@C_K_Carpenter @anas_abdulhak @rebelmusecomics also (tho self-diagnosed) I highly suspect I've severe ADHD, executive dysfunction, time-blindness, also autism spectrum somewhere.
I can be either writer or artist, let me know if you have stories to work on, I'll think of some of my own too
@makapatag interesting how Quezon is not often known as dictatorial today, but I guess he could be, he also hated on the "biased / bayaran opposition media" of his day & wanted to promote radio to outcompete the papers &c.
@WatchingHawks@NationalBailOut does @NationalBailOut have a Philippine chapter considering that's the only other country with for-profit bail (and legalised bounty hunting)? sa PH it's obviously a US colonialist/imperialist influence.
@GabriellaBuba@lagunabayfables if you're looking for this, post mo on this FB group! maybe someone will have one to loan you if needed.

@GabriellaBuba@lagunabayfables I have this problem looking for PH books on FB groups. even on those groups panay buy & sell.
so now here's a group strictly to be a online Filipiniana library—loaning & borrowing lang: https://t.co/UJpnAj8HZH
@BlogTolkien@makapatag precolonial Philippine natives used to have spirit houses too, but of course Spanish-Catholic & US-Protestant colonialism got rid of most of them.
even on Wikipedia only the PH (and African) spirit houses are old photos; other Asian ones are modern.

@makapatag related to this if you have FB here's a safe space for native Pinoys who are leaving Christianity or just want less of its pervasive toxic & (mostly) colonial influence in PH society, gov't &c.:

not seen since 1941, nung WWII, the famous "Ang Larawan" painting by Don Lorenzo Marasigan aka "A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino" showing Aeneas carrying his dad Anchises fleeing a burning Troy, resurfaces after 80+ years.

I wish #rp612fic would include more classic lit, like Nick Joaquin stuff, "Banaag at Sikat" by Lope K. Santos, "Dekada '70", precolonial epics if possible … show me your "Ang Larawan" rp612fic people lol.
@cmliwagdixon ugh it’s Shorty Joe’s fault again as usual HAHAHAH lol.
tho of course other ilustrados used it too. I think Pedro Paterno used “Filipino” to mean even natives in “Nínay”, the first known Pinoy-written novel (1885).
hot take:
is it accurate to say Pinoy natives basically APPROPRIATED the term "Filipino" from insular & Criollo Spaniards born in the PH islands?
… why this isn't counted as a form of cultural appropriation ewan ko na lang. it wasn't ours but we insisted on making it ours lol.
