Hi! I'm Sam, your average twentysomething Millennial Trash™ who was attempting to live life in Toronto, but has temporarily relocated to South Korea. I think I'm the funniest person in the world and I eat too many cupcakes.

Too tall for Korean pants 🦒

It's Father's Day and that means it's story time! A few years ago during the holiday season, my dad needed some extra help around his office, and so he enlisted me to come in a few times a week. One day, the Ladies of the Office™ were tasked with putting up the Christmas tree. We were having a lil party about it and even uncorked some wine. One lady asked, "Sam, are you going to have a glass of wine?" Before I could answer, another responded, "Of course she is, she's Andy Kim's daughter!" And that's the day I learned that my father is the office drunk (though he maintains that he is merely known to enjoy a good drink). Cheers to you Padre and Happy Father's Day 🥂💖

**CW for body/weight talk and CW for me going on a body/weight related rant** - Over the past couple days, three different people have asked me if I lost weight. Honestly, I couldn't tell you for sure, because I intentionally don't own a scale. I know I would spiral into an obsession, as I have whenever I've lived at my parents' house (my mom's fancy bathroom scale was always hard to resist). But I know my body well enough to know that I generally fluctuate 10-15-ish pounds, and that I have some clothes that fit me better on either end of that range. The last time I tried to wear these shorts (sometime last summer), the unforgivingly stiff waistband left a bruise across my midsection after sitting for an extended period of time, which led me to put them squarely in my "wear only when on the lighter side" pile. So, out of curiosity, I tried them on today...and, lo and behold, a good fit. - One would think I'd be happy about this. And while my knee-jerk reaction was a positive one (internalized societal norms are hard to shake y'all), it was accompanied by the thought that is likely temporary. Because I know exactly why I've lost weight: I was on antibiotics for the past two weeks, which came with the side effect of greatly reducing my appetite. Like, there were days I was face-to-face with dessert and I genuinely didn't want to eat it, which if you know me, is literally unheard of. Another instance of weight loss caused by health issues! Yippee! - Anyway, the point is this: I don't take comments like "You've lost weight!" or "You look thin!" as compliments, because in all likelihood I'm going to gain it back in a few weeks. No matter the intention, the implication is that I'm only worthy of praise when I'm smaller, and when I'm bigger, I become less worthy. I don't like weight/size-related comments about my body and I never have. Before I actively started trying to unlearn all the diet culture BS, I'd be terrified of regaining the weight I'd (always inadvertently) lost, which I always did, because fluctuations are NORMAL. I urge everyone to stop saying this to people, or at the very least, think about it; why is the implication of thinness such a compliment?

Just a couple o' mandus cookin in some soup 🥟

Korea's patio season is approximately 2 weeks long because on one side is cancer air and on the other is "feels like 41°C" and 85% humidity 🍹
