Remember how your options show your privilege. It's not just about the right choices you make, but what choices your privilege gives you.

Busy with more printmaking stuff this week and next, but you can still book me for other stamp/ printmaking/ zine activity for the last week of November. I combine printmaking with different advocacy activities and discussions, so we can do lotsa stuff beyond carving and printing. 🤓🤓🤓

We had a blast at Ugnay: Philippine Media and Information Literacy Summit 2025 last weekend at University of the Philippines Diliman! Huge thanks to Out of the Box Media Literacy Initiative for having us, and congratulations on a successful event.

Grateful that I'm safe from the typhoon and my apartment is ok after strong winds and rains. But just a reminder that this intensified typhoons and floodings are not just because of our corrupt government, but also due to climate change and historical emissions mostly caused by the first world.

The summit yesterday was pretty succesful! So grateful for Out of the Box Media Literacy Initiative for getting me as their supplier for the event. It was so heartwarming seeing the joy in the participants as they use my hand-carved stamps and customize their own advocacy stickers.
