A lot of ignorant as fuck white US losers emerged online recently to try & tell false narratives about the US invasion on Vietnam. Problem with that is people like me, the survivors, are still alive. We ain't having that whitewashed BS. I won't let ignorant bigots run false narratives about my family's lived war/foreign invaders terrorism experiences. I will run their 'Murica BS trains off the rails, with my family's lived truths.
Chad was the wankerbutternoodle Mstdn.ca owner who had called the cops on me for some past political posts. It was using cop violence on POC. The cops showed up & left fast, because it was all BS. It traumatized my Mom & enraged me. The cowardly liar then denied it when I posted about it all. A bunch of white folks supported him & didn't believe me. I knew #karma would catch up with that liar, sooner or later. Now, it has.
Cops will be coming after him, for a real crime.
I told you all that Chad was a dirty, lying weasel. Maybe, believe me instead of the white guy, next time 🤡

Update on my longterm backyard soil remediation project & trying to replace lawn with alternative groundcover/edible & medicinal plants/wildflowers. This is part of the patch that I did cardboard/seaweed/leaf mulching on last year. It now has mixed #clovers & #DeadNettles & #chickweed. These will all attract more pollinators, when they flower too 🐝🦋

Have a peaceful Sunday.
I'm heading out to get some weeding done before going to work a few hours at Welland Community Orchard.
Keeping my bed warm - Asher. Cozy, sleepy cat. Paws taking pause.

It is super cool to be kind.
Kindness is a great social infection to share with folks you encounter in public wilds & within your personal social circles.

When you were young & in elementary school, do you remember what subjects that you struggled with the most & why?
I'm just curious about this. Also, please indicate if you're ND or NT - when responding. Thank you.
I'll stop saying #DeathToUSA / #DeathToAmerica - when your #TerroristUSA government stops terrorizing the entire world & its own citizens.
I am more just & hella more honest than your corrupted #USgovernment.

Puppets get played.
Tokens get spent.
Never be foolish enough to agree to sell your soul to capitalist, colonial/imperial devils.
If you do, be ready to be brutally discarded or even killed, after they no longer need you.
Part of my longtime personal healing work was to forgive myself for spending too much time, trying to explain myself, to folks who were committed to not wanting to understand who I am. I have a hard time forgiving myself for allowing others to treat me as lesser than & not embracing my own self worth enough. It's something I had to work on for a long time & I still make errors with this when super low on spoons.
Being devalued by people you care about, never feels good. Walking away from people you care about, who devalue you, doesn't feel great either but you can reclaim your self worth more, afterwards.

#USInvaders & allies recorded the war using war photographers, North Vietnam & Viet Cong did it through #art.
In #TetOffensive 3 phases in 1968, North Vietnam army & Viet Cong attacked military & civilian sites across South Vietnam.
#USTerrorists retaliated with #MyLaiMassacre on 16 March 1968 - 504 civilians, mainly women & children, were gang-raped & mutilated. Those who helped the Vietnamese were seen as traitors. Only one of the US terrorists - William Calley, was tried. He was only sentenced to house arrest for 3.5 years for the atrocious war crimes. None of the other US terrorists were ever punished for participating in same atrocities on our peoples.

We have quite a few Persian immigrants & former refugees of Iran who live in Victoria, BC. One of my good friends, fellow photog, is a Persian immigrant.
There's a lot more to #Iran than just ongoing political strifes, desert lands & religious power conflicts. It's a mostly misunderstood & relatively unknown place to most people from Western worlds. #Persians have a very deep, culturally rich & long history there. Their peoples are highly resilient, creative masters, well educated & quite inventive. Iran is the birthplace of #algebra. It's culturally rich with many beautifully decorated architectural structures all over the country.
Iran also has one of the last broadleaf #AncientForests in the world. It has multiple contrasts in climate - which is why you can experience extreme heat to cold, snow covered mountains, in a day of travel. It has some of the most stunning & interesting landscapes on Earth. It's the 17th largest, sovereign nation in the world. Iran has survived multiple foreign invasion attacks in their past & are very experienced with fighting to protect their homelands.
[ From majestic mountains and lush valleys to dramatic deserts and ancient cities, this travel #documentary explores the most beautiful places in Iran. Journey through breathtaking landscapes, historic Persian sites, and vibrant local culture. Discover #UNESCO #WorldHeritage sites, colorful mosques, remote villages, and timeless traditions that define Iran’s rich #heritage. A cinematic look at one of the world’s most fascinating and underrated travel destinations. ]

I'm the kind of POC woman who will tell you, when you've irked me & why. Unlike cowardly white folks who keep lying when they don't need to fucking lie no more.
#FuckCarney & fuck any #Canadian who supports the illegal war invasion on sovereign #Iran 🤬 Neither US or Israel are our allies - they're blackmailing, corrupt, terrorists!
[ Canada’s defence chief Gen. Jennie Carignan says allies are in talks about possibly helping Persian Gulf states defend themselves against bombing from Iran.
Carignan says a meeting is set for Friday to discuss such a proposal among allied militaries and the Canadian Armed Forces would present a recommendation to the government.
She did not specify what type of support this might involve but said Canada is not taking part in the U.S. bombing of Iran and confirmed the discussions are not about participating in Operation Epic Fury.
Her comments come as the Conservatives call for a parliamentary debate before any sort of Canadian military deployment in the ongoing war.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday that Canada can’t “categorically” rule out military participation in the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
He added that Canada’s potential future involvement is a “fundamental hypothetical” and that Ottawa will stand by its allies. ]

Making more tea.
Pondering on what to cook for lunch for me & Mom.
I have to take Mom to LifeLabs this afternoon for urine test & drop off stool sample. For the gastroenterologist that we are seeing at Saanich Peninsula Hospital in early April.
My brother's back pain issues returned. He was off work, all of last week. He's working today & hopefully will be OK. If not, he'll need more time off work, this week. It's an old work injury that he's never fully recovered from.
I packed him a hearty hot & nourishing lunch.
