OK here we go. Conceivably the greatest, most technical accomplishment in the history of natural history art: nearly 4000 glass models of flowers created by Rudolph and Leopold #Blaschka for @HarvardMuseum. None of the objects in here look like glass. Readers, they're all glass.

Every time I train someone in using Facebook’s more advanced features, at some point they’ll ask WHY is the platform built LIKE THIS?

The slave trade is RAMPANT in Malaysia, as this series by
@msiakini
will show. The article shows the logistics of how slavers trade slaves within Malaysia, and the cost of purchase. It’s monstrous. It’s common. It’s banal. I cannot.

Today we published the 1st part of our series exposing modern day slavery rackets. It's so rampant, the traffickers are cold calling employers to sell workers to them. Worse, they take multiple rounds of perpetual commission out workers' hourly wages. malaysiakini.com/news/668464

A Bangladeshi worker’s story about being tricked into slavery in Malaysia. Sometimes “protecting our borders” is really about protecting the system that produces cheap exploitable slave labour for us. Malaysians: our xenophobia is part of the problem.

What is this f bullshit behaviour from Clean Slate Facial Bar? First you cross the line with traumatising and racist experiences for a paying customer Next you send a lawyer’s letter to people sharing that story? What warranted it, isn’t this legal intimidation? Stinks like 💩

My official review of Clean Slate Facial Bar, cont (4/6)
Show this thread
To be honest, I am writing this post very reluctantly. I wish it did not have to come to this. This has been mentally and emotionally taxing on my well-being. Even at the time of drafting this, a mutual friend informed me that she had received a legal notice from Clean Slate via IG DM (14/6), requesting her to remove her IG story which shared my experiences. Their legal representative mentioned that her IG story '-contained dangerous allegations against their client which may threaten their client's safety, in addition to untrue allegations of racism and poor service, which have yet to be proven and are one-sided." This legal notice above comes after their aforementioned email to me yesterday which had already acknowledged my experience. I feel I am at a loss. Their words are not matching their actions, yet again. Do they recognise my experience, or don't they? I am at a loss, but I do not wish my genuine experience to be suppressed again. Thus why you are reading this now.

Because my genuine Google Reviews kept 'disappearing', I decided to document my distressing experience at Clean Slate Facial Bar, Bangsar in this thread. I deserve to have my voice, my honest experiences heard and documented. Clean Slate - let's set the record straight. (1/6)
Title page: An illustrated Clean Slate logo appears with an edited tagline, "set the record straight'. It is followed by, "My official review of My official review of Clean Slate Facial Bar, Bangsar - (which they really, really don't want you to see!) + the tale of the disappearing reviews.

"No offence, your skin is quite ugly." "No offence, you are black" - These are just 2 highlights of my facial experience at Clean Slate Facial Bar, Telawi back last month. By the end of the sesh, I was made to feel so insecure of my face that I just left for home and cried.

It's very worrying that much of the hate speech directed at LGBTIQs and minorities that we see broadcasted, comes from parliament itself. Malaysia has become so anti-diversity. What is our idea of progress now if it is devoid of human compassion? Capitalism?

I’m DONE with abusive men (verbal/physical/emotional) who think they’re being the bigger person by “admitting” they “have a temper problem”. Don’t tell me you’re “working on it” but every woman you date catches your mean, busuk temper. Acknowledgement is not “working on it” 🖕

Not his first time as Education Minister. Yes you read that right. During his first stint he introduced Bahasa Baku (he’s the only speaker today), 3M cores (membaca munulis mengira), made little tots wear kurung and tudung, appointed Malays to head Chinese schools…

People who say “my religion doesn’t affect you” ignore how 1) legislation is influenced by it and affects us all 2) you think we don’t have Muslim friends, relatives, partners ke? 🙄

My friends came home to celebrate Gawai with family, and I just want to thank Kuching for making them party so hard in the long houses and at Junk that they’re all danced out and I probably don’t have to go clubbing with them in KL anymore. It’s all out of their systems already!
