Mom's appointment went well. We have a follow-up in 3 months. More kidneys blood work needed; we left with another lab requisition.

I was not born to kneel before any government.
I was not born to appease any politician.
I was not born to uphold the sickass status quo.
I was born to challenge all of the above.
I come from a long line of resistance warriors & will fight for justice for the oppressed humans & non-human living beings, as long as I'm alive to do so.
This is a lifetime personal commitment.
I take it very seriously.
#BehindTheScenes shots from 6 different #indie #filming productions that I've worked on in the past. I usually managed productions & wore multiple crew hats during my past work in film.
2010. When I played a scarface #Asian mafia boss lady on a horror film short production. Filmed at the old Hung Fat #kungfu club in Chinatown. Gentrification got their longtime, oldest kungfu association in BC, evicted a few years ago.
Gloria Tsoi, pictured with me, owns & runs the kung-fu club - passed down from ancestors. We've been friends since the 90s.

"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.
There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."

In recent years, the Party and the State in #Vietnam has focused on the development of a #CircularEconomy. The Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress identified the development of a circular economy as one of the key orientations for the country’s development toward 2045.
Developing a circular economy has been recognised as one of the priority directions to achieve overarching goals such as waste management, efficient resources utilisation, environmental protection, disaster prevention, & climate change adaptation in the country’s next development phase.
