Guardian/adjacent:
Guardian Week 2020 is open for submissions!
How was he so thin for this show and still so fit?
Finally some good fucking Zhu Yilong styling!
Help.

Untamed/adjacent:
Nie Huaisang thoughts.

Wonho (the former of Monsta-X who was done quite dirty by his studio) just released his first single and wow it's heartbreaking on a meta level considering the circumstances of his departure from the band, but also a perfect addition to my Weilan playlist.

449 hard-fought words on the dS fic yesterday.

Please chime in if you're on Wakelet. I'm clevermanka there. Gonna follow undeadrobins suggestion to collect my Twitter bookmarks over there.

Finally, Harney & Sons chocolate tea is the only reason I'm not scraping the bottom of the mood barrel this morning. They're currently running a 25% off sale right now, too. I like the vanilla (apparently only available in decaf?) and Paris. I know about them because my mom likes the cinnamon spice (which is very good, but not something I could drink every day like the others). FWIW, their decaf teas have just as good a mouthfeel as regular tea imo (although nothing is ever as good as coffee 😭).

Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

sighhhhhhhh

Okay so I'm trying to make a Wakelet collection of Zhu Yilong gifs from Twitter. I added three, but they're not showing. Under the title of the collection it says 3 items, but there's just a blank page. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Here's a screenshot:

I've found that sometimes it takes Wakelet a while to actually refresh the collections.

Although saying that, I had one tweet that really wouldn't add for some reason!

(what's your username over there? I'm UndeadRobins, unsurprisingly)

Re: Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

[clevermanka]

Well, it's been nearly an hour and still they're not showing. 😠(conveniently, I'm clevermanka there, too!)

Re: Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

[undeadrobins]

I can see them from the app. Three of them, right?

Re: Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

[clevermanka]

Yep! Okay, gonna try in a different browser I guess but if I gotta fire up Chrome every time I wanna use this one thing I'm probably not actually gonna use it very often.

Re: Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

[undeadrobins]

I can see them on my web browser too (Vivaldi). It sounds like a caching issue at your end...

Re: Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

[clevermanka]

Of course it is.

Re: Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

[clevermanka]

And has anyone tried the extension? I hate giving access to these apps if they don't make my life a lot better...

Re: Lazy and didn't wanna edit the entry:

[undeadrobins]

I use the Chrome extension on Vivaldi. It sticks a nice extra button on all tweets so I can easily save them.

What browser are you using? I found that twitter bookmarks don't appear in Firefox for some reason, but show up just fine in Chromium based browsers. In Firefox they only seem to work if you set layout to Compact or Grid view.

[clevermanka]

Thank you! Changed to grid view and that gave me two of the three. Third one at least shows a link, even if the image is broken. However, when I click on them, they just load a blank page. Clicking "go to original" works so the links are there, they're just... not... showing.

THAT TEA SHOP OMG

[clevermanka]

It's really good tea, too. Nice big, fluffy leaves (at least in the loose leaf versions).

[minoanmiss]

I couldn't resist buying some. I got Linden tea and Indigo Iced Tea. I am weak.

If the chocolate came individually wrapped I totally would have gotten it. I love putting teabags in cards.

[clevermanka]

I hope you enjoy them!

[wrote_and_writ]

That ZYL photo shoot is so so good! And that photo edit? Help indeed.

[clevermanka]

I finally found a set of the original photoshoot and will be linking that tomorrow.

[seascribble]

coffee 😭😭😭😭😭 I can still have it sometimes but I miss that morning cup.

[clevermanka]

Ugh, sorry to hear it's off-limits for you, too.

[umadoshi]

Have you had Harney's Florence tea? That was one of my go-tos for a long time.

[clevermanka]

I have not! Thank you for the recommendation!

[tinny]

Yay for the homme pics. Incredible mise-en-scene there indeed. (Except maybe for the sweater in the boat, that's... meh.)


I started Wakelet, but have no public collections yet. Still testing it. So far, I think the browser addon (firefox) does not seem to be working, and I'm not sure I can/want to use it without that.

We do need something like this, though. I still miss delicio.us ten years later. /o\

[clevermanka]

I still miss delicio.us
Yeppppppppppppp

[glymr]

That tea looks sooooo good! I love the variety of decaf options (since I almost exclusively drink decaf). I think I'm going to order some. Do they have a referral program? Let me know if you have a link you'd like me to use. :)

[clevermanka]

I don't think they have a referral program, but thank you for asking! I hope you enjoy the flavors you order! They don't have as many decaf options as Republic of Tea (I can't have have caffeine much or often), but the tea is better, imo.

FWIW, I was not impressed by this flavored green tea, which came highly recommended, so I can't speak for their green teas but none of those are decaf anyway, so...
