i know the laundry & taxes line from EEAAO has been making rounds but the line that keeps playing in my head is "when i choose to see the good side of things i'm not being naive, it is strategic and necessary... i know you see yourself as a fighter. well, i see myself as one too"

if you’ve stopped masking, testing and taking COVID-19 protocols, i’d definitely say now is as good a time as any to start again to protect yourself and others!! ESPECIALLY bc wastewater is showing a pretty big surge nationwide!!

the “filipino american” experience began bc of the political conditions in the ph & in america… idt you can say “this month is about filipino contributions to america” without acknowledging the way u.s. imperialism, colonialism, etc have impacted ph settler / immigration habits

stop saying journalism gives a "voice to the voiceless" bc it obscures the fact that the "voiceless" HAVE voices, they just aren't institutionally recognized!! you are AMPLIFYING the voices of people who have been doing work/who have lived experiences!

imo: journos should be coming out strongly against white supremacy right now and if that is being deemed "too political" for a news org, that's absolutely bullshit bc of the ways in which media has perpetrated and protected white supremacy in america. media is political.

if celebrities are talking about masking/COVID... you know it's Not Good. pandemic wasn't done before this case increase and it still isn't, mask up and test before seeing each other — community care and community engagement shouldn't mean spreading a disabling/deadly pathogen

part of why i think the "racial reckoning" in journalism "failed" (if it ever began?) because it was rooted in some misguided faith in multiculturalism, & not a restructuring of power relations/reexamination of how those function both internally/externally in newsrooms
