I put #ExLax into a shitty former BC Liberals politician's mocha latte in 1996. She had to leave work because it set off hours of diarrhea issues. I was working PT at a popular downtown cafe where many politicians went.
No one ever figured out what happened. This is one example of how to do #antifascist sabotage at work. I did the same thing over 15 times & never got caught a single time.
So many white folks gave me shit about calling Gordon Campbell & Christy Clark - Nazis - in the 90s. So many tried to fucking apologize to me, years after that. POC activists like me are sick & fucking tired of white folks not believing us - when we tried warning y'all for YEARS!
People who still think the USA invaded Vietnam to help citizens get democracy are fools. It was never about helping people suffering. It was always about more geopolitical controls in South East Asia. Vietnam was seen as an easier to conquer via invasion violence than other ASEAN nations. We also had many seaports access.
Korea, Japan & Vietnam were all places where USA imposed themselves, violently. Many military personnel left behind many mixed race babies & many other trails of traumatic devastations. The living, never sold sold our souls out, war survivors, never forgot what the USA did to my birth nation, Vietnam.
#AllOut: Help restore #Blued and #Finka so #LGBTQ+ people in #China can stay connected and supported.
Imagine waking up to find that one of the only places where you can connect safely with others like you has vanished. That is what millions of #gay people in China experienced when Apple removed Blued and Finka from its app store after an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China..
..These apps are not just dating tools. They are lifelines for community, friendship, and support in a country where acceptance is limited and public visibility is shrinking.
I'm finally done with on location work for today!
Just got home a few minutes ago. Warming up some chicken vegetable soup. Working on some files tonight 🙂
Me, wearing a camouflage hat, sequined mask over N95 mask & a Palestine scarf, holding a large glass of jar fig jam in my left hand & a jar of apple juice, above my head with right hand. I am standing in a commercial kitchen with jars of apple juice on a stainless steel work surface in the foreground, boxes of jar lids labeled "BERNARDIN" behind them, and a clock on the wall. The hat says "AnarchoSocialist" in yellow.

After I got back down from climbing up a tree in the park forest ☺️
I like climbing trees; a hobby since childhood.
I just climb differently because of my 2 long leg braces. I find my own way up✌️
Me, with rainbow-colored hair leans against a thick tree trunk, smiling at the camera. Wearing a purple zip-up hoodie, a silver sequined top, a black tiered skirt, and purple boots. A walking stick hangs from a cut branch. The scene is in a forest with green foliage visible.

The hardest part about some of these blog posts is not getting lost in linguistic history. I'm a linguist at heart and need to remind myself the important thing is the social history of women on the silk road, not going off on tangents about the Persian origins of Chinese surnames.... histodons grouphistodon group#history#asianmastodon
I have a lot more followers now and see that you all like open access. Yes, its by Brill and they block a lot of content, but I feel the need to introduce you all to my favorite open access content available in both Arabic and English.
The source is Ibn Abī Uṣaybiʿah's Literary History of Medicine, a ground breaking work which records anecdotes of famous physicians in Arabic from Ancient Greece to the 13th century:
If you haven't seen the #JohnPilger#documentaries about #Cambodia & how the #USgovernment is why #PolPot#KhmerRouge gained & retained power - please watch them.
It's important #geopolitical#history.
It was one of the worst #genocide atrocities in modern human history. Cambodians were #dehumanized like Vietnamese were. Both sovereign nations suffered many years of embargoes by US & their Western allies, along with with Cold War pals back then - China. US was still angry & bitter about losing their imperialist invasion in Vietnam & they opted to punish Cambodia, Vietnam & Laos - they are really sore losers.
As you watch these #documentary films - please try to pay attention to how US officials haven't really changed their scripts in decades. They use similar lies/political deflective/avoidance verbal dances to this day. In 2024, they're talking about Arabs like they used to talk about Cambodians, Vietnamese & Laotians - like none of us are human beings. It's just collateral damage when a million or more POC folks, far from Western worlds, are mass murdered for political power games.
Whoa. If people are disadvantaged in a field by a bigoted perception of their merit, then they should be prohibited from studying in that field.
"The School of Management and Business (HSB) at the Vietnam National University in Hanoi believes the connection between height and success is so significant that people who are supposedly "too short" should no longer be allowed to study." https://www.dw.com/en/vietnam-outrage-at-student-height-requirement/a-69538765
I call out the #farce of self declared true #democratic states in my speech & how our #governments tell us there ain't enough funds to help citizens but they can find billions to fund #EthnicCleansing of Palestinians.
