Pics from 2020 Taipei Pride (10/31/20) - blessed to have been able to march this time around 🙏⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ NC: After living in Brazil for a year, I began to engage my non-romantic relationships in a more intimate way than I had before in high school. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Through my experiences, I’ve come to respect friendship in the same regard as romantic relationships. In fact, platonic friendships are underrated, though not by coincidence, because society over-values romantic relationships. This is lowkey asinine and an unnatural view hegemonically forced upon us. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Friendships affect your life in the same way romantic relationships do. Popular art or media tend not to express or discuss the depth and nuances that friendships can take. In some ways, as Issa Rae says, “‘friendships are relationships. They are romances; you love your friends”. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ What do we do when it’s nobody’s fault? How can we accept, embrace, acknowledge, and heal from a breakup? In some ways, I think that this film, especially the ending, lets the audience know that you can be an older gay cisgender man and still want to desire and be desired while living in consummated memories. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ As demonstrated by the scene between A-Han and the older man in the park, older gay men deal with being abandoned by hegemonic social standards of desirability despite being the ones who paved the path for younger gay men to live as openly as they do. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ During their long midnight walk, A-Han and Birdy wrestle with all sorts of unresolved desires and the vagaries of time. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Birdy delivering the first “晚安” to A-Han, demonstrates his acknowledgement that he did, against all odds, love him, and that pushing him away did nothing to invalidate that fact. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ The time had come for them both to say aloud without regret, that this was a love where time flew by and didn’t pass a single bit, a time they’d always recall with a hint of fondness, a faulted love that if given the chance, they would do all over again.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ https://nomanisanis.land/your-name-conversation-part-one/⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

📌「 設計思維 」的核心價值 千萬不要看到「 設計思維 」就覺得是設計師才看得懂 它其實是一種創意的思考方法，可用在思索各種問題 . 👉什麼是設計思維 Design Thinking? 設計思維是以人為本的思考方法，透過挖掘人的真實需求、需要及痛點，在評估技術的可行性後 尋找創新的最佳解決方案，進而創造更多商業成功的可能性 . 👉以人為本的思考方法是什麼意思 ? 不用量化數據做理性分析，而是回歸到人的行為上，因為量化數據通常只會告訴我們早就知道的常態行為 🎯我們更應該聚焦非常態的行為，才能找到 Insight . 🔍舉例來說，每位顧客的平均消費金額是 500 元，但有位顧客買了 10,000 元，這時候就應該去觀察該顧客的購買行為和商品 進而思考，有沒有可能設計專屬的購物體驗，以吸引更多這類的顧客 . 👉創新思考不應該只靠想像，而是透過 1.Desirability ( 人的需求 ) 2.Viability ( 商業可能性 ) 3.Feasibility ( 技術可行性 ) 三者交互，才能真的創造 Experience Innovation ( 體驗創新 ) . 👉大家可以試著觀察日常生活中的各種「 非常態的行為 」，下一個成功創業家就是你，歡迎留言、分享或私訊 . 🎈喜歡記得追蹤 @work.thinking #工作 #上班 #上班族 #不想上班 #目標 #成功 #日常 #自由 #人生 #職場 #成長 #語錄 #習慣 #懶人包 #冷知識 #人際關係 #自我成長 #學習 #語錄分享 #正能量 #求職 #新鮮人 #同事 #大學生 #小人物職場 #設計思維 #思考 #創新 #designthinking

G I F T A fresh drop of @twgteaofficial’s “Darjeeling First Flush Tea” will take place tomorrow. Known as “the champagne of teas”, it is due to the unique terroir of this Northeastern region in India—cool temperature, high altitude, distinctive soil and rainfall—that yields such a highly-prized black tea. However, that is only half the story. The other half of Darjeeling tea’s desirability is attributed to the entire process from cultivation to harvesting to the way the plant is looked after. For a clearer understanding, I suggest steeping yourself in the inaugural “TWG Tea Origin Stories” by award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist @fraser_ross_morton and be captivated by the journeys he takes us on, through the renowned plantations that TWG collaborates with to conceive some of the world’s most exceptional harvests. You should be able to find them by searching for “TWG Tea Origin Stories” on YouTube. In the first film, #Darjeeling is the focus. Before settling down to watch earlier, I decided to brew myself a cup of the Phuguri FTGOP1, an exclusive @twgteaofficial first flush harvest and one of the most fragrant. Its finely-rolled olive green leaves from the Phuguri estate has the aroma of deep red summer fruits and leaves a lingering aftertaste of Brazil nuts and hazelnuts. Never had I encountered a Darjeeling tea so delicate yet complex until I took a sip of it. Now that my curiosity is piqued, I can’t wait to savour the Puttabong SFTGFOP1 and the Orange Valley SFTGFOP1 before (as advised by @relique) culminating my Darjeeling sojourn with the #DarjeelingFirstFlush 2020 Haute Couture Tea Collection. This exclusive offering in a tall slim tin is created by TWG’s CEO Taha, and features the best of all the single estates’ #tea blended together for the optimal balance of strength and complexity.
