My nephew LOVES nature. He enjoys plants & helping out in the gardens.

Raven (Heng) smooshed his face, catching the ball toss from his Dad(my middle brother).

In many #AsianFamilies - the #GuiltTrips are used & abused to try to shame people like me & my immediate family from speaking out. They prefer to keep being abusive without anyone knowing that they are inhumane bigots. Too fucking bad that I won't tow their lies/bullshittery & won't be quiet about their hypocrisy & bigotry towards marginalized people. They forgot how they were part the fucking marginalized population too.
One of the several reasons that me & my immediate family are estranged from almost everyone, except for a few, from my patriarch extended family is because they'd become racist, bigoted, capitalistic jerkfaces.
The extended patriarch side of my family that we chose to be estranged from have hatred & hold shitass stereotypical views towards black, Indigenous & Latinos. They also are ignorant & cruel towards LGBTQ2S folks. That ain't OK with me, nor my immediate family. We don't share their asshat beliefs & before we cut off contact with them - I reamed them the fuck out.
I reminded them of their past war survivors history, their ancestral histories & how they're thinking & behaving like inhumane racist fuckers - when we arrived in Canada & how we all suffered racism assaults from white folks here for years. I told them that just because you're a yellow person who pretends to be white, you're still fucking yellow at end of day & you are abusing your own family & disrespecting all of our ancestors too. I told them that they raised selfish, greedy for money, ignorant kids - who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves & those kids are going to fucking abandon them, when they get old, frail & need help to live. I told them - unlike your fucking self & your fucking selfish kids - I'd help them out, in their times of need - despite them not ever being there for me or my family, during our times of need. I told them - it's because my parents raised me well & my parents never sold their souls out for money, unlike them.
That is how I dealt with people in my own family who became inhumane towards others. No strangers get a free pass with me. You'd be a fucking fool to even try.

Nothing has made me realize how badly modern living has killed my long-term memory than trying to cook with mom and remember all the steps (none of which are written down or measured btw, not even the masala dabba is labeled).
