cosmic collisions

This year July 4th is the 247th Independence Day for Americans. For the Philippines it's the 77th Philippine–American Friendship Day or what used to be the country's Republic Day. 

a popular meme of the day

It is also the first of four super full moons for 2023 and Guru Purnima as well. To honor and express gratitude for the immense blessing of the guru. The word guru meaning dispeller of darkness as in the one who is a light unto this world.

Guru Purnima marks the start of monsoon season and heavy rains, the first day of a three month season from July to September. With Issa's birthday in July and Mahala's in September it is a season that holds special significance for both of us wonder | wonder | women.

‘Resistance’ handbook for America’s snowflakes

This year Independence Day celebrations are pretty dismal in the United States of America. Too many of us are still reeling from the upsetting news of our incarcerated immigrant children.


Children are seperated from their families. Locked up in heavily guarded secret locations. Forced to represent themselves in immigration court. At the mercy of a broken and bigoted government.

The UCLA handbook specifically defines “Trumpism” as a movement that consolidates power through white supremacy, misogyny, nationalism, xenophobia, corporatism, and militarism.

Published by the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at the University of California Los Angeles, a publicly funded institution.

The organization calls on urban planners to abide by four simple rules:

  1. Refuse to design, plan, or build systems that divide and oppress communities, including the proposed wall between the US and Mexico.
  2. Declare spaces ‘sanctuaries’ to undocumented immigrants, while planning sanctuaries for all victims of injustice.
  3. Commit to abolishing mass incarceration and the prison-industrial complex, while expanding ‘abolition’ to all systems that promote racial and social exclusion.
  4. Reflect critically and historically on the political economy of planning to understand and resist our complicity in systems of racial capitalism and patriarchy.

“We can begin by calling hateful ideologies by their proper names and working to delegitimize and eliminate them.” ~ UCLA

Keep a watchful eye people of the world. We are the vanguard of the future.
