Hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. You gotta do this shit sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. Life doesn’t care, it waits for nobody, you just have to keep going

Arlene Gibaga witnessed police shoot her husband dead in 2017, during the height of Duterte’s drug war. But she says authorities made her sign an affidavit stating otherwise.
“Wala daw po ako sa pangyayari… Nagulat na lang ako patay na asawa ko. Pero pinirmahan ko para sa mga anak ko.”
A new report by human rights lawyers group IDEALS has found the government has been unwilling to investigate drug-related killings. It comes amid Congress urging government to cooperate with the ICC.
“Salamat po sa lahat ng mangagawa sa pelikulang pilipino na lumalaban para sa mga kwento na dapat lumabas lalo na sa panahon na ito. Tapos na po ba yung dalawang minuto ko? Ang bilis po, pero mas mabilis parin pumatay sa bansang ito.”

holocaust survivors are begging people to understand that what Israel is doing right now is exactly what was done to them by the nazis.
there is no argument to be had.
Youtube suddenly deleted 15 years worth of on-the-ground video documentation of Palestinian life under Israeli occupation. This is how they systematically erase people's history and replace it with the oppressors viewpoint.
Here’s what we’re not going to do:
We will not allow bigotry to destroy our community and city in this devastating moment.
Islamophobia, antisemitism, and victim blaming cannot be tolerated.
We can + will reject it all. Not hard. We must focus on the lives currently at stake.
Political satire is dead in the Philippines. Nobody batted an eye when GMA and PNoy were being parodied left and right. Si ex-VP Leni ginawan nyo ng kung anu-anong fake news at memes from 2016-2022. Bakit ngayon umiiyak kayo? Ano si Sara? Reyna? Diyos?
Para kay drag artist Pura Luka Vega, hindi niya kailangang humingi ng tawad sa ginawa niyang 'Ama Namin' remix performance dahil naniniwala siya na ang Panginoon ay para sa lahat kabilang na ang queer community.
Luka was arrested by un-uniformed police, after allegedly failing to show up to a preliminary investigation WITHOUT having received any notice of subpoena from the prosecution.
This time, the bail is ₱72,000, which is plainly unjust. Luka is even cuffed, which is unnecessary.
“Kung nag-sorry na lang kasi siya.”
You don’t get the point, do you? Pura Luka Vega got arrested and is facing a lawsuit because some people’s belief was hurt. Pura did not steal millions of funds nor has they murdered anyone.
Your belief should not be the standard for justice.
Yesterday, Pura Luka Vega was arrested by un-uniformed police. Nakakalungkot. Nakakagalit. Pero higit sa lahat, nakakatakot itong balita.
Ipahatid po natin ang suporta kay Luka by donating for their bail and making sure our voices are heard #FreePuraLukaVega
