tout ensemble, ça sert à aroser notre monde d’espoir dans une ère de folie et de peste.
疫情之中，經朋友又發現一可以抽水的影片。吸引我是多人戴口罩的一幕。
話說歌曲唱的是環境問題、市民參與等等，但若果把covid-19放遠點跟愛滋病毒hiv、伊波拉ebola比較，人類愈來愈大的足跡，跨進少接觸動物嘅生態環境，是否一次又一次生化危機的幕後黑手？
a seemingly unrelated song on citizen engagement and environmental pollution, but the snapshot of everyone in masks caught my attention and brought us back to the current covid-19 crisis. are our footprints too big that the present and further problems are unavoidable?
能夠令極端資本主義減慢下來的，不是社會運動，而是新冠肺炎。你有否見過黃昏七點便關門的麥當勞快餐店？如果不是商場阻止，麥記打十號風球都不會停下來。然而今次這商場因為過境的碼頭停用，內裡的商舖也頓變冷清。停止營業的計有銀行、餐廳、中醫、藥房等等，但看看通告便知各家的公關手段。個別受疫情影響生意難做的，幹嘛寫成“裝修”呢？大環境影響，又不是自己錯也不敢寫出事實，這些公司內部文化真是有啲問題喎！
neither typhoon signal number ten nor the prolific social movement of 2019 can barely touch upon the religiously capitalistic machinery of hong kong. then came covid-19, who made a steady and rapid ascent with the year of the rat, and like stepping on brakes did it achieve in sabotaging the capitalistic rat race with just a few dozens of cases and counting, in february 2020. whether it is tcm clinic, restaurant, bank or pharmacy, their branches in this shopping arcade which serves also as a ferry terminal to mainland china and macao decided to temporarily close the doors until perhaps the community outbreak of the virus retreats, if their leases last that long. what perplexed me was the lie a few of the notices posted “renovation” as the pretext, what were the management thinking? it wasn’t the company’s fault, but external, uncontrollable circumstances that require cost-cutting measures. if there is anything, it makes me think thrice about the integrity of these corporations for if they need a pretext foe something they didn’t do, imagine when they really make an error or put their customers in harms way, they probably would find tons of excuses to rid themselves of responsibility! so consumers beware, separating the good crops from the rotten few in the time of covid-19.
兩個月嚟的示威、抗議、遊行多不勝數，未能緊貼於網誌上更新是因為發生的事太多、太密亦沉重。先轉發一張電視台的照片，簡單闡述部分大事的經歷。
疑似黑社會人士，你都唔好話唔似。其實早幾日某晚上見人開始貼黑紙仔，點知貼出嚟咁神似！最該煨就係呢個係乜乜專業人士呢！老實講呢啲人真係丟晒光明正大嘅新界人架！

post-it portrait profiling pathetic psychopath personage
it has been a busy june in hong kong. while cramped an occasional irrelevant post like the bread post into the fin-du-mois line up, this one jolted the hong kong protests aside as june 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of of the stonewall uprising. the struggle is far from over if one looks at the gender, social, economic, racial, etc. discrimination directed at lgbqtsti people, still rampant and sometimes vicious.
just like the poster of audre lorde project reads “the history of stonewall is trans”, and to that we should add people of color (i.e. latina/o/x, africans/blacks in usa’s problematic lingo) as a substantial number of them were among those courageous enough to revolt against the police raid.
as with many movements, those who pushed through the front line, the most radical, the most marginalized did not see or had benefited minimally from the fruits of their struggle. sylvia rivera actually had relaunched street transvestite action revolutionaries (S.T.A.R.) a year or so before the end of her life, if that’s benchmark to show how much and at the same time how little had been achieved, for the marginalized within the margins of the lgbtqtsti people.
with corporate pride events choking major cities, let’s not forget the trailblazers, the most discriminated among the discriminated, the STARS that they are, twinkling in the distance with their blessings. on the 50th anniversary of stonewall and looking ahead for lgbtqtsti rights, we need their visionary lights to guide as in the never ending quest for social and economic justice.
ps alp’s statement:
grounding today with reflections from the past
a really depressing topic, given people don’t see juan guaido’s ridiculous self-proclamation as president is an attempt of usa backed coup d’état. understandably, one might say, because mainstream media in usa and other nato states work like propaganda machines. however tale-telling finds and associations do appear, if one leaves no stone unturned. take this strange (or you might think outrageous) comparison to the 74th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz camp and his thank you to the israeli pm. if the war crimes committed to the palestinians serve well as an indicator, perhaps you will see through msm’s thick smog of fake news.
是褒是貶，點解一般以為清雅嘅國畫都可以呈現面目猙獰之效？
pourquoi cet art national qui démontre normalement la beauté de la vie ou le bonheur montre un visage semblablement méchant? peut être c’est un cœur dur et froid qui fait une apparition non-déguisée.
古語云：「相由心生」，那麼這是心影響相，還是相出賣了她的心？
partie 3 sur 3 des contes de mars 2018 texte original chinois par ‘oncle hung jai’

ça donne l’air de grande amitié
ce petit terroir de voisin
en le passant, il me demande
ça va aujourd’hui?
peut-être un peu mieux
je débarrasse plus ma mère comme avant
m’arrête et la réponds prudemment
avec vieillissement on se sent fatigué
le scrutin supplémentaire d’aujourd’hui est franchement
une mauvaise nouvelle sans la dire
visant un tombe couvert de sol noir
il semble que un autre voisin
essaye de planter des gingembres
c’est vraiment une question de choix
quelqu’un a déjà coché ce p’tit terroir
bricoler sur place changeant du terroir à la maison
devient une affaire de millionnaire
je vois que leurs p’tits neveux
ne chassent plus parmi les terroirs et les eaux
je sais qu’il ne faut pas les forcer
mais je veux encore qu’ils sachent
ce vocabulaire qui le rend debout et inspiré
quel beau paysage
… … …
好像是老朋友了
鄰居這小塊耕地
走過它會問我
今天怎樣
好了一點罷
我再不像以前敷衍阿媽
停下腳步認真答
老之將至 人就是累
今天補選結果本來就是
壞消息不說了
看見一個土敦敷了黑土
聽說另一個鄰居
嘗試種點薑
這真是一個選擇的問題
已經有人打這小塊耕地的主意
搞個農地轉屋地就是
過千萬的生意
我看見他們的小子姪
再不在田埂流水奔逐
我知不能勉強
但仍想他們認識
這樣叫人昂首呼吸的詞語
風光明媚
