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.

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.

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.

"we listen to make finer and finer distinctions in tone, sound,& rhythm. The slightest nuances accumulate and refine one's aesthetics. If we also listen to so-called "background noise", we better perceive our relationship to place—all sound provides us w/ information & forges connections" -Oliveros

Just had someone tell me that I just needed reframe and “have a positive outlook” when I named my accessibility needs to engage in a project. How tiring… #neurodivergenceisreal #toxicpositivity #ableism

This is me in the sunshine insisting that I can be grateful while watching the collapse of the USA and trying to ignore the everyday irony that my family migrated to escape the effects of martial law to live in the new and improved martial law.

Forever grateful to be thinking with and imagining forward with the wisdom of my elders. Salamat ancestors and the Deep Listening facilitators who give me that immediate sense of connection.

Keep thinking of reasons my parents migrated from the Philippines: value for education/health research, economic protections for avg citizens, governmental corruption/crime, protections for those who constantly endure natural disasters.
All those things are in the Philippines & now not in USA. 🫤

But to share outside my culture means speaking in the colonizer’s language. I feel Audre Lorde’s wisdom about the masters tools and feel futile. AND if we as marginalized ppl don’t share with each other, it risks our survival… so I get a headache and pet my dog 3/3

I posted incorrectly that I recently voted for #RepAndyHarris and I checked my ballot and didn’t. Full disclosure: I had previously more than once since turning 18 several decades ago. Regardless I think it’s worth reading his shit response to being on board with Elon cause he’s a volunteer!?

I am so unsure about what actions to take these days about US affairs as an expat who lost faith a decade ago and simmering with rage against ppl who elected these MAGA/GOP chumps. But at the end of the day, I just want to scream “STOP TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE!”
Then I kiss my dog.
