“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Some Random Taiwanese Objects


The creamiest yam I have ever eaten, like caramel.

Bean curd made from green beans.

Garbage trucks that play Für Elise.

Camphor trees.

7-11s that are not 7-11s (not even in terms of ownership).

Pots of tea for my talk.

Small red bananas.

Ten types of mushroom in my soup.
