Everyone should try a mandu (the Korean name for dumplings). It’s SO juicy, so delicious, so great. WILL heal you.
Ps. A theory of how mandu originated is that it was one of the first meat-based dishes Koreans could eat after the Mongols came (and there are other theories as well) — isn’t that cool :-)

Soy sauce marinated beef, shredded, w/ chilies. Stored and served cold. My peeps either gate-keeping or folks sleeping on the stuff.
The method: 🍚 + 🍳 + sesame oil and a splash of that jangjurim soy sauce. Wrap 🥢 each bite in Korean seaweed (ghim). Trust.

i know it sounds so cliché but i work for a climate organisation & i just came home from a work event so i’m feeling very inspired/energised/refreshed…please find your community because it is tiring, draining, & almost impossible to drive social change alone. you don’t have to do it alone.
A community helps your cause. We protest, meet, rally, & cry in numbers for this reason. 💜

i really also think about how much boys are taught ways to perform masculinity & how it is legitimised through tangible things like building a career etc but with women i find that from a young age our identity, behaviours, & thoughts are always spoken about in relation to other people/things — gender roles within the family, how we’re perceived by men, our friendships with other women, our relationships with material things etc etc — and this shows up in the labels that women are often given too! so and so is someone’s daughter, girlfriend, wife, mother etc etc. i envy the freedom of boyhood so much, the freedom to just be (this is not to discount the toxicity of traditional masculinity, i just think that boys are still afforded more “play” and therefore have more opportunities to develop their sense of self).
maybe i am also biased because of how i’ve grown up & whatnot but i never really understood what it meant to quote unquote be a woman or perform femininity. i only saw this modelled within my nurturing friendships with women as i’ve gotten older but when i was younger, in church it was always “ok well don’t do this or that because x y z will happen to men if you do” or within my extended family it was often “are you seeing anyone? when are you having kids”. damn what happened to asking about how i’m doing or what my dreams are!!!
long rant sorry !! but that’s my long winded way of saying “i feel you” haha
