The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

As a Chinese person from Hong Kong I'm going to officially say this absolutely blows my mind. Here's why.

In the video, Charles and Carlos were plainly copying calligraphy stroke-by-stroke from a large image in front of them. What makes Carlos' attempt so impressive is that he's effectively gotten nearly all the proportions, starting and ending brush pressures and tail-offs, and the structure right. It's not perfect. But it's damn well near perfect.

Compare it to Charles': Charles didn't do a bad job at all, and has successfully copied many of the requisite features, but he has seen each stroke as a line, as many people who write Chinese characters with ballpoint pens do nowadays - point A to point B, with natural loss of shape and flow in between. It's not necessarily a problem. Charles is writing the characters. But interestingly, Carlos isn't writing at all.

On rewinding the video you see why Carlos' was shaped so perfectly. He doesn't know Chinese. He doesn't know anything about stroke order, or speed. But he knows detail.

If you look at his hands as he writes he separated each stroke into a shape. Then he did his level best to recreate each shape as carefully as he could by pressing the brush until he could see it formed the right thickness of the line.

He didn't write, like Charles did. He painted.

If this is how good Carlos is at copying a language he does not know I wonder how amazing he would be at painting if he actually spent time to learn.

Broke: Seon-hwa's mother-in-law hated her / blamed her for her son's death / whatever and turned her out of the house after Ssang-min died, which was why Seon-hwa emigrated instead of staying at her in-laws

Woke: Seon-hwa and her mother-in-law had a legitimately good relationship, but she died at some point prior to Seon-hwa leaving Joseon, which meant there were no in-laws left for her to stay with

Bespoke: Seon-hwa and her mother-in-law left Joseon together in a Ruth and Naomi type of situation, and it was only after the madam died in Hong Kong that Seon-hwa was offered the opportunity to move to London by Mr Hardwick, who was there on business

i like how yo-kai watch is in an awkward state of popularity where it's not super popular but it's popular enough to get crossovers with like. final fantasy and sanrio and shit. kind of amusing-

"pro democracy" democracy is when you support a rapist and protests that wanted to balkanize an entire country. otherwise ur right lol.

yeah that is definitely why AAA Game Studio & Publisher Blizzard-Activision banned a Hearthstone player and punished the two commentators who just so happened to fucking be there for saying 'Liberate Hong Kong'. Bobby Kotick just really hates balkanization and definitely hates rapists. your brain is huge buddy.

I would like to state for the record that I love and respect the librarians at my uni so if they decide to strike me down for requesting approximately 50 books--like half of those via Interlibrary Loan--in the course of the past of 2 hours, that is their right
