Correction: the Sunbeam Theatre's final night is tonight (March 3rd). The full house remark holds though.

Also, sharing a couple more pics: one from earlier today (yes, the final performances at the venue were an opera about Deng Xiaoping 😬); the other from last night.

Many of the headlines you will see will name Benny Tai and Joshua Wong. But there are 43 others who have been jailed, including a 68 yr-old socialist known as Long Hair and a 67 yr-old former journalist known affectionately as Auntie Mo. Yet others are unfamiliar to non-Hongongers.

Hyakuta apologised on twitter that it's 'dystopian analogy'

i don't think he meant it in a margaret atwood way, but was exactly going for it - to warn women of our potential futures for refusing (or simply delaying) marriage and reproduction that must come with it
hysterectomy after 30, no university after 18, and no marriage after 25. that someone can think of these in the first place - as science fiction to teach children about the time limit to have children - is just purely misogynistic and terrifying
