Excited to have my 2nd @columbiagr.bsky.social book going into proofs: globalreports.columbia.edu/books/the-mi.... It focuses on youth activists in/from Bangkok, Hong Kong, & Burma, but addresses themes relevant to protests in other settings from today’s Seoul to the Soviet bloc during the Cold War

My thesis statement is as simple as "Emotions especially when it ties to moral judgement are important in the protest mobilization especially in care-related emotions eg. Compassion in Thai middle and highschoo protests. It could be well because if we were to protest, we need to care about the cause

And let's not forget that Chenjerai was hired to teach *journalism* at NYU, because he is an award-winning broadcaster. For doing the thing he was hired to teach, he is now being being declared "PNG" at NYU. Wild stuff.

Had a fantastic time at #NCA24 in New Orleans catching up with old friends and making some new ones ⚜️📿🎷 @yaseminbeykont.bsky.social @marandagoke.bsky.social @erikasolis.bsky.social @clctroy.bsky.social @saeeddabbour.bsky.social @v2902s.bsky.social #NCA2024

It was lovely to meet @saeeddabbour.bsky.social and @v2902s.bsky.social and cannot wait to get together again in future conferences! @sydneyforde.bsky.social @erikasolis.bsky.social

Just got proof that I really did a presentation in #nca2024 thanks

Related/ not related, one of the things I really admired the HK press corps for over the last few years is that most of them have been actively, passionately documenting the demise of their own freedoms

Niao's post got me thinking of this protest rally by Hong Kong journalists and their supporters in July 2019. One of my memories if it involves Claudia Mo standing quietly by while others said their piece. (A member of the Hong Kong 47, Ms Mo was a journalist before becoming a politician-activist.)

C: 沒有暴徒 只有暴政 E: "No rioters, only tyranny"/ "There are no rioters, only a tyrannical regime" Slogan born from the HK govt first branding protestors on 12 June as 'rioters', and later popularised by 1 Jul Legco occupiers with their banner Source: TG (L: Jul 19, R: Oct 19)

I'm going to start collecting threads on HK protest art in one place. Easier to walk down memory lane, even if they be filled with tears and teargas. Having these in many places mean the images are harder to erase. And harder to forget.

First time #nca24 and first time #NOLA + US. Sleepy cause didn't have a good sleep because of my thesis(due this sunday/beijing time) and this flight (14+ hours from shanghai) for a single presentation 😭💀
