there are a lot of things to be angry about in this post but I choose to be infuriated that the united states secretary of state doesn’t know the difference between “discrete” and “discreet”

Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan, one of the more beautiful places I have ever seen. We took a cable car up to the top - 15,000 ft!

I feel upset and angry every time I learn about another act of senseless gun violence, but today’s school shooting in my hometown feels like a gut punch. And the worst part is you know nothing will change for the better.

Sheung Wan

I’ve been feeling down and burnt out. Trying to remind myself to keep things in perspective. I’m also ready for a vacation.

Spent a morning learning about the refugee and immigrant experience in Hong Kong with the Centre for Refugees. If you ever visit Chunking Mansions I hope you make a stop at the Centre to learn about this important community. www.cfr.org.hk/about

“Senior editor Cereese Qusba spent months reporting on the case before breaking the news of the lawsuit on September 18.”

Escaped the mid-autumn crowds with a hike on Lamma and then went straight into the crowd to check out the lantern festival (chaos). Lovely Saturday in #HongKong

“From a distance their life looks very beautiful. But there’s so much potential going to waste.” Deepti Asthana, a photographer, spent a decade documenting the lives of schoolgirls in the Indian Himalayas. Her pictures capture their daily struggle to find water

I met a guy last night who vibe codes Roblox games for a living. A game a day! I feel like I don’t really get it and we live on different planets. Is this just AI slop? Would I be a millionaire if I did this?

Beach day! Repulse Bay #HongKong

Today’s not my day. Went in for SMILE procedure and then was told they can’t do it because I have irregular shaped cornea. Then I went to eat my sorrows with a burrito but they brought me out a bowl instead 😩

If you read the instructions carefully, the first step to making any microwavable lunch is to throw away the box & then dig it out of the trash again.

This is bleak af

A steep Sunday stroll up Finger Hill followed by pineapple buns and ice cream #pengchau #hongkong

Epic morning views #hongkong

Seeing too many really long LinkedIn posts by people I know clearly written by ai. Paragraphs long. Stop!

Back to work today. My summer vacation is over, but mentally I’ll be here.

Just spent an unreasonable amount on sad chicken strips at LAX because airports are a rip off and calories don’t count within these walls

Bye Oregon, I love you. See you next time.

Went out for dinner and drinks and talked to some locals and sometimes you just forget…people can be so nice

Taking my son mountain biking at my favorite childhood spots 🤯

Being back home is so weird. I don’t know anyone anymore and if I do recognize you I’m probably going to hide but also I want friends

Lucky Lake #PNW

The river’s looking a bit murky today but this is my happy place.

I’m so happy to be back in Central Oregon. Even though I moved away years ago I will always be an Oregon girl.

What up PDX carpet

The Hong Kong Airport Express is so amazing. You’re telling me you can check-in for your flight in Central, dropping your bags and just mosy on through? Front door to gate in less than an hour.

Sunday morning hike up the Peak #hongkong

Hiked in to this empty beach on a lovely day in January. Followed by coffee in Sai Kung. Lovely #hongkong

Saw this shedded snake skin on the side of the trail on the Peak. Better to see this than the real thing. yikes. #hongkong

Should I move to this cute little town #muiwo #hongkong

Hi little cutie #morningtrail #hongkong

I cannot imagine a more on-the-nose metaphor than tech companies filling their offices with free drugs that supposedly enhance your productivity but are more addictive than heroin. fortune.com/2026/03/04/p...

Spent Sunday appreciating the amazing art collection at M+ #hongkong

I would eat one of each of these right now

Saturday at Shek O #hongkong

Teddy bear mural on a Saturday night in Sheung Wan #hongkong

She is trash. Vote her out.

I’m watching Widow’s Bay right now which is so silly and creepy. If you need a new show to watch this is a good one. Also such a good cast.

Bike ride around Mui Wo. Recommend. How cool are these trees?

'We limit screen time at home for the sake of children’s wellbeing, yet some schools are dramatically increasing it during the school day. It is almost impossible to enforce healthy boundaries when the very institutions educating our children are normalising constant device use.'

The news is so terrible so I guess I’ll enjoy this story about Chonkers

I was the surprise reader in my 5 yr old son’s class this morning and it was just so much fun. The questions, the curiosity, the cuteness! The best.
