(Watching White Lotus season 3): “You’ll notice lots of bald, white guys in Thailand. The locals call them LBHs.” “Losers Back Home.” Imma have to steal that name for all the creepy expats in Davao, Philippines.

#TodayinHistory in 1986, the human barricades across the intersection of Ortigas Ave. & EDSA forced the 12 tanks sent by dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. to pull back. It’s the 2nd Day of the EDSA People Power Revolution in the Philippines. www.facebook.com/share/p/12G6... #Edusky #democracy

The new Fantastic Four trailer reminded me that I once drew a Thing. Ben and Spidey are hands down the two most fun Marvel characters to draw.

If you are Filipino or Filipino-hyphenated, and want to be part of the starter pack, let me know. I learned in BlueSky that it is possible to create a space for Filipino representation in record time with starter packs (I've been here a month and have more followers than I ever had). Sali na!

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Find my art inside Storyworks magazine (Dec 2024/Jan 2025). The illustration is for a lovely short story called “Sweet Potato” written by @cynleitichsmith.bsky.social (I even snuck in my own trusty pup. The westie with a ball at the bottom left.) #kidlitart #illustration #kidlit

Just submitted the last page of a picture book that’s taken over a year to make — Including countless all-nighters, juggling 3 other picture books, a graphic novel, and moving to another country. 2024 has been a ride, but sleep now I must.

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible. Our time here to learn and live is brutally short. Don't keep gates. Hold them open. Wide.
