I washed your shoes. I don’t like like your clothes. Where are you going dressed like THAT? You look like a homeless child. Let me iron that shirt. What’s up with that hair!? But you know I love you right? 👀 #lovelymother
So I’ve been home for one day now and my parents already smuggled all my clothes from my suitcase (shoes included) and washed, dried and ironed them. I think I should change my privacy policy as well 🤔#studentabroad

And by the way, my gift for my surprise birthday party was two tickets for the @ddlovato #TellMeYouLoveMeTour in Amsterdam! I am beyond happy!! Going with @Ilseee_interest ❤️❤️
Monday, two exams. Tuesday, day long conference. Wednesday, 8 hours shift at work. Thursday, bike under the storm for half an hour and then work for a 10 hours shift. And about last night: I got a surprise birthday party! Now, catching a very early flight.

Much understandable frustration at #DIAS2018 over the category in which #areastudies and #AsianStudies scholarship frequently gets pushed, and how Eurocentric and Orientalist boundaries get manufactured in academia.

“So @schneiderfa77 is alone, trying to tweet #DIAS2018 from 8 o’clock this morning but nobody’s sharing! There is no community!” To tweet or not to tweet, to community or not to community?

The Agus Brotherhood is a community of all the people called Augus in Indonesia “and this is... WEIRD” as nicely put by our panellist 😂 #DIAS2018

Ingster: 'When confronted with innovation in #China, the #USA is going through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - at the moment, though, the US is struggling through stages one and two: "how dare they innovate!"'. #CIRC16
