just like a casual psa: as a filipino born and raised in the philippines, nothing pisses me off more than my ethnicity being collectively called “filipinx” like. we are not latinxs whose language is gendered or whose language history has led to the use of “latinxs”. filipino is a gender neutral language. we don’t use “she” or “he” for pronouns, we simply use “siya”. we don’t use the words “wife” or “husband”, we simply use “asawa”. FILIPINO IS A GENDER NEUTRAL LANGUAGE. stop applying western standards to make up some new collective term for filipinos. our identity as a people is fucked enough as it is with colonial mentality. nobody from the philippines actually uses “filipinx” in reference to themselves. using “-x” as a suffix in an attempt to be gender neutral while referring to my ethnicity as a whole does more harm than good bc it makes it seem like my own language is not enough when it, in fact, is. why make up a new term under the guise of gender neutrality when the language itself is already gender neutral to begin with? it doesn’t make sense.

if you wanna identify as “filipinx” bc of diasporia, that’s cool. that’s for YOU. but all i ask is to not use it to collectively refer to my ethnicity as a whole. it feeds into the colonial mentality that is so ingrained in our culture, where many filipinos conform to western standards in everything, from language to fashion to beauty, and it needs to end. we don’t need westerners making it harder for us to embrace ourselves. it’s hard enough as it is.

back in 2015, tumblr made me start using “filipinx” to refer to my people under the guise of gender neutrality. this made me forget this small but significant part of my own culture. it made me forget my own language. thank god there were people who made me stop and think and get out of the western mentality that is so deeply ingrained in me by society. what i don’t understand is how this trend is still being used to this day.

just. please. it’s 2017. call us who we are: filipino.

Remarkably, “American Gods” feels like a bad dream. That sensation of perpetual surprise, the disorientation of the seemingly normal, is what characterizes the experience of its protagonist Shadow …

A dapper, smooth-talking gentleman in a plaid suit named Mr. Nancy (Orlando Jones) is America’s Anansi. Opposite them are the “new” gods, the forces that have gained power because of how humans worship today: Media (Gillian Anderson), who keeps you staring at your screen with rapt attention, and Technical Boy (Bruce Langley), a thrill-seeking teenager who is irritatingly obsessed with the cutting edge.

In case you haven’t noticed, women really like the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Bucky Barnes. Surprisingly, the direct question of “why?” does not seem to have been asked, which suggests that the question of “what women want” isn’t actually something men are that interested in after all. However, after discussing this with other women and analyzing Read More

This is such an interesting article and an interesting angle on why Bucky and Stucky are so populare amongst female Marvel fans.

I really feel this hits the nail on the head.

I’d like a follow up about the glaring issue of lack of female representation, but it’s exactly that gaping hole that Bucky’s character somewhat fills.

I’ve forgotten how to write about feelings.

I don’t blog anymore. Barely write.

You’d think working where I work I’d be better at it. Maybe even do it for the dollars, not just for the heart.

But no. Now I just read people’s feelings, watch them, internalize and spit them out. And I wash mine out of me with so many tears, and I try not to wallow in them, even when I’m chest deep, waist deep, knee deep.

Drag my toes in the shallows, let them go.

I’m afraid you’re boring, or I’m boring to you (I know I’m not boring, period).

I don’t expect this to last and I cleave to expectations. But that’s the problem, you never meet expectations, never rise to them.

Until now.

Will you finally rise to this one too?

And after the rise, the fall.

it’s been years

and years.

and still you walked around that corner right into my life like you’d never left it, like we’d never been apart, and you took me in yours arms and it felt like everything had changed and nothing.

it felt like home.
