Eclectic Writer and Artist. And as far as I know the first Jewish Korean Adoptee writer pro-published in SFF. Double gray-a. BA in Anthropology concentrated in systems. Minor in Comparative Lit.
He covers Birth of a Nation and the reason the hood was APPROPRIATED from oppressed Spanish people and a symbol of Black and white unity. I do wish that Alice Guy-Blaché had won instead of getting erased from history… but sometimes it’s difficult. Beyond that, there has been formative fiction that has turned social justice for better and worse over history. And sometimes fiction had…
These are trends that I see and I don’t like particularly. This does not mean these names “don’t exist” but I kinda feel like it lacks the joie de vivre. BTW, Korean. But I’m applying this a little wider. Must sou nd like an English word. Hiro, for example sounds like Hero and the character is a Hero. (using a hard rhotic r, WTF) Kinda feels lazy. Lee Geon is a serial…
chroniccoolness : racist white canadians and europeans want you to believe the slave trade worked like this it did not. it is public knowledge the slave trade worked like this and in fighting antiblackness within canada and europe it is so so so important to acknowledge these places’s participation in and benefit from the transantlantic slave trade. Slavery is not just the US’s dirty…

So, if you look back on this. blog, you’ll find clothes I’ve made and patterned from scratch: Dorothy costume (from pattern, but heavily modded to be exact) Several hanbok Aprons and so on. I’ve been following the Undone by Kate thing and there are several indications that she doesn’t know how to pattern anything AND yet, is selling custom wedding dresses. I 100% get that…
whtbout2ndbrkfst : What Asexual People Can Teach Us About Attraction “Asexual people are often assumed to “lack” attraction. But in reality, many report rich and varied forms of attraction that don’t map neatly onto sexual desire. So instead of asking “how does attraction work?,” we asked: What do people actually mean when they say they feel attracted to someone? ” “Drawing on…
This is one of those: I wish I hadn’t taken astronomy (101) because my science knowledge is outstripping the show. The whole, I feel smarter than the character with four degrees doesn’t feel that good. I’ve run several scenarios after watching several of the episodes: 1. The people who built the ship are not that bright. (“Cheap” version does seem to be supported by…
kimyoonmiauthor : So, since people don’t read profiles on this website… My area of expertise is not linguistics and saying something like I took a cultural linguistics class once does not help my case that much. I did get a BA in Anthropology which I took the most classes around systems: racism, sexism and so on. I am also a Korean adoptee raised by a white Jewish (Russian) family.…
You might not intend it, but I recognize some white woman speech patterns: https://www.tumblr.com/kimyoonmiauthor/806234018238660608/white-woman-speech-positive-informal-and-karen You might want to check those at the door. Hello, I agree with all of your points but I believe you're being bigoted with how you are talking about this person Bigoted implies that I have particular prejudice against a…
What I said was : And all statements are true. Anthropologists don't think of culture in terms of evolution. There is no better/best, most/least advanced with technology, medicine (medicine is part of technology, which you find out in your 101 class and then you get that compounded in your Magic, Witchcraft and Religion class, which is required lower division.). This is not a lie. There is no most…
fantasy-anatomy-analyst : kimyoonmiauthor : Stop ranking cultures, especially in worldbuilding So the Bluesky tag Anthropology August tried to promulgate the idea that one should rank cultures by things like technology, medicine, etc. I pushed back on it, because: 1. I have an anthropology degree. I did not travel 3 hours there and three hours back from my Uni for nothing. The degree was a BA…
They used superlatives throughout all of the posts. Which has the Most technology? There is no such thing in anthropology. Which has the most advanced technology? No such thing. Which of your cultures has the least amount of technology. No such thing. I got this lecture so many times. Technology in anthropology isn't ranked this way. The anthropology of technology covers a variety of enquiries…
So the Bluesky tag Anthropology August tried to promulgate the idea that one should rank cultures by things like technology, medicine, etc. “Most advanced” “Least advanced” there is no such thing under anthropology. (Technology, medicine, intelligence[though people who work in Biology/taxonomy, etc they are reworking this model only from the 1990’s]) I pushed back on…
kimyoonmiauthor : US Book ban on LGBTQIA books The Nationwide Book Ban Bill Moves to the House: How to Take Action Now At least hit the shiny repost button if you’re going to do nothing else.

How many swear words can I summon to say how much this is…
On the borderline is Muse hub, but as I’m unfamiliar with music apps, I’m unclear how much are reliant of data centers, so if someone would like to help, I would appreciate it. I know Audacity , the core program of Musescore don’t feature AI (reliant on stolen scores and data centers), but I’m unclear on the others. (I use both Audacity and Musescore) Any better suggestion…

So the problem is this: Tumblr has a word limit and a link limit and though the post is technically NOT a link farm since it has reviews, opinions and I definitely regulate the links I post, it still has a huge issue. I can’t add more programs and do major updates in the current state. Though at 25,000+ comments, etc, I’m forced to have to break up the post and seriously think about…
