The humbling truth about Earth: We’re not powerful enough to destroy the planet.

We’re only powerful enough to make it unlivable for ourselves.

Oh wow! Thats more than 20% of our population. That means 1 out of 5 Filipinos are functionally illiterate.

[Dr. Pamela Cajilig @anthropam]

Colonizers misread "bahala na" as fatalism. Philippine anthropology shows that "bahala na" is hopeful risk taking: agency + humility before limits.
We've done the work for this week's events and planned a fallback. Now the weather -and Malacanang- decide. Bahala na.

HINDI PA BA KAYO GALIT!!!!! 91 minors??? 91 MINORS WERE ARRESTED. Tapos lima lang ang arestado for the flood control corruption???

We will never "love and light" our way out of this especially since our own system treats us like animals.

After today, ano balak natin? Sa akin, and many smarter people have said this earlier: ilabas mga SALN, and matik waive ng bank secrecy laws for the President, the VP, congressmen and senators, DPWH officials, pati mga mayor. Keep up the pressure, demand complete transparency.

after the flood control fiasco, i suggest that the next thing we should go after DENR for allowing the environmentally damaging mining activities in provincial areas, case in point: Caluya Island, just right below Mindoro, where almost 1/3rd of it has been decimated by quarrying

At first, I thought each square represented one child killed in Gaza.

But each square actually represents TEN children.

The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skilful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, - this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole.” 2/2

Ursula Le Guin: “A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. 1/2

Dude, that fact that we’ve designed a world where old people can’t live without a smartphone but not smartphones they can safely interact with without immediately being scammed and bricking their phones is one of the biggest condemnations I can think of against capitalism.

“Sinong nagdudusa 'pag winawasak ang kalikasan? Sino? 'Yung mahihirap. ... And whose duty is it to protect our people? It is the government. And when you make decisions based on business interests, you have shirked your responsibility." -Gina Lopez

[Christ Orozco @xtianorozco]

Flooding in the Philippines? The technical solutions are the easiest part and they’ve been known for decades. The real disaster is the politicization of flood control: projects delayed, diverted, or designed for politics, not protection.
