- I found out today that on Chinese social media, there’s a trending hashtag that translates to white people meals lol “I was so tired I ate a white people meal today” One of hashtags is also “white people meals are still meals”
- Female software engineers—if you’re planning a trip to Tokyo, please reach out. There are VERY few female software engineers in Tokyo and I would love to connect you with the scene to either meet and inspire women here or give a tech talk. Please share. @girlie_mac @AysSomething
- This poster is a good snapshot of why Japan has trouble closing the gender gap.Replying to @jimin_koho
- Have you heard of the Japanese concept of onara (屁)? It is used to describe when you let out the wind inside of you, oftentimes leading to inner peace and relief.
- Dumbass-gaijin confession Thursday: I usually have someone else to write my name in katakana. Because when I write it, I always end up as Yaso Faso.
- I recently learned that Chinese and Japanese soy sauce are totally different. For the last five years, I thought I was just bad at cooking Chinese food. Turns out, I was just using the wrong type of soy sauce.
- I'm really lucky to be able to live in Japan, but not need to deal with most Japan bullshit. theguardian.com/world/2019/jun…
- Restarted Japanese classes at a new school and this is the name of the textbook lol
- I’m renewing my drivers license right now and it involves sitting through a two hour lecture. I asked one of the staff if it was ok that I didn’t speak Japanese and they seemed to not care at all if I understood or not. 🤷🏻♀️ ok
- What happened to autumn, Japan? Where are the four seasons?
- The only perk of a weak JPY is that all of my friends visiting Tokyo have taken pity on me and treated me to nice dinners.
- International Women’s Day. Ugh. Instead of having panels of the same groups of women from privileged backgrounds, we should be interviewing the underpaid daycare workers, nurses, and teachers and figuring out how to pay them their fair share. Feminism isn’t just #girlboss.
- Lol I’ll check back in 100 years
