#TransformationTuesday #셀카 #셀카그램 "Challenge: Post your very first profile picture & your current profile picture. Look at then and now. Copy this status & see your transformation." Saw this on a friend's wall. The pic to the left is my original FB profile pic. The one to the right is my current. Do y'all see a transformation? 😮😶😝

In my recent #Desie2Korea post, I recount my first visit to #LotteWorld. Took this while in line for the #GyroDrop. Trust me, this video inadequately shows how terrifyingly fun this ride is. #TB #롯데월드 #자이로드롭 (at 롯데월드 (lotteworld))

Giving a S/O to @simonandschuster for gifting me with my next novel: an autographed copy of "The Japanese Lover" by Isabel Allende! This is my first experience with this author, and as a woman interested in East Asian Studies, I have high hopes for her latest work. Expect a review once I complete it! #ReadingisFun #ReadingisLife #TheJapaneseLover #IsabelAllende #SimonandSchuster

So I’m guessing I’m making this reaction thing a new hobby of mine??

Nico and I react to BTS’ “Dope (쩔어).” Old video, I know, but BTS is an amazing group and Nico has never seen this video before. I hope all Kpop fans and ARMIES enjoy this reaction!

12/13/14 is the last sequential day of this century (For Americans and any country that does the Month/Day/Year format). The next one won't occur until January 2, 2103 (01/02/03). 

I am happy to say that I lived through 12 years of these amusing lineups, so I'm not upset I may not be around when the next one comes around.

A final tribute to all of those fantastic days:

01/02/03

02/03/04

03/04/05

04/05/06

05/06/07

06/07/08

07/08/09

08/09/10

09/10/11

10/11/12

11/12/13

12/13/14

*Bonus:  07/07/07, the luckiest day of the first half of the century, (at least we have 07/07/77 to look forward to...)

Another 100 years before this happens again, people!

Malcolm X: Panel discussion, WINS Radio, February 18, 1965

White man: You're doing all you can to encourage it, Malcolm-

Malcolm X: Not encouraging it.

White man: -with your inflammatory and demagogic language-

Malcolm X: No, no, I don't-

White man: Oh yes you do.

Malcolm X: I don't encourage it; but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that it doesn't exist.

Another white man: Don't you incite Malcolm? Don't you incite?

Malcolm X: I don't think so. How are you going to incite people who are living in slums and ghettos? It's the city structure that incites. A city that continues to let people live in rat-nest dens in Harlem and pay higher rent in Harlem than they pay downtown. This is what incites it. Who lets merchants overcharge people for their groceries and their clothing and other commodities in Harlem, while you pay less for it downtown. This is what incites it. A city that will not create some kind of employment for people who are barred from having jobs just because their skin is Black. That's what incites it. Don't ever accuse a Black man for voicing his resentment and dissatisfaction over the criminal condition of his people as being responsible for inciting a situation. You have to indict the society that allows these things to exist.

A calligraphy session was hosted in my Korean culture class today. This was my attempt. The instructor even stamped it. 한글 사랑 = Love of Hangul (Korean alphabet). 서예를 아주 좋아해요. :)

Okay, seriously, fuck any and every South Korean entertainment company that doesn't understand the simple concept of basic human rights. I'm glad they're suing together. I couldn't stand to see them torn apart.
