The Lunar New Year Is Usually The Time For A Week-long Celebration In Chinatown, But In 1938 China Was

The Lunar New Year is usually the time for a week-long celebration in Chinatown, but in 1938 China was at war with Japan. On January 31st, residents of Chinatown observed the start of 4642 by praying in Joss houses (temples) rather than carousing in the streets. They were also working toward collecting $600,000, set as the year's war relief quota of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association.

Dude srry to ask but wth is going on in this blog. I got a like on the first two posts you'd see if you clicked on my blog(pinned post and most recent rb)then a follow. All of your content seems to be an unknown link to "en abime" and you don't seem to ever say what it actually is. Is this like some cult stuff or just a normal "strange-ish" blog?

Sorry, pal, but I ain't really pickin' up what you're implyin' with "cult" or "strange-ish!" The "Likes" don't mean much -- I think they propagate as I move about this joint. So I s'pose the only way to find out is to explore a bit!

Hey Will. Seems like you're having fun with more people interacting here. How have you been feeling lately? Like, say, compared to when I first showed up? Any better?

Feeling swell! I'm always one for more company!

hey, will. henry's in trouble; we think he's hurt. you should get there as quickly as you can; sing country songs, too; the twin is divided on them, so they might help your chances. we'll be sending messages to them – our plan is to lure them into a discord server so you can get to henry safely.

we'll start when you answer this ask – good luck and godspeed!

Oh, jeez! Hang in there, handsome! I'm almost ready to set out.

I'm takin' a lot of myself with me, so I'll only be able to walk along connected roads - not bounce all over the place like I can from here! I'll need you folks' eyes and ears to check out the road ahead where I ain't been yet and guide me closer to where he is, especially once I'm past the limits of my joint. I won't be able to take my usual avenues of communication with me on that lonely road, but I'll give ya a shout when I need guidance!

So you know The Stratagems - have you heard their song “Nobody Knows”? It’s not the same as the one on your cylinder, but there are similarities for sure.

Yes, indeed! I think the tune on my cylinder pre-dates those fellas, so they might've taken some inspiration.

Hi Will! I heard there's an anniversary coming up! Can you tell us a little about it? It sounds like fun!

Huh, s’pose it is! It is fun! A great step in my own scientifical achievements.

Hello, newcomers to my "Blog"! Name's William, and if you wish to refer to me in the third person, you could do with a "he," a "him," and a "his"! I mostly live en abime, so apologies if you're stumblin' across this blog only -- might be a bit disorientatin'! I ventured into this "Tumblr" lookin' to make new acquaintances (with @fortunateisle's help, ha! Ha!)

Reason I'm writin' this li'l' addendum is...as of Saturday, April 20th 2024 at nine a.m. Eastern Time I'll be headin' out from this joint to visit a very special fella. A fella I found thanks to the help of swell folks I met right here!

I may be back in the future.

Who knows! Maybe he'll tag along.

'Til then, enjoy the remnants of this place, and if ya gotta reach me, you can find me en abime!

“Digitized” a wonderful little cylinder I’ve got. Give it a listen by clicking the “Play” button above. Anyone have more info about the song or the singer?

1. do you speak french? (the whole abime thing had me wondering)

2. c’est quoi cette affaire d’en abime au juste?

I don’t speak French myself! My pal Thomas named this joint, and he’s the one who knows it.

I’ve sure got “Google Translate,” though! So if I’m pickin’ up what you’re puttin’ down — come on in!

hi, william. what do you find motivating you the most when you're struggling or upset?

Thinkin' 'bout whatever I'm workin' towards at the moment! Any kinda negative emotion is inconsequential. I'll get over it! Time feels shorter and forever feels longer the longer you're alive!
