graham cracker shortage in metro manila

Was Katrina Langitan an NPA member, a prostitute, or a drug addict? #shortpit #lit #pub journals.upd.edu.ph/index.php/li...

interesting historical thread on the term querida referring to native mistresses of married spaniards who come from poverty and turn to prostitution after being left behind. there are layers of ostracization in the present usage of the term.

save me, iced coffee and berocca

hell yeah, i got a fee waiver endorsement based on the merit of my work! hoping it gets granted omg

i really want a whiteboard stand. i feel like it will make starting a novel less daunting.

sharing here the (revised) chapter 1 of my thesis "Malansang Fish: Mistranslation and the Fact of Translation" because, two years later, i'm still proud of it: ovcre.uplb.edu.ph/journals-upl... #writingcommunity #academicsky #writingsky #cwstudies #poetics

my friend and i wrote separate poems about the same memories from 2019 and we ended up crying after showing each other. i miss her.

My birthday is less than 30 days away. I'd appreciate the gift of books considering the price of physical books in this country is obscene lol www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

i want tres leches cake so bad

i finished reading a book yesterday and it felt like pure drug shot directly into my brain each page. so nourishing after months of anhedonia.

free writing, sorry i ever doubted u... my writing gates have been reopened

writing new poems instead of revising old ones. the drafts are terrible atm but writing entirely new poems feels like solving a puzzle (fun!)

the anhedonia is slowly easing up but that relief comes with a challenge: my formerly suppressed, now intensifying hyperfixation tendency that i need to redirect to more productive activities

my brother brought home donuts THANK GOD ive been craving sweets for days but don't wanna spend because i've been saving

rereading as a way to get back into reading to combat anhedonia

i pretended i can't hear the census man knocking because not only am i braless i also have white pimple cream spots on my face. u can't make me make myself presentable 😤

my first perfume!

being bilingual is nice when you're a writer because if you can't word something in one language, most of the time you can use the other language to help you, then you'll just have translate it

doing another book cover 👀

my charging cord died on me today... rip

5 faves/5 tags food: mango, pasta season: summer drink: mango shake, iced coffee color: red anime: yuri on ice i don't have many mutuals yet so i won't tag for now ✌️

do we??

i got my closure and i didn't need to do anything

i haven't written for some time so it feels good to rework old poetry drafts

been coughing for more than two weeks now. i miss sweets and cold drinks.

i see old photos of me (like this account's) and contemplate loss (of clothes from my wardobe; where is that white top? i never noticed its disappearance till now)

filipinos throw out their feminism as soon as they find out a woman is a kabit. strips her of dignity and personhood. worse than the worst criminal.

got another offer but no funding :(

i can't do another year of this

gonna go insane waiting

i need some good news my god let me get that good news

how does this work 💀
