I actually like XO 😊Underrated!

#MakanApaToday? Durian! I mistakenly thought dad didn’t have enough so I bought some more and now we have a “durian runtuh” situation 🤣

My family likes to eat durian with rice soaked in santan (coconut milk). I have failed my Peranakan heritage by hating the idea of rice + santan, insists my mum.

It’s OK, I am a purist - I prefer my durian untouched by anything but my hands 🤭

I pinned my post but for some reason can’t unpin it 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I tried clicking on the three dot menu but I don’t see the unpin optkon Weird

Any help appreciated!

It would be a hit series on Netflix

Awesome!

I mean, they still pretty much operate like they’re in the 2010s

It’s at hachyderm.io/@liztai

Well. I can see the appeal? 🤭What did she do la to get highlighted by #TwitterJaya

My sympathies 🤣

Too much work. We are supposed to read their minds mah 😂

Someone just passive-aggressively reminded me I could block people on Mastodon, and if I can’t adhere to CW requests perhaps I should get off Mastodon. Wow, I’ve only beeon on the Internet since 1999, Twitter since 2008 and Mastodon last November. I don’t know how to block ah? Wah.

these Mastodon HOA people are one kind.

PS: A few days ago, I blew my top when someone told me to CW my food photos. Since food is the way us Malaysians talk to each other on Mastodon, I feel it’s really too much they ask me to CW. Since then a few people explained that food can be triggering to people with eating disorders. But then other people say CW can also worsen eating disorders. Apalah you cannot win. Why don’t they leave us alone lol. I think i’ll just limit my posts to #MakanApaToday and #FediTiam and exclude #Food cos I dah fed up with the HOA* people. This is sad cos I use #Food so we can reach non-Malaysians, but it attracts the hornets. Maybe I use #expatasia instead (someone asked me to include the hashtag so the expats can find these posts)

All of this nonsense makes me glad that we have a “safe” space here on monyet.cc, where we can be completely Malaysian without some reply dude/dudette come and lecture you for melanggar some cultural rule you are not even aware of. I feel more relaxed here. A bit sad. I now understand why Black Twitter never felt comfortable enough in the Fediverse.

*Home Owners Association - people on Mastodon who patrol it to make sure everyone behave and follow rules. Like prefects, but worse.

Don’t tell PAS 😂

But honestly, I am surprised 🤔

Haha dang. I am not great with git yet, still learning. But maybe we can sort of keep an ever expanding list that people can add to. What platform is good for that?

Sounds like a good idea!

I am all for that haha. I remember we used to have a blog directory of Malaysian blogs. I wish we had that again. Can we build something like that?

I did see some there. Worth a look!

Had a dog once who would do this, and I had to drive around the block before he would allow us to remove him 😜
