maslow's hierarchy of needs, but every layer just says "chop wood, carry water" in reference to a story about how the work to be done before and after enlightenment is the same
a half eaten toastie with the Open Chan mascot toasted into it in front of a box of Hawaii flavor iced tea. Beyond, the window displays a 7/11 logo in reverse, and the street view outside is out of focus
a warning not to throw anything into the toilet, but the image is someone using the toilet as a hotpot. the languages are chinese, japanese, and english
concrete wave breakers (tetrapods) line a rocky shore, receding into grassy hills
Clouds cast their shadows on the side of a mountain- it's all green and blue here otherwise- lush foliage blankets the hills from foreground to, dead center, Dongshan- East Mountain

a whirlpool tub, shower with a seat in ot, and toilet with a clear door for the freaks- don't worry, a door with clouded glass separates this whole scene from the next room

Atop a gallant gold-bedecked pure white steed, Kim Jong Un rides along a snowy mountain ridge towards the sunrise. Clouds behind him, and shadows rippling in the valleys below, he appears to be on top of the world, with a smile and an optimistic gaze to the horizon. This is, of course, propaganda, and I do not endorse its message.
Red Skull holds an infinity cube, grimming menacingly. The text is a recent quote from the American president: "A whole civilization will die tonight"
A picture of a Taiwanese freeway on a cloudy day. Jagged mountains fill the background. Please shout out how I can improve this passage if you have ideas.
a picture book in traditional chinese with zhuyin phonetic marks. The book is Pinnochio. I'm on page 13. Opposite the page I'm reading is a vocab notebook- now, this shit is crazy- it has two sides, for words and meanings, and you can fold tabs over the left or right side to conceal either column- like a whole page of flashcards at a glance. Maybe there's a way to fill it up with braille, Idk. If you're here because you're blind, I'd love to chat about the ways you find accommodations for every day literacy struggles. I know audiobooks exist, but they don't convey the color of a 7-11 sign walking down the road, you know of course. Godspeed stranger.
"It's more complex than that, it depends on the context" labels the classic five spout teapot meme. In this case, 4 of the cups the teapot is pouring tea into are labeled "history, sociology, anthropology, and economics"
A kobold wearing a green leather fur lined coat with white ermine ruffs and cuffs carries a tuba in one hand with his right hand on the pommel of a rapier, riding a flying carpet. All of this is 3D printed and hand painted. In the background: an amateurishly drawn vision of the same, with the kobold in the lotus position and playing the tuba. In the drawing his brain is exposed- a lingering injury

The roof and platform barriers frame the scene vertically- dark bars of metal. Between them, towers rise: red brick apartments behind older 4 story mixed-use townhouses, a windowless parking garage, modernist concrete and glass apartments too. The tops of trees lining the streets add a touch of nature, but behind all this, the smooth curves of lush, volcanic Yangmingshan offset a cloudy gray-blue sky, interrupted by the hundreds of unseen worlds of domesticity.

If it's out of your control don't give it the wheel. Garfield is driving a sick convertible with the top down and shades resting on his forehead.
An immortal, one of the all seeing eyes or all seeing ears of the gods (i guess) walks down the road past businesses and residences with offerings proffered, as traffic going the other direction is stopped at a red light
"The increasing incidence of aggressive behavior among children, such as crashing out when told "no" and teachers having to deal with trauma responses, is a pressing concern. It seems that these children have been permitted to view authority figures as punching bags. My suggested solution is mandatory enlistment. [...] They may be more likely to behave and respect authority"
The same comic as below, but with "America" having a nazi problem instead of twitter. "I'm staying to fix it. Did you know being a nazi... is bad?" Cue surprise from people wearing hitler shirts
麻辣火鍋 numbing spicy hotpot, with vegetables, tofu, duck meatballs, and a small cup of cola. Marbled beef rests in the background, waiting for its time.

Mister Donut bag, chocolate pon ring on a latte, and an e-reader displaying Pedro Paramo all resting on the table on back of a Taiwan HSR train. That's right, I'm back and if I ever go back to America, it will be too soon Since you're (still) here, I went back to America to see my Grandma, and as far as tragedies go, the timing couldn't have been more perfect. She died less than a week after I arrived, the day before I originally planned. I was going to bike around Taiwan, but decided I had to prioritize seeing her, because, can you imagine the guilt of missing being at her bedside while she convalesced in terminal distress to slowly putz around a variety of beaches? I would have known. Maybe guilt is a trap. Reject family, go to the beach. No, I can't say that in good conscience. Well. Now I have one less tether keeping me there.
