I really wish I'd known anyone with your perspective when the Occupy protests were going on here in the US. Everyone around here was either "occupy is completely useless and won't accomplish anything no matter what" or "occupy is life! occupy can do no wrong! we are the people!!!11" neither of which was very realistic =/ Anyway, thank you for all your blogging about what's going on in HK, I appreciate seeing your point of view on my dash a lot!

i’m glad you’ve found my posts helpful :) and i hope you don’t mind that i’m answering this publicly

tbh #1 the Occupy Central movement in HK has no affiliation with Occupy Wall Street, and at this point in time bears almost no resemblance to them either. Occupy Central started out as a sit-in camp of sorts under the HSBC building in Central district (the main business/financial district) with similar complaints/aims as Occupy Wall Street. that was in 2012, and it was a very small group of people, it lasted for a few months but eventually they were kicked out by the police (non-forcefully/violently, i think).

this current “Occupy Central” movement is completely different from the 2012 one, although many of the reasons why people in HK are upset in general are the same things that the 2012 Occupy Central group were protesting (large wealth gap, real estate costs, etc).

#2 the protests were actually the result of two different groups. one group was comprised of political student organizations, like Scholarism and the HK Federation of Students. these groups organized the class boycotts/student strikes that took place two weeks ago. the weekend before last, some students tried to enter Civil Square in front of the government buildings to protest, their presence there was deemed illegal (even though the space is supposed to be public space), some of the students got arrested.

Occupy Central, which was planning a civil disobedience campaign/planning to “occupy” the Central district on Chinese national day on Oct 1, bumped *their* planned protest up to the date the students got arrested in reaction to what happened.

many of the students were actually angry about that as they felt that Occupy Central was piggybacking off of their movement, even though they want similar things (the differences are in the details).

right now, the Occupy Central “organizers”/figureheads have actually called for the protest to stop, but it’s expanded into something way bigger than these original groups, and nobody is really in charge.

titianarchivist said: Yeah, sounds like that dude is being pretty obnoxious, I’m sorry =/ I’m relieved I’m not the only one who hates video calls though, like, at least on the phone I can draw or pace or w/e and don’t have to focus on making the right facial expressions..

thanks ><

and yeah like... hanging out a cafe one on one or something is one thing, there's other stuff going on around you and you can, like, physically interact with each other, but on video you're literally just... staring at each other... and yeah when i'm on the phone i usually pace or move around or do other shit at the same time that doesn't require any concentration/focus, but you can't do that on video :/ and at home i'm usually in my PJs or lounging around or whatever and then start feeling self-conscious about looking frumpy, but at the same time don't want to make the effort to ~dress up~ or do my face for a *video call* when i don't have any other plans that day/evening :/

Also, Amberite, Aewin, and Titian are making me want to make tentacle-shaped biowire jello shots full of magenta goop. 

Y'all are terrible influences.

oh wow — the aradia/sollux is really intense, but man, I wasn’t expecting the scourge sisters feelings. I don’t usually feel sorry for vriska but here you got me. and terezi! ;n; huge halfway-round-the-world high five.

I don't have any cute animal facts =( But I got to do some actual bodysurfing sort of near my house recently and it was great! The waves around here aren't usually good for that and the water is usually freezing so =P And the new(ish) Xmen film is pretty good! And uh one of my goals for this summer is to learn to bake more than like three things, which I'm sure is going to mostly end with me making caramel sauce and cream cheese frosting and eating them with a spoon :D Happy things, I guess??

1. Bodysurfing is SO FUN, so yay bodysurfing!2. I'm finally seeing DoFP tomorrow, and also am looking forward to throwing my hat in the ring of, "Yeah, it was pretty okay!" Tumblr opinions :D3. OOOOH, you'll have to blog your adventures! Baking is a hobby that I don't really make time for nowadays, since there's someone way better at baking in the house, but I still have a nigh-obsessive love of complicated recipes and food science and love watching other people tackle things :D I think you followed me on the tail end of when I was still doing follower greetings, but there is a wealth of things to be found in my recipe tag, if you are interested! (I would particularly recommend the biscotti recipe on the second page as being simple but impressive-lookin'.)

Hi! The post you reblogged by cucumberbritches appears to be false. The photo is of a girl who was kicked by a kangaroo (top post on tumblr user twistedpseudonym's blog links to a relevant wsj video) and the "cnn article" never existed. Sorry I can't put links in an ask but I hope this helps!

In reference to this post.

Oh you’re right. Thank you for telling me :D Gold star for you dearie.

I did a reverse image search and it appears it was an attack by a kangaroo. Sometimes I don’t verify what appears on my dashboard so really, thanks for going through the trouble of telling me.

You can send links through the submission box or the fanmail. I don’t mind.

You go, titianarchivist, four for you.

My fellow Helmsman fans, I forgot to tag you in the post itself but you should totally check out the song I posted in the helmsman and psiioniic tags. It is a perfect helmsman song if you ask me! :>
