Wrote about the week. How the shooter's ID didn't appear to matter to ppl. How the discourse takes place in very same spaces that incubate/perpetuate hate & violence. How shooters now know that their acts will be flattened, analyzed, argued over & amplified. How all of this feels so dark & poisonous
Something Is Very Wrong Online
Our political conversations take place in very same spaces that incubate and perpetuate unthinkable violence.

I am the first MP to be refused entry on arrival to Hong Kong since 1997.
Authorities gave me no explanation for this cruel and upsetting blow.
I hope the Foreign Secretary will recognise that this is an insult to all parliamentarians and seek answers from the Chinese Ambassador.

報道｜黃耀明：想過離開香港 我的世界在所有地方 | Wave. 流行文化誌
黃耀明早前到加拿大卑詩大學與二百名聽眾分享，對於在香港無法開演唱會，他坦言曾想過離開香港，但為著牽絆的人和事，他決意留下，直到不能。但演唱會不一定要在香港，如很多香港人一樣漂流在外，黃耀明闊別加拿大五年後，「邊走邊唱」巡遊演唱會漂到多倫多及溫哥華兩地舉行。
