  • Marriage wasn’t important to me, either - I was with my now husband for many years before we tied the knot. I’d never been one for the traditional big wedding, wasn’t sure what difference it would make, etc.

    What changed? My Mum died - and in all the times at hospital and then dealing with the funeral etc - I realised just how important being “next of kin” actually is. In so many ways. And while you can cover most of your bases with various legal documents - honestly there’s already a super easy way, that is very well understood all over the world, that achieves this.

    And while I wasn’t expecting it to feel any different afterwards, it really did - for both of us. More certainty and just really solid.







  • Isn’t this a screenshot from Twitter/X?! So - probably a bot.

    I’m not American, but downloaded RedNote (Little Red Book) to see what the fuss was about and it’s been a charming experience. I’m particularly loving the cooking videos!

    Very very interesting to see normal Americans and normal Chinese people have discussions together on a social media app. And for them to show each other “slice of life” videos. Probably the first time that this has ever happened?

    Utterly hilarious situation, tbh.
