their vacation. I tell them about my immigration success, and they give me more snacks.

All of this happens within approximately 250 ft from my home.

Starting a thread about my life with Cookie, while she’s in intensive care right now in San Francisco. She’s still conscious, but it’s not looking great. Even if she gets to come home I think it’s time to prepare to say goodbye to her.

1. This was the very first time I saw her.

I was 24 years old. I’d just moved to Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. With the first serious girlfriend I had. We thought it’d be a great idea to get a dog.

I took a pic of the moment I saw Cookie in Damansara Uptown
