The air quality in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area is really bad right now. It’s maxed out at 10+ on our AQI scale and at a 7 in the surrounding GTA. Stay safe out there 😷

'Hong Kongers with an English name aren't "real Chinese"' is some ridiculous artificial gatekeeping that pro-CCP Chinese nationalists created on par with how saying you can't be "true Chinese" unless you have a Qing dynasty ponytail.

This is actually one of my favourite photos from 2019. A bunch of overly geared up riot police, batons against umbrellas, not understanding their presence vindicates those words
This brings us to one of the most famous slogans from the HK pro-democracy protests: 是你教我們和平遊行是沒用 - 'It was you who taught us that peaceful protests are useless.'

People outside China should see this scathing post too imo, so please share!
People outside China should see this scathing post too imo, so please share!
![I'm really fed up with TikTok Refugees asking about the current situation of the LGBTQ in China, and then hundreds & thousands of cishet men & women rushing up to say "We don't care about sexual orientation", "We treat everyone equally", "no discrimination no promotion", "We're inclusive as long as you don't promote [LGBTQ ideology]."
Who says [we queer Chinese] belong to the same "we" as you guys?
If you really cared about the rights of sexual minorities, you wouldn’t say lightly such things as "Sexual minorities are not discriminated against here, we‘re all ordinary folks." Saying such words shows that the plight and suffering of sexual minorities are completely invisible to you. You think that "neither support or oppose" is a charity to minorities, and you even add "don’t [display your queerness] in public places" and "don't affect children." You‘re even proud of yourself for how tolerant you are. "We don't care", the world is now at peace [invoking Confucian term sarcastically].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:drrr6ze2djslmfocuwdlnipz/bafkreig2w4v36olkclaby5cryxaayyhz5dd36d4nr56pbqihpm4ztbeihq@jpeg)
![Yes, you don't care at all. You don’t care about the bullying sexual minority teenagers face at school; you don’t care about the difficulties transgender people face when job hunting; you don’t care about all those [LGBTQ] public welfare [social media] accounts that have been nuked; you don’t care about all those [LGBTQ] clubs that have been cancelled; you don’t care about all those [queer] characters on screen that have disappeared; you don’t care about the [queer-themed] books that have been removed from the shelves overnight; you don’t care about the rampant internet violence of [anti-LGBTQ] hate groups; you don’t care about the marginalization, fetishization, and stigmatization of sexual minorities; you don’t care about all the [queer] voices that have been silenced; and you don’t care at all about all the [queer] lives that have passed away. You are the principal who [temporarily] changes [his students' grueling] class schedule and greets his superiors with an [ingratiating] smile when they come to inspect [the school]; the domestic abuser who pretends to be affectionate [to his wife] in front of colleagues, relatives and friends; the "loving"[read: abusive] parents who put on another face when guests come over. All you care about is your mianzi [face].
“No discrimination no promotion” is a complete joke. I've seen how forcefully “no promotion” is enforced, but where is the enforcement of “no discrimination”? Cishets saying that LGBTQ people are already treated equally is like a man saying that we've long achieved gender equality, or an able-bodied person saying that people with disabilities already enjoy very convenient lives in China. Let the sexual minorities themselves determine whether or not they're discriminated against. You are a fish in the mainstream; you don't realize that you live in water. [yes, pun intended]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:drrr6ze2djslmfocuwdlnipz/bafkreifsg4kklcbno6nm3iw7sryofqazi3laf5d2gpwb2sd3vbn7zr6xgi@jpeg)
