today went gravesweeping for my great grandmother (1887) which ive never met.

During gravesweeping season there are many to go to, but i look forward to this one in particular because the view is great. its an old site overlooking Tamsui River toward the sea that sometimes hard to find because of overgrowth, and alongside 4 decades of wear, has destroyed most of the paths to it. However a unique pair of angels help mark it. There are angels instead of the traditional guardian lions because she became a Christian late in her life.

the view has changed a lot and the path up here has gotten harder, but the great weather today make it worth it

The 2026 Pingtung Bluefin Tuna Cultural Festival starts April 21st! Planning to visit for the first time next month to see how the tuna auction works.

On April 8, the season's "First Tuna" was auctioned at the Donggang Fish Market, fetching a record-breaking price of NT$10,600 per kilogram (190kg). Definitely inflation in TWD, haha. (0.89BTC)

I started to monitor the pingdong fishermen association for their press releases for fun to get some sense on where food comes from. According to the article, Captain Hung on his 53rd season shared that he wasn't even looking for bluefin! His crew was originally targeting sailfish in the waters southwest of Taiwan when the giant tuna took the bait. After a 30-minute battle to secure the catch, Hung rushed back to port, exhilarated and "unable to sleep" from the excitement. it's great to see how hardworking fishermen are celebrated by the association, more genuine than TV media coverage

The winner of the first Tuna auction went to a local renowned seafood restaurant (佳珍海產餐廳 since '94) who pledged their proceeds of the first tuna of the season to underprivileged children and youth -- what a class act. the restaurant has won the first tuna auction for years, apparently the owner was a tuna fisherman that transitioned to being a restauranteur after a near-death experience at sea. Plan to visit the restaurant this season for Taiwanese Tuna Cuisine 🤤

我自己周圍的人沒有支持國民黨的,但畢竟我住台北,日常接觸的人是有不少支持國民黨的人。
支持國民黨的人我覺得理由很多,50年的戒嚴加上一代以上的洗腦教育可不容易被放棄掉。理論上有些人只能把「中華民國」跟「國民黨」連在一起,所以國民黨以外都是 「黨外」或「台獨」也就是說,要中華民國生存下去就只能聽國民黨的話。

今天國民黨黨主席去找對岸的領導人是史上最少支持度最沒職權實力的一位(但有身高啦😂),就是要那些永遠支持國民黨的吞下去。說能說服台灣人相信「跟國民黨才能跟對岸和平一家親」會自己做決定的台灣人不吃這套的。

台灣人觀點有很多種,說只有兩黨 (國民黨,非國民黨)一屆比一屆不像。這張用統戰來嚇台灣人,我覺得沒什麼效果。

today i opened X and saw a post describing that oysters are a sewage filter which i thought was a funny way to describe them, but then it followed with many replies of people declaring they'll never eat an oyster

who doesnt like oysters 🤨? surely they're trolling, right?

taiwanese cuisine has oyster omelettes (egg, sweet potato + tapioca starch, and oysters), so delicious

It’s true though. They are filter-feeders, and help purify water by removing particles, which obviously includes sewage.

Wake up, oyster fearmongering is a distraction from the real pollution agenda, who's behind the narrative?

I will eat the oyster. I will live in the 10-ping box.
