Since earlier today, an endless stream of Hong Kongers have come to Tai Po to pay their respects and mourn the lives lost to the fire. Some people estimate that they have waited in line for up to 2 hours so they could lay down their flowers.

Bamboos are flame resistant & bamboo scaffolding have been in use for over a century in Hong Kong 🎋
The massive fire was accerlated by the cheap netting used by the construction company. If you see any mis/disinformation, please reach out to journalists & media orgs to correct them 🙏🏼

Financial precarity. Yes university students have always been living on their last 20 bucks, but the number of students I talk to now who have *multiple* jobs in addition to being fulltime students, some of whom are taking care of family members' survival needs as well as their own, is shocking. 5/

It's itchio Creator Day and I just want to take the time out to recommend some TRPGs. My first recommendation is "Ex-Capes" from by Jim Crocker. It's a game about former superheroes who must wrestle with their pasts, coming out of retirement to save the world once more. Shades of Powers, Watchmen.
