you know what the most difficult thing to write is? sex scenes and fight scenes between characters who use the same pronouns. what body part is where and whose body part is whose? who knows.

I’m from the Philippines. My ancestors fought the Spanish, the Americans, and the Japanese. We’ve fought fascist dictators. Our historical liberation movement was called terrorism. Our current freedom fighters are called terrorists. We only have a fighting chance at freedom

I’m Caribbean, I literally only exist today because my ancestors used violence to get their freedom

Creating a gown based off of the work of an Indigenous culture bearer is insane considering how the national costume (and the candidate herself) glorifies the very same military that harasses, b0mbs, and murders Indigenous people.

For int’l friends, so far we’ve: - had ballots for overseas voters pre-shaded - had vote counting machines “break” - been made to leave ballots uncounted as a result - had the vote count rest at more than half despite the “broken” machines - had explicit footage of vote-buying

we’re fucked. people don’t care about the consequences of global warming unless it affects them directly and unfortunately for us in the global south, we’re at the front lines of the climate crisis

“what’s the point of dark/depressing/disgusting media if it makes people uncomfortable?” the discomfort is the point. it makes us sit with our emotions and in doing so uncover more facets of the human experience. for many who have gone through “dark/depressing/disgusting”

My favorite genre of art is “colonizer fucks around and finds out”

Statues of Our Lady of Sorrows just scratch a particular itch in my raised-Filipino Catholic brain

catholic art and specially these depictions of the virgin amaze me every time i see them because the pain and sorrow is so intrinsically emotional and detailed
