    When the colonisers & imperialists invaded the Philippines, they built structures that suck land, labour, knowledge, life, etc. out of our sea of islands & its peoples. Then "independence" happened, but structures remained. Such structures include cartography, geospatial, etc.

        The current leaders (political, bureaucratic, economic, cultural, etc.) are maintaining these structures that suck & are still selling parts of the sea of islands to one major power or another. It's still about sucking land, labour, etc. This is what's called neocolonisation.

        Back to my thoughts this morning: so much is expected of us PH geospatial workers to map spaces (with precarious pay & under unsafe conditions) for sake of "development", etc. But then the mapping work is part of a very painful & traumatic reconstruction of a neocolonial economy.

        So when I say that cartography is traumatic, this picture I painted for you is a major part of what I mean. Doing western geography is so violent. I wonder if I could write this properly in the PhD, given the mental and emotional load it requires. (ok back to cooking and oceans)

        So true and horrifying. Please have a look at this amazing ethnographic work by @kaiy1ng: https://www.e-flux.com/architecture/at-the-border/325757/how-to-make-a-forest/ …
