My #breakfast cod #congee with green onions & fried wonton wraps - I added some minced ginger too.
"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)."

I tested out a new cane (it's really pretty - purple with colourful flowers) & used my umbrella hat for our rainy day hike today.
We ran into 3 younger hikers with a super rad Aussie shepard dog along the trails & 2 of them complimented me on my blue hair. I responded with - I love colourful things! I'm wearing a mini circus tent on my head, as you can see! Then we all laughed
Fuck you.
You hate Asian women unless they're your "geisha".

I found this cool, lean-to survival shelter, while out on a day hike around some #Wsanec forests. It was an unexpected find. Not really suited for a really big person - I'm under 5' & had to stoop a bit to walk into it.
I ate 2 lbs of manilla #clams by myself over last weekend. My dipping sauces: nuoc cham & finely minced garlic with butter.
Thrifty Foods on Admirals Rd. sells farmed manilla clams from the Fanny Bay Seafood company up island.
Accompanied my Mom to doctor's appointment this morning. This was mainly for getting another prescription for her recurring gout issue. She got a physical checkup too. Her doctor & his MOA were masked up. None of the other medical clinic staff & no other patients were masked.
Location of masking report: Burnside Medical Clinic - office in lower part of building - there's a different office with same name on main level.
En route to pharmacy to pickup prescription refills. A #SelfPortrait in the car.
Gave my Mom this #Landback - Get Off Their Lawn hoodie. She looks great in it.
She's only a few months in office representing the Eastside in CD14,and already under attack.

That happens, when you're conceived in a bomb bunker shelter underground & your Mom was terrified during entire eviction of you from her womb, because gunfire was active outside hospital while she was evicting me from her vagina.
My #tshirt of choice today. I'm an unofficial official lieutenant on the worldwide itty bitty titties committee
