You cannot actually kill anyone who thinks & lives as an artist. Artists may physically die, as all human beings eventually do. Artists never truly die though; even if they're obscure and/or unknown by general public masses. True artists always sow endless creativity seeds & leave life legacies that are discussed by a diversity of folks, long after their physical deaths.

No true artist ever truly dies, if you really think about it.

The next video is going up, despite how my haters - who I've never even met - feel.
Fuck your feelings, dipshit fuckeronis. You are cooked before you know it.

Give me the chainsaw or there is no deal & I will just take the chainsaw, regardless. I suggest you just hand it over. Now.

I'm not a Communist but many ignorant people have tried to attack me & call me a Communist because I was born in Vietnam & had family in resistance army against US/US proxy government sellouts.

I remember interrupting an ignorant xenophobic jerkface at age 12 - by city hall. He was trying to tell the public that the government needs to stop the Communist invasion of Canada & to stop letting Communist refugees & immigrants in.
I shouted over him: We are already here! Many of our peoples have been here longer than you've been alive, asshole! We aren't even Communist, you loser! We don't want your job! You're not even employed! Shut up! You suck.

I chased him out of Centennial Square, yelling at him, until he jumped into his car. I threw half a sandwich at his car.

No regrets. I'm not built to be quiet around xenophobic jerkwads.

Taking one of my #SinsAgainstCapitalism grassroots ideas & making it a reality.

I'm setting up a free flowers, roadside table with a neighbour soon. I don't have space to put it by our home so asked if we can set it up in front of her place. She's agreed ✌️
We will be putting out a variety fresh cut flowers, harvested from several different neighbours' gardens for folks to take for free, all through Summer into early Autumn. I brought up that it would be a fab grassroots #joybringer neighbourhood initiative that we could easily put into action. People were supportive of the idea, so I'm running with it 💐
#FreeFlowers for anyone who wants some extra floral joy in their lives 😊

#WorldRefugeesDay

We arrived in Canada, as war refugees seeking asylum, in the depths of Winter, 1979. Just most of Dad's side of the family made it to Canada. Mom's villager family was trapped & couldn't get out; they're still in Vietnam.
Both my matriarch & patriarch Grandparents were war refugees from the Indochina wartimes - in both Vietnam & China. Our family members had to flee from more than one war & resettle, multiple times over several generations. We know how to survive & rebuild our lives, over & over again.

I support all fellow past & present refugees struggles for basic human rights, dignity & creating a good life for themselves/their families. I am against wars & greed-filled inhumanity - like most war refugee survivors.

“In a country where possessions counted for everything, we had no belongings except our stories.”

You do not even know how quickly using super glue can relieve many open cut wounds, until you're needing open cut wounds to be treated in middle of wilderness & one of your survival friends offers to glue you up.

Finish this partial sentence....with real life experiences by yourself or as a witness.

"You do not even know..."

You don't even know how magical baby oil is with removing Superglue fast, until you've glued your hand(s) to a big bank's front doors & have to go to the bathroom, 3 hours into the bank blockade.

It works quite well ✌️

Anyone have the exact costs for Trump's Deflection Pool?

I met the 3 year old granddaughter of my Uncles hospital neighbour. She gifted me this cute miniature toy 🙂 I think it's a cup? I'm not sure. I gave her some cute nature/wildlife stickers.

Today's agenda for more #SinsAgainstCapitalism :

- mending 3 pairs of my brother's pants
- cooking up a big batch of spaghetti & making garlic bread to feed some folks in my community
- giving away work & formal wear to graduating students from low income households

@tiotasram @MichaelTBacon Another reason I am totally against putting cops in schools to push more BS copaganda!

I love this DJ show at a Chinese senior center in LA. It starts off with one of my fave Chinese folk songs - a dance remix of a classic track that almost every Chinese GenXer knows 🙂

My Mom brought homemade breakfast for my Uncle in VGH, this morning. I'm going to bring him homemade wor wonton soup for his lunch at noon. He'll recover better, eating traditional foods over hospital foods.
I should be updated on when we can meet & chat with his stroke recovery team by tomorrow.

I'm harvesting some parsley after hospital visit. To make my Uncle some beef & parsley egg drop soup, to have with rice, for his dinner.

My brother is printing out this photo of me with my nephew, Rayven/Heng, when he was about 9 months old. It's one of my fave family photos ❤️

Earlier this month, I had a longtime friend tell me that they're staying in a longterm relationship that they're not content with because they're almost 60 years old & "I don't want to be alone & to even think about starting over again, at my age."

I just listened to her vent. I didn't offer any feedback because she didn't ask for that.
It did make wonder how many other people around our ages aren't content in their LTRs & just staying because they're scared to be single again.

I don't believe there's an age cap on starting anew. That's just how I feel/think.
