I reimagined the song from level one of LITTLE NEMO as a lullaby because I think it’s pretty. #DoSomethingPrettyWhileYouCan #HappyNewYear “Mushroom Forest” by Junko Tamiya © Capcom 1990 . . . #LittleNemo #JunkoTamiya #Nintendo youtu.be/qsCDWc_la6E?...

With October being Filipino-American History Month, LGBTQ+ History Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Spooky Month, this is always going to be the busiest month for us. #Octobersatz25 🇵🇭🏳️‍🌈♎🎃 #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #LGBTQhistoryMonth #Halloween

Ok, last one. My NEWEST mashup started as a nerdy fleeting demonstration for my friend @fireandicing partly as a joke, partly as a challenge and what started as a 15 second demo ended up becoming THIS! #belleandsebastian #stringbeanjean #luisfonsi #despacito #ghostworld #mashup

Here’s little bits of my 30 minute mashup celebration of Ashman & Menken called LITTLE MERMAID OF HORRORS. ❤️ #littlemermaid #beautyandthebeast #aladdin #disney #musical #littleshopofhorrors #mashup

I've wanted to do this since 1993 but vocal isolation technology was not accessible back then. I even tried to mix Domino's 12" instrumental with Mary's acapella track only to find that she was singing in a different key. Thirty+ years later - here's my little experiment #domino #maryjblige #mashup

I was always impressed by Mary J. Blige’s devotion to the original performance by Chaka Khan both in the studio recording AND live/unplugged. I had a hunch back in 1993 that if I played them simultaneously, they’d match up. What do you think? #chakakhan #maryjblige #sweetthing #mashup

There was something cinematic about having a raucous band playing right next to an impassioned PSL speaker. #NoKings

PUNK PRIDE was a riot. Thank you @peacheschrist.com 🖤 #gay #lgbt #queer #punk #pride

Being called "the Cole Porter of Castro Street" by Scott Marks is going to make my week. That and the paragraph it comes from is so delightfully dirty it makes *me* blush. Thank you, @scottemarks.bsky.social 🥰

Happy Beltane!

A Filipino Emergency Response Resource Document has been created by local community members to provide ongoing support including counseling, emergency aid and updates. docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Please let us grieve first. If and when the anger comes, it’ll be on our own time but please do not use our collective grief to support your ongoing political arguments, even if you’re doing so in the name of allyship. It’s literally only been one day since it happened and folks are stunned. 🙏🏽

If you can, please support the PacArts Spring Showcase screening tonight of I AM A GHOST at Digital Gym Cinema with the wonderful filmmaker @hpmendoza.bsky.social in attendance. Thanks. digitalgym.org/movies/i-am-...

★★★★ “One of Mendoza’s finest.” - Scott Marks, San Diego Reader I’ll be talking with the audience This Saturday for One Night Only! 👻

Please tell me that’s Vera Drew’s title for the unofficial sequel to REALITY BITES.

“Who is your most underrated filmmaker?” // The hosts of Bitch Talk get thrown a curve ball on the red carpet of SFFILM. Erin/Ange - this made my day. My week, this makes my damn month. And you can ask anybody: I think the world of you both. ❤️❤️❤️

Personally, I think the best way to celebrate John Waters’ birthday is to be unapologetically bold and fabulously ungovernable.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Godspeed, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov

One year ago today, I made this as a beacon to see if I could find any relatives of this lady. (It worked!) youtu.be/fXfSmRo_s5g?...
