A few days ago, the highest #5G antenna in the world was installed at 6500 meters in Mt Everest by China Mobile and @Huawei - equipments carried up by yaks! I guess TikTok videos from the Everest summit will be a thing post Pandemic.

I was thinking a lot abt the Zero-Sum mentality this morning. Then this... Everyone and everything coexist with each other’s differences and unique beauty, peacefully. A rare moment of complete harmony, and profoundly thought provoking. Thank you @RexChapman 🤍

Didn’t know this - but all 3 Chinese astronauts are from farmer families in rural China. “Parents who were busy tending to the fields in the morning, surrounded by fellow villagers, watch their son run to the distant stars.” This is so awesome 👏 THREAD:

I found out something on Weibo today that I feel obligated to share with you all. The three Chinese astronauts that just arrived at the Tianhe Space station, all of them are sons of ordinary farmers from small rural villages. 1/9

Spring arrived #Wuhan University. Millions of people in this city didn’t choose or want a virus associated w them & take away their loved ones, but they chose to fight w a great deal of bravery & sacrifice. I see beauty in this city & its people. Don’t be assholes.

@DanielOlimac If people prefers to keep living in their bubble of whatever narratives they’ve been fed abt the world, it’s their loss. Perhaps it makes them feel good. I’m done proving to anyone or argue w people don’t have the basic facts. Just keep living well, doing well. Life is short.
