I've been a bit back and forth on whether I should start watching 3 Body Problem before having read the books or not. I bought them a few years ago, but haven't gotten to them yet. In the end I figured I usually get disappointed by a show or movie of something I've read, but not the other way around.
So, in PH TV, noontime show "Eat Bulaga," which used to be shown on GMA 7, has been broadcasting on TV 5 for several months. TIL, that GMA 7 will now air ABS-CBN-produced "It's Showtime!"

A warrior of the people: How Susan La Flesche Overcame Racial and Gender Inequality to Become America's First Indian Doctor - by Joe Starita
In 1889, Susan La Flesche became the first Native American doctor to earn a western medical degree. She spent the rest of her life working for her community and standing up for equality. The book tells her life story, that of her family, and that of American women in medicine.
Bonus for this one:
Do you know this viral photo of three women doctors, from India, Japan, and Syria?
They were also the first women doctors (with a western degree) in their respective countries. Dr. Anandabai Joshee, Dr. Kei Okami, and Dr. Tabat M. Islambooly.
They were Dr. Susan La Flesche's classmates.
How is this girl squad not a high profile HBO show yet?!

I have discovered, much to my chagrin, that I rather like sappy Korean RomComs. A bit of entirely predictable comedic romance soothes the soul it seems. At least in my case. #TV#TVShows#VideoContent#PrimeVideo
I am so, so done with streaming and the whole TV show business lately. They cancel things left and right with no rhyme, reason, or closure. You get into a story and a set of characters, and then nope, sorry, no more of this. No one gets to give us a whole complete story, or even a longer arc.
Don't forget, to get all the latest updates, news and information that I post to my personal blog, you can follow @Cliff as everything I publish to the blog auto posts to that account as well here on Mastodon.
How are we all doing today and what are the plans for the day?
No real plans for the day right now. Today is a Wellness Day at work, so the entire company gets a day off, so I've decided to take it as well, which is very unusual for me.
Tonight is Fortnite with friends and then some more catching up on TV shows with the wife now that we have our new couch to sit out in the living room and enjoy TV.
💜 On http://www.ladyteruki.com I've been writing (in ꜰʀ) about television from all over the planet, for over a decade and a half ! I believe in being curious about the world through its TV shows.
Reviews, history, fun facts... so far 6700+ publications have been made available for free, ad-free.
But I'm a disabled person living under the poverty line, so I have a Ko-fi where people can support me : https://ko-fi.com/ladyteruki
🇺🇸 With the release of the first part of the American animated show ARK: The Animated Series, I have, for the first time in a long time, published one review of each of the six episodes. Read them before they all go extinct !
🌐 Following the end of Series Mania a few days ago, I have prepared a giant review of 45 shows presented during the festival. In competition... and outside of it !
❔ The Take Five article is making a comeback, because, yes, I still had shows I wanted to talk about for the month of March, despite yesterday's massive retrospective ! And if you want to know what these 5 shows are, well, there's really only one way to find out...
🇬🇧 Sometimes it's just really, really, really hard to convince you to watch a show without telling you why it's good. Because why it's good comes from the emotional impact of not being prepared for what it's doing ! So let me take up the challenge, and see what I can do for the first episode of British series #BigMood.
