DOPE! ok…i hope they don’t find some way to criminalize this.
reverse graffiti.
instead of using actual spray cans…some artist are just cleaning dirt off of certain areas to make their masterpieces. and they are calling it reverse graffiti. kind of brilliant.

children are more dynamic and have more emotional depth than we adults often give them credit for…and GAH, they’re a whole lot cuter than we are, too. :)

(fun fact: that’s nat king cole in the beginning singing “dahil sa iyo” - “because of you” - a timeless filipino kundiman, or love song)
the organizing and labor history of filipinos runs deep. we are not passive, we are not docile; like haiti, like viet nam - we overthrew imperialists barefoot - third world innovation against first world technology. filipinos all over - no matter in the homeland or caught somewhere in the diasporic winds - we are still resisting, still organizing, still gathering together with each other and others for ours and their basic rights. this, to me, is truly the spirit of my people: our collective nature, our inherent goodwill. it is often said by foreigners who visit the philippines how “nice” and “hospitable” filipinos are, but here’s a word to the wise: don’t mistake the smiles for naivete because my people know how to fight.
i’m not tryna be divisive, i’m jus sayin - we need to get our propers, too. if anything, mexicans (and latinos in general) and filipinos (and asian + pacific islanders in general) ought to build upon this history as lesson to continue solidarity work in support of one another because, as immigrant and displaced peoples, we have more in common than we have in difference. SI SE PUEDE, indeed!
good morning. maybe it’s the “heat” (quotations bc, well, this is san francisco), but i have a feeling this is going to be how my today will be - sexy in subtle ways, subconsciously conjuring memories of former love(r)s. the weight of a step, the swing in a sway…i can already feel the warmth flooding back…
