the only kayumanggi i rooted for (not quite sure if still "rooting for," but it was good while it lasted, and its influence made its indelible mark on oroboro book, esp the story in sigwa: climate fiction antho): kayumanggi roots science!

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

some "professors" with celebrity status (or ambitions) unabashedly disperse brainrot like their lives depend on it, that they basically function as special ops trolls with academic degrees and institutional repute

[Poe Derridameron @ilovechrissia]

it's really funny when those people haul out the tired old "you can oppose BOTH Chinese and American imperialism" and then you find they've never actually done the latter bit.

identity politics sans class analysis isn't just ridiculous but dangerous as well, as it nourishes latent nazis in chronically online avatars waving their flags of oppression, airing their anti-white diatribes, unwittingly letting actual imperialist plunderers off the hook.

[akie ⓥ🇵🇸 @akie_yano]

chronically online filipinos won’t bother to join protests or join or volunteer w/ mass orgs but will spend their energy and free time to harass and bully a random service worker in the US & claim they’re doing it for the sake of farmers’ rights

[akie ⓥ🇵🇸 @akie_yano]

yup, did a quick skim of some of the profiles and most of them rarely mention about US imperialism’s current plunder of PH. i just wish they pour their misplaced anger into that instead of this stupid ube discourse

[Kristine Ong Muslim @kristinemuslim]

The most unhinged part of this is the amount of effort and time devoted to bully a random person for ube farmers' getting short-ended when that is entirely the Philippine government's fault

Meanwhile, may tribute kuno sabay flex: nang ma-meet ni author si Greg B., kinilala din ang akda niya ni Neil Gaiman. Hindi ko alam kung bakit may aamin pa ring fan ni Gaiman. Pero, ang paliwanag lang diyan, may mga fan pa nga ni Rio Alma, at ng iba pang komplisito sa henosidyo.

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

Di-malay, at ngayo'y malay muli, at aminado: impluwensiyal sa akin si Greg Brillantes. Kaya mabigat sa loob ang gaang tinanggap niya para makatawid sa kabila. Malayu-layo pa ang sentenaryo ng Apollo. Nawa'y hindi ito makarating at maangkin ng sambayanan ang bukas.

[Jerson @jersonality]

The narrative of the false equivalence of police brutality and just rage from protestors is often a sign na bobo sila

[Tarantadong Kalbo @KevinKalbo]

putang inang utak yan napakatanga mo

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

Parang yung UAP ang walang respect sa dignity ng propesyon nila. Magsalita na lang kaya kayo sa wikang blueprint para kayu-kayo na lang nag-uusap.

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

Miting de avance ata yung sa EDSA PPM noong Sept 21, hindi protesta. Hindi pakikipagkaisa kundi kooptasyon sa espontanyong pangangailangan ng taumbayang magpahayag kontra sa korupsyon. Kaya kailangan ng Akbayan at mga Liberal na panatilihin ang inaakala nilang moral ascendancy.

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

Sige, tara, bigyang-platform pa natin ang Frankfurterz, tutal mga Pinoy tayong nagbabasa ng Pinoy Books. Sila ang magtatanghal sa Pinoy Books na mababasa ng mundo. Tungong ganap na world domination para may mga non-Pinoy na magbabasa ng Pinoy Books! Eme. All the best sa inyo.

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

Just putting it out there that I cringe @ my own photo quote cards (what tf do you call those? 'yun ba? kfine kelangan but 😬 kahiya) and @ my public speaking skill (issue! or kawalan ng!). Salamat sa pasensya sa awkwardness (no choice naman kayo, maging ako) at takits sa mata!

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

Last, for this day (sana): Sa black flag bearers & (A)ccounts dito, hinay-hinay din sa panlalahat. Di hivemind ang mga organisasyon ng mga tinutuya ninyong mga "ideologo." Sa isang organisasyon nga, mahirap magkonsolida ng hanay, ano pa sa "leftist bloc"? Ingat at takits sa MPD!

[zerotonin @tildeclutter]

Nope. Try TF again.

I condemn the violence at Mendiola. This is not what we aimed for in going to the various rallies yesterday against corruption and the plunder of government infrastructure projects. This is not how we deal with disgust at people who steal billions while millions go hungry.

Yet, I cannot get myself to condemn the groups that instigated the violence, only their violent methods. The crowd at Mendiola appears to have largely consisted of urban poor youth organized in social media interest groups. They came to protest with us. Whether we like it or not, they are also fed up with the corruption of DPWH officials, congressmen and senators, and government contractors. More than us, they literally are that sector of the population from whom food that is to be fed to their families is snatched from their mouths by the likes of Sarah and Curlee Discaya, former DPWH Engineers Henry Alcantara and Brice Hernandez, and corrupt lawmakers and public officials. As Jam Alindogan said, they were also the primary victims of Duterte's drug war and draconian pandemic lockdown orders. They suffered the most. As they said, "palagi na lang kami ang ninanakawan, kahit kami naman ang pinakamahirap". There is no worse crime than stealing from the poor.

I commiserate with the Manila policemen who became victims of their violence for simply doing their job. I am impressed by their patience and display of maximum tolerance. You did not deserve to be at the receiving end of the violence. Hindi naman kayo ang mga nagnakaw sa mga raliyista at kanilang mga pamilya. Ang mga nagnakaw nandoon sa kanilang mga mansyon, pinapanood na magsakitan ang kanilang mga ninakawan, binabato at hinahataw ang isa’t isa dahil galit na ang taumbayan. Ngunit sa galit, hindi puwedeng kahit kanino na lang pwede ibaling ang poot. Lalong lalo na, hindi sa pulis. Hindi sila ang mga magnanakaw. Sa katotohanan, pare-pareho kayong biktima ng mga magnanakaw. Bakit kayo-kayo ang nagsasakitan?

I would like to appeal to the Manila Police District not to compound the violence that transpired yesterday with another kind of violence, the violence of the State. Huwag na sana ninyong ipagkait sa mga raliyistang inaresto ang kanilang karapatan sa abogado at iba pang karapatan ng mga naaresto. Idaan nyo sila sa proseso ng batas. Ikulong ang dapat makulong. Hayaang magpiyansa ang hindi naman kakasuhan ng non-bailable na krimen. Irespeto ang kanilang mga karapatang pantao, kahit kahapon hindi kayo nirespeto bilang mga alagad ng batas.

Sa huli, matuto tayo sa mga pangyayari. Ayaw nating maging Nepal. Panagutin natin ang mga magnanakaw sa tamang paraan at sa mapayapang pakikitungo sa isa't isa. Kung hindi ka isa sa mga Discaya, Alcantara, o sa iba pang sangkot na mga mambabatas at opisyal ng gobyerno, kasama ka sa mga biktima. Hindi dapat tayo ang nagsasakitan.
