absolutely hate how the government is insisting on phasing out bamboo scaffolding and replacing it with steel scaffolding... like why??? bamboo scaffolding is deeply woven into hong kong culture and instantly reminds of home because it's just so unique and so distinctively hongkonger... i fucking hate the lack of efforts of cultural preservation because what else do we have left?
in recent years i could already feel a slow, sinking feeling that the local flavour of hong kong is slowly slipping away... i just don't want the city i was born and raised in to be more and more unrecognisable as time goes on.... even from the tiniest details of everyday life
there are so many iconic landscapes, features and walks of life that i value so much in the city that i just don't want to be seen thrown in the wayside and i know many hongkongers feel this way too

The car simps in political leadership and the enemies of a vibrant, sociable spaces have decided to do away with outdoor dining structures in favor of street parking. There are plenty of reasons to love these ad hoc hovels, designed and built to support once-struggling restaurants and cafes, ranging from the ramshackle to the wonderfully inventive. These photos are an endearing testament to our fellow humans' creative resilience. I'm sad for NYC and disappointed in our leaders for regressing to the status quo instead of embracing communal spaces.

does anyone else ever think about how modern architecture and interior design is a great visual indicator of a net loss of individuality and creativity in society as a whole, with startlingly sterile environments becoming indicators of wealth and status, rather than the creative freedom to make oneβs own unique environment a reality. and do you ever think about how it all ties back to how increasingly digital everything is in our world now?
^ shared this elsewhere previously but I feel those on this app will have some interesting ideas and insights on the topicβ¦

(specifically behavioural experiment β really putting my psych degree into good use huh?)
i don't know man but this really helps me get unstuck from an all-or-nothing mindset and the insane analysis paralysis from even doing the most menial of tasks
look just set it from a random number of days and put a random thing to focus on and see what happens
i don't even have to stick to it β this isn't even a "serious/legitimate" experiment at all β i give myself the grace to fail at this "experiment" completely and i try to take as much emotional weight from it as possible
the whole of point me doing this in the first place is ripping off the band-aid: any action is good action at this point, i don't want to ruminate anymore and i want to build momentum (even if it seems embarrassingly insignificant)
if it works out: good!! if it doesn't work out: also good!! the whole point of this is trial and error and honestly just bridging the gap between idea and execution and getting rid of friction between tasks as much as possible...
we can always change the hypothesis and the experiment... back to the drawing board we go!!!
