@VegapunkThinker @cornyloser @yengyosi_ Okay, but again, you need to understand the complexity of existing in a prevailing culture that isn’t specifically Filipino. When a filam says they Filipino, they are Filipino in the context of existing in the West and I think that’s pretty well understood

@felajibobo @cornyloser @yengyosi_ Now you're getting it. They just mesh together because most online filipinos went to the same hardship. So when Conyo's and FilAms not in the country say they are like us. They're really not "like us".

@VegapunkThinker @cornyloser @yengyosi_ Okay, so then it is just nationalism but in a ‘bonded through the shortcomings of our own gov’t’ kind of way and not in a way that’s actually cultural lol.

@felajibobo @cornyloser @yengyosi_ It's not about that it's about experiences in the country and how a filipino caused the struggle of other filipinos not american governments

@VegapunkThinker @cornyloser @yengyosi_ Actually yeah, rural America also experiences major issues because of gov’t neglect. It’s a small worldview to think your suffering is unique instead of seeing it as something to unite a group in the fight against imperialism and corruption

@VegapunkThinker @cornyloser @yengyosi_ It feels disingenuous and pedantic to claim Filipinos outside of the islands don’t understand struggle.

@felajibobo @cornyloser @yengyosi_ They can say they know the culture but have they experienced it? Like the festivals and food are all afront the real experience is the struggle and that's what Filipinos relate to.

@VegapunkThinker @cornyloser @yengyosi_ Identity? There are things in both camps that are uniquely, expressly the culture of one group or another. But what about Filipinos that exist outside of the islands makes it so that they are not your kin other than nationalism?

@cornyloser @yengyosi_ Can you elaborate on what you mean by ‘one of us’? Because if you’re referring to being mainland Filipino yes, you would be correct. But if speaking more broadly of being ‘Filipino’, what would prevent them (us) from being Filipino?

@Chams1569 @yengyosi_ Pertinent to living in the Philippines? I agree that the minimizing/tokenizing of the culture is annoying and problematic, but I do think it’s important to keep in mind the fact that diasporic Filipinos are existing within two prevailing cultures, especially in America

Chams@Chams1569·19 Şub

@felajibobo @yengyosi_ They'll spout the same rhetoric of "Filipino's when nurse" or "Filipinos when adobo/karaoke/extended family" but I can guarantee you that these guys don't know anything beyond that. Probably can't ride the jeepney routes or even know basic filipino pop culture refs

@Chams1569 @yengyosi_ Got it, makes sense. Lived experience is going to change the lens in which you experience culture, no? Is it really a fault that someone who grew up outside of the Philippines wouldn’t have a finger to the beat of daily life, or pop culture that is directly

@orthodox_33ad This is quite literally the reading our basilica did for Ash Wednesday mass

English

Orthodox Christian@orthodox_33ad·18 Şub

When you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance; for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6: 16-18

is there an official name for this? big orchestral hits, often held together by drum fills. i know why they’re used: provide grandeur & fill space without needing to change original arrangement. but can we give them an official name? i’ve been calling them “super bowl stabs” lol

K-Pop is pure slop as an art form. It was silly fun a few years ago, but there’s just no excuse for listening to something like this and enjoying it.

🚨 BREAKING: Outside the Minnesota State Capitol, conservative activist Jake Lang was arrested after defacing an ICE protest ice sculpture, changing “Prosecute ICE” to “Pro ICE.” Authorities say he caused about $6,000 in damage and booked him into Ramsey County Jail. Want to debate policy? Great. Want to vandalize and get arrested for it? That comes with consequences. DUMBASS

I went into a Somali Walmart in Minneapolis to buy one item. Somali worker comes up to me, can’t speak English, but is seemingly demanding proof of purchase. I showed her proof on my phone, but she couldn’t read it She then tried to DETAIN me. So I left. The irony is UNREAL🤣
