#French energy firm @Total has no plans to pull out of #Myanmar despite public calls to do so. Its CEO was quoted as saying firm's duty-bound to stay & that it cannot just cut off electricity supply to millions & disrupt businesses #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Here’s a thread about tomorrow which is a very important day in the Burmese calendar and in Burmese history. March 27th is known as Armed Forces Day (တပ်မတော်နေ့ ) i.e.Tatmadaw Day in Myanmar. Tatmadaw Day? F*ck that. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

It’s the 33rd Anniversary of the #8888Uprising So here’s some history for you. This is me with the Mandalayan side of my family in 1987. We’re at Upali Sima, on the way to Bagan in Burma (aka Myanmar). I’m the girl wearing the multicoloured dress. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Hi @Primark how’s that inquiry going? I hope you haven’t restarted your orders with GY Sen Myanmar that literally locked its workers inside the factory to stop them protesting. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #SaveMyanmar

Any new social media platform going on about ‘debate’, ‘civility’, ‘town squares’ and ‘giving the voice back to the sidelined majority’ is ringing major alarm bells for me as a woman of colour, not gonna lie.

In Pyinmana yesterday, protesters painted 'F**k the Coup' on a street with white paint. Bizarrely, the authorities painted over the white letters with black paint. So today, the protesters painted a nice yellow border around the edges 😁 h/t @lenaye #WhatIsHappeningInMyanmar
