2024 Paris Olympics: Chinese Taipei Team Uniform

Designed by JUST IN XX 周裕穎

Chou turned the artwork “Mountain Range of Taiwan” by Taiwanese artist Paul Chiang into a beautiful printed fabric for the suits, the blue waves representing the natural beauty of Taiwan’s landscape. Adorning the Olympic opening ceremony looks are lapel pins crafted by flower-weaving artisan Lin Pei-Ying, made up of the Taiwan’s national flowers, the plum and the canola blossoms, serving as a traditional token of good luck for the athletes. Meanwhile, the belt and shoe uppers were made by Artisan Yan Yu-Ying with banana fiber woven fabric, an ancient textile tradition used in Taiwan. Chou also worked with a typography designer Kokia Lin to create a print that through an optical illusion transforms the words “Chinese Taipei” into the words “Cheer On.” [Forbes]

Hollywood Fame is heading to the most magical place on earth!

Pack your bags for Walt Disney World, a place where dreams come true and a little pixie dust goes a long way! We will be staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which features exotic animals, dazzling pools, award-winning dining, and more. Who knows? You may even meet a new friend right outside your window! Under the cut, you will find the roommates list for the trip. The roommates were arranged by a RANDOM generator. Unless we got a message from you telling us you wanted to be with a specific person or your FC was listed on the ships list, you were included in the generator.  As we get more people into the roleplay, we will update the list. If you do not see your characters name on this list, please message us POLITELY and let us know! Mistakes happen, and the generator isn't perfect. Hopefully, everyone is accounted for - if not, we’ll fix it! As stated before, as we accept new apps before AND during the event, this list will be updated. This is also applicable if FCs are unfollowed/leave the group, so please understand that this list is subject to change. So, that being said - please LIKE THIS POST so you can not only keep track of this list but also so we know you saw this notice.

[the-greatest-fool]

Oh fuck, it’s almost June. Okay, here’s a quick and dirty Asian American literature sweep I recommend for AAPI month. Note this is not meant to cover all of AAPI—obviously, because they’re different ethnic groups and it barely even makes sense to combine the categories to begin with—but instead blast out some of the most famous works that, IMO, should already be household names outside of AsAm lit/studies. I also, just based off my own interests, included works that look at the interplay between race and gender and sexuality.

I included “trending” writers, but I also wanted to redirect some attention to work and writings that have been in this field for literally decades. This is off the top of my head and written on my phone, plus I doubt anyone will read this. I may return to this in the future.

Eric Liu, Notes of a Native Speaker

Maxine Hong Kingston, The Woman Warrior

Showtime, folks (ou le bilan 2023)

Le 20 décembre j’ai eu 37 ans et j’ai revu All that jazz de Bob Fosse. J’ai instauré une tradition à cette date depuis que j’ai emménagé à Brest : je fais une pile de pancakes et on s’installe devant la télé pour voir une comédie musicale. Le jour se lève doucement, les chats s’allongent sur nos jambes, je reçois quelques messages et je laisse le temps se déployer doucement. Cette année, donc, je me suis réveillée avec Bob Fosse, avec ce film que j’ai aimé encore plus fort en le revoyant. C’est un film sur la névrose, un film sur la mort, un film sur les relations bizarres et belles, un film sur un homme qui sait qu’il est naze et qui continue de l’être. Un film pour vieillir, en somme.

Un film pour la nouvelle année aussi, car on sait qu’encore une fois on se lèvera, on se regardera dans la glace et on se dira Showtime, folks Parce qu’on saura qu’on est reparti·es pour un tour.

Cette année je n’avais pas envie de faire mon bilan traditionnel sur Tailspin parce que je ne peux pas faire sens du chaos — mais j’aime bien mettre mes tops quelque part alors je voulais les coller ici. Je me suis rendue compte que chaque année j’écrivais qu’il était difficile de tirer un bilan d’une année (tant les réussites et les échecs personnels ont de moins en moins de sens à mes yeux) alors peut-être qu’il faut simplement arrêter d’essayer.

En 2023 j’ai tout simplement continué, j’ai écrit des choses que j’aimais et d’autres que je n’aimais pas, j’ai râlé souvent et j’ai hurlé parfois, j’ai marché dans la rue avec d’autres gens sans obtenir gain de cause (et il a fallu, chaque jour, chercher la recette contre le découragement), j’ai donné mes premiers ateliers d’écriture sans savoir si je le faisais correctement, j’ai préparé la suite, je me suis souvent demandé pourquoi, comment, dans quel but et je n’ai pas toujours trouvé de réponse. J’ai pleuré dans la rue en écoutant The fall of Mr Fifths, j’ai eu des conversations difficiles, je me suis inquiétée pour mes proches, j’ai attendu, j’ai espéré, j’ai mangé un donut à la banane avant la séance de All the beauty and the bloodshed sous la pluie brestoise, j’ai pensé à une scène de The Fabelmans si fort que je croyais l’avoir inventée, j’ai écouté Sufjan Stevens, je me suis cassé la voix au karaoké, j’ai vu Rufus Wainwright chanter Montauk et j’ai hurlé quand j’ai reconnu les premières notes de The crying of lot G au concert de Yo La Tengo (quel instant de joie je ressens quand ils sortent un titre improbable — et adoré — de leur catalogue). J’ai essayé de changer. Parfois ça n’a pas marché et parfois j’ai senti que j’arrivais à faire bouger légèrement ce qui semblait pourtant indéboulonnable en moi, alors j’ai continué. J’ai pleuré 72 fois en regardant This is Us, j’ai lu la rentrée littéraire dans l’herbe fraîche du début d’été, j’ai parfois parcouru et reparcouru les mêmes phrases en me demandant de quelle matière elles étaient faites, j’ai vu des auras se développer sous mes yeux, j’ai demandé à la psy quand est-ce qu’enfin on arrête d’angoisser (jamais, semble-t-il). Je me suis enthousiasmée, parfois toute seule, parfois avec d'autres. J’ai brodé pendant des heures, foiré mon enchaînement de claquettes, vu la mer, bu des thés. Je me suis réjouie des choses les plus minuscules et j’en ai parfois tiré une certaine fierté. J’ai décidé de beaucoup réduire les réseaux sociaux et en mettant 150 outils en place, j’ai à peu près réussi.

Et souvent le matin devant la glace je me suis dit Showtime folks Avec un sourire un peu forcé

Et sur ce, voilà quelques tops, avec un peu de retard et dans des ordres aléatoires !

LJAVAUS ( Paiwan Tribe ) x JUSTIN CHOU

[eug]

Signs of spring on the final day of February! “Mutt” & “Mama” at MoMA & FLC. It was pure joy meeting and bonding with both Savannah Leaf and Vuk Lungulov-Klotz last month in Park City. Their new films — “Earth Mama” (left) and “Mutt” (right) — were two that resonated deeply among the rich roster of discoveries screening at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Both new movies are bookending the 52nd New Directors/New Films series, the prestigious annual festival curated and hosted by Film at Lincoln Center and The Museum of Modern Art (March 29 - April 9th). Programmers praised “Earth Mama,” an A24 film, as “a devastating and evocative portrait of motherhood refracted through the prisms of race and class,” while showcasing “Mutt,” still securing U.S. distribution, the story of “a twentysomething trans man who must contend with an onslaught of aggravations, surprise encounters, and emotional choices over a 24-hour period.” ND/NF is a truly vital showcase for new work by emerging artists and a highly anticipated spring showcase. The list of filmmakers introduced to New York City by the fest over the years is stunning: Almodóvar! Del Toro!Guadagnino! Hou! Jia! Palcy! Reichardt! Spielberg! Spike! WKW! And in the past decade alone ND/NF has boosted Maite Alberdi, Ana Lily Amirpour, Kantemir Balagov, Davy Chou, Chinonye Chukwu, Yance Ford, Eliza Hittman, Jennifer Kent, Nadav Lapid, RaMell Ross, Albert Serra, and Justin Simien, among so many others. As we often said about New Directors when I was working at Lincoln Center, “Find your next favorite filmmaker!” Congrats to all on the honor of being selected to ND/NF’s Class of 2023!
