Whenever I take a long car ride I end up exhausted afterwards, and I’m always like “why am I so tired? I was just sitting around doing nothing all day.”
But the answer, it turns out, is I was doing something. Riding in a car jars your body in many directions and requires constant microadjustments of your muscles just to stay in place and hold your normal posture. Because you’re inside the car, inside the situation, it’s easy not to notice all the extra work you’re doing just to maintain the status quo.
There’s all sorts of type of work that we think of as “free” that require spending energy: concentrating, making decisions, managing anxiety, maintaining hypervigilance in an unfriendly environment, dealing with stereotype threat, processing a lot of sensory input, repairing skin cells damaged sun exposure, trying to stay warm in a cold room.
The next time you think you’re tired from “nothing”, consider instead that you’re probably in situation where you’re doing a lot of unnoticed extra work just to stay in place.
How the moonlight shines on a spotless white bed of unrealized dreams, and how we’re are walking into the upcoming year with all the determination to make them happen. . . . . . #njgmphotography🤗❤️ #poetry #writing #photography #naturephotography #nature ##winter #snow #moon #我的日记 #漂亮 #诗 #poesia #photografia #invierno (at University of Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6IvLQVhug5/?igshid=1o21n0uchptei
I am sorry I didn't update for a period of time. I am still fine but my city Hong Kong is being worse day by day.
The time now is that HK police hold the greatest power. There are lots of reasonable doubts that they may have raped and killed some of the HK protesters. I would try to explain in the posts later.
The HK police is very rude to all protesters. When the protester is already no power to revolt/ arrested, they still use a lot of violent (even sexual harassment/indecent)
But, not only protesters definitely. They are extremely impolite to all kinds of people including the people who was just passing the road/living there, reporters, Legislative Council member(Pro-democracy camp), etc.
In the photos, you may see that HK police is use their guns pointing everywhere, including the housing estate, the upper floor in a shopping mall, and a minibus.
In fact, there are also a lot of photos showed that quite some of the HK police is laughing when they are holding a gun. It's totally insane and unacceptable at all. There was a student died (seems) because of the HK police, and a policeman even said that he is going to "celebrate for his dead by opening a bottle of champagne".
the HK police is shooting the pepper spray to the candidates for district councillor whom were doing legal political campaign, and even arrest them.
The police rushed into a housing estate and forced the people who lived there to do this this for more than half a hour.
There are still a lot of things can be talked about, I hope to start new posts very soon to present more about our revolution in Hong Kong.
Please stand with Hong Kong! Fight for Freedom!
(I can preview that there will be a lot of China "5 mo" attacking this post. So please help me to spread this!)
[note: for those who use the mm-dd-yyyy US date format, in the photo above “1/10/2019″ means Oct 1, 2019. Also, “Carrie” refers to Carrie Lam, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong]
