Punyeta ang init!
Bumisita ako sa Pilipinas nung Abril! At oo, sobrang init talaga summer na summer ang dating ko doon. Binisita ko ang pamilya ko at ang mga kaibigan ko sa Maynila at sa Tarlac. Sa Tarlac, nakasama ko ang lolo, lola, at ang erpats ko. Nakita ko din ang tita ko at ang kanyang mga pusa! […]

Walking Around New Jersey
We went up to visit my parents in New Jersey for a week to relax. We mostly spent our time around Lake Mohawk and Weldon Brook Wildlife Management Area. jag.talon@posteo.net or @jag@weirder.earth

Telling People About Free Food
I’ve been putting in more time helping out at Food Not Bombs recently since I’m currently unemployed. If you’re not familiar, it’s an all-volunteer mutual aid organization that distributes food to anyone for free. I’ve been really excited about mutual aid in the last couple of months, so I’ve been helping out by picking up […]

Tech cynicism
I’m tired of big tech. They get us hooked on their products. They track our every move, learning about our habits and interests along the way. They nudge us to buy things we don’t need. They feed us visions of a utopian future filled with smart devices and virtual assistants, but all I see are […]

Ika-29 at 30 ng Linggo: Paalam, DuckDuckGo
English Version Aalis ako sa DuckDuckGo bago matapos itong linggo! Hindi ako makapaniwalang halos 10 taon na ako doon. Sangkatlo ng buhay ko ang binuhos ko doon kaya medyo hindi parin ‘to kapani-paniwala sa’kin. Nagsimula ako sa DuckDuckGo bilang isang intern / consultant. Gumawa ako at sumuri ng ibat-ibang mga open source na plugin para […]

Week 29 to 30: Goodbye, DuckDuckGo
Tagalog Version I’ll be leaving DuckDuckGo in a few days after working there for almost 10 years! I’ve been there for a third of my life, so I’m still in a bit of a shock that it’s all coming to an end. I started there as an intern / consultant straight out of college—basically a […]

Ika-28 ng Linggo: Mac OS 9, Jiu-Jitsu
English Version Pinapahiram ng tito ko ang kanyang iMac G3 sa akin, at inuwi ko ‘to sa Philly nung isang araw. Mahilig akong gumawa ng zine sa HyperCard (Still Going at Cooking for Surveillance Capitalists palang sa ngayon), at sabik na sabik akong gumawa ng zine sa totoong kompyuter na makakapagpatakbo ng HyperCard! Ang iMac […]

Week 28: Mac OS 9, Jiu-Jitsu
Tagalog Version I got an iMac G3 from my uncle the other day, and I brought it home with me to Philly. I’ve been having fun making HyperCard zines (Still Going and Cooking for Surveillance Capitalists so far), and I’m really excited to try making more zines on an actual machine! The iMac that I […]

Week 27: Vigil, Death Stranding, Lunar
Vigil Last week I got to attend a vigil for the killing of a forest defender in Atlanta at Clark Park. I got to help the Food Not Bombs crew distribute soup, bagels, and croissants to people at the park as well. It felt good to be out there and to see people caring about […]

Ika-26 ng Linggo: Bayanihan, Debian, Kombucha
English Version Bayanihan Paulit-ulit akong namamangha sa konsepto ng bayanihan kaya tuloy-tuloy kong pinagaaralan at isinasagawa ito. Natapos ko kamakailan ang librong Practical Anarchism. Sinasabi sa libro na ang pag-susuporta at ang pagalaga sa isat-isa ay napakahalaga sa anarkismo. Nakakasabik ang aklat na ito, pero medyo malalim at masalimuot ang kanyang paksa. Ang susunod kong […]
