Type-moon fan, casual anime fan and fluffy romcom manga are my comfort food.

there's also the powerscaling aspect where even though Iori is OP as fuck where he learns multiple sword forms from multiple sword saints, Musashi fanboys like me lol still refuse to accept he surpassed her. It's like a Gohan vs Goku comparison type shit.

[Dread Nightdew @DNightdew]

you know seeing this discourse about type-moon mcs having terrible fandoms

makes me wonder why Iori haven't reach that level of notoriety yet

Maybe because Dorothea is not that well developed as a side heroine, or Takeru is gatekeeping that type of chuds idk

[Dread Nightdew @DNightdew]

[Giga Puddi @AoiAmore]

Constantly looking up the ages of anime characters because they made your pp hard must make for a miserable existence.

[Dread Nightdew @DNightdew]

that tweet about 'ur not a lolicon/shotacon because you like people your age' doesn't even make sense

unless you already think that being a lolicon/shotacon is a pedo

PhilHealth is omnipresent in every Filipino’s payslip, taking money whether workers like it or not. Yet in moments of greatest need, it often feels absent.

That’s what happened in the viral case of Maria Lourdes Sulit. Her husband Marvin contributed for over 25 years. When he died of a brain hematoma, PhilHealth declined to cover their nearly ₱200,000 hospital bill.

The reason: a technicality. He was confined for less than 24 hours. Under PhilHealth Circular No. 2020-0007, inpatient benefits require a 24-hour stay. But Circular No. 2025-0020 allows outpatient emergency benefits in cases ending in death within 24 hours. So which is it, then?

Sulit’s case is yet another crack in a system already under strain.

PhilHealth is mandatory under the Universal Health Care Law. Every Filipino is automatically enrolled, meaning every worker is required to contribute—regardless of income, preference, or private coverage.

And that has long been a point of frustration. Ask any tito, tita, tropa, or kakilala, and a familiar story emerges: PhilHealth often covers only a fraction of the bill. Families still shoulder significant out-of-pocket expenses.

Then come the administrative failures: the delays, the waiting, the stress on top of the hospitalization stresses.

Private health maintenance organizations help fill some of the gap. But even they can only do so much, often still leaving families exposed to catastrophic expenses that the public system is supposed to cushion.

And then, there’s the issue that refuses to go away: corruption.

PhilHealth has been repeatedly drawn into controversies involving anomalous claims, questionable reimbursements, and fund management issues that have reached Congress and the courts.

The latest one involved around ₱60 billion in excess funds—transferred to the national treasury. The Supreme Court later ruled that it’s unconstitutional, questioning whether health funds were being redirected away from their intended purpose.

The money has since been restored to PhilHealth, but its image isn’t getting any better. To many, it remains an agency that collects mandatory contributions, yet Filipinos don't get what they pay for.

Calls to abolish PhilHealth continue to surface. Let Filipinos keep their money. Rely on private insurance or personal means instead.

It’s understandable—especially in cases like Sulit’s—but abolition without replacement risks dismantling the country’s only nationwide health risk pool.

For all its flaws, PhilHealth remains the only attempt at universal coverage at scale. Removing it wouldn’t erase the need for protection.

So the real issue is not just whether to abolish PhilHealth, but what must replace or radically reform it.

Our Asian neighbors have made clearer choices. Thailand funds universal healthcare through general taxation, allowing patients to access care with minimal or no out-of-pocket costs. Malaysia heavily subsidizes public hospitals, keeping treatment affordable and predictable. South Korea operates a hybrid system where mandatory contributions are matched with reliable, structured coverage at the point of care.

The Philippines remains stuck in between: compulsory contributions without guaranteed protection, universal enrollment without universal certainty.

Now, the question is no longer whether PhilHealth should exist. Can it continue in its current form when the gap between contribution and protection remains this wide?

Can Filipinos still afford to pay premiums to a system they cannot rely on in a life-and-death situation?

Otherwise, PhilHealth only gives Filipinos hell.

frankly the halo games were made in the period that was the apex of American chauvism and of course they're full of right-wing mil sci-fi themes and I think it's more interesting to talk about that than attempt to "reclaim" them for good politics just because you like them

A history lesson: The Philippines' Marching Band traditions were brought over in 1901 by a Black American, Walter Loving.

It was USA propaganda to demonstrate how colonization is good for Filipinos to become "civilized".

"xxxHolic Rei" by CLAMP is teasing the 'Final Battle' in the latest chapter.

[Manga Mogura RE (Anime & Manga News) @MangaMoguraRE]

"Cells at Work!" creator Akane Shimizu revealed that she struggled with several traumatic experiences while working on the manga.

She was diagnosed with depression, hair-pulling disorder and later PTSD. She also revealed that she was a victim of financial exploitation and sexual victimization by relatives and on top of that experienced secondary victimization by her family. She had to cut ties with her younger sister who had inspired her writing.

These incidents remain major wounds for her to this day.

『はたらく細胞』の連載中には、複数の被害が重なり、うつ病と抜毛症、その後には心的外傷後ストレス障害の診断を受けました。

また、身内からの金銭的被害や性的被害、家族からの二次加害も重なり、執筆のきっかけとなった妹とも連絡を断つことになりました。

当時のことは今でも大きな傷として残っています。

炎上しない範囲で、小出しにお伝えしていけたらと思います🙏

Decidí dibujar a Tachyon con mis problemas de la vida (antes de posiblemente tener gastritis), excepto que en cuanto a mi cuello y espalda, fue antes de descubrir que mis dolor es tendonitis así que ahora ella tiene tendonitis x2.
