Rain for harvests. Reeds sprout by the rivers and rice seedlings grow in the fields after the last frost has passed. Peonies bloom in the wilderness. 🐦

does he not look like a recalcitrant student who will be given lines to write. in this fit, at this age, how dare

some of the 2026 birthday shots made me wonder if it was MYN too! such soft looks, in the hoodie and by the fireside

woot! 🎉 and all such excellent characters, it was fun trying to pick a favorite 😍

thanks for the tip, I love this kind of thing! and also derwent pencils, they are lush and creamy (thinking specifically of the Drawing pencil range 🤌)

Since bsky was down for much of Long-ge's birthday, I'm extending the deadline for this until this evening (~12 hours from now).

thanks so much for the subs, I enjoyed this a lot 💕

he is sooo satisfying to watch and I love him

Example of swag: Thermos-branded square silk scarf thing with Zhu Yilong on it. Movie merch in the form of transparent, framed pictures that make more sense when held up against the light. Dongji Rescue trading cards.

It's Zhu Yilong's birthday tomorrow! He's turning 🤐🤐🤐 the perfect age for a little GIVEAWAY! ✨ I'm sending out some Land of Broken Hearts, Lost in the Stars, and Dongji Rescue swag to three lucky winners! Read on for rules.

(Many thanks to @wenella.bsky.social for providing most of the goodies. 🫶)

extremely rude of bsky to be down for zhu yilong’s birthday. I had to watch his livestream all by myself 😤
Many moments where he was prompted to “chat”, staring into the camera without saying a word. doesn’t know how to do his own hair.
perfect in every way 😍

Yay I can see the loot now 🥳 and I said Wu Xie so I’ll stand by it. San-ge is also up there, as is Luo Fusheng, so hard to choose

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

that made my whole day ty ty 💕

An Explanation (Which I Would Be Very Grateful If You Took The Time To Read) What follows is a minor modern horror story.

THREAD.
Substack is evil. I can't emphasise this enough. Their line that anyone can leave easily & take their subscriber list with them is bullshit. I left & it cost me a large sum of money. It forced me briefly back onto Substack to try to clear up the mess... tomcox.substack.com/p/an-explana...

Clear and bright. Shortly after the equinox, when the swallows return home and the geese fly north. The first rainbows of the season appear. 🌈

love your photo colors and how they bloom in gravel

what a good name. looks like we have these too but i didn’t recognize them from the photo, will
keep an eye out!

what are they, i need them! 😍

a potted hibiscus in bloom on a windowsill

a tropical hibiscus in a tiny pot, in an unsuitable climate, doing its best to make blooms the size of pastry plates. insert your own metaphor

I shouldn't get in trouble posting this, I have been told many times that you cant have enough #springrobin photos (or even winter ones)
So here you go, hope you lile this one too

One of those days where I wasn’t looking for anything in particular.

Plenty of movement along the river, including a dipper carrying nesting material into a cave… one best left undisturbed.

And then, as always, a robin appeared at just the right time.

The less you look for, the more you see.

dear Ao3, please make swag as fun as this instead of the cruft you keep offering as “rewards” for donations

that is gorgeous and makes me think of the person who gave her the tulips reading it. but i can see the relationship to mew

this all is so heartbreaking. trunks full of poetry to be never seen again, and herself likewise. she should be rescued somehow

omg “said to be a writer” i can’t

i am a heathen and have never read any plath, but lyrics for chappell roan, say..

talking about timetravellers - istg she IS one
