A man aggressively approaches me as I enter the South Korean hotel pool area. “You must wear a swim cap!”

“Oh ok. Sorry. It’s not common where I’m from.”

“Buy one at the desk upstairs.”

“What about his chest hair? [gestures to shirtless husband] It’s longer than most of the hair on my head.”

[husband rolls eyes at me]

[attendant strongly gestures us away]

What does “you have to respect their culture” mean in practice when given as a reply to my commentary on South Korea not having same-sex rights and not permitting most ADHD medication?

Genuinely asking since this has been said to me multiple times.

I must follow their laws as a tourist, obviously. I’m rambling into an online abyss, not protesting outside an embassy or kissing my husband in public.

Apparently my husband and I are so obviously gay a South Korean taxi driver felt the need to put on praise & worship music when we got in.

Jesus said be a light unto the world and I’m flaming, honey.

Also, TIL Hillsong in Korean is A Thing.

Lufthansa once again did not have functioning inflight Wi-Fi, so I finally listened to “Dolly Parton’s America.”

She truly is an amazing person. I aspire to her level of reconciliation.

Fast food restaurants now seem to have protein-rich, plant-based options more reliably than other dining options in European airports. I’ve rarely had to eat my emergency vegan bars when traveling the last 2 years.

Some men with mustaches look so handsome with them, it’d be wrong for them to be clean shaven.

But 99% of men with mustaches look like a flailing soul search for masculinity.

🤠 Please stop building Wild West JSON APIs.

The JSON:API specification exists, is a trivial amount more effort to implement, and makes using a Web API sooo much easier.

If you’re not queer and protesting the administration by graduation, you didn’t get the full Emerson College experience. Glad to see some things don’t change. “Expression necessary to evolution” since 1880.

Everyone in Trump’s orbit is nothing but classy.

Secret Service notified as Trump aide brags about 'causing innocent people to be arrested' https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mcentee-secret-service/

@DemocracyMattersALot I misread this as Trump’s “obit” and got wound up for a moment. 😔

BankID. Debattartikel om detta står att läsa i Dagens nyheter. https://www.dn.se/debatt/sluta-utnyttja-bank-id-som-huvudnyckel-till-alla-las/ @dfri

@hehemrin @dfri Claes’s argument that fraud would be reduced by using BankID less is not convincing. The alternative to BankID would be a password in most cases. Most people still reuse passwords, don’t use password managers, and don't use MFA on their email account that can be used for password resets. Passkeys might save humanity from that if Apple and Google stop inhibiting them, but the same authentication fatigue attributed as a BankID weakness applies equally to Passkeys. 🤔

🧳I’m going to Seoul, South Korea next week. What should I see and do?

Art, history, nature, live music, nightlife, and gay stuff are of interest. I’m ok being a tourist. Day trips ok too, but I don’t have a driver’s license. Plant-based food recommendations especially appreciated.

I too felt like Baby Lasagna from Croatia when I moved from a rural land to the big city. But I didn’t get pyro along my way to university.

Jeremiah, to ADHD
@Jeremiah@alpaca.gold avatar

The hostility of governments towards tourists with ADHD who just want to take their medication is a true test of the effectiveness of that medication.

Within the EU, I must fill out a form with my pharmacist for them to file for each trip beyond Sverige’s border.

For my trip to Korea, I must download 2 Word docs from a website in Korean, submit a copy of my passport, flight information, notarized English translation of my Swedish prescription, and email it all 10 days before travel.

South Korea knew I would be too powerful if I had an attention span.
