    I loved watching Disney around these times, everything was a means for some sort of celebration

  2. I did a bunch of concerts in college with my university’s Confucius Institute and developed a fondness of Chinese culture in the process. We provided the music for a lot of Chinese performers and it was awesome. I don’t know for sure why the Confucius Institute ended up closing down, but I think all the anti-China sentiment that came along with Trump’s first term had a lot to do with it.

    Glad I was there while it lasted.

    I remember when Wendy Wu came out EVERYONE was talking about how dumb it looked. Every single person in my school saw its premier and memed it out for homecoming week.

    I watched with the sound turned off and I could STILL hear the gongs.

    This would be like a Chinese network celebrating western new years by airing An American Tail 1 and 2, followed by three consecutive hours of King of the Hill, before capping it off with a little house on the prairie TV movie.

    Which…yeah I would watch that. Or…six hours of twilight zone followed by watching Forrest Gump and mystery science-ing it the whole time? That too

  6. Remember when (even basic, low-hanging fruit) diversity used to be fun and normal and suitable for kids? Pepperidge Farms remembers…
