i wrote a book about this! set during the american occupation, it mainly deals with the abuse filipino women suffered and continue to suffer under the thumb of the US army.
started querying it literally just today!!
used to read self help books and tried the strategies none of them really stuck. turns out that the best way to help yourself is to read the haikyuu manga
I'm convinced the potential audience for comics has never been bigger; there's been a direct pipeline from dogman/diary/raina to manga that has gotten them used to reading comics. my nephews (7/8) are immediately drawn to any comic laying around. it's on us to tap into that.
Temporarily going back to Twitter to ask everyone to watch Filipiñana starting today. I'm so proud to be a friend of Jorybell. She's one of the most hardworking people I know, a young woman from the province who has a dream to fulfill. She deserves this spotlight.
She’s like the ultimate antithesis to the epidemic of young people’s crippling fear of being seen as cringe or being made fun of, she was mocked yeah but she loved who she was and she shared it authentically and unashamed, she was literally the coolest person in history to me.
I really had people in my ear for damn near 3 and a half years straight tell me this shit isn't all that because of the "weak" 3rd act like you can go fuck yourself man straight trippin😭😭
