On September 23, 1972, the dictator Ferdinand Marcos placed the Philippines under martial law.
In a monument, 11,103 unlit candles represent a (inexhaustive) roll of victims from the era—you are invited to light a single one, once a day, to remember.

i'm part of the 'soft narratives' exhibition on it where you can see my clouds & stars 😇
I have so much respect for Neri Colmenares (
@ColmenaresPH
) and his lifelong struggle for the masses -- never compromising his values or beliefs even when the ruling parties are against him. We need an independent senate, and we need Neri!

@jediahkatz
for being the sickest eng to work with on this 🐬
Do more with video in your prototypes. We’ve made it easier to create realistic video players in Figma.
Add interactions that let you play, pause, mute, or skip to timestamps in a single frame. And you can now trigger events with video playback.

when i practice in america i suffer from minor psychic damage from asian-american nyc-based design students & 20-something swes whove just discovered art copypasting my CV & work & the words i spent a whole life suffering for. then i return home as nothing, as it always should be

Getting into Yale was hard, yeah, but most people can't even dream of it.
I won a draw of luck by birth. All the more should I recognize it, be driven by good while maximizing the place I was given, and then work to ensure that nobody ever has to play by unjust cards again.
