January has been the month of reconnecting with people I care deeply about. Platonic love is just as vast and innumerous and matters deeply to me <3<3<3

Wish I had read more historical literature stuff. I need some etiquette scripts.

I slept from about 04:45 to 07:30

So about 2 hours

Want some quiet time and watch Netflix while I eat breakfast before I do big socializing

But the thing is we are here specifically to have quality time with my grandmother

And the kitchen is the core place people spend time here

So can't exactly just sit on my phone

I don't think there is actually a polite way to not want to socialise yet

Also don't know if it's socially acceptable to want to just have a day to wander around and explore by myself, when we haven't done 'enough' bonding yet

But at some point I'm going to have to? Don't need my dad to say whether it's the plan or not

I'm just going to have to get up regardless

how do people live with their families

Idk. Just that conflict of interests between feeling like I'm supposed to 'be here' for Dadi Vs I need to do my own thing and explore. just here as a tourist Vs here as a helper.

I think also doesn't help that because the normal family home is rural, I'm accustomed to feeling like if I'm at a family home then I can't leave

But there's a bus stop right outside here.

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.
