Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

@heezyyang Omg... packing my cats was also the first thing I did 🫠 ...Btw where did you buy the backpack carrier?

Seoul city disapproved Seoul Pride's use of Seoul Plaza for July 1st. On that day, a concert will be held by a Christian organisation at the plaza instead.

This first call was made 4 HOURS before the disaster occured.

[Erik Sandström @eriksandtweets]

As more details come out about the Itaewon disaster, I keep getting more upset by how this could have been prevented. 11 calls to the police, and only 4 times were officers sent out. I (very roughly) translated the first call earlier to share with some friends...
