Wrote and published a blog post last night on why I finally decided to delete my TikTok account 👀😃

Continuing my writing goal for 2026, I've posted a new entry on my blog.
"A Few Words on Adaptations" - that is, adaptations of books to films or TV series.
https://whateverthing.com/blog/2026/01/11/a-few-words-on-adaptations/
I also updated the visual style of the blog slightly, so it works better on mobile and is slightly easier to read on screens that are super bright.
One of my goals for 2026 is to write more. My first blog post of the year is now live:
"The Future Is Cooperative"
https://whateverthing.com/blog/2026/01/05/the-future-is-cooperative/
Wherein I discuss the co-op model as an alternative to corporations/startups, and share my experiences so far with some of the co-ops I am involved with.

用Ghost写文章，经常输入拼音然后拼音会消失，也打不出中文，英文倒是没有这个问题
Gemini表示可能是：
Ghost 的编辑器非常“勤快”，它会实时监控你的每一个按键并尝试同步状态或自动保存。当你还在输入拼音时，Ghost 的自动保存机制或 DOM 刷新机制突然介入，强行重置了光标位置。此时，尚未转化为汉字的拼音序列会被编辑器认为是非法输入或被覆盖，从而导致“消失”。
好像真是那么回事（）

住：Renter insurance、买房、Mortgage/贷款、常见 maintainence

为什么不回中国 https://blog.douchi.space/why-not-go-back-to-china/?utm_source=douchi.space
其实一开始出国的时候我就没有细想要“回去”，更多的是“也不一定一直在美国呆着”，但你要真让我“回”中国的话反倒要给我一些 why 而不是 why not。谁知道和很多同学一样，这一晃十几年也就过去了人还在美国，不一定久留，但中国必然是不可能回了。

Some songs hit that nostalgic feeling of a better world we used to live in. Yesterday one particular song hit me at my work desk. It made me get out of my depression and write a blog post.
Remembering we are still human and music makes us feel emotions. It gives us hope when we think there isn't any.
While hoping and waiting for the bubble to pop, I have started writing about the planet-burning brain asbestos of our times, starting with issues related to sovereignty, independence and dependency on unsavory companies.

This is a split from a mega-post that I have started writing more than a year ago and that I can’t seem to finish ever, so apologies if it does not reach a real conclusion on its own 🫠.
