Clip from my performance at the Soil Factory, Ithaca, NY September 19, 2025. After a week of creating unintentionally collapsing dream domes on the grounds and listening to the rhythms of the Lumad tribe(s) of southern Philippines.

How does sound, shape, and structure pattern our worlds and ways of belonging? How often do the rhythms and pulses of our everyday lives offer forms of belonging (1/2)

After a major break and pacing my creative energetic waxing and waning, I call to indigenous knowledges and dreams. I am an artist in residence September at The Soil Factory who received a Andy Warhol Foundation grant continuing its work to allow artists to explore.

Disabled people say “survival is resistance” because we can’t fight fascism if we’re dead

Many are barely holding on.

We know our lives are at risk.

Some of us can’t boycott or protest without risking death.

If we say something is inaccessible, believe us.

Help include us. We want to fight

Brought up a concern to someone and they said they didn’t want to fight. I said “doesn’t have to be a fight and if you agree we can discuss it. “They snapped back “it’s only not a fight if I agree with you.”

Don’t even know what to do with that response. But it literally broke my brain.

My ❤️ with Filipinx Canadians after the violence at Lapu-Lapu Day in Vancouver BC. The traumatic story of the Vietnamese man who killed the 11 Filipinos from ages 5-65 is so tragic as well.

All so overwhelming. Mixed feelings bubble.

Let’s care for each other as we ease through the complexity. 🙏🏽🇵🇭🙏🏽
Much love for Filipinx comrades and community impacted by horrific violence during Lapu-Lapu Day celebrations.

For ppl seeking support such as meal train or counseling, you can access resources thru Filipinx-led mutual aid network coming together.

For real…flying back to the USA as a outspoken political brown person with naturalized citizen parents AND being autistic is looking HIGHLY unsafe. But that arts funding is gonna dry up faaaaaaaassssst and my work is about liberation and getting it out often gets people thinking… 🫤😓🙏🏽

Called to schedule a massage asking what modalities were used. Thai massage is painful with my mobility challenges and popular here. They defensively stated “We’re not Thai.” I stated “I meant modality not ethnicity.”
B/c I have a “white” passing voice, I had to hear anti-Asian microaggressions. 🤬

Why is the government and the news so indifferent to the meltdown happening in UK #HigherEd right now?

Our universities are the envy of the world. Yet we are at risk of losing a generation of academics and damaging the sector beyond repair.
The UK car industry contributes £22bn to the economy and employs c 35k people.

Universities contribute £265bn and employ nearly 400k, over 10x as much.

Yet he seems ok to let that sector implode.
"My choice in these volatile times is backing British brilliance," says Keir Starmer, who promises to deliver "British cars for British workers"

Today out of nowhere, I started crying when starting to talk around a past traumatic event. Something that I have gone over in therapy and worked on. But the grief just came bubbling out.

The person I was speaking to said I was silencing them by being emotional.

Sums up the world today.
