in small fandoms you need to be grateful to the person who only accidentally hit you twice with a frying pan while trying to make you breakfast. in big fandoms you can block people for wearing a shirt you don’t like

Stop saying “there are plenty of fish in the sea”. I’ve got my eye on one specific, emotionally distant salmon with commitment issues

The white paper was released to reiterate the fact that Taiwan is part of China, to demonstrate the resolve of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Chinese people and their commitment to national reunification, and to emphasize the position and policies of the CPC and the Chinese government in the new era.

Taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times. This statement has a sound basis in history and jurisprudence, according to the white paper.

I mean, how ancient are we really talking, here?

50,000 years: humans have inhabited Taiwan

4,000 years ago: Taiwanese aborigines show up

then you have vague Chinese awareness of the island until:

In 1349, Wang Dayuan provided the first written account of a visit to Taiwan. He found no Chinese settlers there but many on the Penghu Islands. By the 16th century, increasing numbers of Chinese fishermen, traders and pirates were visiting the southwestern part of the island. When the Dutch arrived in 1623, they found about 1,500 Chinese visitors and residents.

so the Dutch held Taiwan until 1661, when Ming loyalists fleeing the Qing took it over, supported by the inhabitants:

The Aboriginals (Formosans) of Sincan defected to Koxinga after he offered them amnesty. The Sincan Aboriginals then proceeded to work for the Chinese and behead Dutch people in executions. The frontier aboriginals in the mountains and plains also surrendered and defected to the Chinese on 17 May 1661, celebrating their freedom from compulsory education under the Dutch rule by hunting down Dutch people and beheading them and trashing their Christian school textbooks.

understandable! the Qing then took it over in 1683, at which point it could finally be considered "belonging to China" in a reasonable sense, until they were forced to cede it to Japan in 1895; if you add the four years from 1945 to 1949 then I think it's fair to say that "Taiwan has belonged to China" for at least 216 years out of the past 4000 years of its history.

(however if Qing claims are valid then what about Mongolia??)

Absolutely amazing how AO3 is a part of the internet that doesn't sneak in any ads and doesn't have an algorithm and doesn't watch you or record how much time you spend looking at each fic or whatever. It's just right there to use for free. Legend

Laughter is the best medicine.

A guy comes into our emergency room tachycardic and barely awake.

"A man walks into a bar, ouch!" I yell at him. Pupils are dilated. He can hear me, but there's no response.

"Chart says he's heard that one before," calls a nurse, who has pulled up his records from the depths of the hospital database.

"Two fish are in a tank," I say, "One turns to the other and says 'how do you suppose we drive this thing?"

"No response," says the nurse, who has hooked him up to vitals.

"Sir," I say. "I need to know your sense of humor, I need to know what you find funny." You're supposed to take a test, it's supposed to be on your driver's license.

"I'm dying," he gets out, looking around at the machines.

"Hi dying, I'm Dr. Miller," I say.

He flatlines, goes unconscious, and I swear under my breath.

"Get out the tickle machine," I say.

"But doctor," says the nurse.

"Desperate times," I say, hoping that if this man wakes up, he'll forgive me.

I think one of the reasons drag kings aren’t as popular as drag queens, aside from the fact that straight women don’t like us, is that people are uncomfortable acknowledging masculinity as a performance. Like we as a society know that femininity is a performance, with its own costumes and rules. Masculinity is also a performance, and nothing makes that more clear than someone making an exaggeration of it
