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 […]

Giving in 2020
Early in 2019, I realized that: I’m relatively wealthy compared to the rest of the world. (Here’s a visualization.) Money goes a lot further overseas. There’s an opportunity to change people’s lives even if I’m not a millionaire. So in 2020, I decided to continue donating and making sure that it goes to the most impactful charities.

Giving in 2019

On Giving
When I was in the Philippines back in June, I had a chance to talk to my grandma about giving money to charities. At that time, the majority of my donations have been going to environmental advocacy groups and to local non-profits. But what she was telling me was that I should try and think […]
