最近台東，或者說台灣，越來越多民宿，看著一間比一間蓋的漂亮民宿價錢不比一般飯店便宜，那什麼是民宿？對於我的理解是在主人家裡有多的客房才借給你住，是要跟這家庭一起生活要融入要學會尊重當地文化才是我覺得的民宿，那不然住飯店就好了！

Matzka, Paiwan singer of the Taiwanese band MATZKA...describing neo-colonialism? My poor translation: “Recently Taitung, or let's say Taiwan, is getting more and more bed and breakfasts. The cost to stay at a pretty-looking bed and breakfast isn't cheaper than staying at a hotel. Then what really is a bed and breakfast? From my understanding, a host’s home has lots of guest rooms to lend out for your stay. You would have to live with the family, integrate with them, respect the local culture...that’s what I think a bed and breakfast is. Otherwise you better stay at a hotel!”

what white people can do to protect muslims tomorrow: 9/11 edition

if you are from the NYC area, this is what you can do:

If anyone at work starts a discourse about 9/11, tell them you wish the nation would work tangibly (not theoretically) harder to protect the lives of muslims. 

If anyone at work starts talking about their fear of “another terrorist attack,” tell them you’re afraid the KKK doesn’t slaughter black people today. 

If anyone on the street is harassing a muslim, especially a visibly covered muslim, tell them to fuck off. do not call the police because the police do not try to protect muslims (call 911 if it is life threatening, though). ask the muslim if they are okay. 

give up your seat on the MTA World Trade Center bound trains for muslims. it is scary to stand because we don’t know who can hurt us from behind or from the sides. 

be so fucking polite, please. 

anywhere else, 

if they are being harassed, provoked, or look like they are in danger – get involved. call 9/11 if it appears life threatening. VIDEO IT. 

if they are being ridiculed or treated poorly at work, ask them if they would like a cup of coffee. tea. if they need a ride home. 

if cops are harassing muslims, take a picture of their face. take a picture of anything visible regarding their badge number or name. 

BROTHERS AND SIS – MUSLIMS: please feel free to add to this. PLEASE LET THIS GET AROUND. 

yall want to help? we are telling you how. 

[youknow-youreaqueermuslim-when]

Signal boost please. Stay safe brothers and sisters.

This is Anti-fascist action. Protect our brothers, sisters, and others.

With his milestone 10th album Stories Untold, Singapore singer- songwriter JJ Lin last year won the prestigious Golden Melody Award for Best Male Mandarin Singer.. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Some things about this JJ article:

- I can read it.

- Shui Xian is his most personal track off Genesis!!! Glad he talked a little bit about it. Looove that song even though it’s too different to be single material.

- Of course they’d sound like a Chinese momma and mention that JJ is single LOOOOOL D:

San Franciscans turn anti-Chinese graffiti into words of support and love 

Someone has been spray-painting the phrase “No more Chinese” on various walls and buildings throughout San Francisco’s Portola and Bay View neighborhoods in the last week. Now, some locals are fighting back — in the most SF way possible. Sadly, this seems to be part of trend in the Bay Area.
