the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.
Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it. The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them. The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

I still get birthday alerts for you and all the other Adaptive Path goons from syncing our contact list years ago.

I’ve never been able to turn them off, and at this point I probably don’t want to.

The Geordi LaForge meme. Top level, a picture of Geordi, holding his hand up toward the camera in a "Wait, hold up" position with his head tilted to his left shoulder. The text reads, "Do not comply in advance." Three bullet points, symbolized with red "x"s, are below and read "bossy," "already a cliche," and "implies permission to comply later." Lower level, a picture of Geordi, he's turned his head to the left and his hand is now pointing its index finger to the camera in a "That's right" gesture, his eyes, although invisible behind his visor, glow red. The text heading says, "Fuck you. Make me." Below are bullet points, now symbolized with green check marks, that read "leads by example," "directs yelling at opposition instead of allies," and "easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner."

We love Seoul so much.

Thought that location looked familiar so I dug through the photos from our trip in 2015. Changdeokgung Palace? Perhaps this exact corner right here?

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on a fucking search engine and learn how to pronounce that motherfucker. That shit could fill a whole horn-shaped basket with vowels.
