With the COVID-19 pandemic upon us, and social distancing becoming a moral necessity, please spare a thought for all the people who will be essentially trapped in a home with violent and otherwise abusive partners and parents. For months.
Seriously how is pointing out that #ICAO has been blocking accounts mentioning its exclusion of #Taiwan “augmenting risks to the safety & security” of its staff?

Good to see my institute stands up for #HongKongStudents @ #HongKongProtesters. Students can send emergent enquiries to [email protected] (as announced @ https://t.co/wOTol000L5).
Wonder if academics struggling @ #HongKong would receive similar aids...
