Brace yourself for that first link

I cannot sufficiently articulate how absolutely unprepared I was for A-line shirt wearing long hair Bai Yu.
Toot toot!

The art of acting like a spoiled child. (this is actually a brilliant cultural technique and short but educational)

More heartbreaking thoughts on Dr. Li Wenliang, who defied authorities to let people know about the coronavirus. People continuing to try to help their fellows makes me feel better about humanity.

According to the Guardian prologue, the planet where the story takes place is called Seastar (in the subtitles I remember, anyway), and I understood that term to be separate from Haixing which is (as I interpreted it) the word for the China-nation equivalent. Is this an accepted standard? McKitterick thought Haixing was the name of the planet which, once he said it, doesn't seem an unreasonable assumption. Where does fandom stand on this? It's kind of important for how I phrase things in Deconstruction.
