Had a swell time at HOMSEA β25. Might just be my favorite conference yetβso much fascinating work from the historians of medicine. Of course, a trip to Yogyakarta would be incomplete without side quests to Borobudur (a bucket-list site for me since grade school) and Prambanan.

Ok this was all sorts of brilliant.
My MA thesis won a thing! Thanks to the Association of Southeast Asian Studies (ASEAS), the UK-based group, though it appears theyβre not on bluesky yet?
Climbed a mountain!

Meanwhile, in the Western Visayas where Iβm from, it is π₯swelteringπ₯ (there can be no in between i guess)
Have only been here a couple of days, but, judging by the latest one I just saw, these βstarter packsβ are starting to tell interesting stories of their own.π€π€
Finished a book! (that has almost nothing to do with my phd topic, but i digress)
If the news sites make a mass migration, that would probably be the end of Twitter for me.
Finally gave in; hello, blue app. Chartres was a dream last summer.
