@nytimesworld by day - book binges by night

[Tiffany May @nytmay]

I wrote about Hong Kong’s vibrant, bustling bookshops. As the national security law criminalizes much political speech, booksellers walk a fine line between compromise (how much) and survival (how long). For readers, they offer connection in a changed city.https://t.co/kxIri1m3G3

In the past three decades, David Webb has almost single-handedly taken on the rich and powerful in Hong Kong, tirelessly campaigning for greater transparency from public companies. Read our profile of the activist investor here (gift link): https://t.co/bcx6ZDkKZ3

Hong Kong-born Elim Chan is among the up-and-coming orchestra conductors shaking up the classical music world.

"I am proud of the fact that there is actually this thing called a 'Hongkonger', a very cool hybrid quality," she told @AFP.

“The fear and unease the press in Hong Kong have been facing for years now has equally affected The Journal’s management, even though they’re far away on different continents,” @selina_cheng

Hong Kong Journalists Association chair Selina Cheng said she was fired from the Wall Street Journal over press freedom advocacy.

Cheng was told by her WSJ supervisor that her role leading the press union was "incompatible" with her job.

Today I was fired from the Wall Street Journal.

This is my statement:

This June 4 marks #Tiananmen35. For @TheNation, I write about grieving and preserving memory from an ocean away, amid violent crackdowns of Students 4 Gaza encampments, and why reclaiming the legacy of Tiananmen demands releasing it from Cold War politics:

What an indescribable feeling it is to see @ColumbiaSpec on the latest cover of @NYMag. Our very own student journalists reported, wrote, photographed, and illustrated a three-story package that gives an intimate portrait into Columbia University: a campus in crisis.

[Irie Sentner @iriesentner]

For @POLITICO Nightly, I wrote about what it's like being a senior at @Columbia while simultaneously reporting on a campus I hardly recognize.

Incredible testimony on CNN Monday from Emily Callahan, an American nurse who was in Gaza w/ Doctors Without Borders but evacuated.

She reports almost starving to death, 4 toilets shared by 50,000 & the extraordinary bravery of her local colleagues there.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Doctors in Gaza say they are performing surgeries without anesthesia after Israeli bombings and blockades led to shortages of medicine, water and fuel.

“We choose who gets ventilation by deciding who has the best chance of survival,” one doctor said.

Thousands of aid workers in Gaza are sticking with their jobs — with little sleep and limited resources — all while trying to stay alive. As of Friday, 53 UN staff members were killed by Israeli airstrikes, according to UNRWA. https://t.co/gC9WjFmL35

[Raja Abdulrahim @RajaAbdulrahim]

While sheltering in the basement amid Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City, @nytimes freelance journalist Ameera Harouda drew birds and butterflies on the hands of her 3-year-old son Taim to try to keep him calm.

"Draw food for them too so the birds can eat," Taim told his mom. #Gaza

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

As news bureaus lose contact with their crews & reporters in #Gaza—those independently bearing witness to provide info about developments and the human toll of this war—the world is losing a window into the reality of all sides engaged in this conflict.

[Yousur Al-Hlou @YousurAlhlou]

For Tasneem Ismael Ahel, sporadic access to WhatsApp is one of the few outlets for sharing her firsthand account of Israel's war in Gaza: raw reflections on death, despair and shattered dreams sent via audio messages from a territory under siege.

[April Zhu 朱萸 @aprzhu]

I wrote about Chinese diaspora churches and the thin line between longform journalist and native informant. It's an essay about the piece I most regret writing.

From today's @nytimes. Thanks again to @nytmay for this outstanding profile of leading #Uyghur poet Tahir Hamut Izgil. It's been a privilege translating @TahirIzgil's poetry & memoir, and it's so good to see how his work is raising awareness of the crisis in the Uyghur homeland.

[Eric Yan-ho Lai 黎恩灝 @laiyanhoeric]

Timely report by ⁦@nytmay⁩ and great quote from the business community that could be affected had the injunction been given. My take is that, we have to wait and see how the governments of Hong Kong and PRC will respond. https://t.co/YCTZh61tQp

[Joshua L. Freeman @jlfreeman6]

Powerful essay in @nytimes today by leading #Uyghur poet Tahir Hamut Izgil, translated by me.

"The defense of Uyghurs’ human rights is the defense of human rights everywhere. If repression can be contagious, so can justice." — @TahirIzgil

Really nice piece from @latimes @StephanieAYang featuring many of the people who have jumpstarted Taiwan’s MeToo movement https://t.co/ApjixElnIp

National security threats in HK are not just about well known activists and politicians. There are ppl from all walks of life whose names you have seldom, if not never, heard of, caught by the sedition offence and convicted at the lowest level of court:
