Feel for the people of Taiwan, including people I know and work closely with, who are very worried about this exact thing.

Assume I’m not getting paid for a TON of work, plus work people who work for me did, as we have a large client in Taiwan who work directly for the Taiwanese govt.

Reach out to the people I know there to see if they need / want help getting out / getting friends or family out / anything else they need.

Tell people in my life and on the internet “Fuck bullies, fuck all these aggressive state level actors beating up on ethnic groups, smaller countries and small regions that just want peace, autonomy and self determination. And fuck us for letting them. Like seriously, fuck all you all.”

Go back to work.
