Hello new people! Though I am a philosopher by trade and training, I will post about anything I find interesting. So I may also post about, in no particular order: 🇵🇭 news, history, trivia, my fandom/s, being a late diagnosed ADHDer, parenthood, teaching, and adventures in Metro Manila commuting.

Kahapon, sabi ng anak ko, "nanay, the Doomsday Clock moved closer to midnight. Does that mean we're near the end of the world? I'm scared."
Nagtaka ako--saan niya yun narinig? Kaya nag basa-basa ako. /1

Ibabalik ko sa inyo: wala ba kayong awa sa 122 na bata, mula 1-17 years old, na pinatay? Adik ba yung bata na 20 months old? Kriminal yung 7 years old?

Lavin draws a really important throughline between corporal punishment and the wider right wing project in this book, in a way not many people are talking about. Isolating children into evangelical homeschooling and crunchy off-grid homesteading primes them for abuse.

When transportation is car-centric, tourist spots will inevitably congest when you force tourists - who by definition don't start off with cars - to use cars to go anywhere and everywhere.

We were all required to take basic psychology and basic sociology as undergrads in my college. That came in handy for so much: teaching, parenting, navigating different social norms across cultures, self-understanding. Plus my current research has a lot of overlap with sociology.

Talked to some protesters at length-- they told me they came out expecting impeachment to fail but that it was important to come out anyways and put pressure on the legislature. "See you next weekend, you bastards," one said.
