Bit of a specific question, but I don't suppose you know of any resources explaining asexuality/LGBTQ+ stuff in Chinese (Mandarin)? I have a lot of trouble explaining things to my family since although I speak fluently enough for conversation I just don't have the vocabulary for specific stuff. Thank you!
Hmm, let's see if we can crowd source an answer for you

Second Chances Like an ocean breeze blowing at the backs of the bodies that move and that shake and that seek. The Universe guides us and provides us with signs and with endless opportunity. The chances that change us and shape us and teach us about purpose and presence and fun; won't take no for an answer, avoidance or defiance until the work that must be worked out is done. It is amazing how the experiences that really matter seem to return. Reuniting with a lost love. A career opportunity that mysteriously becomes available... again. There is so much out there for us and life makes sure that we don't miss out on the good stuff. To that point, and on a smaller scale, I decided to run the #fuji5lakes ultramarathon a few weeks ago. By doing so, I sacrificed the #GreatWallMarathon that took place on the subsequent week. It was a good decision but I was still understandably disappointed. There was a second Great Wall race, held on a later date, but a little digging around uncovered that it had already been sold out. Grrrrr. Then, what had become a specter of what could have been, became a second chance, when a random #airBnB guest overheard me discussing my disappointment. She had a flair up of plantar fasciitis and was unable to run and her BIB was mine for next to nothing. Fate awarded me a second chance to run up and down and up and down the mighty Great Wall tomorrow. To attempt, in broken #Mandarian and much pantomiming, to chase down my #dreamsBeyondReality . If you are attending, track me down and I'll give you one of the exclusive and highly sought after Dreams Beyond Reality shirts. (at Tianjin, China)

“this....this is japanese.....fuck..."
me practicing any language - UGH I HAVE THE WORST ACCENT EVER THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO UNDERSTAND ME AND IM NEVER GOING TO GET IT
me practicing infront of natives - [doesn't exist because this doesn't happen and my accent would still suck]
god damn
house of cards is so good, possibly the best show ive ever watched. Everyone on this show is such a machiavellian piece of shit, (especially you F.U) the tone set by FIncher as director is perfect, but the mandarin is so terrible why
when americans try and speak it it just pisses me off because its so obvious they havnt put ANY effort into researching the correct intonation and pronunciation. Like at least when esl people speak english i can understand them even with a thick accent. sometimes they give up and make up mandarin words how lazy can you get (COUGH COUGH FIREFLY)
