Out of the blue Sanjeev Panjabi (Spasm Design Architects) sent me a picture of the two of us at the house that graces the cover of my book, #CourtyardLiving. I wasn’t expecting to see the book for weeks! And now I'm fondling all my advance copies. Doodoodoodoo. @thamesandhudson.

@marcosharpy @kevinkwong11 @VivienneChow I know! I was just saying, “Can I help it if I start singing STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE every time I see the pic?” Which, btw, is on the wall of police HQ just by Tamar! I shot it after a march cos it looked so silly (after all that has happened).

I also said: "Can I help it if I start singing 'Stop in the name of love'" every time I see that #HongKongpolice cartoon, which, btw, was on wall of HK police HQ. Weird for account to be blocked. Never happened to me before.

Yesterday's hanging of six Aum Shinrikyo members on death row means all behind 1995 sarin attack on Tokyo's subway have been executed. At least that's what they say. There must have been many more who plotted to bring about Armageddon.
