Curious whether 'screen time' includes more traditional media such as TV shows and movies? (Or is limited to algorithmic-driven social media and online scrolling?)

Look what I got in the mail! @catielila.bsky.social @jimmillward.bsky.social @jagevans.bsky.social and Taomo Zhou

The sheer moral injury of being alive as a middle class American and having nothing you can do but post and peaceful protest with a cute little poster… man, I’m really worried we’ll spend the rest of our lives living in shame from this moment. Not secondhand shame

COVID-19: Group raises over US$50,000 in virus aid for vulnerable - Taipei Times Bringing Taiwan to the World and the World to Taiwan

You are amazing, @pybaubry.bsky.social! :) Thank you so much for continuing your donations and support! :) (In 2021, we managed to raise about $50k USD for 5 local organizations in Taiwan).

社團法人台灣芒草心慈善協會 ｜關注無家者的公益組織 芒草心慈善協會是一個關注無家者議題的公益組織，由一群服務無家者的一線人員於2011年成立，一開始以國際交流為主，從2014年開始擴展版圖，以「直接服務」及「社會溝通」雙主軸協助無家者及貧困者。

In 2021, when the pandemic hit Taiwan, nice people on Twitter launched a fundraising for local NGOs (I have the feeling @catielila.bsky.social was among them, apologies if I'm wrong). Since then, I have been supporting the Homeless Taiwan Association. Here's their website for more info:

Yes. And yes!!

Thank you Gina for bringing us all together! :)

Delighted that our Decolonizing Chinese History Roundtable is now available in Chinese translation as a book! Thanks to the wonderful team at Uli books and for my brilliant co-authors @jimmillward.bsky.social @catielila.bsky.social Taomo Zhou, and James Evans

“There is no single Taiwan story, much as various groups have continually tried to stamp one imprint on its past and future. It is a glorious cacophony.” Michelle T. King reviews two new books on Taiwan’s modern history. https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/one-island-many-histories/

Congrats, Lev! :)

Sincerest thanks, James! From both me and @mhar4.bsky.social. So grateful for the way you've engaged with the book :)

Review of Mark Harrison and Catherine Chou's book 'Revolutionary Taiwan'

"Packed with elegant analogies, deftly illustrated examples, and subtle but clear, compelling arguments, this book is both educational and immensely enjoyable." […]

The book is fairly essayistic and digressive - we wanted to bring that kind of spirit to the writing, since so much of what is written about Taiwan is by necessity direct, compressed, highly empirical and data-driven. So it was a bit of an experiment in style and approach :)

Hello my friend, I have not forgotten you. I just made a small donation. You and your family are in my prayers. I wish only better things going for you all going forward 🙏

I look forward to reading this book by two of the most astute observers of Taiwanese history and society.

For anyone interested in truly understanding Taiwan and its people, I would recommend you seek out their writing.

Thank you so much for these kind words, Timothy! Mark and I would be honored to have you as a reader 🙂 cc: @mhar4.bsky.social

Warmest thanks to @jamesbaron.bsky.social from me and @catielila.bsky.social for this generous review of our book "Revolutionary Taiwan: Making nationhood in a changing world order."

Thanks for reading, Graham :) I also hate having one-day-a-week, 3-hour-at-a-time classes. Terrible structure, I would like to have a word with whoever decided that all Taiwanese college classes should be arranged this way :/

For Broadsides, the blog of the North American Conference on British Studies, I wrote on restarting my academic career in Taiwan, a place that underwent a fierce struggle for democracy & freedom of speech in the 80s & 90s, at a time when both are under threat in the US www.nacbs.org/post/teachin...

🙏 to @briankerg.bsky.social for having me & @mhar4.bsky.social on @cimsec.bsky.social's podcast to discuss "Revolutionary Taiwan". Why was democratization in Taiwan linked to demilitarization & why does Taiwan need to remilitarize now to protect its democracy? 🎹 to learn! cimsec.org/sea-control-...

Thank you so much, Brian, for having us on the podcast. Grateful to you and your listeners! :)
