I'm trying to think positive thoughts and be happy but, today of all days, it's hard to do. Instead, I feel like breaking things... and wish I could do all this as easily as my hero, @funassyi !
@ThrowbackAFC The first Arsenal star I saw in action. (Malcolm "Supermac" Macdonald sounded cooler but, truly, it was Brady who impressed most when viewed in action!)
I know I have been Tweeting A LOT about June 4th and it's now June 6th in Hong Kong... but just wanted to let it be known that a friend of mine messaged me this evening to tell me that she had completed a 37 hour fast to honour Chow Hang-tung as well as in memory of 6/4... 🙏😭
@wendellsandico OMG! This! To the directors/stars of the films whose post screening Q&As I've walked out of: I am sorry and it was not you but the STOOPID questions (some of them rhetorical, really) I really didn't want to listen to.
Worth noting that the woman pictured below is Chan Po-ying, former chairperson of the now disbanded League of Social Democrats, and the wife of Hong Kong political prisoner "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung.
Police confirm 7 persons (5 men & 2 women), ages 17 to 79 were detained on suspicion of disrupting [public] order in Causeway Bay yesterday on June 4 on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protest crackdown. No official charges were filed and those detained have been released
I will never understand that mindset of the pro-gov "blue ribbons" who celebrate the June 4 Tiananmen crackdown. Placing aside the historical revisionist view of calling it a "colour revolution", celebrating mass death of civilians shows a downright lack of humanity.
Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.
How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.
Hong Kong police are launching another bad driving/jaywalking blitz for the next two weeks starting today.
Which means it's time to bring out the 15m rule. Remember, crossing the road within 15m of a crosswalk or over/under pass may cost you $2k.
"To receive this on June 4 is deeply humbling. I accept it with deep gratitude — but not as mine alone."
Tonight, @frances_hui accepted the 2026 Dissident Human Rights Award from @VoCommunism. She dedicated it to the students of Tiananmen, to the two million Hong Kongers who marched for freedom, and to her friends still sitting in #HongKong's prison cells.

@RaccoonDojo 7/21/2019, was horrifying. Also, 8/31/2019. And before that, 6/12/2019. All three had me upset and staying up late into the night. With those, instead of "just" watching TV, I was also frantically messaging friends to make sure they were okay in the case of 7/21 and sharing pain.
I was living in London at the time, and watched the BBC coverage of what happened. I cried a lot and had problems sleeping that night. When I went to work the next day, my boss told me, "Go home and rest". Later, I learnt he had watched it all too. And was similarly horrified.
