A copy of the official roll of successful examinees in the Occupational Therapists Licensure Examination last December 14 and 15. The document was released today, December 17 by the Professional Regulation Commission of the Philippines. Below is a numbered list, of sequence numbers 101 to 105. At number 104 is my name in full: De Mesa, Josef Bernard Soriano.

an uncomfortable part of studying human development is the unhelpful perpetration of outdated, rigid gender stereotypes
My review notes had the following text: Women prefer considerateness, honesty, dependability, kindness, understanding, and earning prospects. Men, on the other hand, prefer good looks, cooking skills, and frugality. According to our lecturer, these refer to "physical attraction", which I wrote on the margin. I also wrote in uppercase: SEXIST!, with my drawing of a Squinting Face with Tongue emoji.

honestly surprised with the influx of new followers here. hello to my dear global colleagues! what you'll witness in my little bluesky is a slow-motion account of my humble and arduous transformation into becoming a near-future professional 🥴 i am studying about neurological conditions tonight
A grainy webcam selfie of me past midnight in my tiny corner of a condominium unit in Manila, wearing my comfy Darth Vader T-shirt. In the background, literally behind me: a bunch of bedroom mess like a towel draped over a cabinet and a cartoonishly large cloth bag on top of it containing more bedroom mess. I may have ADHD
