Thoughts and such by Joshua Tong
I like books. I mean, I like reading. But I also like books. The two kinda go hand-in-hand for me, someone who’s considered getting an e-reader, but decided not to because he likes writing in his books too much. The pandemic has given me a deal of time to read, which is really fortunate since… Continue reading Just Browsing
I remember when the biggest problem on Facebook was an overabundance of FarmVille invites and not widespread propaganda and competing political views. Oh, I’m sure the latter was there even in the early days, but certainly not as pronounced as it is now. A scroll through my newsfeed is almost dominated by folks sharing something… Continue reading Social Network
It’s kinda odd to think that we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic. I’ve been called back into work a couple times a week, and there’s a bit more life out there (I’m no longer getting Death Stranding vibes when I go outside), and it sometimes looks like things are going back to… Continue reading Checking In
Hey, how’s it going? Today is, by my count, day one hundred and ten of quarantine here in New York. At least since the day that I went into lockdown, stopped going into work, and have been in relative isolation within my apartment. For those of y’all keeping track at home, that’s almost four months… Continue reading One Hundred and Ten
This post is not about The Last of Us Part Two, which I have been enjoying immensely. It’s also not about She-Ra and The Princesses Of Power, which I have been joyfully devouring. Nope, this one is about a turn of phrase. Particularly "for all intents and purposes." Apparently, the phrase is one of those… Continue reading Intensive Purposes
There’s a lot going on out there. The pandemic is still very much a thing and frustration at systemic racism has finally boiled over. Earlier this week I started thinking out a blog post about it all, about my own experiences with race and learning to be better. That said, it’s difficult for me to… Continue reading Learn
Hey! Instead of a blogpost this week, go watch my movie! You can also check out some nifty behind the scenes photos on my website.
I kid. I’m mostly sure it’s Saturday. Mostly. Kinda wild that another week has already gone by. Couldn’t tell you what I’ve been doing, just because it’s the thing where days tend to blur together, kinda like how summer days used to back when you were a teenager only with less time spent going outside… Continue reading What Day Is It?
'sup? Today is, more or less, day thirteen of my self-imposed quarantine/isolation. I’m not sick, but as someone who’s in a position to take themself out of the equation of contagiousness, I elected to do so. Social responsibility and all that. In the time since, New York has become the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak… Continue reading Day Thirteen
To stem the rising tide of a pandemic, the residents of New York are put under lockdown. Life in the city grinds to a halt; no one goes into work and restaurants and bars are limited to take-out only options. News chyrons speak of medication being shipped to cities and team games being banned. Who… Continue reading Quarantined
