@nathanrlong.bsky.social and I dressed up last night! "Black Sparrow Club" Mahjong night by EastNeverLoses.com
I was today year's old when I learned from a random IG story that my favorite dimsum dish - Woo Gok - has no batter in it! The crispy bits are all taro/yam!
Today I started a Chinese brush painting class and learned about this amazing thing called a Magic Cloth. www.blueheronarts.com/Magic-Cloth-...
Arts and crafts in Avocado Heights! Did you know about this rural equestrian community in the SGV? They are fighting data centers too.
Shimmy might be more perturbed by @nathanrlong.bsky.social 's new ringtone than the distant fireworks.
We tried out a new Mahjong variant tonight from Shanxi province, China. TaiYuan Lisi Mahjong is so interesting! With @nathanrlong.bsky.social
As seen on reddit! When I drew this 10 years ago, I didn't know anything about scoring. It's funny to me when people on the internet analyze every detail, and this is why I try to be accurate! 😂 Print: doggiedrawings.net/collections/mahjong
We bought a zine at Cool Cat Collective's Cat Zine Fest. This one's by Kat Philbin.
Apologies! There was a typo. The Covina City Hall meeting is JUNE 30, not July 30. This coming Tuesday, Covina City Hall, 126 E College St, Covina CA. #NODataCentersNOBESS www.instagram.com/p/DaASkvMO0Kc/
First image by @laloalcaraz.bsky.social 2nd image: a call to action on July 30, 7pm Covina City Hall. There are at least 3 BESS structures planned for the San Gabriel Valley which is majority Latinx and Asian - and we need People Power to stop them.
I started reading @mollycrabapple.bsky.social 's new book tonight and I keep thinking that this book needs to be made into a movie!!! (And I am only a chapter in) #herewhereweliveisourcountry #jewishBund
I'm thinking of Jameson, the pup who was shot by LAPD and my heart goes out to his human family. Why are first responders in the US so untrained??? Posting here some illustrations I was hired to do many years ago - 1. For firefighters in Austria by Vier Pfoten 2. For Hawthorne police by spcaLA
Nobody has heard of Madrid Park- you can't even Google it. It's a small park grown by community members and has become a home to bats, native plants and other wildlife. It is now in danger of being replaced by a data center. Gofundme.com/help-cancel-a-local-data-center
🐱Today we visited Purrrlandia, a beautiful cat cafe in Thousand Oaks (too far away from us!) It was a research-inspiration visit. With @nathanrlong.bsky.social
@nathanrlong.bsky.social and I were recruited by a friend to be HK Mahjong teaching assistants to total beginners. That was fun but wow, I don't remember the last time I talked/answered questions non-stop for 2 hours. It was intense! 😅 And next wknd: Vietnamese mahjong 101! #ourMahjongLife
Weekend photos 1. Sprained foot 2. Early copies of my new books 3. Mahjong tournament 4. My new zine! With @nathanrlong.bsky.social
