Ran late on Friday, and had to rush to a friend’s house for a party at 7. I flagged a cab along the road outside my house, and…

Refugees SG’s pilot project in TJC has been overwhelmingly successful, 277 page views on the first day, 167 the next, and there are already 122+ the last I checked today. That’s probably because the TJC population is just that big, and you have certain limits to how many…
So far the pilot project has been rather successful- so far, Rishik, Rennald and Co. have got about 100+ petition signatures on paper in TJC alone, with many more coming online.
Refugees SG is on STOMP’s Talkback and other forums as well.
First exhibition in TJC:
