This is a very comprehensive crash course on the various cuisines of China, HK/Macao, Taiwan, as well as the Southeast Asian Chinese communities - it even makes a lot more sense than most Chinese-language articles that still adhere to the Big Eight classification (even though Shaanxi, Teochew, and Hakka cuisines, for example, seem to be wayyyy more influential & popular than some of the cuisines included in the big eight!)

We're gonna get medicine for our cat in the morning. We need $80 for this first batch. As such, I would be happy to doodle whatever you want if you leave a tip 😝
I can draw ocs, fanart, ships (oc x canon and self ship ok 👍), you, your pet, your favorite monster hunter dragon... Just black and white and maybe one spot color for now while we're taking care of our kitty. 💖 Here's some examples of ko-fi doodles i've done before.
Can’t sleep because I had a brilliant idea—
It started with, “I wish there was a list of all domain names owned by media companies that billionaires own, so I can block them in Clew, my search engine that focuses on independent creators.”
Then I realized: in the DMCA Designated Agent directory (which I have an entry in, story for another day), most media companies list every domain name they own/operate. With some work on scripting sifting through the data, I could conceivably put this together!
For example, TIL Disney Enterprises, Inc. owns the “101dalmations.xxx” domain.

American admiral and computer scientist, (designed COBOL) Grace Hopper was born #OTD in 1906.
She created the first compiler, the A-0 System, in 1952. She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer. Hopper popularized the term "debugging" in computing after discovering an actual moth causing a malfunction in the Mark II computer.
