"We processed our huge clams harvest from our weekend village clam digging. We have extra clam meat for you. Froze them & I can drop off some freezer bags filled with them. I'll be in your area tonight, so let me know when you'll be around!"

My Indigenous friends are very kind, generous & thoughtful 💗 They bring my family seafood, year round.

In the latest cause for concern, police in #Hanoi have arrested a #reformist labor ministry official, Nguyen Van Binh, 51, and charged him with disclosure of state secrets. Mr. Binh had advocated #LaborReform as director general of the legal department at the ministry, especially ratification of International Labor Organization Convention 87, which would guarantee #Vietnamese #workers the right to form independent trade #unions.

#Vietnamese officials have called on #Apple supplier #Foxconn to reduce power use by 30% at its assembly plants in the north of the country where there were #electricity #outages last year, two people familiar with the matter said.
The request for #EnergySaving measures, which two other industry sources said was sent to multiple manufacturers, is precautionary & aimed at averting a repeat of last summer when #PowerShortage led to over a billion dollars in lost output.

"The Hollywood Reporter spoke with eight of The Sympathizer’s Vietnamese cast members in a group conversation below that revealed that, although they all share the same ethnicity, they are diverse in age, nationality and experience, together forming a living account of the modern Vietnamese diaspora — what it has been through, and what it is like now."

"Last Saturday, I was at a community gathering of around 30 Vietnamese immigrants, all in their 50s and 60s, in Oakland, California, when I asked if anyone knew anything about AI or artificial intelligence.

None of them had ever heard of it...And in this room full of elders from my community, the Vietnamese community, no one knew about it, which meant no one knew to look for it."

I had a great Sunday with my friend, Sarah! She came over earlier. We did mini home spa treatments. I did full skincare spoils for her because she doesn't treat herself to spa facial treatments & deserves some pampering. Afterwards, we went to the outdoors expo, at Juan de Fuca Rec.

Just got back home & am relaxing as my #Vietnamese #BòKho (beef stew) finishes simmering. I put it on slow cook before going to expo.

"Nguyen, who is an executive producer, and the creative team hope the series will force viewers to center the Vietnamese perspective of the conflict while rethinking fundamental American myths, including about how the country still wields its geopolitical power in a fractured world today. 'Everything that the United States was doing in 1975 are things that are still happening now,' Nguyen says."

#RiceVermicelli with chives & fried eggs; nuoc cham sauce poured over it. Our breakfast today. We'll likely have it for lunch too, with some Chinese greens clear soup.

Day off. Plans are to get caught up on seeds sowing, get food transplants into beds/bigger pots (2 pea types & loganberries), aerate composts, sift soil & prep pots.

Going for a nature walk nearby, after tasks are done. Lovely sunny morning; it'll be a beautiful day 🌞😎

Picked up 2 #BanhMi subs for after paddling eats. It's the original banh mi - only place I get it, in #VictoriaBC is -> https://alysapho.ca

I don't like how other places here make them. My fave place to buy is on Main St. in Vancouver Chinatown. I don't remember name of the place, know it by sight. My family bought from there since 80s & it's run by Teochew ppl from Cholon, Saigon, Vietnam. I can speak Teochew there; very few ppl speak my language in BC.

Those efforts have helped create an #UnbreakableBond between the two nations.

Please enjoy this #music playlist - filled with #Vietnamese #RockNRoll songs from 1968-1974. There was always a huge music scene in #Saigon & wartime didn't stop the musicians. More songs were inspired from the horrors of war. Bands kept performing wherever they could. My big Auntie told me about music jams in tunnels by resistance musicians too.

Music kept people going, when bombs kept falling. Music helped people survive war horrors.
