Black and white artistic photograph of an Asian woman's face, with head tilted back and eyes closed, and a flower placed over mouth and nose, with flowing dark hair.

How I look at lying cops/politicians/their enablers, when they're trying to feed me their BS 😐

A black and white portrait of me in a car, looking towards the camera. I am wearing a black newsboy cap and a large tiger head earring. My hair is braided, I'm wearing a black vest jacket, with a seatbelt on. I have a serious expression, with defined eye make-up and dark lipstick.

#homemade #Chinese #HotAndSour #soup for my family, this evening.
I add extra bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms & tofu to our family's version 😋

Some of the #musical #percussion #instruments that the #Sampaguita #Filipino dance troupe brought for their #cultural dance & music performances at inaugural ASIA in Victoria Summit.

#Phillipines #AsianMastodon #SouthEastAsian #IndigenousAsians #SilentSunday #drum #gongs #tambourine

A tall, vertical, cylindrical wooden drum with a stretched animal skin top and a small square opening near the base, accompanied by three bronze gongs on a decorative cloth, two bamboo mallets, and a drumstick resting on top, set up for a performance. A tambourine is in the background, on the floor.

Almost my entire lived experiences in super colonial, hella bourgeois, Victoria & Vancouver Island, has helped me to develop hella tough skin to keep on trying to deal with a lot of #mayosapiens & internalized mayosapien behaviours from POC folks too. My skin is committed to #decolonization work in light of & despite of the massive uphill battles outside & within POC communities.

Colonialism, imperialism, capitalism -> all of those demonic forces are strong.
#Humanity can be, should be, hella stronger.

#InternalizedRacism is a threat to the person suffering from it but also to people who encounter that, at large. Grow yourselves strong enough to recognize it & call it out, when you see it happening.

Me, wearing a sequined face mask, floral shirt, and whimsical felted wo hat, holding small dishes with decorative fruit-shaped mungbean sculptures, smiling towards the camera, with a name tag that reads "Qué" pinned on my shirt.
