yes i made a whole ass calendar with my fan cast - will smith as lead (but that was twenty years ago and so i gotta start anew with some other actor in his 20s) and a whole cast of Vietnamese actresses and actors with me (of course) as the lead 🤣🤣 (back when i used to act)

i can’t title for the life of me … but the most frustrating is finding the mental space & time - time alone is not sufficient - it’s having the peace or lack of daily chaos to flow…

Again, I'd implore my colleagues in the media to stop using euphemisms around "diversity" and "anti -DEI".

And start saying that this these efforts are racial and gender purgings. That these efforts are segregationist.

Banning & silencing artistic & creative expression leads to the demise of our collective, individual, and social evolution. You can’t erase truth, authenticity, & the dialogue that is critical for self & social commentary & reflection by shutting it down.

Highlight of one of my trips was meeting you and @spencimus.bsky.social while seeing how far I can leap to jump the border and end up in Canada 😆 (if it was Nov of 2024 - I may have actually swam over there)

From a young age, I was steeped in a shroud of silence which I then internalized for decades.

I have been afraid of making the simplest of noises. This year, 2025, I'm challenging myself to step out of this self-imposed phobia of self, and not only show my face, but to also speak.
