It feels like men in China are slowly falling into insanity for not being able to get laid. (Or maybe not slowly.)

Allowing Kanye West of all people to do a concert in Shanghai is the perfect example of the double standard of China’s censorship.

Personally, I don’t give a fuck when any nuclear site or military base is bombed in any country. I will start to care when they start bombing civilians, which unfortunately is likely to eventually happen.

Maybe people are not radical enough when advocating for trans rights. Cos when you look back at all the fights for equality in the last century, there were all some violence involved.

As a millennial I often feel lucky to have lived through the pre-Xi era on Chinese internet. Both Chai Jing’s book and Shao Yibei’s song Huanghun came out in that era, along with other writers, lawyers, journalists actively spreading progressive ideas.

I used to think that before I die I have to have a romantic relationship. Now I just think before I die I have to go to a pride parade for once (at least).
Maybe next year. Let’s pray I can go to Thailand next year.

看了几天大家关于特权的讨论，受益良多。也思考了很多。
在这里，我想试着厘清一些混在一起、却本质不同的问题：
什么是特权？
什么是中国式特权？
为什么指出特权不等于判罪？
为什么面对特权不能沉默？
为什么指出特权，跟我自己处在什么位置无关？
看见自己的特权之后，怎么办？

感到痛苦。許許多多曾發生的、正發生的和未能發生的抗爭，都只是為了人們能按照自己的意願生活而已。

我这个人本来真的只是容易有逆反心理而已，根本没有多少真正的政治思想，喜欢国外也仅仅是为了各种影视和音乐而已。我本来也不是很感兴趣女权，根本没法跟真正关心女权的朋友比。
但是一而再再而三地发生（海棠作者被抓）这种事情。

There have always been queer people everywhere, and many countries have their own queer rights movements, but Pride started in the USA and spread over (most of) the world. I always appreciate that.
