#resisttogether

[jeyembwi]

Ito ang araw ng pagkamatay ng malayang pamamahayag sa ating demokratikong bansa.

History will repeat itself. Sapagkat ang huling nagpasara rito ay matagumpay na napatalsik ng masa.

Makapangyarihan ang mensahe ng “fade to black” na naganap sa pagkawala ng ABS-CBN. Ang kadilimang idinulot ng pasistang rehimeng ito ay kukulayan natin kasabay ng pag-pula ng lansangan... Kasabay ng media oppression ay ang sama-samang pagtindig at pagharap sa hamon na ito. ✊🏻

In the service of the Filipino.

To all my LGBTQ++ and straight ally friends, officemates and family - always remember that you are strong and beautiful and enough. Regardless of shapes, colors, names and preference, we all deserve kindness and equality. We all do. Today, we celebrate our good fight for equal human rights. For all the judgment, for all the times they have told you that your love is wrong, for all the words they have pushed down your throat, for everything that they have kept and taken away from you just because you chose to be true - darling, we #resisttogether . This is not a discourse of who's straight or not, but of oppression, resistance and freedom. And darling, yes, we wave our flags until the war is over. #happypride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Happy Golden Anniversary to the Stonewall Inn Riots that started the Pride movement. May we continue to fight with pride for true equality and liberation.

REBELLIOUSLY TINY THE PODCAST Episode 1: Hannah LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE HERE  or SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES or STITCHER

I’m pleased to announce the first full episode of Rebelliously Tiny, a podcast where each week a special guest helps me respond to one of the thousands of personal questions I’ve received on social media.

This week we tackle a question that may be on many people’s minds as school years come to an end and big decisions need to be made. 

** Here’s this week’s question: “I'm at the point in my life where I have to absolutely grow up. Yet I don't know where I want to go or what I want to do. And the thought of the future terrifies me because I'm expected to be all sorted already but how am I supposed to when I don't even know what I want myself? I just feel like I can’t breathe- the pressure is overwhelming and I wish I knew what to do with my life as it moves on forward. I wanna be happy with my long term decisions, I just don't want to make them right now.”

This week we introduce Co-Producer Hannah McCasland, who worked behind the scenes with me to help put this podcast together. While researching questions to use on the show, one of them in particular resonated with Hannah and how she was feeling at the time, as a student about to graduate from college and step out into an uncertain future. In this episode, we talk about the pressures of decision-making, talking to your family about your plans, and how different privileges and identities can play into these issues. We also discuss my humble artistic career and try to figure out how to reconcile our passions with our practical circumstances.

You once replied to my message with a drawing that said: “Turning teen angst into feminist feels.” With all of my feelings, I am happy to tell you, I am now doing exactly that. I live in the middle east (I think that’s enough to explain my situation). Your message was a starting point for me; it fueled this ridiculously large flame in me, and it kept growing and growing, with every horrible incident that I have seen, heard of, or experienced, until it became indistinguishable. I have made a vow to myself and to girls all around the world, that I will not fail them. I will better each and every life, until my last breath, and I can asaure you that I am determined. AY, you are now a witness to this oath. And one day in the future, I’ll send you another message informing you that I have finally changed the world :) Love and deep thanks 💖

Ambivalently Yours:

This message means so much to me! I just want to keep reading it over and over. Lately, I’ve been feeling a little discouraged, and little overwhelmed with the fight. So your energy, enthusiasm and power are just what I needed right now. I’m so touched that my drawing was a source of comfort and inspiration to you, just as your words are a source of inspiration to me now. Every time someone tries to belittle my little pink drawings I will think about your kind words, and stop feeling sorry for myself and just keep drawing. Every time someone tries to discourage you from fighting for others, remind yourself that you were an inspiration to me when you first wrote to me in 2015 (message here / drawing here) and you inspired me again when you wrote to me today. I sincerely do hope you keep in touch and tell me about all of the amazing things I have no doubt you will do. Also, if there is anything I can do to help you along the way, please let me know. Stay soft, stay strong, resist together. <3
