#Researchers at the #HongKong Chronicles Institute spotlighted President #HoChiMinh’s stay in Hong Kong from 1930 - 1933 on the occasion of his 134th birthday (May 19, 1890-2024).
Talking to the Vietnam News Agency, Dr. Sun Wenbin, Director of the institute, said President Ho Chi Minh, known as #TongVanSo at that time, chose the appropriate time & venue for the conference to establish the #CommunistParty of #Vietnam (February 3, 1930).
Ottawa also cited the lack of legal marriage in Japan for same-sex couples as a reason to certify the couple as refugees, noting the couple was denied the benefits given under the Japanese system to those in opposite-sex marriages.
My only #nephew, Raven, in his first car 💗
Pushed by my youngest #brother, Jerry (Teochew given name Que Huy). He's my middle brother, Steven's (Teochew given name Que Long), firstborn.
Hey Graphics Folks, ever wonder who the “Phong” was that invented Phong shading?
Turns out his last name wasn’t Phong, that online picture of him isn't even him, and his death is connected to the U.S. military’s use of chemical weapons during the Vietnam War.
There's some diaspora #Asians on Vancouver Island (and several other places in Global North) who have severe #InternalizedRacism, to the point that they're not just #indoctrinated into #colonialism & capitalism but they're so self unaware of internalized racism that they don't even know when racist white folks #tokenize them to defend/justify racism & use them to push WS beliefs on their own peoples.
I lose my fu*king shit around Asians like this. They harm us Asians who fight for human rights.
Here's the thing: It's my #POC community & as I'm a part of that, some of my #responsibilities is to address it within that community. It's not #WhiteFolks' jobs to do that - calling out/calling in/educating #diaspora Asian folks suffering from #InternalizedRacism & hurting fellow #Asians.
Just like it's not POC's jobs to deal with white #racists - it's the responsibilities of white folks to deal with problematic bigots in their own communities.
5 yrs ago, Vicky Ni got a call from her doctor. She'd gone in for an X-ray for a pinched nerve. The next thing she knew, she was sitting in an #oncologist's office.
The 48 yr old mother of 2 was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, 2nd most common #cancer in both men &women in #UnitedStates.
Made some #chicken#curry for our family #dinner tonight. Made it medium spicy as my middle brother doesn't like super spicy. We're having it with jasmine rice.
When my #bananas get too ripe - I fry them up in coconut oil & eat with vanilla ice cream. I make fried bananas in a few different ways. This is the easiest/fastest version.
Asher also got his first few licks of ice cream today - he doesn't get much human foods at all(not good for his cat belly).
It is against our beliefs to charge any monies for doing any spiritual healing works. If you meet folks who try to charge you monies for spiritual healing works - they're grifting charlatans. My peoples believe we go to demonic dungeons, if we ever charge monies to help people suffer less. We will accept foods. If we have to travel far to deliver our spiritual ceremonies services, we'd like to not be out of pocket for providing free spiritual healing services. We will sleep on your floor.
Whether you lay down one single grain of rice or 100 bricks of gold - you should not be given different treatment but equal humane treatment. Anyone who violates basic code of humanity, needs to work on themselves more & stop trying to buy a free ticket into humanity.
Translation:
Hey, duck babes. Did you come to look for something to eat? Yes. You came to look for something to eat. But I can't give you anything to eat because of bird flu.
When you're cat obsessed - the cat is always in focus, because the #cat is the main focus. We, the guardians of magnificent cats, prefer being in background.
Using less water & using a #drone to fertilize are new techniques that Van is trying & #Vietnam hopes will help solve a #paradox at the heart of #GrowingRice : The finicky crop isn’t just vulnerable to #ClimateChange but also contributes uniquely to it.
Vietnam is the world's 3rd largest #rice exporter, & the staple importance to #Vietnamese culture is palpable in the #Mekong Delta.
Locations around the globe are experiencing #ClimateDisasters on a regular basis.
Some of the most #marginalized populations experience disasters so often it has come to be normalized.
A #NewStudy from #UniversityOfKansas found residents of a #Seoul#SouthKorea, neighborhood have grown so accustomed to living through extreme #climate events they've developed a “disaster subculture” that challenges views of reality & how social agencies can help.
When bus driver Hue Sze Wei found out that service 173 that he operates will have a #bus featuring #artwork by #students with #IntellectualDisabilities, the 41-year-old was happy to hop on board with the initiative.
He is no stranger to the invasive stares & rude remarks that members of public sometimes have for those with intellectual #disabilities, as he has a son who attended a kindergarten for autistic children.
This is another one of our smaller #Buddha statues. We painted it gold. We have multiple Buddha statues of various sizes, all over our front & back gardens. We practice Taoism but also adopted a lot of Buddhist practices - they tend to interconnect with many crossovers.
Wishing you all more peace & quiet, beautiful & soul-filled moments in life 💗❤️💗

Views from the dragonboat. From today's practice. I'm with new #ParaDragonboating pilot program, run by #FairwayGorgePaddlingClub on Jutland. Our team name: Storm the Gorge.
My Mom is super supportive of all my parasports endeavors. She used to go to all my para-equestrian competitions. Mom couldn't go to my equestrian training sessions; her past work conflicted. She came to every sledge hockey practice.
Every single parasport I've tried out - has been supported by my parents. Dad would've loved seeing me getting into dragonboating. I tell him about it, every weekend & believe he hears me.
