I'm thinking now, the decision of a sacred cow male historian to completely erase the work of a woman historian, by saying IT DOES NOT EXIST is actually not just misogynist, it's also targeted, under-the-radar, censorship.

Interesting that on the one hand we have senatorial candidates celebrating how they top school-based surveys. On the other: you have the 20-year-old girl on noontime TV admitting she doesn't know what the Commission on Elections is. An important reminder about our young electorate. #2025Elections

I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

This erasure of a woman's LIFE'S WORK on EDSA1986. By a male sacred cow historian. My mother has 4 books on the EDSA people power, THREE CHRONOLOGIES updated every time with new available information, and a Tagalog essay. And they wonder why women wake up every day with anger. #historicalcrisis

for the love of baby cheeses can we stop adding -omance to every genre?
it just gets stupider and stupider. Horromance, now dystomance?
A book can have a romantic subplot without being turned into a cringe hashtag

I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other.
Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse.
I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

Right before this storm, a news report about a Congressman wanting to change the label "Disaster Risk Reduction" with "Disaster Resilience". To shift words and meanings, without a shift in the kind of disaster preparedness and governance, means: #thisisallcontent. Propaganda, too. #Philippines

Sleepless thought: what happens to the selves we have on the old platforms we've left behind? I've kept X, despite no activity on it, because it's still the space where local (Philippine) news and gov't agencies are. With barely any activity, my feed is mostly just people selling AI. #questions

I think the thing that is lost on those in the “echo chamber” debate is their thinking that these are inherently political apps rather than social apps that have been co-opted for political brainwashing and news. I want this to be my digital water cooler w/friends, not where I get lectured by Nazis.
