@mastodonmigration @heidilifeldman I'm not even an American, but people who do understand the danger we're *all* in and are trying to do *what they can* needn't feel ashamed on behalf of the sociopaths (i.e. those not caring about what happens to others).

I know that many decent Americans were regrettably preoccupied during trump 1.0 when the Chinese dictatorship crushed #Hongkong's struggle for democracy and civil rights in 2019-2020 (#trump didn't lift a finger and even denied pleas for political asylum...), but I remember you speaking up. 🙏

Having witnessed the struggle, the resulting repression and the weaponization of courts against the finest people of Hong Kong I genuinely understand what is at stake in the USA with your own ethnic supremacist fascist coup.

It is painful to look at the United Nations' human rights charter and see how over the past decades we allowed greedy profiteers to set our foreign policies instead of standing by that admirable document countries signed up for.

We need a global alliance prioritizing *democracy* over any business empowering despots.

We had so many many chances *and reasons* to do that when it would have been easy.

Now it's going to be fucking hard but we need that commitment more than ever.

(Thought experiment: would the rich elite support fascism in any country if they knew it was going to destroy their business prospects in all other developed democracies?)

My cousin Philip Ng told me to check out an #exhibit of his #film Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In and that it had a life-size figure of him. A couple weeks ago I did, and look what/who's the very first thing you see when you enter. 😂 Phil's was the only character featured like this, and people were posing with him—wild. #Immersive #exhibition at Airside (a new #mall designed by #architecture firm Snøhetta) in Kai Tak (where the old airport used

#Hongkong a city of movers and shakers.
Although Hong Kong is known for its hot and humid summers there are still many people practising #sport outdoors.
This was exhilarated during the pandemic when many gyms were closed.
Over the last decades both sides of Victoria Harbour have seen the development of long stretched promenades that invite strollers and joggers to take a breather while enjoying the vast views of the Hong Kong #skyline.

When hiking up the hills behind one of the many estates in #Hongkong it is very likely that one would come across some makeshift common areas like an open air gym, a communal open air tea kitchen, or maybe some type of gardening lot. Hong Kongers are as creative as any urbanites in reclaiming space and making it their own - especially in those urban/nature frontiers. Many times, those spaces seem to replace the living rooms of the locals, offering them a refuge from cramped living quarters. One more curious thing that one might stumble across are legions of #gods, or rather porcelain god statues. These gatherings are not as random as they may seem though. The statues symbolize the importance of those deities to local people and stand for disruption in their human's lives. Whether it was a move, or death those gods lost their place in their human's home. But who could throw away a deity? That is why many end up with peers in some secluded spot on the hills and mountains of Hong Kong - maybe abandoned but not lonely.
