Six years… still feels like yesterday.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

#NOW Selina Cheng @selina_cheng was fired this morning by @WSJ , weeks after she refused to withdraw from her newly-elected chairmanship and renewed ex-com membership of @HKJA_Official despite demands from the Journal’s senior editors and her supervisor in the UK.

@matchakacha Pretty much. Which is weird, because no one *deserves* love. Love and worth aren't connected. Love isn't a reward for good behavior. It shouldn't be a treat people use to train each other.

A little over 5 years on Twitter, so approaching 5 years since 2019. Not really sure what to say about it.
Completely surreal to think that half a decade has gone by - feels like yesterday.
Hope everyone is safe and doing well.

It’s funny how for the US right, noble and genuine protest can only occur “over there” (in HK, wherever), and when it occurs at home, it’s some kind of foreign plot to undermine America

UPDATE: I got footage of the self-immolation at the Israeli embassy in DC.

The individual, wearing fatigues, introduces himself as “an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide.”

After ignition, he repeatedly yells “Free Palestine.”

Breaking: Tony Chung Hon-lam, the first youngest activist sentenced to jail under the National Security Law, announced today that he finished his sentence last June and has arrived in the UK to seek asylum.

Here is a thread about his story:

the number of likes and admiring comments in the QRTs and replies, am i going insane? is our collective cultural memory really so short?

1. Wish Agnes Chow well - she has been put through hell. Just hope she can and will live well in Canada.

2. This probably puts an end to openings for well-known dissidents released from jail to leave #HongKong. This is NOT Agnes’ fault: HK authorities are just evil.

@loubedana At least he’s honest? 😂😂

Edgar Ng loved the sea. Months before he took his own life in December 2020, Ng planned to give up his career as a Hong Kong accountant and was training to be a canoe coach.

"It was like watching a storm in slow motion," his husband Henry Li told @AFP. This is their story🧵1⃣

1/ Hong Kong in a nutshell: We have a beautiful harbour, lots of skyscrapers, and lots of police too... BTW, I think the reactions of the civilians -- who I'm going to assume are a mix of locals and Mainland tourists -- in the foreground of the photo is quite interesting/telling.

@LoneWilderness It’s not bad writing at all, nothing spectacular but definitely publishing quality. Just a shame it’s wasted on this plot :/

[Red 🇭🇰🏳️‍🌈 @HK_rtang]

I read that Cop x Protestor YA book (An Echo In the City).

Ask me anything.

[Red 🇭🇰🏳️‍🌈 @HK_rtang]

@anarkiseltonn Cop stops being a cop 💪

Girl also decides to “take a step back” from the protest movement…

But it’s set sometime in 2019 August?! Baffling. Wish that “stepping back” had been a choice for more folks then but not everyone lived in Repulse bay w/ country club membership.

[Red 🇭🇰🏳️‍🌈 @HK_rtang]

@FY4Chan Hm. Hard to actually make a call on that.

Protests are actually portrayed in a decently positive light. The timeline and facts are all incredibly incorrect, but I think it will garner some sympathy for the movement — doesn’t make it less exploitative though :/

[Red 🇭🇰🏳️‍🌈 @HK_rtang]

@Perrie_peri Oh yeah 😬😬
