BTW, in addition to Chinese New Year vs Lunar New Year (vs Lunisolar New Year), remember that there are many Chinese languages and the "Gong Xi Fa Cai" greeting is in only one of them -- and it's not one all ethnic Chinese speak.

Online hate has gone mainstream in the United States and beyond, posing a threat to both women and democracy, writes @RobinsonL100. Moving forward, government leaders must step in to combat online attacks on women elected officials. https://t.co/lRVRYxcwT1

In this episode of Barbarians at the Gate, Tristan Brown discusses his award-winning book on how feng shui in the Qing era had less to do with furniture placement and was more about power, belonging, and control of spaces in a rapidly evolving society. https://t.co/i94MmR8u9f

Long Hair’s letter to his partner Chan Bo Ying in the wake of the trial, posted by Avery Ng on IG—my quick translation. Both are Marxists organizing since the 1970s. Chan is one of the few oppositional figures left still organizing protests despite constant police harassment.
Another with one of the longest jail terms is the city’s most visible leftist, ‘Long Hair’—organized since the 1970s in Hong Kong against the British colonial regime, multiple US imperialist wars from Iraq to Gaza, the IMF and the World Bank.
