Went on a research trip for my book. Took a lot of pics, took a lot of notes. Wrote absolute jack shit. Hope it helps somehow.
How do you use a city as old as Paris as inspiration for a country scrambling to recover its precolonial past?
WHY IS WRITING SO HARD here I am just trying to talk about this girl who fucked up and has to figure a way out of it, getting a gf in the process, and I'm currently buried in an avalanche of thoughts trying to list alternative plot structures better fit for what I'm trying to do

This was after a convo where I admitted that, if given the chance and the right motivation, I'd actually be pretty excited to learn programming

Just had a convo with a friend where they were (jokingly) appalled that I wanted to learn MORE about anything. Imagine going back to school.
I was like, "Bro, just call me a nerd, I can take it" ππ

Can't believe UK police don't use whistles anymore. How do they run after people? Currently imagining a--what do you call em--a bobby running around yelling "OI! STOP RIGHT THERE YA LIL SHITE"
I hope this trend of readers demanding that all queer characters are morally upright rays of sunshine dies soon because my queer characters are filled with rage and are often unapologetically terrible

The City We Became by made me want to write fanfic of the birth of the avatar of Manila. What a gorgeous love letter to a city. I haven't read a book in one sitting in years.

"M. is speaking to exactly this kind of problem. She isnβt demanding writers to change everything they create, lest they be problematic. Rather, her essay is asking for a larger, communal reflection on what kind of artwork we create and why." twitter.com/acvalens/statu

I am BEGGING foreign media covering whatβs happening here in the Philippines to acknowledge that the return of a Marcos presidency was NOT A RESULT OF CLEAN FREE ELECTIONS. They were marred by countless anomalies and instances of violence. STOP ACTING LIKE WE WANTED THIS.

a reminder to all international commissioners:
1 usd = 50 php
1 euro = 53-60 php
it means that YOUR dollar/euro can buy a single meal, and $11 is roughly around minimum wage here.
so please, DO NOT PULL OUT/CANCEL YOUR COMMISSIONS FROM FILIPINO ARTISTS. have mercy on us.
