Spent a morning learning about the refugee and immigrant experience in Hong Kong with the Centre for Refugees. If you ever visit Chunking Mansions I hope you make a stop at the Centre to learn about this important community. www.cfr.org.hk/about

What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.

Escaped the mid-autumn crowds with a hike on Lamma and then went straight into the crowd to check out the lantern festival (chaos). Lovely Saturday in #HongKong

I met a guy last night who vibe codes Roblox games for a living. A game a day! I feel like I don’t really get it and we live on different planets. Is this just AI slop? Would I be a millionaire if I did this?

Today’s not my day. Went in for SMILE procedure and then was told they can’t do it because I have irregular shaped cornea. Then I went to eat my sorrows with a burrito but they brought me out a bowl instead 😩

If you read the instructions carefully, the first step to making any microwavable lunch is to throw away the box & then dig it out of the trash again.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal
