compulsive localization of a random comic for children ("斗罗大陆"); mostly I just like the word "myriad" and want everyone to know it literally means ten thousand (the literal text is like "a soul beast of ten years, a soul beast of a hundred years...,")
TIL my halo is purple.
My grammar may be soliciting "I laughed to death" replies from native speakers but at least my brushwork is on track. #chinese #calligraphy
My 4 year old daughter when she's hungry: 肚子饿了, 我的魔法会消失! ("My stomach is hungry, my magic is going to disappear!")

Vivek Ramaswamy on Elon Musk's relationship with China as of May 31st, 2023:
> "I’m breaking an unspoken rule in the GOP, but I call it like I see it: it’s deeply concerning that Elon Musk met with China’s foreign minister yesterday to oppose decoupling and referred to the U.S. & Communist China as “conjoined twins.” #Tesla’s VP in China reposted that statement on Weibo in China, but curiously not here in the U.S. In October, Elon issued an unprompted call for “reunification” of #Taiwan & won a favorable tax benefit in #Shanghai days later."

connect the dots: it's the #triads (AKA "the chinese mafias") converting exfiltrated chinese flight capital into the $38 billion worth of #Tether that #SBF minted on #JustinSun's #Tron blockchain.
I got coloring books of Li Bai and Du Fu's poetry. Here's Li Bai's most famous poem (often labeled Quiet Night Thought) with my own original white girl translation
#Americans: We hate #Chinese. We hate #Muslims. But for some unknown reason, we really love Chinese Muslims. [sarcasm]
"Harmony in this context is not about uniformity. The true transformative potential of #harmony can be realized by embracing the tensions inherent in #plurality."

Dear Fediversians! Does any of you know if in Japanese and Chinese the term for the physical quantity "momentum" *literally* translates to "quantity of motion"? This is the case in many languages, for instance Spanish ("cantidad de movimiento"), French ("quantité de mouvement"), Italian ("quantità di moto"), Swedish ("rörelsemäng").
Edit: maybe the creators of the great https://jisho.org have an answer about Japanese? @jisho
Cheers!

In 2013, #ChineseMining company #Chinalco (中国铝业集团有限公司) sparked an international conversation about extractive impacts with the news it had successfully relocated an entire #Peruvian town of 5,000 residents to clear space for a #CopperMine. At the time, the #relocation project in #Morococha, central #Peru, was touted as a solution to protect villagers from #pollution and #environmental degradation as a result of #mining practices, and as a potential template for #Chinese overseas #investment in #LatinAmerica.
Ten years later, experts describe the move as a “tragedy.”
Joselyn Jaua, a Peruvian #journalist who covers the #environment and communities in the region, explained to #GlobalVoices that Chinalco’s policies have deeply impacted both Old Morococha and New Morococha: “The rise of poverty is notorious for relocated and non-relocated people alike.”

My most recent package from China was delivered torn open and hastily resealed; I suspect someone was very disappointed to find my hobby is calligraphy.
