早前史丹福大學以疫情下預算緊絀為理由，喺上年12月起唔再同校內唯一一位教授廣東話班超過21年嘅講師張錫莉博士（Sik Lee Dennig ph.D.）續約。其後喺超過3000名師生、校外學者聯署後，校方終於回應大家嘅訴求，並承諾下個學期開辦兩個廣東話課程。

張錫莉博士除咗係校內唯一一位教授廣東話班超過21年嘅講師之外，佢仲係史丹福大學校友。當得知佢不獲續約嘅消息之後，耶魯大學公共衛生助理教授Jamie Tam、中文系博士四年級生Maciej Kurzynski、以及人類學博士一年級生Jocelyn Lee就發起聯署，希望爭取廣東話課程可以長久地延續落去；佢哋表示當初聽到呢個消息之後，感到「痛心」、「震驚」；而以前讀過呢個課程嘅Jamie更指，呢個課程可以話係影響一生，因為呢個課程令佢同祖母、同埋傳統可以重新連結。

最後，聯署獲得超過1540名史丹福大學嘅師生、校友、大概1500名校外人員（包括亞洲研究學者、亞裔機構工作人員等）支持，反映呢個課程對於個人、學術、專業都有好大影響，同時令到校方回應訴求。

幾位聯署發起人指，史丹福大學雖然承諾下個學期開辦兩個廣東話課程，但就冇直接回應長期開辦廣東話課程、開設全職廣東話導師嘅職位，以及以廣東話符合學校語文學習要求嘅訴求，佢哋表示會一直爭取落去，令廣東話課程可以一直保留落去。

Probably little known that there is a “International Mother Language Day” .... but it’s today!
As HKers, we are pound of our language and we must not let it disappear!

TLDR: Every time you think it can't get worse in #HongKong, #XiJinping says you're wrong.

Basically, not only are the directly elected seats in #LegislativeCouncil drastically reduced, #CCP is also going to establish a "review committee" to screen out candidates they do not approve. Not only do pro-democracy politicians stand miniscule chance to win the election, they can't even run in the election.

A bunch of old f*rts in #Beijing who don't speak #Cantonese, who have probably never eaten curry fishballs or egg tarts, are now setting up an "election with Hong Kong characteristics". LMAO. Based on track records, "socialism with Chinese characteristics" is capitalism (somewhat), "democracy with Chinese characteristics" is dictatorship. Well, I won't insult your intelligence by spelling out what "elections with Hong Kong characteristics" created by Xitler is.

July 1st was the day we marched and voiced out our opinion about social issues, political issues and general desire of wanting our Hong Kong to become better.
Not anymore.
When tyranny arrives - we have responsibility to fight back!

Language is the way a nation, an imagined community physically manifests its bond. #CCP wants to break this bond between #HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, #Mongolians through cleansing our language, we must fight back.

Also, there is an interesting Time Out article sharing Cantonese slangs you must know. Give it a read - it tells you a lot about the character of #HongKongers!
